In this episode, I’m opening up about something that quietly eats away at so many of us, especially parents. I’m sharing the story of a time when I stayed in a job that looked perfect on the outside: great pay, meaningful work, stability. But inside? I was unraveling. The stress, the toxic environment, the pressure to keep it all together, it was affecting everything, including how I showed up for my daughter.

At the time, I thought I was doing the responsible thing. I told myself it was the safe option. But deep down, I knew I wasn’t okay. It wasn’t until a friend gently asked, “Is it really safe, or is it just a well-paid job?” that everything shifted.

I explore how we confuse financial security with emotional safety. And how true safety, I’ve come to learn, is being able to come home to yourself. To feel well. To be whole.

If you’re in a job that looks good on paper but feels wrong in your body, this episode is for you. You’re not weak for wanting peace. You’re not irresponsible for craving something different. Your children don’t need perfection. They need you.

In this episode, I invite you to slow down and sit with me in the stillness, the kind we often avoid but deeply need.

As a parent, I know how easy it is to keep moving… to scroll when I’m tired, to clean when I’m stressed, and to fill every quiet moment with something, anything. But I’ve learned that silence isn’t empty, it’s a doorway. A space where the emotions we’ve buried have room to rise and be heard.

I share a recent moment when I resisted the urge to fill the silence during a short drive, and how it helped me access a feeling I hadn’t fully processed. That one small pause softened me and allowed me to show up more present with my daughter later that day.

This episode isn’t about meditating perfectly or having an hour to yourself. It’s about finding just five minutes to be with yourself, no fixing, no scrolling, no distractions. Silence can feel loud, yes. But that’s often where healing begins.

Let this be your reminder: parenting doesn’t need perfection. It needs presence.

In this gentle and heartfelt episode, I invite you to slow down with me as we explore the circles of connection in our lives—and why they matter so deeply.

We’ll talk about the people we surround ourselves with, how our relationships impact our emotional wellbeing, and why mindful connection is essential to how we parent, love, and live. Through the lens of Buddhist philosophy and personal reflection, you’ll discover the importance of choosing your inner circle with intention and protecting your peace with compassion.

If you’ve ever felt drained after being with certain people, or questioned who truly supports your growth, this episode is for you. Let’s unpack the inner, middle, and outer circles—and how to navigate them with grace.

Your energy is sacred. Let’s protect it, together.

In this episode, we explore how the simple act of pausing can change everything in parenting. Inspired by the Bell of Mindfulness practice from Plum Village, we’ll reflect on how returning to the present moment — even after we've started to react — can repair connection and bring calm to our homes. I also share a real moment with my daughter that reminded me how powerful it is to pause, breathe, and begin again.

In this episode, we explore the idea that as parents, we often get stuck in a cycle of doing—managing, planning, and rushing—while unintentionally losing touch with simply being. Drawing on Buddhist philosophy, we'll reflect on how we sometimes create urgency where there is none, and how that habit can impact our children. I also share a small but powerful moment with my daughter that reminded me how presence can shift everything.

In this episode, we explore the Second Noble Truth in Buddhism: the idea that suffering often comes from attachment — especially our attachment to control, outcomes, and how we think parenting should go. Through personal reflection on everyday moments of tension, I share how this teaching can gently shift the way we show up for our children — and for ourselves.
