This week on Brave Little Things, I have a very special guest joining me… my 10-year-old son, Adiv.

Our house has been full of challenges lately, and Adiv had just completed a week-long no-sugar challenge, so I invited him onto the podcast to talk about what it was like to do something hard on purpose. We chat about cravings, motivation, what surprised him, what helped him keep going, and what he learned about himself along the way.

I also share some reflections from my own recently completed 30-day visibility challenge—a month of showing up online every day, making videos, using my voice, and learning how to keep going regardless of the results.

Together, we explore what challenges can teach us, why temporary commitments can be so powerful, and how doing hard things often changes us in ways we don’t expect.

At the end of the episode, I also share details about a new challenge I’m leading in July:

The 28-Day Free Your Voice Visibility Challenge

We’ll spend the month practicing showing up, using our voices, taking imperfect action, and building trust with ourselves one small step at a time.

If you’d like to learn more, send me a DM on Instagram with the number 28 and I’ll send you all the information.

Thanks for listening, and as always, here’s to doing brave little things.

In this episode, I’m talking about something I’ve been noticing in myself lately — and I think a lot of entrepreneurs and creatives are quietly struggling with it too.

We live in a world of constant input. Podcasts, courses, reels, books, ideas, information, noise. And while learning and consuming can feel inspiring and expansive… there comes a point where too much input starts making us feel heavy instead of alive.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what I see as the three essential states of creativity:
consuming, creating, and integrating.

I share my own experience of falling in love with coaching, going all in on learning, eventually hitting a wall, and then rediscovering joy through creating, coaching, and expressing instead of only taking things in.

But the biggest shift came when I realized there was a third piece missing entirely: integration.

The walks without earbuds.
The quiet drives.
The staring-out-the-window moments.
The silence.
The space for your own thoughts to actually rise to the surface.

We talk about:

• why too much input can make you feel creatively blocked
• the nervous system side of creativity
• why some of your best ideas come when you stop trying so hard
• the importance of boredom, quiet, and spaciousness
• how nature itself models cycles of consuming, creating, and integrating

If you’ve been feeling creatively overloaded, disconnected from yourself, or like your brain just needs more room to breathe a little again — this episode is for you.

In a world obsessed with likes, reach, and “going viral,” what if virality isn’t actually the goal?

In this episode, I’m talking about the pressure so many business owners feel to grow fast online — and why chasing attention can sometimes pull us further away from the people we’re actually here to serve.

I share:

- The story of a coach friend who accidentally went viral overnight

- Why huge engagement doesn’t always equal aligned business growth

- The hidden downside of virality and algorithm-chasing

- Why your “low engagement” offer posts may actually be your most important content

- The difference between being an influencer and being an influence

- Why intimacy, resonance, and real connection matter so much more than numbers

This episode is a reminder that your job is not to entertain the masses.

Your job is to help your people find you.

School taught many of us how to succeed inside a system.

But entrepreneurship, creativity, leadership, and building a meaningful life often require a completely different skill set.

In this episode, I’m sharing 6 things I think many of us learned in school that we may need to unlearn as adults — especially if we want to build businesses, take brave action, trust ourselves more deeply, and stop living like we’re still trying to get an A in life.

We talk about:
- why “sit still and be quiet” can destroy visibility
- procrastination as information (not always laziness)
- why not everything deserves your “very best”
- the surprising power of failure
- self-trust vs outsourcing authority
- the difference between collaboration and dependence

This one is especially for my fellow recovering good students, perfectionists, people pleasers, and creative entrepreneurs trying to build a life that actually feels like theirs.

And when you're ready to unlearn all the rules that will set you free to be the best boss inside of your business and life, book a consult with me to get the exact kind of support you will need:

You know that phase in business where you’re showing up, trying things, putting yourself out there… and it still feels like it’s not working?

This episode is about that phase.

The one where it’s easy to start questioning yourself. Your ability. Your idea. Whether you’re actually cut out for this.

I want to offer a different way to look at it.

Instead of seeing it as failure, what if you’re actually in an apprenticeship?

I break down what apprenticeship originally meant (hint: it has nothing to do with being an expert or getting it right), why we expect ourselves to “be good” way too soon, and how real skill is actually built over time—through repetition, mistakes, and staying in the work.

We’ll talk about:

• why it feels like nothing is happening (even when a lot is)
• how we misinterpret the early stages of growth
• what it actually takes to get good at something
• and how to stop making this phase mean something about you

If you’ve been feeling like you’re behind or doing it wrong, this will help you see things a little differently.

