In this episode, I’m speaking to the mom who’s also a teacher, therapist, coach—or simply someone who feels called to help others—but is still struggling with yelling, burnout, or self-doubt at home.

You know what to do. You’ve done the healing work.
But there’s still that voice that whispers:

“You’re not ready.”
“Who are you to help anyone?”
“You’re still messing it up at home…”

I’ve been there too.

In this episode, I share:

  • My own story of pivoting from corporate coaching to healing work while still in the mess
  • Why your imperfection is actually what qualifies you to lead
  • How to stop letting the judge in your head run your life
  • The mindset shift that changed everything for me—and my clients
  • And why progress, not perfection, is the new leadership

 You don’t have to be “done” to start helping. You just have to be a few steps ahead.
This is your permission to rise anyway.
