  • Episode 26: The Art of Showing Up: Focus, Flow & Freedom for Busy Moms

    Being a busy, multi-passionate mom can sometimes feel like spinning plates—working, raising kids, and chasing dreams all at once. In this episode of Whole Mom, I'm letting you get a look behind the scenes to see how I’ve learned to show up fully without burning out.

    We dive into:
    - Time-blocking & planning systems that actually work
    - Anchors & alarms to protect your focus
    - Asking for help and letting go of the “do-it-all” myth
    - Rhythms, rituals, and self-love practices that stick
    - Supporting your body & mind with dopamine, cortisol, and small wins

    This episode is all about creating structure without losing your joy, building presence, and giving yourself permission to focus on what really matters to YOU.

  • Episode 25: Hot Take - Clearing Space - Mind, Body & Soul with Saucha

    Hot take: we’re holding on to way too much — in our minds, our bodies, and our souls — and it’s draining us.

    In this episode, I share how the yoga principle of saucha (cleanliness + clarity) can guide us to clear space so we can breathe easier, feel a little lighter, and actually enjoy the moments that matter. Let’s release what no longer serves us and make more room for connection, joy, and love.

  • Episode 22: Heartbreak to Hope with Monique Forcier

    On this memorable episode of Whole Mom, I sat down with the beautiful soul, Monique Forcier. Monique is a spiritual entrepreneur, grandmother, and woman who has walked through heartbreak and found her way back to joy.

    When her 27-year marriage ended in betrayal during the pandemic, her whole world unraveled. But instead of staying stuck in the pain, she leaned into her spiritual practices, therapy, and deep inner work. Now, she helps other women move from heartbreak to hope—just as she did.

    In our conversation, Monique shares:
    ✨ The practices that anchored her during her healing
    ✨ How joy has shifted for her in this season of life
    ✨ The gift of motherhood in her journey back to herself
    ✨ Why she will always bet on herself, no matter what

    Monique’s story is a reminder that even in our hardest seasons, we can reconnect to our strength, our light, and the simple joys in life.

  • Episode 21: Climbing Our Inner Mountains with Julie Zaruba Fountaine & Rachel Gilbertson

    In this empowering episode of Whole Mom, I sit down with Julie Zaruba Fountaine and Rachel Gilbertson to explore Mountain 10 — a transformative process that weaves together intention-setting, labyrinth walking, and deep reflection to guide us through life’s challenges.

    We talk about how they discovered this work, the power of intentional spaces to grow and connect, and the ways Mountain 10 helps us navigate fear, find clarity, and reconnect with our truth and desires. I also share what a recent retreat with Rachel sparked in me, and how these moments of stillness and intention can ripple into our everyday lives.

    If you’re feeling ready for a change or transition or in the middle of one right now, this conversation will inspire you to pause, breathe, and take your next step with courage and heart.

  • Episode 19: Let it Be Easy - Peace over Perfect

    What if we stopped trying to "get it right"—and started allowing life to be easy?
    In this personal episode, we explore what it means to release the need for perfection and instead choose peace.

    I share a moment where I found myself at a crossroads—proud of my growth but still feeling the weight of doing it all. I was reminded: we don't need to hustle to become. We need to trust the process.

    This episode is for the moms, the women, the hearts who are tired of fixing, pushing, or performing. It’s an invitation to soften. A love letter to rest.

    We’ll talk about:
    🌿 How stillness and silence can be sacred
    🌿 Why softness is strength
    🌿 How ease doesn't mean lazy—it means aligned
    🌿 What it looks like to live for peace, not perfection


    If you’re ready to come back home to yourself, this one’s for you.
