Detached

Welcome back to another sneak peek from my second book, a collection of entries that go straight to the heart of motherhood, identity, and what it feels like to carry so much while feeling invisible.

I invite you into the messy middle of my writing (be nice!), how this book is more memoir than self-help (the power of vulnerable storytelling), and how stepping into the version of you in a moment brings the deepest kind of honesty to the page.

You’ll hear about the rawest accounts of my postpartum experience, the invisibility of motherhood, th...

In this episode, I’m talking about inner child healing, reparenting, and what it really means to meet the parts of yourself that still feel scared, unseen, or stuck in old survival patterns.

This work is deeply personal to me as it has been the gateway to truly understanding my own patterns and behaviors. The awareness of our relationship with the little being inside of us illuminates how childhood wounds continue to shape our adult reactions, and why healing starts by getting curious about what is actually beneath the trigger.

I break down the difference be...

In this episode, I’m back with part two of my very candid conversation with my bestie, Kristine, who interviewed me for her podcast, Crystal Clear.

We go deep into romantic relationships, self-love, and the difference between living as your Authentic Self versus your Strategic Self. I open up about old dating patterns, emotional unavailability, deep shame, and the ways I once hid parts of myself to feel more lovable.

We unpack what it really takes to break painful patterns, find the courage to tell the truth, and how to stop abandoning yourself in relationships. In...

In this episode, I take you behind the curtain with a very open and honest chat with my bestie, Kristine Munro about the friendship we have built over the years that has truly healed and changed me.

We talk about what it means to choose your authentic self over the strategic self: the one that stays quiet, plays small, and tries to keep everything “safe” - and how platonic intimacy is the gateway to understanding and healing relationship dynamics.

We touch on vulnerability, emotional safety, and triggers in friendships, and the importance of understanding your atta...

This is part two of how to survive a breakup, and we’re going deeper. If part one was about feeling the pain, this episode is about rebuilding yourself inside of it.

I’m sharing what’s helping me in real time, from redefining rejection and protecting my self-worth, to creating routines and rituals that anchor me when everything feels unstable.

We talk about self-care as self-respect, breaking patterns instead of repeating them, and why this season is not a setback but a setup for what’s waiting for you.

If you’re in the thi...

If you’re in heartbreak right now, adjusting to a new normal overnight, I want you to know you are not alone - in fact I’m right there with you.

In this episode, I share what’s helping me move through the pain in a grounded way, from feeling your emotions instead of stuffing them down, to cutting energetic cords, protecting your mental health, and choosing yourself even when it hurts.

This is about detachment - not as avoidance, but as self-respect. If you’re walking through a breakup, consider this your reminder that you were...

“Mindset”: the buzzword that, in my opinion, is wildly overused in personal development. For years, I was convinced this was where it all started. So many books, podcasts, and videos out there will convince you that if you just work harder on your thoughts, push through another challenge, or stay disciplined long enough, you’ll finally become the version of you that you’ve been striving for. But then without fail, you snap back to old patterns. Sound familiar?

In this episode, I’m sharing the missing link that changed everything for me; the precursor to Mindset. We dive de...

This week I’m sharing something deeply personal that has radically shifted my mental health and spiritual connection, ritual.

Not routine. Not productivity hacks. Ritual. The kind that grounds you when anxiety spikes, helps you let go when attachment tightens, and recalibrates you when overwhelm takes over.

After a season of intense growth, emotional release, and deep spiritual awakening, I realized how powerful intentional rituals have been in regulating my nervous system and anchoring me back into myself. We touch on the actual science that proves its ability to improve mental health, self-confidence, and overall we...

Trigger Warning: Mentions of sexual assault and r*pe

This is one of the most vulnerable and necessary conversations I’ve ever shared.

In this episode, I speak openly about women’s safety, the patriarchal system we live in, and how deeply normalized harm towards women truly is. I reflect on my own lived experience of sexual assault and harassment, collective trauma through these horrific times, and the moment that forced me to see these systems more clearly than ever before.

This episode is not about attacking men. It’s about accountability, awareness, and th...

This episode is deep, personal, and very close to my heart. I’m sharing a live teaching on detachment, identity, and why learning to feel safe being seen changes everything.

