This week, I’m sharing in real time what came up for me after taking a much-needed few days away from meetings and client work. That space reminded me of three big things: I need to actually schedule rest, I need to keep reconnecting to my purpose, and in this season, the right investment looks a little different.

I’m talking about what it looked like to step back, what I noticed coming back into work, and why I know it’s time to hire in a way that feels aligned, sustainable, and supportive.

In this episode, I talk about:

My hope this episode reminds you to slow down, reconnect with what matters most, and get the support you need in the season you are in.

I’m walking you through a season where I have had to ask myself:  Am I stretching my capacity… or have I overcommitted?

Because there’s a difference.

Stretching feels uncomfortable, but aligned.

In this conversation, I share:

If your schedule is full but your energy isn’t… this is for you.

This episode is a reflection on Soul x Strategy - a two-day experience blending subconscious work with real marketing strategy, and what it surfaced for me in this season of simplicity.

Inside this conversation:

This intensive reminded me that I’m not meant to keep doing all the things. I’m meant to lead. To mentor. To build depth, not volume.

And that shift? It’s still unfolding.

So here’s the reflection I’ll leave you with:

When you walk into a room full of strategy and possibility…

I’m sitting down with my dear friend Amanda Key, someone I met a little over two years ago at our very first Powerhouse Women event. We showed up not knowing anyone, sat next to each other, and have been walking alongside one another ever since.

Amanda shares about her decade-long career in product development and innovation, and how she’s learned to blend data, intuition, and storytelling to create products people genuinely connect with. But we also go beyond career and into what this past year has looked like for her on a personal level.

We explore:

Amanda’s honesty and heart shine through this entire conversation, and I know so many of you will see pieces of yourselves in her story.

In this special in-person, dual episode recorded in London, Priya and I sat down for an honest, reflective conversation about identity shifts, inner work, boundaries, and what it really looks like to navigate seasons of change.

We talk about what happens when the version of you that once fit no longer does, and how to give yourself permission to evolve without needing all the answers first.

In this episode, we explore:

 If you’re in a season where things feel unclear, if you’re questioning who you’re becoming, or if you’re standing at a crossroads, this episode is here to remind you that you’re not alone and that you can trust yourself to find your way.

Welcome back for part two of our 2026 planning series. If part one was about getting clear on your desires for the year, today we’re taking it a step further and bringing those desires into a more grounded, tangible focus for Q1.

I’m walking you through how to choose your true priorities for this first quarter, how to break them down into simple, needle-moving action steps, and why knowing your numbers plays such an important role in all of it.

Inside this episode, we explore:

I also share a bit about two ways to work with me more closely this year:

If you’re craving deeper support, community, and intentional space to think, plan, and move forward, those details are waiting for you in the links above.

It’s always better when you don’t have to do it alone!

One week after finishing the Dopey Challenge, I finally had the space to sit down and reflect on what this experience truly gave me beyond the miles, the medals, and the early mornings.

In this episode, I walk you through the full experience from how I found out about the Dopey Challenge, why I chose to run with Team Fox in honor of my grandfather, and what six months of training really looked like, to the unexpected lessons that followed me long after crossing the finish line.

This wasn’t about pace. It wasn’t about PRs. It was about learning how to listen to my body, fuel myself without guilt, say no without fear, and allow something hard to also be joyful.

Here’s what I reflect on in this episode:

I also share why this won’t be my last Dopey and how this experience reshaped the way I make decisions, trust myself, and show up without overthinking.

This episode isn’t really about running. It’s about what happens when you commit to something that stretches you, and allow the journey to change you along the way.

Most people plan their year from a place of obligation, over-functioning, and blind optimism. In this episode, I lay the strategic foundation for planning & designing 2026 in a way that actually works, with desires that serve your life, not steal from it.

You’ll walk away with a clear framework to assess what needs to go, what needs to be completed, and what kind of life you’re actually building your business to support.

What You’ll Learn:

You can’t create alignment by accident. You need desires, intentions, & a structure that supports your energy, your family, your business, and your next evolution.

In this solo episode, I’m sharing my word of the year for 2026. This isn’t about picking a trendy word or something that sounds impressive. It’s about choosing a word that actually shapes how I show up in life, work, and every single day.

If you listened to last week’s episode on my 2025 reflections, this will feel like a natural continuation. If you didn’t, this episode still stands on its own as an invitation to simplify what doesn’t need to be so complicated.

In this episode, I talk about:

It was late December as I recorded this episode. I was cozy, cup of coffee in hand, and sitting with the last days of the year. 

And instead of pushing forward or planning ahead, I felt called to pause and reflect on what 2025 actually asked of me.

This year wasn’t about doing more.

At the start of the year, my word was worthy. Not as a mindset shift, but as something I wanted to live in my body, my decisions, and my boundaries. And as the year unfolded, that embodiment showed up through grief, rest, deep inner work, and unexpected growth in both life and business.

This episode isn’t a summary of the year.
