Journey To Joy Live

Halloween is the one day we wear masks and pretend to be someone we're not. But what if you've been wearing yours EVERY DAY? The Superwoman mask. The one that says, "I'm fine." "I've got it." "I don't need help."

But behind that mask? Exhaustion. Anxiety. Burnout. And a woman who's tired of being everything to everybody. This week on Journey to Joy Live, I'm discussing:

-The five masks women wear to hide their struggles

- The emotional cost of always being "the strong one"

- Why being needed doesn't always mean being supported

- How to take off the mask, reclaim your identity, and put yourself back on your priority list!

You don't have to stop being strong. You just have to stop pretending you don't need support!

Are you building a successful life… or postponing the life you actually want? We're taught to work hard, sacrifice now, and enjoy life later. But what if "later" never comes?

This week on Journey to Joy Live, I'm joined by Dr. Kristine Goins, Integrative Psychiatrist & Digital Nomad. We're talking about:

- The hidden emotional and financial cost of postponing joy

- Building wealth WITHOUT putting your life on hold

- Why "just for now" can quietly turn into 10 years

- Creating a life of freedom, flexibility, and fulfillment NOW!

This week on Journey to Joy Live, we’re talking about something so many women struggle with:

Your Body Isn’t the Problem.

Join me and Dr. Aissa McGuirl DPT CSCS, Doctor of Physical Therapy, as we talk about how to deal with pain and feel stronger, more confident, and more at home in your own skin—without constantly fighting your body in addition to practical tips regarding mobility and breathing in order to change your body from the sympathetic nervous system response (fight or flight) to the parasympathetic nervous system response (rest and digest).

Because your body doesn’t need punishment—it needs partnership.

How do you know when a relationship is just difficult… or emotionally abusive?

This week on Journey to Joy Live, I’m joined by Joy Larkin, Narcissist Abuse Coach, for a powerful conversation about red flags, emotional manipulation, losing yourself in love, and what it takes to begin reclaiming your life.

Recognize the Red Flags. Reclaim Your Joy.

We’ll talk about why narcissistic abuse can slowly erode confidence, why so many people miss the early warning signs, what to do if you feel trapped, and whether it’s possible to feel like yourself again after emotional abuse.

If you’ve ever felt confused, drained, or disconnected from yourself in a relationship… this episode is for you.

As parents, we can't make every decision for our teens... but we can help shape the decisions they'll make when we're not around.

This week on Journey to Joy Live, I'm joined by attorney Renette Jackson for a conversation every parent needs to hear.

We'll discuss:

-The legal consequences of one bad decision

-How to have conversations teens will actually listen to

-Practical ways to help your teen protect their future—and their joy

Because protecting their joy isn't about controlling every choice...

It's about preparing them to make wise ones.

Do you ever finish one task... only to add three more?

As a Wife. Mom. Boss., the to-do list never seems to end. The laundry gets done, another load appears. You answer the emails, and five more come in. You take care of everyone else, yet somehow still go to bed feeling like you didn't do enough.

But what if the problem isn't your to-do list...

What if it's the belief that your worth is tied to your productivity?

This week, I'm diving into why so many high-achieving women struggle to ever feel "done," why rest can feel uncomfortable, and how to stop measuring your value by everything you accomplish.

Because here's the truth: Your to-do list will never tell you you're enough... but you can.

If you've ever felt like no matter how much you accomplish, it's never enough... this episode is for you.

What if your worst chapter isn't the end of your story?

September is National Recovery Month and National Suicide Prevention Month—a reminder that healing is possible, hope is real, and it's not over.

This week, I'm honored to sit down with Minister Katherine Brown whose journey includes surviving childhood trauma, addiction, incarceration, and unimaginable pain. Today, she uses her story to inspire others and remind them that their past does not have to define their future.

Together, we'll discuss:

- How trauma doesn't get the final say.

-The road from surviving to truly living.

-The power of faith, forgiveness, and second chances.

-Why recovery is about more than breaking free from addiction—it's about reclaiming your life.

If you've ever wondered whether healing is possible after life's darkest moments, this conversation is for you.

Because no matter what you've been through...

Your story isn't over.

If this episode encourages even one person to hold on, ask for help, or believe that tomorrow can be different, it will have been worth it.

What if your best years aren't behind you... they're just beginning?

Somewhere along the way, women were taught to fear getting older. But what if aging isn't something to survive...

What if it's your invitation to become bolder?

This week, I'm joined by Makia White, MA, Midlife Strategist, Author, and Consultant, for an empowering conversation about embracing your next chapter with confidence, purpose, and joy.

Together, we'll discuss:

- Why midlife isn't a crisis—it's a reinvention.

- How to reconnect with your identity beyond your roles.

- Building confidence, setting healthy boundaries, and embracing your value.

- Why getting older might be the greatest gift you've ever been given.

Because you're not fading...

You're finally becoming the woman you've always been meant to be.

Growing older is inevitable. Growing bolder is a choice.

When was the last time you chased something just for YOU?

This week, my husband Juan joins me for a conversation that's personal, honest, and one so many Wife. Mom. Bosses need to hear.

He's been chasing all 30 Major League Baseball stadiums. I've been chasing 100 half marathons. Those goals may look different, but they have one thing in common...

They're our "me time."

We'll talk about why pursuing your own passions doesn't take away from your family—it can actually make you a better spouse, parent, and partner.

-How do you make time for yourself without feeling guilty?

-Why "me time" strengthens relationships instead of hurting them.

-How to support your partner's dreams while chasing your own.

Because taking care of yourself isn't taking away from the people you love...

It's one of the best gifts you can give them.

What are YOU chasing that brings you joy?

What if you've been chasing the wrong goal all along?

So many women say, "I just want to get back to myself." But what if you're not meant to go backward?

This week, I'm joined by identity coach Sass Schaeffer for a conversation that will challenge everything you thought you knew about finding yourself after life's biggest transitions.

Because maybe your best self isn't behind you...

Maybe she's someone you've never met before.

Stop trying to get back to who you were. It's time to become who you're meant to be.
