Detached

For years I was hitting my head against a wall trying to “figure out” social media. It felt overwhelming, like a chore, a code I just couldn’t crack. I was convinced my algorithm hated me.

After an incredibly vulnerable moment I shared on Instagram after a day I was in my feels, everything shifted. And I'm not talking about finding some magical content formula or hook.

I'm sharing the three shifts that helped me consistently reach hundreds of thousands of new accounts each month and followers flooding in everyday. But it isn’t really about th...

NOTE: If you haven’t listened to Part 1 yet, go back and do that first!

In Part 2, we get into the juicy bits where we go through actual practical exercises to pull out your BS excuses and…well, light them on fire.

I break down the top most common blocks to sharing your story and why each of them don’t actually apply.

We go over everything from tips and tricks to weave your writing time into what you’re already doing, the myth that you’re a bad writer, and the lie that you n...

Join me for Part 1 of a recent live webinar I did taking you through my personal journey of writing and publishing!

You might think you don’t have time to write a book. Or maybe you’re telling yourself you’re not a good enough writer, you don’t know how to do it, or nobody will care because you don’t have a huge following.

But what if those aren’t actually the problem? What if the real thing standing between you and your voice is what you believe about yourself?

Trigger Warning: Death, Sibling Loss

Today (10/6/26) would have been my brother Kenny’s 40th birthday, and after avoiding this episode for three years, I feel like I’m finally ready to talk about it. As a collective, death is something we tend to shy away from, but after navigating this loss, I can’t deny how important it is to talk about.

Join me won’t you into a chaotic note in my Notes App called, “Grief” that I started right after my brother passed. This has turned into a dumping ground for all of my thoughts...

The last month has felt like a tidal wave that just won’t stop. Through some of the mess that life is throwing at me right now, I’ve come realize that so much of the aggravation it causes is from our resistance to it. In the surrender, the unexpected can be such a sweet spot if we let it.

When I look back historically at similar seasons, I’ve noticed that some of the biggest messes in my life have appeared right before a massive shift happened. When it felt like everything was falling apart, it was ac...

There’s a lot going on in the coaching space and I wanna talk about it - I’m talking about community, investment, disappointment, and what it really means to show up as part of a village. After watching some very public conversations unfold around multiple recent women’s events and entrepreneurship, I sat with my own feelings around it and have some things to say.

I share why I believe multiple truths can exist at once - and that often the most valuable part of an experience is often something you could never put on a list o...

From an author and publisher, trust me when I say your belief that you’re a bad writer is not all your fault.

This is likely a story that was handed to you through outside structures like school, grades, diagnoses, and environments where you were forced to be but wouldn’t necessarily choose. Over time, this resulted in years of learning to keep your real voice safely tucked away.

In this episode, I walk you through seven reasons you may have decided writing isn’t your talent, and why the answer isn’t perfection.

The tr...

We’re back with another off-the-cuff life update after having a breakdown last weekend that truly set me free. I go into the challenges of coparenting, transition days, the inner collapse that always follows, and letting it all be as it is.

It’s a new level of freedom when I began to allow myself to fall apart without fixing it, labeling it, or rushing myself back into productivity.

I share about the moment I craved connection and the viral post that followed, reminding me of the power that comes with vulnerability and allowing myself to b...

*TRIGGER WARNING - mention of postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis

In this episode, I’m back with Sandy and Wade for part two of their story, and this one goes much deeper.

Sandy shares what happened after the birth of their son, from extreme sleep deprivation and non-epileptic seizures to resurfaced childhood trauma, postpartum psychosis, and multiple psychiatric hospitalizations.

We delicately revisit the horrific lack of care, Sandy’s retraumatization, and the numerous times Wade had to bust her out back into real life where the future was more than uncertain.

We t...

Such an honor to interview my dear friends, Sandy & Wade Critides - entrepreneurs, mentors, and parents of three who’ve spent the last decade building businesses and intentionally designing a life around freedom, family, faith, and purpose.

These two incredible humans came into my life only a few short years ago, but have expanded me in massive ways just by being in their presence.

They operate on a frequency individually and as a family that is against what we are taught in society, taking leaps that are considered illogical and carving paths that most may co...

This episode feels especially vulnerable. I’m sharing another excerpt from my upcoming book, this time exploring intimacy, sexuality, shame, worthiness and what it means to stop measuring myself by whether someone chooses me…plus a very exciting next “chapter” for me (pun intended).