We talk about the stories we tell ourselves to stay small, the shame many of us carry quietly, and how often we outsource safety instead of building it within ourselves.

I share my own journey through writing, storytelling, and self expression, including how owning my story became one of the most healing experiences of my life. This conversation is about choosing yourself, forgiving who you’ve b...

If you’ve ever fantasized about becoming a published author, but you’ve let fear get in the way - this one’s for you. I’m sharing a live workshop I delivered at ALIGN - an powerful annual conference geared towards helping you step into your Higher Self. I dive into the top 4 writing and publishing myths I’ve seen in my career, breakdown the truth of the process, and dispel beliefs that stop people before they ever begin.

We talk identity before mindset as your greatest asset because no amount of tools will help if you don’t...

Come back with me to 2018 to revisit my first book, The Less Effect: Design Your Life for Happiness & Purpose. I’m reading an excerpt from Chapter 4, “Like Attracts Like,” - a real snapshot of who I was then: a cluttered mess with questionable friendships and a little too much Netflix…oh, and anxiety I kept brushing off as “that’s just how I am.”

We talk about why this work never ends and how to keep your peace living on this earth, aka full-time distraction machine. I get into how your stuff, your habits, your people, and your environme...

This is a VERY special episode…why? Because we just hit one year of the show! Episode 52, hallelujah! And I thought what better topic to dive into than the theme that has stretched me the most: Vulnerability - the real kind.

I share why I didn’t launch right away holding episodes and marketing for months, how safety and vulnerability actually work together, and the hard truth I had to face about hyper-independence and emotional availability.

And this episode isn’t without me taking off the mask and dropping the armor for a behind-the-scenes look at how...

It’s officially 2026, and I’m here with a quick reality check: the Gregorian “new year” is a made-up date, but we can still use it for momentum.

Today I’m walking you through the framework from my book, “The Less Effect: Design Your Life for Happiness & Purpose”. We dive into how “less” isn’t just about stuff, but about alignment in all areas.

We’ll start with the easy wins (your physical space), then move into your social environment (who guides you closer to you), and finish with habits (are you driving the ship, or are your habits dri...

If there’s one thing blocking you from love in your life, it’s this: being the “cool girl” (or guy).

Nothing amazing that I’ve attracted in life came from being nonchalant - it came from being unapologetic…and a little delusional. In this episode, I touch on the people-pleasing identity I carried for years and the pride I carried for staying chill and unbothered. How what I feel and expressing it fully (after all - I am a Pisces!) has changed my relationships, my dating life, and the way I show up for myself and my values.<...

This episode is a continuation of one of the most vulnerable things I’ve ever shared: a peek into the trauma mapped inside my brain. Sitting with Sarah Murphy for part two of my brain mapping session changed the way I understand my past, my nervous system, and the way healing really works. And wow, was it validating.

We talk honestly about sleep, anxiety, anger, resilience, and what happens when your brain has been stuck in survival mode for years. If you’ve ever wondered whether your body can truly recover, or if you’re just wired this w...

This episode is part one of a two part series, peeling back the curtain to my most expensive asset: my brain! You’re getting a front row seat to a live session walking through the results of a Brain Mapping session. Seeing my brain patterns laid out in front of me was equal parts nerve-racking and validating. After years of living in hyper vigilance, grief, and insomnia in my past, I finally got to see how my brain adapted and protected me.

Learning what my brain has been carrying showed me how much is actually possible when yo...

This one is personal, one where I am taking you through my celibacy journey - yes, you read that right. What it has revealed about my relationship with self and how it completely shifted my sense of worthiness, intimacy, and magnetism. This isn't about being anti-sex or anti-pleasure. This is about no longer abandoning myself for validation or escape.

Over the last year and a half, choosing celibacy has opened my mind in ways I never expected. It pushed me inward, cleared out old patterns, and rebuilt my sense of safety and connection from the inside-out. If...

Welcoming my first guest on the show, my sweet Landon Hail. If you have had the pleasure of getting to know this incredible boy through my social media, you know he is a very unique soul. He showed up with his full heart, his big imagination, and all the stories he’s been dying to tell you (and honestly, I was just along for the ride).

