If you’ve been trying to do everything on your own… this is your wake-up call.

In this episode, I’m sharing what hiring a nanny taught me about burnout, support, and why so many people never finish their book. Because it’s not about time—it’s about trying to do it alone.

If you’ve had a book on your heart, this will hit.

Inside:

• Why doing it all yourself is keeping you stuck
• The real reason most people don’t finish their book
• The identity shift that actually gets it done

In this episode, we're unpacking one of the biggest beliefs I hear from women who want to write a book and what they ACTUALLY mean.

We’re talking about why that belief keeps so many women from claiming the author identity—and why your lived experience, voice, and perspective might be exactly what someone else needs. If you’ve been minimizing your story or waiting for it to feel more legitimate, this episode is your reminder: your story does not need to look a certain way to matter.

What does it take to write and publish your first book? In this episode, I’m joined by Michelle Hooey — the first published author from Book Baddies Mastermind — to talk about launching her debut memoir, The Goldie Effect.

After her daughter Goldie’s birth led to a medically complex diagnosis, Michelle was forced into a season of uncertainty, resilience, and radical trust. That experience became both a memoir and a method: The 15-Minute Rewrite™, her framework for finding clarity and regulation without starting your life over.

If you’ve been sitting on a book idea, this episode will show you what’s possible when you stop waiting and start writing.

F*ck Fear, my new book, is officially LIVE!!!! And today I’m pulling back the curtain on why I chose to self-publish this book instead of waiting for a traditional deal.

In this episode, I’m sharing:

• Why I didn’t wait to be chosen
• The myths around traditional publishing
• The fears that came up (and how I moved anyway)
• What self-publishing taught me about power and authority

If you’ve ever felt like you’re waiting for permission — this one’s for you.

Fear gets loud when you leave your comfort zone. With my new book, F*ck Fear, releasing in a week, fear has been having opinions.

In this episode, I’m sharing what’s actually been coming up for me lately—from moving back to my hometown and wondering if I’ll fit in culturally or politically… to the full spiral around my new book.

What if it’s trash?

What if no one cares?

What if people get tired of me?

What if it’s not a bestseller?

What if I just… don’t publish it?

I also read an excerpt from F*ck Fear breaking down the most common deep-rooted fears—how they sound, how they disguise themselves, and why they get louder right before expansion.

What happens when nothing is “wrong”… but everything feels like a lot? In this episode, we're talking about a sneaky kind of overwhelm—the kind that shows up when life is expanding, opportunities are flowing, and things are objectively good. And yet, your nervous system feels fried.

We're Talkin' About:

• Why overwhelm isn’t about your mindset—it’s about capacity
• Why joy can feel as destabilizing as stress
• The difference between a full life and a sustainable one
• What it actually looks like to raise your joy threshold without burning out
• What I'm doing to ground and protect my energy in a time where I'm doing all the things

If you’ve been circling the same questions for months—

Who do I help?

What’s my niche?

What if I choose wrong?

This episode is for you.

In today’s conversation, I’m breaking down why the obsession with finding the perfect niche keeps so many new coaches and service providers stuck in inaction—and how waiting for the “right” answer is often just fear wearing a business-strategy costume.

We’re talking about:

• Why niching too early can actually disconnect you from momentum
• How “clarity” is usually built through action, not before it
• The hidden cost of trying to get it right instead of getting it moving
• What to focus on instead if you want confidence, clients, and direction to emerge naturally

This episode is pulled straight from a real Voxer conversation between me and my coach—recorded in the middle of real life, diaper change and all.

I asked the question I know I’m not the only one holding: How am I supposed to show up in my business, share good things, and keep going when the world feels heavy and overwhelming? Her response was the reminder I needed—and couldn’t keep to myself.