Tune into my essay, An Unplanned Detour, a deeply personal piece about physical intimacy, a scar that tells a deep story, and finally learning to separate my worth from rejection, relationships, and other people’s choices.

This is about allowing ourselves to tell the truth, meet the hidden parts of who we are and...

What happens when you stop letting fear cripple you and open up about everything you’ve endured? Chances are you’re going to create more change than staying silent.

Join us for Part 2 of my powerful interview with Advocate and Leadership Coach, Chelsey De Groot in our Landon Hail Press Author Community.

In this episode, I’m joined by Chelsey and members of our author community for a deeply impactful conversation about courage, visibility, and what happens in real life when we let our real lives shape the stories we tell - even if we only h...

I’m joined by author and advocate, Chelsey De Groot for Part 1 of a Guest Interview in the Landon Hail Press Author Community where we talk about the actual difference between impact and entertainment.

Chelsey opens up about experiencing domestic violence with her daughter’s father, unexpectedly losing her job, and choosing to finally publish her book, realizing that the hardest disruption in her life became a powerful invitation to move forward.

We talk about advocacy, policy change, and how the biggest shifts often happen from the smallest social media accounts because intention will always be m...

Get ready for a sneak peek into my powerful session for my dear friend, Princeton Clark’s “Breakthrough Leadership Summit”, where I had the honor of speaking to his incredible community.

I get really honest about the BS we tell ourselves and how 99% of the time, “I don’t know” means: “I DO know…and I’m terrified.”

You’ll hear about the biggest catalyst in my life that led me to leaving corporate, being thrust into motherhood, finally writing the book I postponed for ten years, and building a publishing company from a truth I almost kept hidden...

Taking it back to my book, “The Less Effect: Design Your Life For Happiness & Purpose”, diving into Chapter 2: The “M” Word. We unpack two of my favorite subjects: money and minimalism, and why choosing a life of less does not mean settling for less income, opportunity, or impact.

Minimalism is about removing what no longer fits so you can create more room for what genuinely matters. We touch on how my own inherited beliefs around money were shaped, challenged, and eventually transformed.

From manifestation rituals that got me nowhere to the practical power of clearing physical...

In this episode, I sit down with Serena Arora, best selling author, Ayurvedic health practitioner, and yoga therapist to talk about breaking generational silence, releasing inherited guilt, and finding the courage to choose a life that actually felt like her own. Serena shares how being raised by immigrant parents in a mixed-race family shaped her understanding of safety, sacrifice, and success.

We explore what it looks like to honor your family without abandoning yourself, and managing newfound relationship dynamics. From leaving a secure career and marriage to writing Unbound, Serena’s story is a powerful reminder that he...

What if the greatest act of self love isn’t bubble baths and massages, but finally refusing to abandon yourself? In this episode, I sit down with bestselling author, mother, and cycle breaker, Tammy Blake to talk about divorce, motherhood, trauma, emotional safety, faith, and the thousands of little choices that helped her break generational cycles.

We explore what it means to parent and reparent yourself at the same time, protect your child even when others disagree, and trust that healing can hold both grief and joy. Her work centers on healing, nervous system regulation, and faith-led tr...

Katie and Chris Bowick join me to share the story behind Coloring Outside the Lines, their dual-perspective memoir about addiction, recovery, marriage, and redemption.

We talk about what happens when one person is struggling with addiction while the other becomes consumed by fear, vigilance, and the need to hold everything together.

They open up about rebuilding trust, finding support outside traditional recovery models, and learning to honor two truths at once.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that healing is rarely neat or linear, and that sometimes the gray areas offer the honesty...

For centuries, women have been labeled as crazy, too emotional, too paranoid, too much - treating intuition, trauma, and assertiveness as problems to be diagnosed or corrected. We continue to pathologize women, yet fail to properly research them.

I explore how these patterns show up in the various stages of a woman’s life: adolescence, postpartum, menopause - times to be celebrated, but are instead shamed. We go into the very misguided medical research (or lack thereof), and the way women are often dismissed and gaslit when their knowing is spot on.

I also share my...

Join me in a raw conversation on a panel I spoke on less than two months after tragically losing my younger brother. (This will explain my very strained voice after weeks of tears and anguish.)

While this may not be the rosy, go-getter conversation typically heard at personal development events, it’s real and honest about how we can keep showing up when life is breaking your heart. This loss has shifted my perspective on everything, stripping away the energy it takes to pretend I’m anywhere other than exactly where I am.

