Imperfectly Courageous

You're not disorganized — you're carrying the mental load. 🧠 Research shows working moms juggle about 14 open mental tabs at any moment. In this episode, we name the mental gymnastics 🤸‍♀️, then practice the physiological sigh together: a 10-second, Stanford-backed breathwork tool proven to calm your nervous system faster than meditation. 🫁 Plus, set one small weekly intention that ac...

Most of us got two options for a hard feeling: swallow it or drown in it. In this episode I hand you the third — a two-minute practice you can do in a parked car: name it, locate it, move it. We cover the UCLA research on why naming an emotion literally calms the brain's alarm center ("name it to tame it"), why swallowed feelings wait for 2 a.m., and a gentle guided tapping round to...

Feeling behind this week? Check whose ruler you’re holding. In this minisode I share the appointment where a doctor I’ve known for years responded to my new chapter with “we’ll see how long this lasts” — and how the old me would have carried that sentence home. Plus the mayflies that covered my car one night and what they taught me about underwater seasons: growing unseen isn’t behind, it’s before...

You handle everything — and feel almost none of it. In this episode we name the strange grief of competence: being at the game but on the phone, on the vacation but running it, everywhere and nowhere at once. I share the rink moment that caught me, why your nervous system won’t let you be present in a moment it believes needs managing, and the reframe that changes everything: presence isn’t a skil...

It’s July — camps, summer leagues, kids home more, being the entertainment, vacation math, and the conversations that aren’t easy. An uninterrupted twenty minutes isn’t where you are yet, so here’s ninety seconds instead. The exact reset I use in the camp pickup line and the parking lot: three signals — the ground, the breath, the touch — that flip your body’s calm switch when the day is full. I s...

Picture her — you, before all of it. Before the titles, the schedules, and becoming the person everyone leans on. In this episode we name the grief nobody warns you about: losing yourself one reasonable sacrifice at a time. I share the research word for it (matrescence — the identity earthquake of motherhood that doesn't just happen once), why grieving your old self isn't ingratitude, an...

Canada Day sparks a deeper look at what “home” really means when life looks fine on the outside but feels heavy on the inside. We unpack why what you call burnout may actually be homesickness for your own self, and how to start coming back to the worth you never had to earn.  • the hidden mental load behind parenting, work, and volunteering  • why “home” is not a place but your steady inner self ...

I disappear for a while, then come back to tell the honest reason I went quiet and what was really happening underneath it. We reframe silence as composting, name the identity skins we shed, and invite you to come home to who you already are.  • launching the podcast then going silent and why that matters  • uncoupling from the corporate identity and listening to the whispers  • the difference bet...
