What will you remember when it’s all said and done?

In this second episode of the Legacy Series, recorded under the warm Tuscan sun, I share something very vulnerable: how even on a beautiful family vacation, I found myself exhausted, overwhelmed, and wondering why joy still felt out of reach.

As a mother in midlife, I often feel like I’m supposed to have it all figured out, but the truth is, sometimes I still hit my limits. I still needed my husband to hold me and ask, What do you need to make tomorrow a better day?

That question changed everything. It reminded me that what truly matters isn’t the hustle or the future we keep waiting for: it’s this moment. The love we give and receive. The faces we hope to see before our inner eye when it is our time to leave this world.

Reflection prompt:

If you were looking back on your life today, what would you want to remember most?

Who are your forever people?

We’ll talk about:

Feeling burned out, even in beautiful places

The healing power of being seen and supported

Why your life is happening now, not in some distant future

How to become your own great love story by caring for yourself and those you love intentionally

This episode is for every mother who’s ever felt like she cannot do anything right. You are not alone. Let this be your invitation to slow down, breathe, and remember what’s real.

Think of this podcast as your little life doula, holding space for your heart and gently reminding you that love, rest, and connection are the truest forms of success.
