This episode is an intimate look into what happens when empathic, intuitive leaders come together to get radically honest about what they want—and what no longer fits.

Recorded during Day 2 of the Yes to Me Journey, you’ll hear real participants share real stories of navigating energetic misalignment, people-pleasing, ADHD paralysis, and the quiet ache of outgrowing roles, relationships, and routines that no longer serve them.

Inside this episode, we explore:

Why alignment matters more than strategy—and what happens when your values and your actions don’t match

The emotional toll of friendships that no longer fit—and the deep permission to let go

How to reclaim your agency in healthcare, business, or family dynamics by honoring your energy

What to do when you’re overwhelmed by ideas but limited by capacity

How to create progress through “little yeses”—like 7 minutes of writing, a 5-minute creative reset, or a tiny act of self-trust

You’ll also hear live coaching moments with participants as they move through fear, uncover truth, and access wisdom in the mind, heart, and gut—building the foundation for powerful, sustainable leadership. Huge thanks to Jill, Stephanie, Bavani, Kendra, and Karen for allowing me to share their comments, questions and/or laser coaching. 

This episode isn’t just inspiration. It’s a mirror. A mirror that gently says:
You’re not behind. You’re becoming.

What would happen if you gave yourself permission to want what you really want?

In this episode, I’m sharing Day 1 of my signature experience, the Yes to Me Journey—a four-day guided process that helps intuitive, high-achieving women come home to themselves. If you've been feeling the nudge to shift something but you're not even sure what you want anymore...this is for you.

You'll hear the exact process I guide women through to get clear on what matters most now. We’re talking vision, alignment, energy, and your deeper “why”—the one that fuels everything.

This session is playful, practical, and spacious. There’s an exercise inside called “Wouldn’t It Be Fun If…” that gets your imagination flowing and helps you reconnect with possibility (instead of performance).

Whether you're at a career crossroads, approaching empty nest, or just ready for more joy and clarity, this episode will help you start uncovering the real you underneath the roles and responsibilities.

And if you love this taste of the Yes to Me Journey, the full audio experience is available now—so you can start your journey at any time.

What the Yes to Me Journey is and why it’s so powerful

Why getting clear on your “why” changes everything

How high achievers accidentally block their own clarity

A simple journaling exercise to reconnect to joy and vision

The surprising truth about seriousness in the personal development space

What to do when you feel stuck or unsure about what you want

What happens when you stop performing and start expressing your full self? In this inspiring episode, I’m joined by embodiment coach and burlesque artist Eva D'Luscious for a conversation about joy, visibility, and reclaiming your radiance—on stage and in life.

We explore how to know if you're dressing for your own joy or someone else's approval, what embodied boundaries actually feel like, and how community plays a crucial role in healing.

Whether you’re feeling stuck in “good girl” habits, craving more expression, or wondering how to trust your body again, this episode is for you.

In this episode of Your Yes Filled Life, I’m inviting you into a powerful mid-year reflection process that changed everything for me—and it’s something you can do in under two hours.

We’re flipping the script on goal-setting by celebrating your effort first. Because when you track what you’ve actually done—without the emotional charge of “is it enough?”—you get clarity. You find the patterns. You reconnect with what really matters.

You’ll hear how I:

Review my past six months using data and intuition

Track what’s fueling results instead of obsessing over outcomes

Realigned my goals around energy, revenue, and connection

Shifted from “do more” to “do what works”

This isn’t about hustle. It’s about insight. About seeing your brilliance clearly, celebrating what’s working, and making tiny shifts that change everything.

By the end of this episode, you’ll be ready to create aligned action that feels joyful, sustainable, and true to you.

What if loneliness didn’t mean something was wrong—but was actually an invitation to deeper connection?

In this two-part podcast collaboration, I sit down with Megan Waldrep, host of Partners of Commercial Fishermen, to have a raw, real, and uplifting conversation about the many forms of loneliness—what causes it, how it sneaks up on us, and how to move through it with grace and self-leadership.

Whether you're single, partnered, parenting, or building a business… you’ve likely faced moments of loneliness. And in this episode, we’re not here to fix it—we’re here to normalize it and offer you practices to shift into fulfillment, even when you're physically alone.

Inside Part 1:

The surprising ways loneliness shows up in high-achieving women

How we each recognized and navigated our own waves of loneliness

Tangible practices that helped us reconnect to ourselves and others

The truth about emotional Band-Aids (and what actually works instead)

Why feeling your feelings fully is the fastest path to healing

This conversation is an invitation to soften, reconnect, and remember that you’re not alone.
