Today on Raising Hustle, I’m joined by Fionna Sams, certified doula and founder of My Wellness Womb — a woman who was called into birth work through her own lived experience. After experiencing two very different births — one where she felt invisible and another where she felt deeply supported — Fionna knew she couldn’t stay silent. That contrast ignited her passion for advocating for mothers in the labor and delivery room. With training through DONA and a background in health science and nur...
In this honest and vulnerable episode of Raising Hustle, we’re talking about gender disappointment — the grief, guilt, love, and gratitude that can all exist at the same time when the result isn’t what you hoped for. This conversation isn’t about ingratitude or loving your baby any less. It’s about acknowledging the dream that shifted, holding space for both hurt and joy, and allowing healing to unfold without shame. If you’ve ever felt grateful and grieving in the same breath, this episode w...
Motherhood can feel expensive before the baby even arrives — the registry, the nursery, the pressure to “have it all.” But here’s the truth: it’s not about spending less. It’s about spending intentionally. In this episode, I share how I decide where to save without guilt, where to spend for sanity, and how to make financial choices that support both your family and your long-term wealth. We’ll talk about needs vs. wants vs. worth it, avoiding lifestyle inflation, protecting your peace, and pl...

In this episode of Raising Hustle, we talk honestly about the pressure of curated feeds, comparison, and the quiet burnout that comes from trying to keep up with someone else’s timeline. This is a heart-led conversation about staying grounded, protecting your peace, and remembering that you don’t have to perform to be powerful. We explore: Why comparison warps your sense ...

What if being a “good mom” isn’t about doing everything right—but about being real? In this episode of Raising Hustle, we unpack the invisible standards that shape how we judge ourselves as mothers—social media, family expectations, generational beliefs, and quiet comparisons we never agreed to. This is a heart-led conversation about letting go of perfection, trusting your intuition, and redefining motherhood in a way that honors both your child and yourself. We talk about: Why the “good mom”...
Motherhood was never meant to be done alone.

If you’ve ever felt lonely, unseen, or like yo...
What if the life you were told to want was never meant for you? In this episode of Raising Hustle, I share why I built a life where I no longer ask for time off—and why freedom, flexibility, and presence matter more than climbing someone else’s ladder.
