Ever feel like you just want to escape your own life—maybe book a one-way ticket to a quiet cabin in the woods or at least hide in the pantry with some dark chocolate? I get it.

In this episode, we’re talking about why so many of us feel overwhelmed and disconnected from what truly matters—and more importantly, how we can change that.

I’m sharing my thoughts on mindful living, why self-care isn’t just bubble baths, and how small, intentional shifts can help you create a life you don’t feel the need to run away from.

We’ll chat about finding joy in the little moments, realigning with your values, and making your daily life something you actually want to be present for.

So grab your coffee (or tea or that fancy sparkling water you love), and let’s dive in!

If this episode resonated with you and you're ready to start making real changes, I’d love to support you. Too often, we put ourselves last, running on autopilot and feeling stuck in the overwhelm. But it doesn’t have to be that way. You deserve to feel in control, at peace, and excited about your life again.

That’s exactly what I help women do in my 1-hour mini coaching session. Whether you’re struggling with setting boundaries, feeling drained from always putting others first, or just want to create more space for what truly matters, this session is designed to give you clarity, practical next steps, and the mindset shifts you need to start making real progress.
