Life doesn't follow a set plan as much as I sometimes wish it did. In this weeks episode I sit down and chat about the pressure of timelines, finding your own pace, and why 5-year plans are stupid.

This episode serves as a heart-to-heart reminder that your goals and dreams are valid, no matter how long they take — and that life isn’t a pass/fail test.

Let’s talk about the winter wearies. My least favourite time of year. The time where I am always tired, unmotivated and kinda blah feeling. Where everything feels like too much and not enough at the same time. If that sounds like you in this season of your life, let's settle down, get cozy and talk about it. In this episode, I’m chatting about how this season messes with us, why it doesn’t mean you’re failing, and how we can take the pressure off while still showing up for ourselves (even just a little).

This one’s a little different. I’m finally talking about my faith—my walk with God, where I’m at, and how it’s definitely not perfect (but still real). I went to a Christian conference this week that stirred something in me, and I felt like I had to share it with you. If you’ve ever felt unsure, unqualified, or like you’re figuring it out as you go… same. Let’s talk about it.
