    Send us a text

    This solo episode is your permission slip to prioritize yourself this holiday season. 🌟 I’m talking about setting time limits, managing expectations, and learning how to confidently say no without guilt. Growing up as a people pleaser, I know firsthand how easy it is to lose yourself in everyone else’s plans.

    From creating your own traditions to protecting your energy with love, I’m sharing all the tips that have transformed my holidays into a season of joy instead of exhaustion. And of course, we’re diving into the power of affirmations to ground yourself when things feel overwhelming.

    ✨ Affirmations to carry with you:

    • My energy is sacred, and I protect it with love.
    • It’s okay to leave, to rest, and to say no.
    • Boundaries are a form of self-respect, and I am worthy of that respect.

    Listen to learn how to make this holiday season magical—for you. 🎄✨

  • It’s Not Them, It’s You | Unlearning Codependency

    Send us a text

    Codependency isn’t just about being a people-pleaser—it’s about losing yourself in someone else’s needs, emotions, and problems. In this solo episode, I’m breaking down how codependency showed up in my life and the powerful steps I’ve taken to unlearn it, reclaim my happiness, and fill my own cup first.

    We’ll dive into:

    • The emotional burnout of always giving to others before yourself
    • Why detaching with love is the ultimate act of self-respect
    • How to reconnect with you and stop seeking external validation
    • Practical steps to set boundaries, rediscover yourself, and reclaim control

    I’m also sharing tools to help you reflect and grow, including journal prompts like:

    • How did I show up for myself today?
    • What boundaries did I honor this week? What boundaries did I not honor?
    • How can I improve while staying compassionate with myself?

    Plus, we’ll end with affirmations to help you come back to you:

    • I am whole, complete, and responsible for my own joy. My life belongs to me.

    If you’ve ever struggled with boundaries, burnout, or feeling like you’re running on fumes—this one’s for you. Let’s learn to be whole, complete, and responsible for our own happiness.

  • Where Pain Meets Purpose: Kathleen Nilsen on Grief, Chaplaincy, and Holding Space for Healing

    Send us a text

    In today’s episode, I’m joined by Kathleen Nilsen—a woman who’s taught me so much about strength and softness. Kathleen has walked through some of life’s deepest heartbreaks, losing her dad just as she became a mom herself. As a chaplain, she’s turned that pain into a calling, guiding others through their own grief and teaching us what it really means to hold space in the moments that feel impossible to navigate.

    We dive into the reality of loss and how to keep someone’s legacy alive, even when it feels like the world is moving on. Kathleen reminds us that grief isn’t something to “get over” but something to honor, and that the beauty of loss can only be found when we allow ourselves to fully feel it. If you’ve ever lost someone or if you just want to understand what it means to truly be there for others in their hardest times, this one’s for you. Listen now at the link in my bio.

  • coming home to yourself :')

    Send us a text

    This episode is all about coming home to yourself—the real, sometimes messy, always evolving journey of self-love. It’s about building a place of peace and belonging within, instead of looking for someone else to complete you. I’m sharing my story of unlearning people-pleasing, breaking out of old cycles, and realizing that loving yourself isn’t a one-and-done thing.

    We’re talking reclaiming your worth, setting real boundaries, and creating a safe space in your own mind. Plus, I’m spilling on my favorite solo ritual: singing love songs to myself—because honestly, who deserves it more?

    If you’re on the path to becoming your own home, this one’s for you.

  • Sitting with the Demon: Noah’s Raw Journey Through OCD

    Send us a text

    Welcome back to Vulnerability is Cool! This episode hits close to home—because we’re talking about something that’s shaped a lot of my life: OCD. My friend Noah is joining me today, and honestly, this is one of the rawest, most important conversations I’ve had.

    Noah has been living with OCD since he was just 10 years old, and his story is intense. From moral OCD to relationship OCD and everything in between, Noah opens up about how it’s impacted every part of his life—even leading him to some really dark places. And still, he’s here. He’s thriving in the midst of it all, even smashing it in summer sales (which, if you’ve ever done, you know is no joke).

    What I love about this episode is how real it gets. Noah and I both know how OCD isn’t just some cute little quirk—it’s a beast that can take over your thoughts and your life. But we also talk about what it’s like to keep going, to sit with those dark moments, and somehow still find your way through.

    This conversation is about giving OCD a voice, breaking down the misconceptions, and sharing what it’s like when your mind becomes your biggest challenge—but also your greatest teacher.

    Send us a text

    Welcome back to Vulnerability is Cool! This episode gets real, raw, and unfiltered as we dive into the world of porn, shame, and healing with Hunter and Sarah Clark. Hunter opens up about his journey with pornography, how he brought his wife, Sarah, into the conversation, and how he’s turned his past struggles into a mission to help others find freedom and self-acceptance.

    Sarah joins with her refreshingly honest take on how this journey has reshaped her own self-worth, body image, and what partnership really means. Healing doesn’t just belong to the person fighting the addiction—it’s for both partners. We unpack the power of openness, why shame’s got to go, and how breaking out of old patterns has taken their relationship to places they never expected. Get ready for insights, raw vulnerability, and a look at how facing our toughest conversations can actually bring us closer to who we really are—and each other.

  • Breaking Unconscious Patterns | Christian Snuffer on Healing the Mind

    Send us a text

    Welcome back to Vulnerability is Cool! Today, I’m joined by Christian Snuffer, therapist and founder of Attunement Psychotherapy & Psychedelic Healing, where he’s doing some next-level work blending therapy, psychedelics, and group healing. We dig deep into why reconnecting with your body is crucial, and how making the unconscious conscious is where real transformation happens. Christian talks about why group healing spaces are so important for breakthroughs—you get to show up as your true self, with no preconceived notions from others. We also dive into attachment styles, how they shape relationships, and the deep healing that happens when you learn to give and receive love. One of the most powerful takeaways from this convo? Healing doesn’t complete until you bring it back to community. We also touch on spiritual growth and the balance between personal therapy and group work—because, as Christian puts it, insight without implementation won’t change your life. This episode is packed with insights, real talk, and the kind of wisdom that’ll leave you thinking long after it’s over. Trust me, you’ll want to soak this one in!

This isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about real, lasting change that helps you finally feel in tune with yourself.
