Hey, friend! 💕 It’s a new year, and today we’re diving into one of my favorite ways to set the tone for the year ahead—choosing a word and vibe for 2025. For me, this year is all about joy and laughter, and in this episode, I’m sharing why these words matter so much to me right now.

What’s the vibe you want to bring into 2025? What’s one thing you’re ready to leave behind from 2024? Let’s be intentional together and step into this year with clarity and purpose. And if you’re moving slowly into the new year, that’s totally fine—spring and new beginnings aren’t far off!

*During the masterclass I asked some extremely powerful journal prompts, that I would love for you to dig into. They are below...

1. What aspects of your life, career, or relationships are currently unsatisfying or unfulfilling?
 
2. How do you feel when you think about making changes in these areas? 

3. What is holding you back from pursuing what you truly desire?

4. What are the most important values in your life? 

5. How do these values align (or not align) with your current situation? 

6. What would your ideal life, career, or relationship look like if it fully reflected your values and priorities?

7. What specific changes or improvements would you like to make in your life, career, or relationships? 

8. How can you break down these goals into smaller, actionable steps?

200 EPISODES! Can you believe it?! Today, we’re celebrating a huge milestone for Start Scared, and I couldn’t be more excited to have YOU here with me.

In this special episode, I’m reflecting on the messy, beautiful, and sometimes awkward journey that got us here. From hitting record for the very first time to creating a space where moms like us can rediscover who we are beyond the chaos of mom life, this has been a labor of love—and a whole lot of bravery.

Tune in as I:
✨ Share what I’ve learned over 200 episodes of showing up scared.
✨ Celebrate YOU and your role in this journey.
✨ Encourage you to take those first messy steps toward your own dreams, no matter how scared you feel.

This episode is your reminder that you are worthy of taking up space, that progress matters more than perfection, and that showing up scared is better than not showing up at all.

Hey, hey, friend! The holidays are here, and while this season is supposed to be magical, let’s be real—it often feels more like a marathon of stress, overwhelm, and endless to-dos. Sound familiar? You’re not alone, mama!

In today’s episode, we’re diving into the motherload we carry as moms during the holidays and how we can shift the focus back to joy, connection, and—dare I say it?—a little bit of peace. I’ll share tactical strategies to lighten your load, set boundaries, and prioritize what truly matters. Plus, you’ll get my reminder that it’s okay (more than okay!) to take time for yourself.

You don’t have to do it all to make the holidays magical. Let’s release the pressure, ditch the guilt, and soak in the season for what it’s meant to be. You’ve got this, mama. 💖

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✨ How to delegate and let go of the “holiday perfection” myth
✨ Ways to reconnect with your “why” for the season
✨ Practical tips to reduce stress, from simplifying traditions to saying no
✨ The importance of carving out time for yourself (yes, YOU!)

Grab your coffee, your cocoa, or your wine, and let’s tackle this season with a little less stress and a lot more joy!
