Today, I have the joy of talking with my friend Nadia Ali - mom, entrepreneur, educator, and advocate for health and racial equity - about the importance of discomfort. I know- who wants to feel uncomfortable? Looking for and leaning into discomfort is not something that most of us do- in fact, the majority of you listening will have been raised in families where you were taught that discomfort was bad, wrong, or a sign of weakness - you may have been taught that the purpose of life is to ach...

Allison describes herself as a believer,...
Today I have the utter privilege of sharing with you a conversation I had with Ellen Bradley about her mothering journey with her 3 beautiful daughters. Ellen is the epitome of bravery, connection, and possibility. As we continue to navigate the “shoulds” and expectations in motherhood that hold us back from the life we want most, Ellen’s story is an example of what it looks like to forage straight ahead with what feels right instead of what others believe is right. Her story invite...

Today’s episode is a bit different and a bit longer than our typical episodes. I am taking you on a journey with me. Like, a literal journey. A couple of weeks ago, I ventured, by myself, to the south of Japan for a 6-day walk on the Kumano Kodo- I recorded myself through this adventure, and so this episode today is a peek into my inner thoughts, my experiences along the trail, and interactions with people who I met along the way. This is me, sharing me. When I am mostly all alone. For...

Today, I dive deep into internal and external clutter with mom and de-clutter coach, Courtney Florey. Together we unravel the interplay between internal and ex...

Board-certified women’s health nurse practitioner (NP), certified perinatal mental health specialist, menopause practitioner, and also a mother, Emese leads us into the wild, wonderful, and so often emotionally chaotic ride into this role as “mother.” This incredible conv...
Today, I walked straight into my recording studio from a morning walk. Not a lot of planning ahead of time for this episode… just a sense that I had to share exactly what was on my mind. Today’s episode digs into the important concept of self-care in motherhood. A term that is over-used and widely abused by commercialism. This episode also digs into the concept of “self-sacrifice” in motherhood- a term that I believe is misleading and dangerous. If you find that taking care of yoursel...