Lately, I’ve been having the same conversation again and again—with clients, friends, and other business owners:

How do we show up in our businesses when everything feels heavy?

When the world feels unstable, emotional, or overwhelming, it’s very easy to quietly disappear. To stop posting, stop selling, and sit in that in-between space of not knowing what’s appropriate or what even makes sense anymore.

In this episode, I’m talking about how to navigate that in a real and grounded way.

Not from a place of “just push through,” but from a place of awareness, responsibility, and honesty.

I share my perspective on:

• the difference between real action and performative posting
• how to know what’s actually yours to speak about (and what isn’t)
• why protecting your nervous system is essential if you want to keep showing up
• how to redefine consistency during difficult or emotional seasons
• and how to continue showing up for your people without feeling disconnected from what’s happening around you

This is not about ignoring reality or pretending things are okay.

It’s about learning how to be a human being living in a complex world—and still lead your business in a way that feels aligned and true to you.

If you’ve been feeling unsure, stuck, or like you’ve quietly stepped back from your business… this episode will help you find your way back.

In this episode, I’m walking you through how to build generosity into your business—right from the beginning.

We talk about:

• why waiting until you make more money to give doesn’t really work
• how to choose what matters to you and where you want your money to go
• different ways to give (percentages, free spots, supporting causes, everyday generosity)
• and how creating this kind of “flow” can actually make your business feel more alive and aligned

I also share some personal stories—from a conversation that shaped my path into entrepreneurship, to real ways I’ve experimented with giving inside my own business.

If you’ve ever felt like you want your business to be about more than just making money… this one’s for you.

In this episode, we’re talking about what it actually means to be a “badass", and why I kind of hate that word and have stopped using it besides for the use of this episode. 

Because honestly? Most women are already badasses.

Our mothers, our grandmothers, the way we hold life, business, kids, emotions, everything… it’s already there.

But there is one piece of “badassery” that I think really matters.

The kind that actually changes your life.

And it’s this: Being the kind of person who does what most people won’t.

In this episode, I share what that looks like in real life—not just the exciting stuff (cold sea dips, early morning walks, planning big, playful experiences)… but also the really unsexy, repetitive things that no one talks about.

We talk about:

• Why the word “badass” can feel cringey—and what’s actually worth keeping from it
• The difference between doing what’s hard vs. avoiding what matters
• The “boring” habits that quietly change your life
• Emotional badassery (aka feeling your feelings instead of avoiding them)
• Why consistency > intensity every time
• And how to start identifying where you’re already showing up powerfully in your own life

This episode pairs really well with last week’s episode on accessing your inner strength—this is what that strength looks like in action.

If you’ve been waiting to feel more ready, more confident, more clear…

this might be the nudge to start doing the things you already know.

Mentioned in this episode:

• Noga Erez and what makes someone a badass in real life

This episode came straight out of real life.

Over the past couple of years, a lot of people have said to me, “You have so much inner strength. I don’t know how you do it.”

And living through war while raising kids, running a business, coaching clients, volunteering, and just continuing to live a normal life as much as possible has definitely made me think a lot about that.

But the truth is — inner strength isn’t something some people have and some people don’t.

It’s something we learn how to access.

In this episode I talk about what actually makes us feel stronger (and what secretly makes us feel weaker), especially when life is hard, uncertain, emotional, or overwhelming.

This isn’t just about war.

This is about business, parenting, relationships, health, grief, goals, and all the moments where life asks you to be bigger than you feel.

I share three things we need to stop doing if we want to feel stronger, and three things we can start doing to build real inner strength on purpose — even when everything feels messy.

We talk about:

• the difference between pain and victim energy
• why paying too much attention to other people’s opinions drains you
• how trying to make everyone else happy makes you lose yourself
• why choosing discomfort actually builds confidence
• how to stay grounded even when your emotions are all over the place
• and what it really means to be your own hero

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stretched, or like life keeps asking more from you than you feel ready for, this episode is for you.

In this episode, the belief that “being selfish is bad” gets challenged.

Many women were taught that putting themselves first means they are doing something wrong — especially mothers, partners, and people who care deeply about others. But over time, this belief can lead to burnout, resentment, and feeling disconnected from your own life.

This episode explores the difference between selfishness and self-care, why working on yourself is often the hardest work there is, and how taking care of yourself can actually make you more present, more generous, and more available to the people you love.

You’ll also hear real-life examples of how choosing yourself sometimes — even when it feels uncomfortable — can change the way you live, work, and show up in your relationships.
