Building a Life You Love


Listen Later

In this episode, I’m getting really honest about what it actually takes to build a life you love — the kind of life that feels aligned, peaceful, intentional, and deeply yours. Not the life you’ve been “managing,” not the life you’ve been tolerating, not the life you’ve been performing for other people… but the one your soul has been craving.

I walk you through the beliefs, behaviors, boundaries, and brave decisions that go into creating a life that feels good on the inside — not just one that looks good on the outside. And yes… I’m bringing the tough love, the humor, and the heart-to-heart moments, because this topic fires me up.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like your life has become a collection of obligations instead of desires, this episode is the reset you didn’t even know you needed.

I break down the mindset detox we all need — letting go of those old stories around worthiness, perfection, and sacrifice. Those beliefs didn’t start with you… and they don’t have to end with you.

Women skip the step of asking, “What do I actually want?” I walk you through why your desires matter, why they’ve been pushed aside, and why putting yourself first is the least selfish thing you’ll ever do.

I talk about the hard truth: no one is coming to hand you permission to rest, dream, or start over. If you want something different, you must take action. And yes, I go deep on the difference accountability makes.

I share why giant leaps aren’t necessary (or sustainable), and why small aligned “yeses” build the momentum you’re craving.

We talk about breaking old identity patterns, questioning why you’ve been showing up the way you have, and learning to set boundaries that honor the woman you’re becoming.

I dig into how relationships, community, and even routines shape your identity — and how to ask for the support you need without guilt.

We talk people-pleasing, burnout, family patterns, and the courage it takes to stop holding everything together at your own expense.

I share how I reinvented myself multiple times — and why midlife is the perfect time to start fresh, expand, and finally step into the woman you’ve always wanted to become.

I walk you through micro-wins, legacy, joy, and why living now matters more than waiting for the perfect moment.
