April 02, 2026 E82 Midlife isn't a crisis. It's a portal
I'm so tired of people insisting that midlife is some kind of crisis. Midlife offers the opportunity of a lifetime-the opportunity to step fully into the woman you were meant to be.

March 26, 2026 E81 It's Time To Craft Your Crown
A wedding, baby shower, graduation, or 21st birthday should never be the last time a woman is surrounded by community, witnessed, and joyfully celebrated.
Society throws confetti for the young—but what if we threw just as much (or more) for the women who have actually lived long enough to become magnificent?
What if menopause, divorce, the empty nest, retirement, recovery from illness or even widowhood were honored with ceremony and ritual instead of hushed conversations and polite “you’re so brave” comments?
These aren’t endings. They’re awakenings. They deserve their own sacred pause, their own circle, their own crown.
Craft Your Crown™ is the rite of passage your soul has been quietly craving and I am so thrilled to be presenting it at Quest Santa Fe in juts 2 weeks.
Part grounding meditation, part guided reflection, part intuitive art-making, and part ceremony—this experience is created entirely around you.
If this is an experience that your soul is aching for, you can book me to come to your city ! Check out my website for more details

March 12, 2026 E80 Robo-Coaches vs Real Talk: Artificial Intelligence And Artificial Affirmation
Ai is everywhere and quickly taking over.
ChatGPT’s great for quick facts or recipe hacks, but as a replacement for a therapist or life coach? 👀
This week, I did a little experiment. I talked back and forth with Chat about a (completely fabricated) emotional problem.
Chat validated me up and down the wazoo, yessed me to pieces, told me I was 100% valid, totally in the right
Sure. Chat is always available, free and (annoyingly) perky but Chat is programmed to validate, affirm and agree with you.
Chat is a total people pleaser-keeping you engaged. On the hook. Dependent.
Chat just tells you what you want to hear.
Chat will not challenge you.
Chat will not call you on your BS
Chat will not provide an alternate point of view.
Chat can't guide you through life because chat has no LIVED EXPERIENCE.
If you don't actually want to be challenged, if all you're seeking is affirmation, then Chat is for you.
See you in a year. Your life will be exactly the same.
BUT if you want to break old patterns, shift your internal narrative and actually move forward?
Please for the love of God, hire a human.

March 05, 2026 E79 The Case Against Therapy
I've been in the mental health field for over 25 years and I have some bad news: traditional therapy doesn't really help. Talking about the same problems, retreading the same stories, isn't that effective. What does help ? Take a listen

February 18, 2026 E78: The Pause That Healed Me: Grief, Grace, and Celebrating Midlife Magic Again
After 77 episodes and a necessary (but longer than intended) pause, I'm returning with this soft relaunch episode. I open up about the real reason for my absence: processing the death of my father and giving myself the space to grieve.
Now, with a full heart and renewed fire, I'm moving forward—celebrating women in midlife through Craft Your Crown: a powerful invitation to heal old wounds, claim your gifts, and step into your most radiant, unapologetic self.
This is our season of reclamation. New episodes, guests, and magic ahead starting in March 2026. Thank you for your patience and love. Let's keep walking this portal together.

June 21, 2025 E74 And Now For Something Completely Different
On Mother's Day I led a healing ceremony for women who had walked the childless or childfree path by chance, choice or somewhere in between. I was really proud of what I managed to offer and blown away by the vulnerability and open hearts of the women who showed up.
This week, I am sharing the mediation that I led-it's for women in peri or post menopause to reconnect them to their creativity, their vitality and their sacred center.
