In this episode, I share 10 things you don't know about me. Don't worry, there IS a point beyond navel-gazing:) My goal is for you to then go on and create your own list of things people don't know about you and to see how this helps you cue in to who you are and what matters to you. Because when you know the SMALL things that make you "you," it's easier to own the bigger things, too.

AP 591: My DSL Repeats || Growth Spurt

In this candid coaching call with Kate, a stay-at-home mom of two young children, we unravel the layers of perfectionism in parenthood and how we can treat ourselves with self-compassion. 
Kate shares her experiences of navigating the challenges of motherhood amidst major life transitions, including a cross-country move and the transition from working to full-time parenting. I encourage Kate to level with herself about her circumstances and redefine what it means to be a good mom within the context of her reality.
Through practical exercises and reframing techniques, Kate recognizes that being a good mom doesn't mean being perfect—it means showing up with love, kindness, and a willingness to learn and grow.

AP 589: What’s your #1 habit? || Growth Spurt

It's okay, and normal, that our romantic relationships change over time. What can be challenging is when we feel disconnected from the change

Emily's message of compassion, authenticity, and curiosity underscores the profound significance of prioritizing pleasure and communication in our relationships. Through candid conversations and a willingness to challenge societal norms, she reminds us that we hold the keys to unlocking real intimacy and joy in our lives.
