As we step into 2026, this episode is an invitation to slow down, take inventory, and reconnect with who you’re being, not just what you’re doing.

In this honest, real-life conversation, I  reflect on time, nervous system regulation, identity, and the power of small, intentional steps. Together, we explore how overcomplicating goals keeps us stuck, why presence matters more than perfection, and how to begin embodying the life you say you want without force or shame.

This episode is for anyone who feels tired, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode and is ready to move toward more presence, energy, and aliveness.

In this episode, we explore:

•Why time feels both fast and slow and how presence changes everything

•How to take an honest audit of your life

•What nervous system regulation actually means

•Why small steps matter more than big plans

•How morning intention shapes your entire day

•Releasing what no longer serves you as you enter a new season

•Embodiment over information, where real change happens

Season 3 of Watch Sunsets with Me begins here messy, real, and rooted in becoming.

Another replay of one my most favorite episodes. 

In this raw and unfiltered episode of Watch Sunsets with Me, I dive into the tender emotions of sending my kids back to school especially my daughter's last "first day" as a high school senior.

With tears, laughter, and pauses for real-life motherhood moments I open up about what it feels like to hold on, let go, and witness your children stepping into who they're becoming.

I explore the bittersweet ache of motherhood, the paradox of joy and grief that comes as our kids grow and how we, as moms, are called to expand, rediscover, and become alongside them.

This episode is for every mom navigating transitions: whether you're sending littles to preschool, teenagers to high school, or preparing to watch them spread their wings into adulthood. You'll be reminded that while motherhood can sting, it's also the most breathtaking, sacred gift.

We're in this together and motherhood, though messy, raw, and heart-wrenching, is the most magical journey of all.

 What if getting older didn't mean aches, pains, and limitations? What if it could instead be a journey of strength, vitality, movement, breath, and deep self-discovery?

On this week's episode of Watch Sunsets with Me. I share how I've rewritten my own story of aging, from depletion and pain to feeling more alive at 40 than I ever did in my 20s.

The story you tell yourself about aging becomes the story your body lives. If you tell yourself "getting older sucks," your body believes it. But when we nourish ourselves through movement, breathwork, food, and intentional care, aging can be beautiful, energizing, and full of life.

Movement builds strength and longevity. BreathWork clears stagnant energy and reconnects you to your body.

Nourishing food fuels your energy, vitality, and joy. And understanding your nervous system helps you show up fully alive, instead of stuck in survival mode.

Getting older doesn't have to be defeating. It's an invitation to rise into your strongest, most vibrant self, to move freely, and to fully enjoy life with your kids, your grandkids, and those you love.

 If you're ready to feel good in your body, embrace aging as a journey of aliveness, and start rewriting your story, this episode is for you.

Lately, I’ve been reflecting on how easy it is to drift away from the essence of who we are especially in a world full of algorithms, noise, and “shoulds.”

I realized how even something as helpful as AI can quietly start to drain our creativity and authenticity if we’re not careful.

I’m  not anti-AI,  it’s about awareness and alignment. Because AI can never replace your soul’s expression, or the divine creativity that flows through you.

This week’s episode of Watch Sunsets with Me is one of the most honest conversations I’ve had about creativity, AI, control, and coming back home to your essence.

In this episode, we explore:

• How perfectionism and control disconnect us from authenticity

• Why true creativity is a direct connection to God, the ultimate Creator

• How to recognize when something is draining vs. nourishing your soul

• The importance of returning to your roots, your body, and your essence

•Building safety in your nervous system to move forward, even when it feels scary

Whether you’re a mom, a creator, or a woman on a journey of rediscovering herself  this conversation will meet you right where you are and invite you back into the flow of who God made you to be.

Takeaways:

1.Take inventory: What’s nourishing you and what’s depleting you?

2.Where is God calling you to step out in faith, even if it feels scary?

3.Are you creating and living from your essence… or from expectation?

This episode is a reminder that you are not meant to live in a box. You are meant to feel, express, create, move, and live fully alive. 

You are loved. You matter.

You are worthy of feeling good in your body, your creativity, and your life again.

In this raw and unfiltered episode of Watch Sunsets with Me, I dive into the tender emotions of sending my kids back to school especially my daughter’s last “first day” as a high school senior.

With tears, laughter, and pauses for real-life motherhood moments (like my 3-year-old on my lap), I open up about what it feels like to hold on, let go, and witness your children stepping into who they’re becoming.