We talk abou...

Today, we’re exposing one of the biggest myths about leadership and backing it with biology, research, and science. It comes down to a hormone that is responsible for keeping humanity alive (not to be dramatic) - and how women are the superior ones in this.

I’m breaking down how we as women are wired to constantly read social environments, assess trust, gauge safety, and lead from the “we” rather than the “I.”

This is not about women being better than men - it’s about challenging old conditioning, showing the evidence, and understanding that intuition...

In this episode, I’m able to share the news I left you hanging with last week - if you have no idea what I’m talking about, go back and listen first!

After months of being deep in uncertainty, fear, old wounds, and my motherhood in question being brought right back to the center, I’m talking about what it looked like to choose faith before I even had the proof.

This conversation is deep from my heart and completely off the cuff. It’s about surrender, support, shame, God, and the deeply inconvenient truth th...

For this week’s episode, I got an extremely strong download to hit “record” with nothing in mind except to speak from my heart about the season I’m moving through.

The last 8 years have been one of the longest and hardest seasons of my life. It hasn’t come without debilitating fear and loads of uncertainty - but along the way I’ve somehow learned how to keep it from running the entire show.

This is a raw conversation about how I’m reorienting my relationship with past trauma, mastering surrender, and navigating constant legal stress...

In this episode, I’m joined by Lindsey Marie, founder of Powerhouse Women, bestselling author and master community builder, for what feels less like an interview and more like a very honest first date between new friends.

We touch on business, but mostly we go beneath the surface into worthiness, visibility, boundaries, female friendships, grief, dating, self-trust, and the kind of personal transformation that does not fit neatly into an Instagram caption.

Lindsey holds nothing back, diving into what it’s meant to move through the end of a long-term marriage, enduring a complete financial rese...

Disclaimer: I am not a licensed health professional or doctor and this podcast episode does not include any medical advice, simply researched information.

We’re getting nerdy today because if you haven’t learned yet, I’m a forever skeptic needing to know the why behind pretty much everything. This episode is all about the science-backed healing power of writing and how it might be the missing antidote to your healing.

I share why writing my first book changed me in ways I could feel before I fully understood, and how I see the same transf...

Welcome back to Part 2 where I share the second half of a workshop I gave for Amberly Lago’s Unstoppable Success Mastermind, all about the myths and misconceptions that keep so many people from writing and publishing the book they know they’re meant to write.

We talk about the false belief that you need to be perfectly clear before you begin, the fear that you’re a “bad writer,” and the idea that becoming an author is only for writers with huge platforms, fancy credentials or endless free time. Spoiler: none of that gets to be the reason...

Join me in a live workshop I delivered to Amberly Lago’s Unstoppable Success Mastermind where we talk about what it really takes to write and publish a book.

It’s not just about gaining credibility, followers, money, or some shiny “author” label. Those things can happen, yes - but the real work starts with who you become in the process.

I share the origin story of how I became an author and publisher, why identity and clarity matter just as much as strategy, and the myths that keep brilliant people sitting on their stories for year...

In this episode, I’m slowing things down and talking about what it really means to come back to yourself when life feels intense, overwhelming, or just a bit too much. I share why reconnecting with your mind, body and spirit is not some abstract idea, but a practical, and necessary, everyday way to feel safer, calmer and more grounded in your own life.

We get into body intelligence, emotional awareness, and the ways your body is constantly communicating with you, even when you’re not listening (which is often for many of us!). I also talk abou...

In light of the horrific happenings in the world regarding men and consent - it begs the question: how much of this culture is engrained in society? The answer: more than we can ever imagine.

In this episode, I am unpacking time honored wedding traditions dating back tens to hundreds of years. While we consciously associate weddings and marriage with love in modern day (for the most part), this was not always the case - and the origins of nuptial rituals prove it. The scary part is what we have been passed down and taught to see...

In this episode, I’m joined by my close friend and personal coach, Alyssa Azcué for a deeply honest conversation about what it looks like to be in true feminine power and where we may be posturing as women.

Alyssa is a feminine embodiment practitioner, blending parts work, somatic trauma healing, and relational neuroscience to support women in reconnecting to their truth, feminine power, and inner stability.

We explore important areas like sacred sexuality, cultural conditioning, emotional safety, relationship dynamics, and the difference between external power and the kind that comes from being anchored in you...

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...
