Wrong Number

What do gold spray-painted rocks, lottery tickets, and a gas station in small-town Idaho have in common?

One of my most unforgettable childhood memories.

In this episode, I'm taking you back to the late 90s in Malad, Idaho, where my mom came up with an unusual idea that had my siblings and me approaching complete strangers to sell something we called "Lotto Rocks."

What seemed like just another childhood adventure has taken on a different meaning almost 30 years later.

I'm sharing how this experience shaped parts of who I am today, the creativity I can appreciate in my mom, and how becoming a parent has changed the way I see certain childhood memories.

Because sometimes the moments that stay with us aren't the big, life-changing events. They're the ordinary afternoons we had no idea we'd still be thinking about decades later.

And sometimes, all it takes is a little gold spray paint and a handful of rocks.

This summer, I unexpectedly fell in love with gardening, and somewhere between watering dirt, cutting back tomato plants, and watching things grow, I started seeing a lot of my own life reflected back at me.

In this episode, I’m sharing a recent experience in my career that didn’t end the way I hoped it would, and what it taught me about failure, vulnerability, and having the courage to raise your hand for something bigger.

Because before failure, there was hope. And maybe being brave isn’t believing everything is going to work out. Maybe it’s knowing that it might not… and believing something is still worth planting anyway.

This one is for anyone who has ever believed in something, put themselves out there, and had to figure out what comes next when it didn’t grow the way they hoped.

Adult friendships have been on my mind a lot lately. I have good friends and people I genuinely love, but I’ve still found myself wondering why I sometimes feel lonely or like I’m searching for a deeper sense of community.

In this episode of the Wrong Number, I’m looking back at how my friendships have changed through relationships, breakups, career changes, family shifts, and different versions of myself. I’m also sharing what I’m learning about letting people in, being known, and why telling a little more of our stories might open doors to connections we didn’t even know were there.

If you’ve ever had friends and still wondered where your people are, this one is for you.

What happens when you realize some of the beliefs and relationships you carried into adulthood were never really yours to begin with?

After losing my grandpa, I found myself facing the regret of a relationship I can no longer change and questioning family dynamics I accepted as a child without ever thinking to question them.

But somewhere in the middle of that loss, an unexpected door opened.

In this episode, I’m sharing how losing my grandpa led me back to my Aunt Kathy, the years we lost, and what I’m learning about giving myself permission to decide who I love, who I have a relationship with, and what I choose to believe.

A few months after my wedding, I still haven’t shared the photos… and I’ve been trying to understand why.

In this episode of Wrong Number, I’m talking about the complicated emotions that can exist alongside some of life’s happiest moments, grieving relationships that are still very much alive, and learning that wishing something were different doesn’t mean you wish you made a different decision.

Sometimes there’s an empty chair in our story. Maybe healing isn’t about pretending it isn’t there but learning not to let it become the entire room.

What started as just another Saturday changed with one unexpected phone call.

In the first official episode of Wrong Number, I’m sharing a story I never imagined I’d be telling and the perspective it’s given me on fear, gratitude, motherhood, and the ordinary moments we so easily take for granted.

Sometimes life changes in an instant. And sometimes, it simply changes the way we pay attention.

Welcome to Wrong Number!

In this short introduction, I'm sharing what this podcast is all about, why I decided to start it, and what you can expect from the conversations ahead.

We'll talk about life, relationships, business, motherhood, personal growth, and all the unexpected detours in between. Think of this as the beginning of a conversation I hope we'll keep having together.

Thanks for calling. I'm glad you're here.
