In this deeply personal episode, I share my heart with you after an emotional release—a moment of raw vulnerability, self-forgiveness, and acceptance. Life can feel heavy, chaotic, and even overwhelming at times, but in those moments, hope and faith become our guiding lights. I talk about the power of letting go, embracing imperfection, and allowing ourselves to feel without shame.

We explore:

🌟 The importance of crying and emotional release as a form of healing

🌟 Letting go of guilt, shame, and self-judgment in parenting and life

🌟 Understanding that difficult moments aren’t just happening to us but also for us

🌟 The difference between hope and faith—and how they help us move forward

🌟 Embodying the future version of yourself today, despite setbacks and delays

🌟 Overcoming fear, self-imposed expectations, and the pressure to always be ‘on’

🌟 The unconditional love and grace of God in the midst of struggle

Key Takeaways:

🌟 Crying is healing. It’s not weakness—it’s a release of the energy we hold inside.

🌟 You are not alone. Whatever you’re feeling—guilt, fear, overwhelm—is valid and part of being human.

🌟 It’s okay to rest. You don’t have to keep pushing through. Taking a step back doesn’t mean you’re failing.

🌟 Hope is the tiny glimmer in the dark. Even when life feels impossible, that small speck of light means there’s still a way forward.

🌟 Faith is what makes the light grow. Trusting in something greater than ourselves helps us move through difficult times.

🌟 Your past does not define you. Who you choose to be right now is what shapes your future.

🌟 God loves you as you are. No conditions, no expectations—just pure, unwavering love.

Suggested Next Steps for You:

✨ Give yourself permission to feel. If you’ve been holding in emotions, find a safe space to release them.

✨ Take one small step. If life feels overwhelming, focus on just the next tiny move instead of the entire mountain.

✨ Remember that you are worthy. Not because of what you accomplish, but simply because you exist.

✨ Find hope in your own way. Look for the small, bright moments—no matter how faint they seem.

In this episode, I share a spontaneous moment of reflection while sitting in my car—pondering the constant pressure to be “doing” and what it truly means to create space for ourselves. I explore the balance between action and stillness, the joy of coding with AI, the vision behind my multipassionate solopreneur dashboard, and my ongoing relationship with resistance in business. This episode is a reminder that sometimes, the most productive thing we can do is simply be present in the moment.

Key Takeaways:

🌟 Pausing is Powerful – We don’t always need to be in a state of action; sometimes, stillness creates space for creativity and clarity.

🌟 Creativity Over Productivity – Documenting, vlogging, and podcasting can be as valuable as “doing” something tangible.

🌟 The Joy of Coding Returns – Using AI to assist in coding has rekindled my passion for tech and opened new project ideas.

🌟 Identity-Based Productivity – My multipassionate solopreneur dashboard integrates who you want to be with the tasks that align with that identity.

🌟 Overcoming Resistance – Shifting from self-preservation to a service mindset can dissolve mental blocks and make showing up feel more natural.

🌟 AI as a Tool, Not a Replacement – AI enhances human creativity but can’t replace authentic human connection and intention.

Suggested Next Steps:

💭 Take a moment to pause and reflect—what would you create if you allowed yourself more space?

🛠️ Explore ways to integrate identity-based goal-setting in your own workflow.

🚀 If you’ve been holding back on an offer, ask yourself: How can I shift my perspective from self-preservation to service?

In this episode, I reflect on abundance, freedom, and the deep realization that life is a gift given to us for us. So often, we tie abundance to financial success or external validation, but what if true abundance is found in appreciating what we already have? What if the path to joy and fulfillment is simply about being present, choosing what feels good in the moment, and recognizing that our lives are ours to live—not for others, but for ourselves?

I share my thoughts on climbing the metaphorical staircase of life one step at a time, the power of shifting our energy around daily tasks (like paying bills), and the importance of reclaiming our autonomy, even within marriage and parenthood. Most importantly, I explore the idea that the more we love our own lives, the more we have to give to others.

Key Takeaways:

🌟 Abundance is not just about money—it’s about appreciating where you are, what you have, and who you’re with.

🌟 The best way to move forward is one small step at a time, honoring your own pace.

🌟 Your life is a gift from God for you—not for your spouse, children, or society, but for you first.

🌟 Releasing the pressure of external expectations allows for greater joy, creativity, and peace.

🌟 Shifting your energy around everyday actions (like paying bills) can transform how you experience life.

🌟 The more you love your life, the more you naturally have to give to those around you.

Suggested Next Steps:

✨ Take a moment to appreciate what you already have—list five things that bring you joy right now.

✨ Shift your perspective on one “obligation” today—can you reframe it as something neutral or even positive?

✨ Reflect on how you’re living—are you making choices for you, or for others? How can you bring more of your desires into your daily life?

In this episode, I share an unfiltered and honest reflection on where I’m at—navigating the demands of motherhood, handling external expectations, and reminding myself (and you) that we are enough exactly as we are. I talk about learning to work in sprints instead of marathons, the importance of boundaries, and how parenting looks different for everyone. There’s power in choosing what feels right for you, honoring your emotions, and allowing yourself to dream of more.

I also touch on the beauty of resetting and realigning, embracing both gratitude and growth, and believing that everything we desire is already on its way to us. This episode is your permission slip to trust yourself, set boundaries, and hold space for the version of you that is still learning, growing, and thriving in your own way.

Key Takeaways:

🌟 Sprints vs. Marathons: Understanding that working in sprints helps maintain momentum, while long-haul efforts can feel draining.

🌟 Parenting on Your Own Terms: There’s no “right” way—do what feels best for you and your kids.

🌟 External Expectations vs. Inner Knowing: We can’t control others’ expectations, but we can choose how we respond.