There’s something incredible about hearing how a seven year-old experiences creativity, family, and faith. We covered everything from songwriting to cassette tapes to meeting rock stars - and yes, I tear...

This episode digs into something so many of us neglect the crucial role it plays: the way we speak to ourselves and about our circumstances. Our words shape so much more than our mood. They shape our choices, our limits, and our sense of who we are. The best part is that shifting this starts with tiny, doable tweaks, not a full life overhaul.

I break down why your brain clings to old stories, how negative language keeps you feeling stuck, and why imposter syndrome shows up right when you think you are finally leveling up. You...

In this episode, I’m talking about what it really means to live in your fullest expression - because LIFE itself stands for Living In Fullest Expression. 

I share how years of conditioning, fear of rejection, and people-pleasing keep us small, and why choosing truth over comfort is the only way to live free.

I also explore the negative impacts from suppressing your truth and silencing your soul. This one’s about finding your voice, shaking over faking, and remembering that expression isn’t selfish- it’s healing.

In this follow-up to Part 1, I’m sharing the next set of personal signs that showed me my nervous system was actually healing. From giving without guilt to finding joy in the tiniest moments, these shifts are proof that peace doesn’t always arrive with fireworks - it often sneaks in quietly.

I get real about what healing looks like, that it can be messy and human (and sometimes hilarious). Calm isn’t a destination - it’s a practice your body learns over time. If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re making progress, this may just be the...

Ever wondered if your body is actually getting better, or if you’re just adjusting to the chaos? In this episode, I’m breaking down Part 1 of the 25 signs that your nervous system is truly healing. Sometimes the shifts aren’t monumental, but instead, micro-changes that mean progress is happening, even when you’re not conscious of it.

I touch on my small personal wins - when I started to notice I was truly healing, major perspective shifts, how I began to show up in relationships differently, and ways my own relationship with self has evolved. My goal is...

Come be a fly on the wall at a recent Keynote for HerIntention 2.0 in Denver, CO - a women’s gathering focused on health & wellness from the inside-out. 

I open up about the messy, beautiful reality of letting go of who I thought I had to be and finding freedom in my truth. From climbing the corporate ladder all the way to the executive suite to hitting rock bottom as a single mom, I share the moment I stopped chasing approval and started living from Truth.

We talk about shame, storytelling, and the fine line bet...

In this episode, I talk about about how to stop letting the noise outside of you run the show and start waking up to and trusting what the inside is trying to tell you.

If you’re craving more ease, clarity, and peace in your daily dec...

Ever feel like life got louder, faster, and somehow emptier?

In this episode, we dive deep into nostalgia for simpler times and our current state of technology and relationship dynamics. You’ll learn why I’ve been slowly trading digital chaos for something I call “analog life” - from getting a landline (yes, seriously) to teaching my son the magic of cassette tapes. 

I talk about how rapid technological advancements have rewired our behavior, what it’s cost us in real connection, and how to reclaim it without having to completely isolate yourself from society. <...

I thought it was time for a real and raw life update, y’all. In this episode, I leave the fluff by the wayside and get honest about what it’s really like running a business while raising my son as a single mom across the country from my only support system. I dive into the late nights, the deadlines, the endless to-do list and what healing actually looks like in the midst of a 7 year marathon. 

But don’t worry! I also share the tools that have helped me stay out of the trap of comparison and fee...

What if the thing that’s really keeping you stuck isn’t time or confidence, but the parts of your story you’ve hidden away? In this episode, I open up about the day that changed everything for me, when I finally let the scary parts of me be seen. 

I dive deep into all the reasons we stay small, why fear of judgment feels so heavy, how ego tricks us into staying quiet, and what actually happens when you give yourself permission to share your truth. Writing my story and exposing it to the world was the fre...

What if the missing link to hearing one another isn’t speaking louder, but instead becoming more inquisitive? 

In this episode, I share how fear and division have has broadened the gap in the US, and why choosing curiosity has been the shift that personally brought me back to peace. I open up about my own journey from rage for the state of our country to calm, and how embodying love in small everyday ways can change everything.

