You teach rest. You believe in rest. You know rest is necessary.

But when it’s time to actually rest? You panic.

This episode explores the raw, uncomfortable truth about why rest feels unsafe—even for therapists, healers, and helpers who teach it. We unpack how capitalism, survival programming, and identity get wrapped around hustle culture... and what it really takes to unravel from that mess. No fluff. Just the quiet part, said out loud.

That quiet “I can’t do this anymore” moment? It’s not failure—it’s the beginning of your truth. In this episode, we talk about the collapse as initiation, the shame that rises when we reach our edge, and what to do when coping just isn’t cutting it anymore. If you’re a therapist, healer, or helper who’s been holding it all together and secretly falling apart, this one’s for you. You don’t need to push through. You need space. You need honesty. You need a f*cking exhale.

Healing isn’t always soft or silent. In this episode, we rip the lid off the idea that healing should be regulated, quiet, or done in private. If you’ve ever ugly cried in the car, cursed in therapy, or felt rage rise up like a tidal wave—this one’s for you. We’ll talk about how silence became a survival strategy, why “quiet processing” isn’t always it, and how to reclaim your right to be loud, messy, and honest in your healing. It’s time to turn up the volume.

You don’t need another vacation—you need a nervous system that isn’t white-knuckling its way through life. In this episode, we unpack why rest feels so damn hard (especially for helpers), the nervous system patterns that keep us stuck in the hustle, and how to shift from crash-and-burn to recalibrate-and-reclaim. If you’ve ever felt guilty for resting, or numb even after a weekend off, this one’s for you. Welcome to the recalibration.

This one might sting a little.

We were taught that diagnosis was the doorway to healing. That naming it made it real. That codes and categories were compassionate. But somewhere along the way, the map became a cage—and we started mistaking paperwork for presence.

In this episode, I’m calling out what too many therapists, helpers, and healers have silently felt for years: that diagnosing often serves the system more than it serves the soul. That what we learned in school was incomplete at best, and harmful at worst. That we were lied to—and we’re still living with the impact.

If you’ve ever felt like you were betraying your own integrity just to stay "compliant"...

If you're waking up inside the very system that trained you...

If you're tired of slapping labels on people who are actually just hurting in a world that keeps failing them...

This one’s for you.

We’re not here to burn it all down (unless we are). But we are here to grieve, deprogram, and reclaim what this work was always meant to be: sacred, relational, and deeply human.

Listen in. Bring your rage. Bring your reverence. Bring your whole damn self.

It’s my birthday, and instead of blowing out candles and pretending I’ve got it all together, I’m pulling back the curtain on the things I’ve actually been learning, grieving, and growing through this past year.

This episode is not some Pinterest board version of reflection—it’s an honest look at what I’m no longer tolerating, what I now know in my bones, and how boundaries became my new love language. From shedding old roles to reclaiming my voice, I’m naming the patterns I’ve buried, the rules I’ve broken, and the parts of me I’ve finally stopped betraying.

If you’re in a season of becoming—messy, sacred, and wildly human—you’re in the right place. Let’s talk about what it means to evolve without apologizing for who you’re not anymore.

This one’s for the mamas. The space holders. The therapists who... go home and keep holding space, unpaid and unseen. The women do the internal work while packing snacks, running businesses, and trying not to lose themselves in the margins.

Mother’s Day isn’t always roses and gratitude posts. Sometimes it’s grief. Sometimes it’s an identity crisis. Sometimes it’s a holy reckoning.

In this episode, I’m sharing what it’s really like to be both a mother and a therapist—and why I stopped trying to get it all “right.” It’s messy, vulnerable, and deeply honoring of the paradox we’re living: raising others while still raising ourselves.

If you’ve ever felt stretched too thin by love, labor, and the lie of doing it all... this one’s for you.

You can spot the pattern. You know what’s not working. You’ve got the insight, the tools, the helper brain—and still, the people closest to you won’t take your damn advice. In this episode, we’re diving into the maddening, humbling experience of watching friends, family, or clients spiral while ignoring everything you’ve said. Why does it hit so hard? Why do we take it personally? And how do we hold space without losing our minds (or our boundaries)? Let’s unpack the emotional weight of being the “wise one” and what to do when no one wants your wisdom.

It wasn’t some high-ticket mastermind or soul-searching retreat that shifted my perspective because sometimes the biggest breakthroughs come from the most unexpected places. One random night, a simple (but eye-opening) chat with my husband revealed a key difference between us—and how those insights helped me make powerful, sustainable shifts in how I run my life and my practice. Thanks to Human Design, I realized we’re wired completely differently—and I’d been forcing myself to still operate like others instead of owning my energy. This episode is about the micro-shifts that came from ditching the comparison trap, letting go of the BS, and finally doing business on my terms. Sustainable doesn’t mean boring—it means sovereign.
