Rise & Energize

This is a fun episode reflecting on some random "lessons" from Taylor & Travis's wedding. Reminders that: -most of the "rules" you think you need to follow are made-up; do what serves you best! -everyone will have an opinion, yours is the only one that matters -set clear expectations & communicate them! -don't ignore your past self, thank them! Thank you for l...

Today's episode is about something you may not realize is affecting your relationships... all the pressure you put on certain roles/titles/labels they have in your life.  Do you have unspoken and unacknowledged expectations that go along with someone being your "mom", "dad", "husband", "wife", "best friend", "sister", "boss&quot...

In this episode, I'm talking about 5 ways I've found that improve my sleep and giving some supporting evidence from sources like the National Institutes of Medicine, Baylor University, and Psychology Today to show you that these methods actually WORK!

I just spent a weekend taking care of my niece and wanted to share 5 things I reflected on! 1. We pile our plates too full! What's thing we can spit out? 2. Change of scenery works wonders for our mindsets 3. Remember - what do you want MOST rather than what do you want NOW? 4. Movement is medicine! 5. Routines are EVERYTHING!

Today I'm talking about how we can use the concept of "Volume Eating" to inform the way we think about everything in our lives! When I first discovered volume eating, it opened up a whole new world for me! I was practicing the 2B Mindset by Ilana Muhlstein (link below) and realized that I didn't need to learn how to eat LESS, I just needed to learn how to eat SMARTER. The same...

Weird topic, but I've had a crazy amount of conversations about all things pregnancy, labor, breastfeeding, etc. and some of the things about breastfeeding got me thinking... 1. What we SIGNAL, we STRENGTHEN 2. Anytime we start something NEW, we should expect DISCOMFORT... that doesn't mean it's wrong 3. We create BASELINES for what we will TOLERATE, both physically and in other are...

After finishing 75 Hard, I was reminded how much I love incorporating a little bit of self-help/personal-development nonfiction reading into my everyday routine. I find it easiest and most helpful to add at the beginning of the day, just to start off on the right foot, but any time you can add this in CONSISTENTLY is great!  Here are my top 5 book recommendations when it comes to personal growth:...

Officially 30!!! (Well, I actually have been since last July, but my hubby just turned 30 so I thought it might be fun to do an episode on our top lessons learned in our 20s). In our 20s, our top two takeaways were: 1) life is short 2) don't take anything personally Listen in for more on these perspectives! Hopefully this episode encourages you to go after your dreams (because life is short y...

In honor of my book club celebrating our 3 year anniversary/birthday, I wanted to remind you that YOU are in control of the COMMUNITY surrounding you. Look around and see if you're happy with your circle. If not, CHANGE it!  You don't necessarily need to cut people out (though you might want to), but you ABSOLUTELY can be the leader in CREATING the COMMUNITY you wish existed if you don&a...

Are you constantly finding ways to multi-task, habit stack, and "make the most" of whatever you're doing? SAME! I've recently realized that this is something a lot of us struggle with and CAN be a good thing in a way, but often just leads to us feeling frazzled, disconnected, and unable to fully relax. In this episode, I'm giving you permission to SINGLE-TASK by choosing O...

Justin Bieber's Coachella performance has been in all of my headlines this week and the thing that has me SO interested is the fact that EVERYONE HAS A DIFFERENT OPINION! (I, of course, absolutely love him and every performance of his.) However, this reminds me of the fact that the SAME action can gain you PRAISE while also attracting CRITICISM. No matter what we do, SOMEONE is bound to disag...

Do you every struggle with truly being PRESENT and appreciating what you have HERE & NOW? As humans, we have something called "hedonic adaptation" which means we adapt quickly to pleasurable experiences and take them for granted. So, if you're feeling that way, it's just because it's in your DNA!  HOWEVER, there are things we can do to increase our appreciation and GRA...

Today's episode was inspired by my most recent favorite personal development book by Mel Robbins, The High Five Habit!  Even though this episode doesn't focus specifically on the mirror high-five habit Robbins centers around in her book, it narrows in on the RAS (reticular activating system) that she describes in very relatable way starting in chapter 8 of the book.  In chapter 9, she gi...

Have you ever heard of the phrase "A Call to All is a Call to None?"  The concept is that when you make an ask to EVERYONE, you're not being SPECIFIC enough, which means the likelihood of getting the response you'd hoped for isn't very high. Similarly, when we try to be open about ALL THINGS or liked by EVERYONE or good at EVERYTHING, we don't give ourselves the freed...

We're covering the acronym HALT in today's episode! This acronym is often used when working with young children and identifying why they might be overreacting, misbehaving, or throwing a tantrum, but adults are just children with more life experiences and we need tools like this too! The next time you overreact, trying using this acronym... HALT and ask yourself Am I hungry? Is there unr...

This episode is just a friendly reminder that life just isn't that SERIOUS! My hope for this episode is that it gives you permission to RELEASE any pressure you feel to be perfect, "get it right", or perform in ANY area of your life, no matter how small. Life is FUN and MESSY.  The next time you find yourself dwelling on something and feeling immense pressure to make the right decis...

Today's episode is all about POTENTIAL and EXPANSION and how sometimes (even if we don't realize it or intend it), we can trap ourselves in limitations that don't serve us. Follow along for a fun little sour dough analogy (you do NOT need to be a sour dough expert to understand this episode!!) and some thought-provoking ideas of ways you might be CONTAINING your possibilities.  Love...

Have you ever caught yourself saying, “I’m just so busy,” or labeling someone else as “so disciplined,” “so organized,” or “such a hard worker”? In this episode, I’m unpacking the subtle (and sneaky) way we project identities onto other people—and onto ourselves—and how those words quietly shape our relationships and our reality. This conversation was sparked when someone told me (multiple times!)...

The goal of this episode is to show you the POWER of establishing a morning routine, even if it's just 10-15 minutes!  Go back to the episode from 12/29/25 to get your reference for the 7 Areas of Life Balance I mentioned here, but here are a few things you could implement that would be QUICK and APPROACHABLE for each area. Pick the one that you want to work on MOST and set your alarm tomorro...

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a conversation that truly made me pause and reflect — the three core pillars that determine whether we’re actually making progress… or unknowingly holding ourselves back. What started as a lesson inside a nutrition accountability group (shoutout to a concept I learned from a registered dietitian I’ve followed for years) quickly became something so much bigger. While...

I wanted to share THREE EASY HABITS you can start implementing into your life TODAY to become a more positive person! This world can be so negative, but our lives are 10% what happen to us and 90% how we RESPOND to those things, so we need to take care of our brains and prepare them to be as POSITIVE as possible in the face of difficult circumstances. These 3 habits are SO easy and I've been...

What version of "success" are you chasing... is it even yours?? After leaving my job and stepping into a season of job searching, I’ve had so many interviewers ask what I'm looking for next and I've really had to stop and figure out what MY answer to that question is, rather than just what I think sounds good to them (or other people). Today's episode is all about how we A...

If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or totally paralyzed by a big decision lately… this episode is for you. Last week, I shared the big decision to leave my job (without having a new one already lined up) and in today's episode, I’m getting real about decision fatigue, fear-based choices, and the mindset shift that finally helped me leave a job that was taking a serious toll on my ment...

Today's episode is all about the REAL and RAW feelings of JEALOUSY that we all get sometimes. It sucks to feel jealous, but those feelings are just feelings... we can use them to our ADVANTAGE rather than letting them keep us STUCK. In this episode, I share how we can use jealousy as a TOOL to: 1) give us CLARITY 2) show us proof of what's POSSIBLE The 2 step-plan you need to turn that j...