I explore the bittersweet ache of motherhood, the paradox of joy and grief that comes as our kids grow and how we, as moms, are called to expand, rediscover, and become alongside them.

This episode is for every mom navigating transitions: whether you’re sending littles to preschool, teenagers to high school, or preparing to watch them spread their wings into adulthood. You’ll be reminded that while motherhood can sting, it’s also the most breathtaking, sacred gift.

✨ Topics in this episode:

• The emotional weight of sending kids back to school, especially with a senior

• How motherhood constantly asks us to grow and expand with our kids

• The ache of letting go while holding deep gratitude for the memories made

• Why it’s okay to “lose yourself” in motherhood when it means rediscovering new parts of you

• Anchoring into presence, breath, and grace through seasons of transition

Whether you’re crying in the school drop-off line or savoring bedtime snuggles, this episode will remind you that you’re not alone. We’re in this together and motherhood, though messy, raw, and heart-wrenching, is the most magical journey of all.

💛 Share the love: If you know another mama walking through this season, share this episode with her. We need each other in this journey.

In this episode of Watch Sunsets with Me, I dive into one of the most foundational but often overlooked, elements of health and wellness: your breath. Most of us breathe in ways that keep our bodies stuck in stress, tension, and chronic fight-or-flight mode without even realizing it. This episode is all about understanding how your breath shapes your nervous system, your energy, your emotional regulation, and even how you move and feel in your body day to day.

We explore:

•How shallow or stressed breathing keeps your muscles tense, your mind on alert, and your body exhausted.

•Why symptom-chasing—supplements, workouts, or quick fixes, can’t truly work if your nervous system is signaling danger all day.

•Practical tools to notice your breath, soften tension, and bring regulation to your body, even in small micro-moments.

•Real-life examples of how shifting breathing patterns can transform postpartum fatigue, anxiety, and overall energy.

•Simple, actionable breath practices like diaphragmatic breathing, box breathing, and elongating the exhale to signal safety to your body.

By the end of this episode, you’ll understand why breathwork isn’t just a “nice-to-have” practice, it’s the foundation of feeling grounded, energized, and fully present in your life. Whether you’re a busy mom, a wellness seeker, or someone ready to reconnect with your body, this episode gives you the tools to start rewiring your nervous system and reclaiming your energy and joy.

Balanced Babes Consolation Call - Cori Taylor

Ever wonder why some days it feels impossible to show up for yourself? In this episode, I dive into the stories we tell ourselves and how they shape our identity, our choices, and our ability to step into the woman we want to become. I share three practical steps to help you:

1.Recognize your story – discover the narratives holding you back.

2.Look for evidence – celebrate small wins that prove you’re showing up.

3.Reframe failure – turn setbacks into feedback for growth.

These  aren’t about perfection, they’re about consistent, intentional steps that retrain your nervous system and build a foundation for lasting transformation.

Your nervous system remembers everything and these small, intentional steps can rewire it to support the life, health, and joy you’ve been craving. 🌸

💭 Reflection prompts included to help you uncover your current story, celebrate your wins, and step gently into the woman you’re becoming.

✨ Small steps + self-compassion = massive transformation.

You’re not failing, you’re becoming. Step into the woman who shows up.

You’ve probably heard the advice: Look in the mirror and say, “You’ve got this. You’re worthy. You’re amazing.” Just keep repeating it until you believe it.

But what happens when you don’t believe it?

When it feels fake, forced, or like your nervous system is rejecting every word?

In this week’s episode of Watch Sunsets with Me, I’m getting real about why affirmations sometimes don’t work  and how to make them actually land in your body and your life.

We’ll talk about:

•Why your nervous system resists certain affirmations

•The “Yes, and…” approach that makes affirmations more effective

•How to bridge the gap between where you are now and who you’re becoming

•The importance of pairing inner work with tangible, aligned action

•A personal story from my bodybuilding days and postpartum healing journey

•How food, movement, and nervous system healing all work together in your health and wellness journey

This isn’t about faking it until you make it. It’s about building trust with yourself, healing the beliefs under the surface, and taking small, doable steps toward the woman you’re becoming.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into something that may seem simple but is deeply foundational to how you feel in your body and in your day: breakfast.

In this episode, I share:

✨ Why your nervous system thrives on morning nourishment

✨ How skipping breakfast can lead to anxiety, reactivity, and fatigue

✨ Easy, nourishing breakfast ideas for busy moms (and their kids!)

✨ How breakfast supports emotional regulation, energy, and presence for your whole family
