I just dropped Episode 6 of The Big Exhale limited podcast, and I truly think it’s the most powerful one yet.

It brings together everything we’ve learned this week—and gives you the exact tools to turn your new beliefs into real, lasting change.

The Big Exhale is my free podcast series to help you let go of the pressure to be perfect, stop believing your inner critic, and finally take up space as the confident, powerful version of you who already exists underneath all the noise.

In Episode 6, we’re talking about how to create empowering thoughts and stories on purpose.

Not just for the sake of good vibes—but because your brain literally rewires itself around what you choose to believe.

Here’s just a taste of what you’ll learn today:

💡 3 go-to templates for rewriting the stories that keep you stuck
💡 Why projection (not reality) might be what’s hurting you most—and how to break free
💡 How to daydream like a damn boss and turn fantasy into fuel
💡 One question to instantly embody the future you who already has the thing
💡 And how to collect evidence that your new belief is already true

This is the final episode of the series—but the work doesn’t end here.

I’d love to hear from you: What was your biggest takeaway? What aha moment hit hardest? What questions are still coming up?

Hit reply or DM me on Instagram—I read every single one. 💌

And if you want to go deeper with this work, you’re so invited into the BREATHE membership or to explore 1:1 coaching. 

You’ve got this. Now go do epic shit.

BP of 150? That can’t be right.

I run ultra-marathons. I eat healthy. I know how to take care of my body. So when my doctor told me my blood pressure was dangerously high—high enough to require monitoring and possibly medication—I was shocked.

But here’s the thing: I was stressed. Really stressed. And I didn’t even realize it.

In this episode, I’m sharing the wake-up call that forced me to reassess my life and how I was unknowingly running myself into the ground. More importantly, I’m breaking down the sneaky ways stress impacts all of us—yes, even the healthiest, most high-achieving among us—and what you can do to protect yourself before it catches up with you.

Why This Matters:

Most of us are walking around thinking we’re “fine.” But the reality?
 ➡️ 66% of Americans have a chronic illness.
 ➡️ 3 out of 4 say stress has impacted their health in the past month.
 ➡️ Lack of social connection is literally making us sick.

The modern world is an absolute pressure cooker of stress, comparison, and overcommitment. And if you don’t take your well-being seriously, your body will find a way to make you listen.

What You’ll Learn:

✅ The sneaky ways stress shows up in your body (even if you think you’re handling it like a pro).
 ✅ How I figured out that my “normal” was actually wrecking my health.
 ✅ The crucial mindset shift that made all the difference in my recovery.
 ✅ Why I made the terrifying decision to pause an entire program launch.
✅ The coaching question that completely changed how I view my priorities.
✅ Simple but powerful daily habits to reset your nervous system and stop stress from running your life.
