  • 14. Transition through the tough stuff

    I've always hated the word pivot. It felt so jagged and jarring. Unforgiving and quick. I heard the word transition today, and it resonated with me. It felt softer. It honored where I had been AND where I am going. In this episode I walk you through how I am transitioning in this time of crisis in my life. I share the truth that this is really hard, but it is not impossible. We will get through this time of transition, no matter what that might look like for you, together. I'm rooting for you.

  • 13. This is so hard... grieving

    This year has been so tough. In the last week of September 2020, Disney Parks announced the layoff of 28K cast members. To say there is hurt in the world right now is an understatement, as so many are unemployed, hurting, and losing things they have looked forward to and dreamed of. 

    How do you wade through the hardest waters when you can't swim anymore? How do you keep going? 

    I don't have all the answers... but this is what I can give you right now... honest vulnerability, and love. It's okay to cry. It's okay to be angry. It's okay to grieve. It's okay to be scared. We will get through this together. You are loved beyond measure. You are already enough.

  • 12. Moving Your Body Moves Your Soul

    I really don't like the words "working out". It has such an icky negative tone that comes along with it. But you know what I do love? Dancing. Kickboxing. Weightlifting. Yoga.... sometimes. In this episode, I will walk you through how moving your body by doing what you love to do, can not only improve your body, but can move your soul. If you're feeling physically stuck, this is the episode for you.

  • 11. Toxic Positivity

    We hear all the time to cut out toxic negativity. But what about the times when peoples constant positive reinforcement brings on shame? Shame of not being as proactive as we should be. Shame of not getting as much done as you had planned. This episode focuses on how to see past toxic positivity, and how to do what's right for you.

  • 9. Cancel Culture

    This is an episode I'm so passionate about. Cancel culture is a dark force in our world right now.  Instead of grace, kindness and forgiveness, cancel culture leaves no room for education and growth. What this world needs, instead of an automatic cancel, is grace for those who do mess up, and a chance to learn and to grow.

  • 7. Anger.... yep we're going there

    Yep. We're diving into the deep dark waters of anger. Nobody likes being angry... okay maybe some people do, but I'm not one of them. It's taken me a long long time to realize that anger was only ever hurting me, not the people I was angry with. I'm going to walk you through one of the most infuriating situations of my life. I'm going to be honest... painfully honest... about how hard it was to let go. 

    You have a seat at my table, So let's have the hard conversations.

  • 6. Self Care vs. Selfishness

    This is an episode that I needed to hear myself. It's so easy to fall into the trap of feeling like you have to take care of every single other person before you take care of yourself. We exhaust all of our energy and patience giving to others, that by the time we try to take care of ourselves, we are completely empty. It's time we realize just how important self care is. This episode is the start!

  • 5. Give Yourself Room To Chill

    Anyone else struggle with giving themselves permission to do nothing sometimes? Yeah, me too. 

    I've lived my life in a constant state of "if I'm not busy and working then I'm lazy".  I lived in this lie for more years than  I'm proud to admit. I'm ready to finally face the fact that it is a lie. Taking time to relax and chill does NOT make me lazy.  Same for you. 

    Join me as I disprove this lie, and step into some serious relaxation mode.
