Dirt Track Confessions

We’ve never had more opportunities at our fingertips… so why are we so afraid to take advantage of them? This episode is all about perspective, the fear of judgment, and how we’ve allowed other people’s opinions to hold us back from pursuing the lives we actually want.

We talk a lot about being careful who we surround ourselves with… but what about what we consume every single day?

One random video made me question something I already felt confident about, and it sent me down a rabbit hole about algorithms, influence, and how quickly our feeds can shape what we believe, fear, question, and care about.

Your feed isn’t reality. It’s curated. And sometimes taking your power back starts with remembering that you’re still allowed to think for yourself...

You don’t have to stay loyal to a version of yourself just because she/he helped get you here. In this episode, I’m talking about what happens when your priorities shift, your definition of success changes, and the life you once wanted starts to look a little different. Growth isn’t always about becoming more, sometimes it’s about giving yourself permission to want something new. And that can be one of the hardest, most freeing things you ever do...

We spend so much time chasing the life we want, but how often are we actually present once we get there? In this episode, I’m talking about our relationship with our phones, the constant pull of social media, and how easy it is to lose hours without even realizing it. This isn’t about quitting social media, it’s about becoming more intentional with your attention. Because the life you wanted might already be happening while you’re busy scrolling through someone else’s...

I used to think freedom meant having more time, more flexibility, and fewer things controlling my schedule. But motherhood, business, racing, and just life in general have made me look at time completely different. In this episode, I’m talking about the tension between wanting more, chasing big goals, and still being present enough to actually notice the life you’re living. If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly rushing toward the next thing, this one might hit a little different...

What if some of the things frustrating you most in your life aren’t actually as out of your control as they feel? In this episode, I’m talking about the patterns we complain about, the standards we say we have, and the things we keep allowing anyway. From business and relationships to motherhood, confidence, and how we show up for ourselves, this one might make you look at a few areas of your life a little differently. It’s not about blame—it’s about getting curious about where you may have more power than you think...

What if the reason you keep struggling to follow through has nothing to do with motivation at all? In this episode, I’m digging into the pattern that keeps so many of us starting, stopping, waiting for the right time, and wondering why our confidence feels shaky. I share how this has shown up for me in business, fitness, motherhood, and even racing, and why the answer might be a lot simpler than we make it. If you’ve been waiting to feel more ready, more disciplined, or more motivated, this one is for you.

What if you’re not lost… you’ve just outgrown an old version of yourself? In this episode, I’m talking motherhood, ambition, changing priorities, missing your old life while loving your new one, and giving yourself permission to want something different — even if not everyone understands it.

Episode 200!! is all about giving yourself permission to want more without feeling guilty for already having a good life. We’re talking ambition, gratitude, outgrowing old dreams, and the freedom that comes when you realize not everyone has to understand the life you want to build. You don’t need permission, approval, or a perfectly logical plan. Sometimes you just need to stop watering yourself down and go after what’s calling you.

In Part 2 of this series, Mandee shares why criticism isn't necessarily a sign you're on the wrong path—it may be proof you're finally being seen. Through lessons from racing, entrepreneurship, and life, she explores the difference between seeking attention and accepting visibility, and why waiting for everyone's approval will keep you from the life you're meant to build. If you've been letting other people's opinions hold you back, this episode will remind you to stop looking at the grandstands and keep your eyes on your own race.
