If your stomach drops when your mom's name lights up your phone… You're not dramatic. You're not cold. You were conditioned.

The hardest part of growing up with an emotionally immature or narcissistic parent isn't just the relationship itself — it's the guilt, the fawning, the panic that shows up every time you try to speak your truth.

In this episode, I share my story of healing from that kind of love — the kind that came with strings, control, and silence — and how those patterns follow you into your marriage, your parenting, and your nervous system.

You'll learn how to:

• Recognize the subtle signs you were raised to please, not to feel

• Understand why guilt shows up when you try to set boundaries

• Stop mistaking anxiety for love

• Reparent the part of you still trying to be "good enough" Speak your truth — even when it shakes

You don't have to burn it all down. But you do have to stop abandoning yourself to keep the peace.

You love your husband. But every time hunting season rolls around, it feels like he disappears — and you're the one holding everything together.

You don't say much.

You tell yourself it's fine.

But deep down, you're exhausted… and quietly resentful.

Not because he leaves — but because you feel left behind.

In this episode, I'm talking about what almost broke my marriage — and how I finally stopped pretending it didn't bother me.

You'll hear:

• The conversation that changed everything (and how I found the nerve to say it)

• Why it's not really about the hunting — and what it's actually about

• How to stop swallowing your needs just to keep the peace

• How to set simple boundaries that actually get respected

• What shared responsibility looks like when he finally starts showing up, too

This isn't about controlling him.

It's about honoring you.

You're allowed to want connection. You're allowed to need help. You're allowed to say, "This isn't working for me anymore."

Let this episode be your starting point.

What if this year, you didn't do it out of guilt?

You love your people. But if you're honest, the holidays feel more like emotional survival than joy. The subtle pressure to say yes. The text threads that feel like landmines. The expectations you're "supposed" to meet — even when they make you feel invisible.

In this episode, we're talking about what no one teaches women: How to protect your peace when family dynamics are messy, reactive, or just plain exhausting.

You'll learn:

• Why guilt shows up when you try to set a boundary — and how to stop letting it drive your decisions

• How to step out of the "good girl" role and into calm, grounded leadership

• What to say (and not say) when your boundary is met with guilt-tripping or passive-aggression

• How to create a plan that honors your energy — not just everyone else's expectations

You're not selfish for wanting peace. You're not cold for needing rest. And you're not the problem for wanting something different this year.

You're the pattern-breaker.

What if your marriage could feel connected, safe, even passionate again — without waiting for him to change?

In this episode, Amanda shares how she stopped carrying the full weight of the relationship — and how everything shifted when she came home to herself.

You'll hear her real story: from 18-year-old new mom and teen bride… to a woman who finally felt seen, supported, and emotionally safe — without dragging her husband to therapy.

Inside, we break down:

• What emotional labor really looks like (it's more than chores — it's noticing, soothing, managing everyone's feelings but your own)

• How to stop filling in both sides of the gap and let him meet you halfway

• The boundaries that changed everything — without a fight

• Why waiting for him to "get it together" is not the way forward

This isn't about yelling, begging, or walking on eggshells. It's about coming back to you.

Does your marriage feel more like a business partnership or roommate situation than a love story?

If conversations are only about bills, kids, and logistics—and intimacy feels performative or distant—it's not just about chores or sex. It's about worthiness and your ability to receive.

In this episode, I dive into how intimacy, self-worth, money, and support are all deeply connected—and why learning to receive is the bridge from "roommates" to true partners.

What I'm talking about: ✔️ The hidden cost of obligatory, performative intimacy ✔️ How "crumbs" in your marriage lead to resentment and disconnection ✔️ Why your ability to receive in the bedroom affects your ability to receive in business, money, and life ✔️ The "refrigerator hum" of unspoken resentment—and how to clear it ✔️ The exact mindset shift that turns a household manager into a fully supported partner

This conversation will challenge you to stop tolerating scraps and start expecting the joy, intimacy, and partnership you're already worthy of.

Do you ever catch yourself brushing off your feelings, settling for crumbs, or convincing yourself you're "asking too much"?

Here's the truth: your relationship will never rise higher than what you believe about yourself.

If you believe you're "too much," you'll shrink. If you believe you're "not enough," you'll settle. But if you know you're worthy—you'll stop tolerating breadcrumbs and start creating the love you crave.

