FOUNDationYOU®

Have you ever wondered what happened to the ambitious, motivated person you used to be? Are you losing your drive, getting lazy, or simply entering a new chapter of life?

After taking some time away from podcasting, I'm back behind the microphone—and asking myself those very questions!

In this episode of FOUNDationYOU®, I'm exploring what happens when you've spent much of your adult life juggling responsibilities, building a career, raising children, and constantly working toward the next goal.

What happens when life finally begins to slow down? Why do we sometimes feel gui...

If you’ve ever had that feeling that something wasn’t right in a relationship… but stayed anyway—this episode is for you.

In this conversation, we talk about what it’s like to know something is off, to see the red flags, and still talk yourself out of it. My guest Gina shares her experience in a difficult marriage, the moments her intuition was trying to guide her, and what finally made her start listening to herself.

We also talk about what happens on the other side of that—leaving, rebuilding, finding a healthy relationship...

Let’s say the quiet part out loud — sometimes kids can be really hard, and act like jerks.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Erika Rappaport, a school psychologist and board-certified school neuropsychologist to talk about what’s really going on behind some of the most frustrating, confusing, and overwhelming behaviors in kids.

We break down why kids struggle with empathy, why meltdowns happen, and why behavior that feels disrespectful is often completely normal from a brain development perspective.

If you’ve ever felt exhausted, triggered, or even guilty for not liking you...

Diane the queen of saving money shares her powerful story of becoming a single mom after experiencing financial abuse in her marriage and finding herself starting over in a hundred thousand dollars in debt. With two children to support and very little financial security, she had to quickly learn how to stretch every dollar and make smart money decisions.

In this episode, Diane talks about the mindset shifts that helped her move from survival mode to financial stability, how she eventually bought a home, and the practical strategies she still uses today to save money.

After 34 years in the classroom, AnnMarie Ferreri stepped away from a career that shaped not only her students — but her identity.

In this episode of FOUNDationYOU®, AnnMarie shares what it was really like to retire after decades in education and face the question so many people quietly wrestle with: Who am I now?

We talk about the emotional shift that comes with leaving a long career, the fear of change later in life, and the pressure to believe that retirement means slowing down. Instead of shrinking her world, AnnMarie chose reinvention — exploring art, cosmetology, and new c...

In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with Allison Schouten to talk about the day her family’s life changed forever.

Her son survived a tragic accident — but survival was only the beginning. What followed were multiple surgeries, a traumatic brain injury (TBI), uncertainty, fear, and a long road of recovery.

This conversation isn’t just about trauma, it’s about what happens after.

We talk about:

• What it feels like as a mother to watch your child fight through trauma.

• Navigating hospitals, medical decisions, and the unknown.

• Copin...

In today’s episode, I’m stepping away from interviews and sharing — my own personal story.

Not many people know the full journey that shaped me. I’ve gone back and forth about telling it, but this podcast is about healing, growth, and building a strong foundation within ourselves, so it felt important to share where my foundation came from.

This episode explores childhood disruption, survival-based relationship patterns, motherhood as a turning point, grief, and the long process of learning what emotional safety really feels like. It’s not a story about blame — it’s a story about...

In this powerful and honest episode of The FOUNDationYOU® Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Randie London to talk about what it really looks like to be “high-functioning” while quietly struggling inside.

Dr. London shares her personal story of navigating trauma, grief, and the moment she had to face the truth that she wasn’t okay — even though she looked like she had it all together. We explore how coping behaviors can sometimes mask deeper pain, the role of family in truth-telling and healing, and what it takes to begin moving from survival mode into true healing.
