Send us a text Let’s be real. I used to hold onto things way longer than I needed to—commitments, beliefs, expectations—just because I felt like I had to follow through. Like I wasn’t allowed to change my mind without being flaky, selfish, or weak. But what I’ve learned through my own healing (and in coaching so many women) is this: Changing your mind is not failure. It’s freedom. In this episode, I’m sharing the nervous-system-informed truth about what makes it feel so hard to pivot, say no...

This is the same process I use with my coaching clients to help them show up with clarity and power, long before everything looks perfect on the outside. You’ll hear real stories from women who stopped waiting to feel ready and started becoming the...
Send us a text I know I’m not the only one who’s ever heard the phrase “fear not” and thought… okay, but how?? In today’s episode, I’m sharing the real reason why this verse used to feel like pressure instead of peace—and what finally helped me understand what God actually means when He says, “fear not.” I take you back to one of the hardest seasons of my life, when I was in kidney failure and completely overwhelmed, and I show you how my relationship with fear (and faith) changed forever.

Send us a text This episode is your reminder that you don’t have to feel ready to move forward. I share a story I’ve never told on the podcast before—what it felt like to decide to go back to work after 10 years of being a stay-at-home mom, after kidney failure, after thinking I’d never have the capacity to work again. I kept telling myself I needed to feel ready. But the feeling never came. What came instead was a quiet nudge: You get to choose. If you’ve been waiting for the fear to go away...
