Mirror Mirror On the Mic

Somewhere along the way, being "easy", "strong", and "low maintenance" became your personality. But it didn't start that way. In this episode of Mirror Mirror on the Mic, we're pulling back the curtain on the version of you that learned how to perform in order to be loved, chosen, and safe...and asking the real question: Who were you before all of that? We talk about: The subtle ways the "soft lif...

You don’t have to be healed to start doing things differently. In this episode, I’m taking you into real life with me… because I have mediation starting this week, and the stress of it? It’s intense.

I...

What happens when you realize no one is coming to rescue you… and somehow, that truth becomes your power?

Have you ever told yourself, "why can't I just get over this?" In this episode, we are talking about the difference between broken and frozen.

I had a crazy thought today. What if instead of listening to middle aged white men about what to do in the world today, what if we asked our children?? They are so much wiser than we give them credit for. So in this episode, I interview my own kids so they can school us in how to be better humans. You DO NOT want to miss this. It funny and might make you cry. 

We've been taught to believe that love, validation, motivation, and even calm come from outside of us. A text. A compliment. A relationship. A win.  Thats's frosting.  In this episode, we break down the cake analogy-why you have to be fully baked on your own before anything external can actually enhance your life-and how your brain chemistry explains exactly why chasing frosting never satisfies. W...
