What does it really mean to live a bold, adventurous life — one you can look back on with pride? In this episode, I share a conversation I had with my daughter that stopped me in my tracks. Her simple comment reminded me of something powerful: living boldly isn’t about being fearless — it’s about taking intentional action toward what lights you up, even when life is messy or uncertain.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, burned out, or just… meh — this episode will inspire you to reconnect with your inner fire and take the next brave step toward the life you actually want.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• The story behind the moment my daughter called me a “cool person”
• Why living boldly doesn’t require a total life overhaul
• How to know if you're stuck in "small living" mode
• Practical tips to start living with more courage, joy, and adventure
• Journal prompts and reflection questions to help you get clear on what your bold life looks like

In this episode, I’m talking about redefining productivity so you can stop feeling guilty for resting. Sometimes rest is the most productive thing you can do — and I’m breaking down how to shift your mindset to truly believe that. If you’re exhausted from always feeling like you should be doing more, this is a must-listen.

• Shift from "doing" to "being": Instead of measuring productivity by how much you accomplish, focus on how you feel and who you are becoming in the process — sometimes slowing down is the most productive thing you can do.
• Rest is productive, too: Rest, reflection, and stillness are essential for real growth and clarity. You don’t need to "earn" your rest — it’s part of staying well and showing up fully in life.
• Detach worth from output: Your value isn’t tied to how much you get done. Redefining productivity means giving yourself permission to prioritize what matters — even if that looks like doing less.

In this episode, I'm talking about the endless cycle we all know too well - every year we start off with tons of motivation to make the changes we've been wanting to make. Whether it's losing weight, getting in shape, eating healthier, being more positive or something else, we end up losing our motivation partway throughout the year (92% of of people quit by mid-February according to one study), beat ourselves up over it and find ourselves back in the same place at the end of the year only to do it all over again.

Wouldn't it be nice not to DO that cycle anymore? 

Listen in to learn about my 3-pillar approach to wellness and creating a life you're excited to wake up to and feel GREAT about as well as 3 simple tips you can put into action to start making change that LASTS today.

In this episode, I'm diving into holding your head high and taking the high road when you know someone is saying mean things about you.

It's painful and hurtful, and yet, it's really all about them, not you. Our brains want to make it about us because we want to belong and fit in, and we have control over what we do to attempt to "fix" the situation but we do NOT have control over the other person or people. Brains don't like not being able to control things.

So we're left feeling crappy when people say mean things about us.  Tune in to this episode to learn how to deal with this in a way that you can be proud of.
