Most of us set goals by looking at our past—not our potential. We recycle safe, “reasonable” benchmarks and wonder why life still feels misaligned.

In this episode of Practically Possible, we’re breaking down the psychology of future-self connection, the difference between SMART goals and identity-aligned goals, and how to set visions that energize you instead of drain you.

If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of small tweaks and “safe” growth, this episode will show you how to stop settling for what you know—and start building the life you dream of.

What if the reason you’re exhausted isn’t because you’re aiming too high… but because you’re settling too low?

The shift from 2x “tweaking” to 10x transformation.

How your nervous system determines whether you can hold bigger goals.

Why identity—not effort—is the foundation for sustainable success.

Practical ways to align your habits, boundaries, and vision with the person you’re becoming.

If you’ve been feeling stuck in small tweaks and “safe” growth, this episode will help you break out of the 2x trap and step into the kind of vision that actually energizes you.

Because the truth is: your dream life isn’t too much—it’s waiting for you to become the version of yourself who can carry it

In this raw and powerful episode of Practically Possible, I sit down with my friend Crystal Rumer—a woman whose life could have been a script straight out of The Sopranos. Raised in the world of organized crime, Crystal’s journey took a devastating turn when she found herself trapped in the center of a sex trafficking ring. One morning, she woke up in a strange bed, surrounded by women in cages—and realized she needed to fight for her life.

But Crystal’s story doesn’t end in darkness. It pivots into one of the most inspiring transformations you’ll ever hear. Today, she and her husband are building a thriving real estate empire, she’s raising two incredible children, and she’s showing women everywhere that generational change is possible. Crystal is living proof that no matter where you’ve been or what you’ve endured—you can reclaim your power, rewrite your narrative, and build a future rooted in freedom and purpose.

This is a conversation about resilience, faith, healing, and the audacity to believe that your past doesn’t define your destiny.

What if “fine” isn’t all you were made for? In this episode of Practically Possible, we dive into the science—and soul—of flourishing. From Martin Seligman’s PERMA model to the neuroscience of flow and connection, we’ll unpack how your brain can unlearn helplessness and rewire itself for vitality, meaning, and growth. If you’ve ever wondered how to shift from just surviving to fully thriving, this episode is your roadmap to building a life that feels truly worth waking up for.

That’s why I created the Aligned & Unstoppable Glow Up Challenge—a 12-week journey to help you reset your habits, align your health, rewire your mindset, and glow up from the inside out.

What if the real barrier to your growth isn’t mindset or strategy—but the circle you’re in? In this episode of Practically Possible, we dive into the psychology of proximity, the 5-person rule, and why aligned communities shape your capacity more than sheer willpower ever could. You’ll learn how to audit your circle, release relationships that keep you small, and intentionally choose the people who multiply your growth. Backed by developmental psychology, social science, & Neuroscience.

If you’ve ever walked away from a conversation feeling invisible, overlooked, or misunderstood—you’re not alone. Most of us learned a communication style early in life—passive, aggressive, or even passive-aggressive—that helped us survive, but doesn’t help us thrive.

In this episode of Practically Possible, we unpack the psychology behind communication styles and why women, in particular, struggle with assertiveness. You’ll learn:

The roots of passive, aggressive, and passive-aggressive communication

Why assertiveness is the key to being seen, heard, and valued—without guilt or conflict

How attachment styles and nervous system regulation shape the way we speak

Practical tools to bring more clarity, connection, and confidence into relationships, conflict, and leadership

Because assertiveness isn’t about being “louder.” It’s about finding your voice, honoring yourself, and creating trust in every space you walk into.

For years, I believed that if I could just “fix” my body—get smaller, stronger, more disciplined—I’d finally feel safe, loved, and worthy. Fitness became my armor. Perfection became my prison. And while the world praised my discipline, no one saw the anxiety, obsession, and fear underneath.

In this deeply personal episode of Practically Possible, I share the real transformation—the one that didn’t happen in the gym or on the scale, but in the unseen places where peace finally took root.

You’ll hear the beliefs that kept me at war with my body, the identity shift that changed everything, the spiritual and somatic tools that helped me come home to myself, and what health looks like now—measured in peace, not pounds.

If you’ve ever tied your worth to the mirror, the number on the scale, or your willpower, this is your permission slip to stop punishing your body… and start partnering with it.

🎧 Listen now—your peace doesn’t have to wait for “perfect.”
