In this episode, I'm reconnecting with my former coaching client, Khawla Alhasan, for a conversation about her journey from struggling with self-love to creating a life where she is thriving and helping others grow, too. If you've ever questioned your worth or wondered whether a different relationship with yourself is possible, I hope you'll see a little of yourself and what's possible for you in her story. Khawla is a Bahraini creative technologist, educator, and researcher with a PhD exploring how emerging technologies can create more playful and meaningful forms of human connection. Her work brings together creativity, technology, design, and human experience. She is now expanding her focus toward building Peak, an online community centered around focus, growth, creativity, and genuine human connection.

Have you ever held parts of yourself back because you were afraid people would see you and think, "She doesn't have what it takes"? In this episode, I get honest about that fear—and how trying to fit the mold as a businesswoman, creator, and mother has pulled me away from my own strength. Drawing on Byron Katie's Loving What Is and her concept of the three businesses—mine, yours, and God's—I explore a question that helps me come back to myself: Whose business am I in? If you've been questioning yourself or feeling pressure to be someone you're not, this conversation is an invitation to soften, return to what's yours to do, and give yourself permission to show up as you are. You can find Byron Katie's book, Loving What Is, here:  https://amzlink.to/az0Q33j9BLGG0 My favorite way to read/listen is through Audible. It is my favorite and most used membership of all time.

What if the very thing that made you feel different could become one of the greatest sources of your confidence? Kenzie Gomez was born with Fontaine Progeroid Syndrome, a rare genetic condition that has shaped the way she experiences the world, but it has never defined what she is capable of. In this conversation, Kenzie shares her journey toward embracing what makes her different, developing genuine confidence, and learning to accept herself more fully. We talk about the pressure to fit in, the courage it takes to be seen, and why self-acceptance isn't about loving every part of your story every moment, it's about no longer believing you need to become someone else to be worthy. This episode is a beautiful reminder that what makes you different isn't something you need to hide. It may be the very thing that helps you connect, inspire, and show others what's possible. If this conversation sparks something in you, private coaching with me is available — a space to reconnect with yourself and create the aligned life you're meant to live.

I used to think I just needed to try harder. Get more disciplined. Finally "figure it out." Turns out what I actually needed was to stop abandoning myself. In this episode, I'm sharing the realization that quietly rewired how I see myself, my life, and how I move through the world, and why so much of what looks like "not having it together" is actually just self-rejection wearing a disguise. We get into: the exhausting pressure to perform okay-ness why clarity and confidence show up after you leap, not before what becomes possible the moment you stop fighting yourself and start returning to who you've been all along If you've ever felt like you had to earn your own permission to feel enough — this one's for you. You don't need a new version of yourself. You need to come home. 🤍 If this conversation sparks something in you, private coaching with me is available — a space to reconnect with yourself and create the aligned life you're meant to live.

So many women have spent years taking care of everyone else that they no longer know how to take care of themselves without guilt. They say yes when they want to say no. They keep the peace. They carry the weight. And over time, they lose touch with their own needs, desires, and voice. If you're ready to stop abandoning yourself and start becoming the rooted, grounded woman you're meant to be, I want to invite you to The Rooted Reset — my intimate in-person women's workshop happening June 15–16 in Idaho. Spots are limited.

In this episode of Empowered Now, I'm sharing a simple practice that can help you begin reconnecting with yourself and building the kind of self-trust that creates lasting change. We talk about boundaries, people-pleasing, and what it looks like to honor yourself in small, everyday moments. If you've been feeling exhausted, disconnected, or like you've been putting yourself last for far too long, I hope this conversation encourages you. You deserve to take up space in your own life, too. 💛 If this conversation sparks something in you, private coaching with me is available — a space to reconnect with yourself and create the aligned life you're meant to live.