In this episode, I'm sharing hard-earned lessons from 18+ years of marriage about how self-worth shapes every interaction at home.

What you'll hear inside: ✔️ Why "keeping the peace" is actually damaging your relationship ✔️ The emotional labor gap—and how women are conditioned to fill it ✔️ How brushing off your needs slowly erodes intimacy and trust ✔️ Why your worth sets the standard for your kids' future relationships ✔️ A powerful question to ask yourself: what am I tolerating that my highest self would never accept?

This conversation is raw, honest, and packed with perspective shifts you can start living today.

What if the reason your marriage feels "fine" is because you've been settling for crumbs instead of speaking your truth?

For years, I kept quiet to avoid conflict. I told myself I was keeping the peace, but really—I was disappearing. Into motherhood. Into resentment. Into "fine."

The truth? Fine ends in dead marriages. And you deserve amazing.

In this episode, I share the seven shifts that saved my marriage and can transform yours too: ✔️ Why "keeping the peace" actually kills connection ✔️ How to stop doing it all and start sharing the load ✔️ The confidence hack that helps you start asking for support ✔️ Why saying yes when you mean no erodes intimacy ✔️ The key to setting boundaries without guilt ✔️ How to stop disappearing into motherhood and start showing up as you ✔️ Why settling for "fine" is the fastest path to resentment

If you've been longing for a relationship that feels alive again, this one is for you.

Ever feel like you're running a 98-hour work week inside your own home—managing meals, laundry, appointments, and every last detail—while your partner just "helps out" here and there?

You're not alone. For years, I believed I had to carry it all: kids' schedules, housework, even my husband's appointments. I thought that was just "mom life." But it left me resentful, exhausted, and disconnected in my own marriage.

Here's the truth: You don't have to do it all. And asking for support isn't asking too much.

In this episode, I'm breaking down: ✔️ The invisible contracts couples carry into marriage (and how they set us up for imbalance) ✔️ Why resentment builds when we don't let our partners step up ✔️ How we now divide labor in our home so everyone—kids included—shares the load ✔️ The nervous-system side of asking for help (and why it feels so hard) ✔️ Practical steps you can take to create a home where support is the standard, not the exception

If you've ever felt like a roommate instead of a partner, this conversation will give you both hope and real-life strategies to change it.

Have you ever felt like your marriage looked "fine" from the outside… but deep down, you were lonely, felt like you couldn't fully be yourself in your home, and holding it together with a smile on your face?

That was me.

In this episode, I share the story of removing intimacy from my marriage—not as punishment, but as a boundary that changed everything. From hunting trips that left me feeling invisible, to a separation that forced us both to look inward, and the decision that I was no longer available for the way things were—this is the real, messy truth about breaking patterns and finding your voice.

Here's what you'll hear:

✔️ Why "keeping the peace" cost me more than conflict ever would ✔️ The moment I stopped abandoning myself—and how it shifted my marriage ✔️ What removing intimacy taught me about my own worth (and why it made us closer) ✔️ Why boundaries aren't easy—but they create ease on the other side ✔️ How your kids feel the ripple effects of the relationship you model (even when you think it's "fine") Pretending everything is fine is like icing a cake that's still gooey in the middle.

And if you've been 'icing the cake' in your relationship instead of facing what's real—you are not alone. This conversation is for you.

Were you raised to "be seen and not heard"? To shrink yourself, keep the peace + stuff emotion down so that you weren't too much? If so, it's no wonder motherhood feels like a constant tug-of-war between honoring your kids' voices and holding the boundaries you didn't learn growing up.

In this episode, I'm sharing the real, messy, and freeing journey of raising kids who know their opinions matter—without losing yourself in the process.

You'll walk away with:

✔️ How to raise kids who feel safe speaking up without confusing boundaries for "bad behavior" ✔️ Why breaking cycles of silence and self-abandonment starts with you ✔️ What to do when your child's "big personality" activates you. ✔️ The power of repair (it's never too late to shift how you parent) ✔️ How modeling boundaries teaches your kids confidence, safety, and leadership

If you've ever worried about "screwing up" your kids — this episode will remind you: You don't have to be perfect. They need presence.
