Have you ever noticed that the first question we often get asked as women when we're meeting someone new is "so do you have kids?"   Our identity as parents - or lack thereof- at times seems to function as a social filter of inclusion and measuring stick of our worth and goodness in a culture where motherhood appears to be held as the standard of healthy womanhood.   As a person who is not parenting, our it can often feel like we don't belong, we're misunderstood and even at times, are even actively excluded or looked down upon.

If you are someone who is not parenting and trying to find your way through a world that seems to think you should be, this conversation is for you. 

In this episode, you'll get to meet the amazing Katy Seppi, founder of the Childless Collective, an online gathering for childless women and non-binary people, and the Childless Collective Summit, a free 4 day experience of support, community and connection.

I recently canceled three commitments within ten days and it felt amazing.  Do you ever feel like you'd just love a night to slow down or an afternoon to yourself, but it doesn't feel like it's okay to cancel or rock the boat?   

In this episode, I share my own journey of breaking free of people-pleasing and over-functioning.  the immense relief that came with it. This isn't just about backing out of plans; it's about learning to respect your energy levels and recognizing the warning signs of impending burnout.

This episode is not just a story but an invitation to a mindset shift. We dive deep into the concept of energy management as a crucial act of self-care.  I also share some questions you can ask yourself to reevaluate your commitments and see where it feels comfortable and okay to change plans or change your mind without having to worry that you look flakey or unreliable.  This conversation aims to help you regain control over your schedule, assess your actions' impact on others, and understand how canceling plans affects our relationships and reputation. Join me for an eye-opening discussion about energy management, commitments, and breaking free from old patterns.

We've all been there - stuck in an recurring argument with our partner, feeling unheard and misunderstood and never getting to the bottom of things.  Did you know that 69% of your fights with your partner are unresolvable? World renowned couple's therapists and researchers, the Gottmans, have identified that nearly 2/3 of our conflicts with our spouse are Gottman are what they call "perpetual problems" - those unsolvable issues that you're never going to seee eye to eye on just because you are two different people.

 Is there a project, goal or change you just can't seem to find time for?  You are not alone.  For years I wanted to write my book and for years, it stayed at the very bottom of my to-do, making me feel guilty and stressed.  

This year I got honest with myself about what was really getting in the way of getting this thing done and subsequently got untangled from the lies that we tell ourselves about discipline, productivity and "getting it all done."

No one is "getting it all done." 

 Listen in as I share how I grappled with my own limiting beliefs and toxic productivity myths and finally made the changes I needed to do to get done something that was really important to me to do.  

By sharing my journey, I aim to offer you a fresh perspective on prioritization, the importance of self-kindness, and the necessity of realistic goal-setting. Let's together navigate the roles we play in our own frustrations and harness the power to change our approach, our mindset, and most importantly, meet our own needs, get into integrity with ourselves and get happier, more relaxed and more accomplished with the stuff that actually matters to us.

You know those moments when everything just clicks? That was me during a recent breathwork session – a transformative, 30-minute experience that rocked my world.  We often talk about releasing trauma, but this time, I felt a powerful need to claim it, recognizing these experiences as part of my human journey. Yes, healing is challenging and, paradoxically, we often resist doing what's best for ourselves, even when we know better.  But trust me, embarking on this journey is worth every moment.

In this episode I'm sharing about my own journey of healing trauma with breathwork and why I resist doing these sessions even though I always feel like a million bucks after.  

Whether you're contemplating therapy, a breathwork session, or just seeking a fresh perspective on personal growth and healing, this episode might just be the nudge you need. And hey, if you're intrigued by the idea of a one-to-one breathwork session with me, reach out and let's help your system get more free, clear and happy.

Do you ever find yourself trapped in a cycle of overthinking and second guessing yourself?  Like when you have an unpleasant interaction with someone and you just can't seem to let it go and instead obsess over it for days?  Or you lie awake at night weight out the pros and cons for a potential opportunity, without ever getting the peace and clarity you're trying so hard to force yourself to find?

In this episode, I share what I believe is one of the key reasons we get stuck in overthinking and 3 ways that you can start to more clearly recognize and respond to the nudges and pulls from your nervous system so you can learn to  hear what your own truth and inner guidance.

If you find this conversation helpful, please share it with someone else who may benefit. And if you have any questions or want to dive deeper, I'm here for you.