🌟 The Power of Boundaries: You’re allowed to step away from conversations or situations that drain you.

🌟 Embracing the Reset: Life is full of opportunities to realign, refresh, and move forward with clarity.

🌟 Manifesting and Holding Space for More: You are worthy of the dreams you hold in your heart.

Suggested Next Steps:

✨ Reflect on how you best work—are you more of a sprinter or a marathoner? Adjust accordingly.

✨ Set (or reinforce) a boundary with someone whose expectations feel overwhelming.

✨ Take a moment to express gratitude for where you are now while allowing yourself to desire more.

✨ Give yourself permission to rest, reset, and realign as often as needed.

In this deeply introspective episode, I share my realizations about sleep, self-care, and the ever-evolving journey of motherhood and career. I reflect on the vast difference in my energy and presence when I get proper rest and how, despite the demands of this phase of life, I’m learning to honor where I am instead of forcing things to move faster.

I also dive into what it means to embrace the process, let go of repeating cycles, and recognize that our feelings—while valid—do not always define the truth of a situation. This episode is a reminder to trust that our desires are already on their way to us and that letting go is sometimes the biggest lesson in moving forward.

Key Takeaways:

🌟 Sleep truly impacts everything—no amount of coffee can replace deep rest.

🌟 Honoring this phase of life means embracing both career ambitions and the privilege of motherhood.

🌟 Letting go of past patterns and people is about acceptance, not resistance.

🌟 Our feelings are valid, but they don’t always reflect the truth—we are more than our emotions.

🌟 Life isn’t meant to be suffered through; it’s meant to be enjoyed.

Suggested Next Steps:

🔹 Reflect on what phase of life you’re in and how you can honor it rather than resist it.

🔹 Give yourself permission to embrace rest without guilt.

🔹 Notice where you might be holding onto old patterns and consider what it would mean to let go.

🔹 Open yourself up to receiving what you desire—it’s already yours.

Thank you for being here. I hope this episode gives you something to carry with you in your journey. See you next time!

In this episode, I reflect on my 48-hour project experiment—what I learned, what I didn’t complete, and why that’s perfectly okay. I dive into a deeper exploration of my mindset around money, creativity, and abundance, questioning long-held beliefs about what it means to earn through creative work. Why do we limit ourselves with the idea that making money has to be hard? What if we could align with what we love and still receive financial abundance?

Through this conversation, I challenge the traditional notion of “working hard” and explore how true passion often makes effort feel like play. I also touch on the concept of money as energy and the value we assign to our own talents. If we shift our perspective, could we unlock more opportunities and financial flow?

Join me in this raw, unfiltered reflection—because these thoughts are worth pondering.

🌟 Key Takeaways:

• It’s okay if plans don’t go exactly as expected. The process itself is valuable.

• Many of us struggle with selling because we stay in the “planning” stage.

• Questioning our money mindset is important: Do our beliefs support abundance or limit us?

• The idea of the “starving artist” is just that—an idea. Many creatives thrive financially.

• Money is subjective. What one person deems valuable, another might not—so we must align with the right audience.

• Working hard isn’t about force—it’s a byproduct of loving what we do.

• It’s worth asking: What if making money could be easy and aligned with joy?

🔥 Suggested Next Steps:

• Reflect on your own beliefs about money and creativity. Are they serving you?

• Experiment with creating and selling something without over-planning.

• Try shifting your mindset: What if wealth and creativity could coexist effortlessly?

Thank you for being here. Let’s keep the conversation going!

In this episode, I give an update on my 48-Hour All-In Challenge, sharing my progress, mindset shifts, and how I’m approaching cold pitching as a digital business manager. I talk about the importance of rejection, how I’m tracking my pitches, and the templates I’ve built to make the process smoother. I also reflect on failure, resilience, and how this project is helping me focus while still making space for life and family.

I share insights from DBM BootCamp, including tips on making pitches more human and effective. Plus, I discuss the digital products I’m considering selling based on these systems and my excitement (and nerves) about launching them!

Key Takeaways:

🌟 Rejection is part of success – The more I put myself out there, the better I get at handling it.

🌟 Cold pitching can be personal – I’m making sure my pitches are human, relevant, and relationship-focused.

🌟 Tracking progress helps motivation – Having a pitch tracker lets me see my efforts and stay consistent.

🌟 Templates make work easier – I’ve built a system to streamline my pitching, and it might become a future product!

🌟 Balancing focus with flexibility – While I’m committed to my 48-hour challenge, I also allow myself space for life and family.

🌟 Success isn’t just about results – My goal is to complete the tasks and enjoy the process, not just hit a specific outcome.

Suggested Next Steps:

✅ If you’re struggling with pitching, start by tracking your outreach and focusing on building connections, not just selling.

✅ Consider rejection as a measure of effort, not failure—keep going!

✅ Try setting a focused time challenge for your projects to see how much you can accomplish.

✅ If you’re interested in my pitch tracker or templates, stay tuned—I might launch them soon!

In this episode, I dive into the excitement (and slight apprehension) of returning to podcasting, inspired by my latest project—the 48-Hour All-In challenge. This episode is an exploration of showing up imperfectly, embracing the creative process, and learning to receive.

I reflect on:

🌟 The impact of Michelle Rohr’s Piece of Cake podcast course and the power of creating from desire

🌟 The importance of resonance between creators and receivers in personal development

🌟 My ongoing journey with receiving—whether from mentors, content, or even my own husband

🌟 The balance between independence and allowing support from others

🌟 My vision for my business as a digital business manager and multi-passionate life coach—centering human connection over transactions

I may be rambling, but I love the rawness of this conversation. If you’re in a place where you’re figuring things out as you go, this one’s for you.

Can’t wait to update you on my progress with this challenge and all the exciting things ahead! Stay tuned.
