  • Episode 8 - Self Trust

    In this episode I'm exploring a topic of self trust, as it connects so deeply with making big decisions. “Self-trust is confidence in your own judgment, perceptions, and ability to handle what comes your way. It means relying on your inner sense of what's true, right, or good for you, even when others disagree or when there's no outside validation."

    I share a somatic practice that helps to connect with your own body and make a decision based on it's response.

    As always, if you need support navigating difficult decisions or relationships in your life, I'm offering 1:1 sessions. Reach out to me at [email protected]

  • Episode 3 - Parents Expectations

    In this episode, we explore one of the biggest influences on the decision about having children: our parents' opinions and expectations. You'll learn why their voice can feel so powerful, how to separate love from obligation, and how to create space to hear your own inner voice. If you've ever felt guilty, pressured, or torn between your parents' hopes and your own path, this episode is for you.

  • Episode 1 - Introduction and My Story

    In the very first episode of The Winding Road, I share my personal journey of questioning whether I wanted to have children and how searching for the "right" answer led me back to my own voice. This podcast isn't about convincing you to choose one path over another—it's about helping you find clarity, align with what truly matters to you, and navigate one of life's biggest decisions with honesty and self-compassion.

  • Episode 2 - Finding Your Own Voice in the Noise

    Last episode we talked about creating space instead of rushing toward an answer. Today we're taking the next step. Before you can answer whether you want children, you have to know whose voice you're listening to.

    If you stripped away everyone's opinions for just a moment... what would be left?

    I'm giving a guided meditation on separating your own voice from other people's stories and opinions.
