On this episode of Behind the Fold, I'm coming to you from a season that feels equal parts dreamy and overwhelming.

I'm sharing five truths that are grounding me right now and shifts that are helping me move forward with more intention, clarity, and self-trust. Here's what we dive into...
In this episode of Behind The Fold, I sit down with Gab Galante to talk about a career pivot that many women quietly think about but rarely say out loud. After building an award-winning agency, Gab found herself questioning what success and alignment looked like after becoming a mother. We explore the honest and sometimes uncomfortable process of listening to those internal nudges and allowing your career to evolve with the season of life you are in. Here’s what we unpack: 2:29 - The identity...
On this episode of Behind the Fold, I share a realization I didn't expect after having my second child: my ambition didn't disappear, it became clearer than ever. Instead of slowing down, I started seeing my goals, priorities, and timing differently. This solo episode is about the shift that happens when you stop believing ambition and motherhood have to compete. It's not about hustle culture or proving anything. It's about recognizing the season you're in and giving yourself permission to gr...

In this episode of Behind the Fold, I’m sharing a reminder I needed myself: to stop waiting for the perfect moment or the perfect version of you to arrive. When life feels messy or uncertain, it’s easy to convince yourself that this isn’t your season, but momentum starts the moment you decide to move, even in small ways.

In this episode, I’m sharing why protecting your energy has become one of the most critical skills I practice as a leader, especially in motherhood. After years of leading teams and now raising young kids, I’ve realized leadership is less about visibility or constant availability, and far more about discernment, boundaries, and nervous system regulation. Here’s what we unpack: • 02:00 – Why motherhood doesn’t reduce ambition, but sharpens discernment and leadership maturity • 04:5...

In this episode of Behind the Fold, I’m getting honest about something I’ve been navigating lately: the changing definition of capacity in motherhood. Since becoming a mom of two, I’ve noticed how easily I fall into the trap of trying to operate like my pre-kids self. This includes squeezing in “just one more thing,” chasing the illusion of night-time productivity, and forgetting that real capacity isn’t about time, but energy. If you’ve been feeling stretched thin and still wondering why it’...
In today’s episode, I’m talking about the fear of losing relevance, especially during a slow season like mat leave, postpartum, or any major life transition. As I move through this slower chapter myself, I’ve been thinking a lot about what relevance actually means, and how we can stay aligned without constantly chasing visibility or momentum. If you’ve been feeling stuck, behind, or unsure how to show up in this season, you’re not alone! Here’s what I explore: • 01:40 – How slower seasons lik...
In today’s episode, I’m diving into a topic that feels incredibly close to home: self-doubt after becoming a mother. As I’ve eased back into work and adjusted to life with two little ones, I’ve realized that decision-making doesn’t come as easily as it used to. The more I reflect on it, the more I understand how motherhood shifts the way we view ourselves and our ability to trust our instincts. I’m sharing how I’ve been navigating this challenge, especially as I continue to juggle my career, ...

In this week’s episode, I’m reflecting on what it really means to want more while also learning to sit in the “enough-ness” of where we already are. As I ease back into work after maternity leave, I’ve been thinking about how easy it is to fall into the cycle of what’s next, from the next milestone, the next client, to the next big win, without ever stopping to acknowledge how far we’ve come. If you’re a mom, an entrepreneur, or both, this is a gentle nudge to rethink the hustle and consider ...
Between the naps, dishes, meetings, and mayhem, there’s always a pause that holds the ideas that won’t leave us alone. Maybe it’s a recurring thought, a full-body feeling that you can’t shake, or a whisper that says “do the thing”. In today’s episode of Behind the Fold, I’m getting into what it means to power through your blockages, build up your self-trust muscles, and actually listen to those inner knowings. For most of us, that means confronting the messy middle of the idea itself vs the f...
Welcome back to Behind the Fold! This week’s episode is short, but soul-nourishing. With my parents on their way back to Canada, I’m reflecting on these transitional periods and what it means to live in the “half-finished” season of life, where motherhood, business, and personal identity all seem to be in progress at once. Rather than resist it, I’m exploring what it means to reframe this state of incompletion as a metaphor for growth, grace, and real-time living. If you’re feeling like me, I...

As a former client and now a friend, I was thrilled to bring this conversation to life. We talk through everything from buildi...
This conversation was one of those last-minute, everything-went-sideways kind of recordings. I had planned to sit down and record this ahead of time, but life (and my four-month-old) had other ideas. But the beautiful twist is that the disruption actually gave me the clarity I didn’t know I needed. What started as a rushed attempt to tick something off my to-do list, turned into a deeper reflection on clarity, rest, and redefining productivity. This is something I think so many of us need to ...