Listen to learn how to claim your own peace regardless of the noise, to bring you bac...

It’s likely that the world will never stop throwing curveballs your way, especially if you’ve chosen the path of personal growth. In order to weather these storms, we need to harness the skill of establishing safety in our life. But the first step is understanding that this isn’t something to be borrowed, but something you must create on your own. 

In this episode, I share the list of “anchors” that keep me steady through the chaos in order to feel stronger and more at home in my body and mind - and how each one at thei...

In this episode I speak openly about suicide and suicide prevention. Please listen with care and only if you feel in the right headspace. If you are struggling right now, you are not alone. You can call or text 988 in the US for immediate support, or reach out to local crisis services where you are.

This week I’m talking about something that is heavy, personal, and deeply important. September is Suicide Prevention Month and in the past week alone, I’ve lost two people I know and I am very shaken and still processing. But I cann...

Writing and publishing my first book came with a LOT of trial and error, let me tell you. In this episode I’m sharing the top seven things I would have done differently so you don’t have to repeat my mistakes. From treating writing as a healing process, to owning my author identity, to actually having a post-launch plan (yes, that part matters too), I’m pulling back the curtain on what really makes your book a success.

Whether you’re writing your first book or preparing for your next one, these are the shifts that can save...

If you’ve been making excuses for years for why you can’t write a book, this episode is for you. 

For years I told myself I wasn’t ready to write a book. Not qualified enough. Not interesting enough. But the truth? It was a serious worthiness issue that permeated my entire life. The fear of rejection and abandonment kept me paralyzed when it came to my full expression. 

In this episode, I’m taking you right into the moment I stopped hiding behind titles and expectations and finally let my story be seen. I’ll...

If you’ve ever settled for “good” to avoid pain, you’re in the right place.

In this episode I’m sharing another teaser for my upcoming book, disrupting how you’ve looked at your breakdowns in the past. It’s not just “breakdown to breakthrough” - it’s the step on the journey that most people never realize. 

We’re talking through the messy middle, how to make rock bottom your best friend, and the mindset shifts that keep me going when life feels heavy. Avoiding the hard stuff means avoiding the great stuff too. Creating our best...

Sharing with you my full keynote I gave live in San Diego at an event hosted by our PR partner at Landon Hail Press. I go deep into how I was able to write and publish my first book back in 2018 and the crazy journey to get there. 

I go into the heart of writing which is the power of telling your story, and how publishing a book isn't just about words on a page. It's about healing, being seen, and true freedom no one can take from you.

When I hit 40, it was like all of my f*cks suddenly left me. Well, most of them anyway. 

In this episode, I unpack the 12 things I’ve proudly left behind in my 20s and 30s - from needing to be liked or skinny to chasing perfection and constantly being available.

Join me in a raw and refreshing reflection on self-worth, boundaries, and what truly matters in life as you get older. If you’ve ever questioned why you’re still caring about things that drain you and sacrifice your well-being, this might be the gentle...

Sometimes anxiety, “laziness”, and exhaustion isn’t just that - it’s your trauma.

In this episode, I unpack the science of fear and trauma on the body and the brain, and how this can turn into a physical injury. I’m sharing the real reasons fear keeps us stuck, how trauma impairs our brain, and the powerful 3-step process that will rewire your brain and heal your soul.

If you’ve been living with daily fear and feel like you need the jaws of life to get you out, this one is for you.

What if the thing holding you back isn’t your lack of meditation, breathwork, or journaling but the forgiveness you think you’ve already done?

In this episode, I’m talking about the kind of healing work most of us skip, especially when the person we need to forgive is still in our life. I’ll walk you through what it really takes to move from avoidance into awareness, and why true freedom only comes when we’re willing to face what we’ve buried.

Here are the Highlights:

We’re going into a subject I have been navigating privately until now. In this episode, I’m sharing my journey of some low-key religious trauma to other trauma I have experienced actually routing me back to God. From being shunned by the Catholic Church to cults to finding my way back to my faith, it’s been a wild ride. 

I talk about what it means to detach from the conditioning, to question the version of God you were handed, and to build a relationship with faith that feels true to you.
