On this episode of Wandering the Wild Mess, I’m diving into the incredible power of words and how they shape our reality.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in negative patterns or struggled to rewrite your inner narrative, this episode is for you. I’ll walk you through how I used affirmations and intentional language to turn my mindset around and create a more positive, hopeful life.

Have you ever heard a song and instantly been transported back to a moment in your life?

Maybe it's a road trip, a heartbreak, a season of healing, or a version of yourself you've long outgrown. Somehow, a few notes can bring back memories, emotions, and stories we haven't thought about in years.

In this episode, I'm exploring the powerful connection between music, memory, healing, and the stories we tell ourselves. From songs that instantly transport us back in time to lyrics that seem to arrive exactly when we need them, music has a way of helping us process what we're feeling before we even have the words for it.

But what if the songs we keep on repeat are doing more than reflecting our emotions? What if they're reinforcing the story we're living?

Because sometimes the right song doesn't just remind us who we were—it helps us become who we're meant to be.

In this episode of Wandering the Wild Mess, I revisit the heart of this podcast—letting go of what you thought life should look like and embracing the wild mess of it all. It’s a reminder that even when things don’t go as planned, they can still work out—just in a different, sometimes unexpected way. And that’s okay!

This episode is for anyone who’s felt pressured by expectations or struggled with the “shoulds” of life. I talk about finding peace in the mess, trusting that life always works out even when we can’t see how. I share how I’ve come to terms with my relationships with my mom and sister, realizing they may not be what I envisioned, but they’re still meaningful.

I also reflect on the guilt I felt leaving Utah, thinking I was breaking some unspoken Mormon rule about family loyalty. But I’ve learned that following my own path doesn’t mean loving my family any less.

This episode is here to remind you embrace the delusion and remember that you are enough just as you are, and your life is your own. "Can't get over it, can't go around it... Guess I'm going through it."

What if the breakthrough you’re looking for starts with you?

In this episode, we explore self-reflection, personal accountability, and the uncomfortable growth that comes from asking hard questions. Whether you’re navigating conflict, a breakup, or patterns you keep repeating, this conversation is about taking ownership without shame.

Growth doesn’t mean beating yourself up. It means becoming aware enough to choose differently.

This is your reminder to look at why you’re blaming others or outside circumstances, and instead seek to find if there is something inside you that’s longing to be seen. I know it takes courage to look in the mirror and address the root of your feelings, but doing so will allow us to take steps toward the life you deserve. And let’s be real, YOU deserve it!

In this episode of Wandering the Wild Mess, I share the heartfelt and slightly all-over-the-place story of my first post-divorce relationship. From a random encounter at a Knoxville bar to a weekend that took me to a place I wasn’t sure I was ready for.

What started with distance turned into Knoxville nights, lakeside mornings, and a whirlwind of emotions. I open up about what it was like to leap into love after a major life change and why it was anything but simple. I reflect on giving love and a relationship another shot, not knowing what I was truly in for and discovering more about what I still needed to heal. If you’ve ever navigated starting over and wondered, “What am I doing?” you’ll connect with this rollercoaster of heartache, hope, and lessons learned in the glow of a new beginning.

Gratitude isn’t just something you say when you wake up — it’s something you practice in the middle of an ordinary Tuesday.

In this episode, we explore how to stay present and grateful throughout the day, even when life feels busy, messy, or uncertain. From simple daily gratitude habits to finding joy in small moments, like buying yourself flowers at the grocery store,  this conversation is about shifting from chasing the next achievement to appreciating what’s already here.

If you’ve been stuck in comparison, goal-chasing, or trying to prove your worth through productivity, this episode is a reminder that gratitude can ground you in the life you’re already living.

Because sometimes the moment you’re in is the one you once prayed for.
