Ever think, “I love this, but how do I use it in real life?”
That’s why I created the Weekly Real Life Reset - a space to turn these ideas into real change with meditations, reflection questions, and grounded tools to shift how things feel at home.

In this episode, I open up about one of the most personal and powerful lessons I’ve learned as a parent: the voice in our head matters. We explore the role of self-compassion, not as a fluffy idea, but as a vital inner resource that shapes how we show up in our parenting. Drawing from Buddhist philosophy and my own lived experience, I reflect on the harshness of the inner critic, how it forms, and why it often becomes loudest when we feel most vulnerable. I share my own story of learning to meet that voice with kindness, how parenting made it louder, and how the practice of softening inward has helped me be more present and grounded with my daughter. This episode is a reminder that we don’t need to earn gentleness. We already deserve it. Kindness starts within, and when we begin to speak to ourselves with more grace, that grace naturally flows outward to our children. This is not about perfection, it’s about presence, about choosing compassion when things feel messy, and learning to offer ourselves the same love we so freely give to others.
