Lindsey is back with part two of her postpartum catch-up, getting honest about personal growth, relationships, and identity after becoming a mom of two. She shares what this season has taught her about asking for help, letting go of comparison, and giving herself permission to do motherhood her own way.

She opens up about marriage, couples therapy, communication, and the reality of doing the relationship work while raising two kids. She also talks about how her priorities have shifted, what she’s temporarily letting go of, and why she’s learning to trust the timing of her creativity + career.

Most of all, Lindsey reflects on the identity shift that comes with a major life transition—and why uncertainty doesn’t have to mean confusion. This is a reminder to give yourself grace, stay present, and trust that the next version of you is allowed to look different.

Dr. Shefali, bestselling author + expert in conscious parenting, joins us for an honest conversation about raising emotionally resilient children in a world that is increasingly disconnected. She shares why parents must stop trying to perfect themselves—and start showing up fully as they are.

We talk about the hidden ways anxiety, achievement, social media, and performance-based parenting shape our kids, and why true connection starts with our own nervous system. Dr. Shefali explains how to raise children who trust themselves instead of chasing validation, success, or approval from the outside world.

She also gets real about the different ways boys + girls are being impacted by modern culture, from shame + disconnection to self-abandonment + the pressure to perform. This episode will challenge how you think about parenting + personal growth.

Haley Hoffman Smith, manifestation teacher + EFT tapping practitioner, joins us to talk about mindset, personal growth, and the courage to pursue the dreams that won’t leave you alone. She shares how she stopped playing it safe + became the woman she knew she could be.

From music to money, identity, and faith, Haley breaks down the beliefs that can keep us stuck—and how EFT tapping, subconscious rewiring, and the law of assumption helped her change what she believed was possible. 

She also gets real about surrendering control, trusting God’s timing, and letting go of the need to know exactly how your dreams will happen. If you’ve been afraid to hope for something again, this episode is a powerful reminder that your next chapter might require you to believe differently before you can live differently.

Seven weeks postpartum, Lindsey is back with a deeply honest look at going from one child to two—and the emotional well-being, self-awareness, and personal growth that have come with becoming a mom all over again. She shares what no one prepared her for about this transition.

From physical recovery and breastfeeding to overwhelm, guilt, identity shifts, and learning to ask for help, Lindsey gets real about what this season has demanded of her. She also opens up about stepping away from Instagram to protect her intuition and make space for her own inner knowing.

Then there’s motherhood the second time around: watching Mav become a big brother, becoming a daughter-mom, and realizing how much her choices now shape the woman her daughter will grow into. It’s messy, beautiful, challenging, and a powerful lesson in letting go of perfection.

In this episode, Krista pulls back the curtain on her journey from self-improvement skeptic to life coach, sharing what coaching actually is, why she finally trusted herself enough to become one, and what she’s learned about helping women transform.

She gets radically honest about the shadow side of coaching, the difference between a coach, therapist, mentor, and consultant, and why doing your own personal growth work is essential before you try to guide someone else.

From finding your niche to setting boundaries, building self-worth, and knowing when you’re actually ready to coach, Krista answers the questions so many aspiring coaches are afraid to ask—including how to make coaching feel authentic instead of cringey.

In this episode, author, activist, and speaker Dr. Najwa Zebian joins us for a deeply honest conversation about relationships, healing, self-worth, and boundaries—especially what happens when a relationship slowly disconnects you from yourself. 

We explore why leaving a toxic relationship can feel so impossible, how manipulation can erode your ability to trust your own decisions, and why the first step toward healing may be much smaller than you think. 

From rebuilding your identity to learning what healthy attachment actually looks like, this episode is about becoming your own source of clarity again. We get into communication, self-awareness, autonomy, reciprocity, and the difference between being deeply connected to someone + losing yourself inside them.
