Detached

Katie and Chris Bowick join me to share the story behind Coloring Outside the Lines , their dual-perspective memoir about addiction, recovery, marriage, and redemption. We talk about what happens when one person is struggling with addiction while the other becomes consumed by fear, vigilance, and the need to hold everything together. They open up about rebuilding trust, finding support outside tra...

For centuries, women have been labeled as crazy, too emotional, too paranoid, too much - treating intuition, trauma, and assertiveness as problems to be diagnosed or corrected. We continue to pathologize women, yet fail to properly research them. I explore how these patterns show up in the various stages of a woman’s life: adolescence, postpartum, menopause - times to be celebrated, but are instea...

Join me in a raw conversation on a panel I spoke on less than two months after tragically losing my younger brother. (This will explain my very strained voice after weeks of tears and anguish.) While this may not be the rosy, go-getter conversation typically heard at personal development events, it’s real and honest about how we can keep showing up when life is breaking your heart. This loss has s...

Today, we’re exposing one of the biggest myths about leadership and backing it with biology, research, and science. It comes down to a hormone that is responsible for keeping humanity alive (not to be dramatic) - and how women are the superior ones in this. I’m breaking down how we as women are wired to constantly read social environments, assess trust, gauge safety, and lead from the “we” rather...

In this episode, I’m able to share the news I left you hanging with last week - if you have no idea what I’m talking about, go back and listen first! After months of being deep in uncertainty, fear, old wounds, and my motherhood in question being brought right back to the center, I’m talking about what it looked like to choose faith before I even had the proof. This conversation is deep from my he...

For this week’s episode, I got an extremely strong download to hit “record” with nothing in mind except to speak from my heart about the season I’m moving through. The last 8 years have been one of the longest and hardest seasons of my life. It hasn’t come without debilitating fear and loads of uncertainty - but along the way I’ve somehow learned how to keep it from running the entire show. This i...

In this episode, I’m joined by Lindsey Marie, founder of Powerhouse Women, bestselling author and master community builder, for what feels less like an interview and more like a very honest first date between new friends. We touch on business, but mostly we go beneath the surface into worthiness, visibility, boundaries, female friendships, grief, dating, self-trust, and the kind of personal transf...

Disclaimer: I am not a licensed health professional or doctor and this podcast episode does not include any medical advice, simply researched information. We’re getting nerdy today because if you haven’t learned yet, I’m a forever skeptic needing to know the why behind pretty much everything. This episode is all about the science-backed healing power of writing and how it might be the missing anti...

Welcome back to Part 2 where I share the second half of a workshop I gave for Amberly Lago’s Unstoppable Success Mastermind , all about the myths and misconceptions that keep so many people from writing and publishing the book they know they’re meant to write. We talk about the false belief that you need to be perfectly clear before you begin, the fear that you’re a “bad writer,” and the idea that...

Join me in a live workshop I delivered to Amberly Lago’s Unstoppable Success Mastermind where we talk about what it really takes to write and publish a book. It’s not just about gaining credibility, followers, money, or some shiny “author” label. Those things can happen, yes - but the real work starts with who you become in the process. I share the origin story of how I became an author and publis...

In this episode, I’m slowing things down and talking about what it really means to come back to yourself when life feels intense, overwhelming, or just a bit too much. I share why reconnecting with your mind, body and spirit is not some abstract idea, but a practical, and necessary, everyday way to feel safer, calmer and more grounded in your own life. We get into body intelligence, emotional awar...

In light of the horrific happenings in the world regarding men and consent - it begs the question: how much of this culture is engrained in society? The answer: more than we can ever imagine. In this episode, I am unpacking time honored wedding traditions dating back tens to hundreds of years. While we consciously associate weddings and marriage with love in modern day (for the most part), this wa...

In this episode, I’m joined by my close friend and personal coach, Alyssa Azcué for a deeply honest conversation about what it looks like to be in true feminine power and where we may be posturing as women. Alyssa is a feminine embodiment practitioner, blending parts work, somatic trauma healing, and relational neuroscience to support women in reconnecting to their truth, feminine power, and inner...

Welcome back to another sneak peek from my second book, a collection of entries that go straight to the heart of motherhood, identity, and what it feels like to carry so much while feeling invisible. I invite you into the messy middle of my writing (be nice!), how this book is more memoir than self-help (the power of vulnerable storytelling), and how stepping into the version of you in a moment br...

In this episode, I’m talking about inner child healing, reparenting, and what it really means to meet the parts of yourself that still feel scared, unseen, or stuck in old survival patterns. This work is deeply personal to me as it has been the gateway to truly understanding my own patterns and behaviors. The awareness of our relationship with the little being inside of us illuminates how childhoo...

In this episode, I’m back with part two of my very candid conversation with my bestie, Kristine, who interviewed me for her podcast, Crystal Clear . We go deep into romantic relationships, self-love, and the difference between living as your Authentic Self versus your Strategic Self. I open up about old dating patterns, emotional unavailability, deep shame, and the ways I once hid parts of myself...

In this episode, I take you behind the curtain with a very open and honest chat with my bestie, Kristine Munro about the friendship we have built over the years that has truly healed and changed me. We talk about what it means to choose your authentic self over the strategic self: the one that stays quiet, plays small, and tries to keep everything “safe” - and how platonic intimacy is the gateway...

This is part two of how to survive a breakup, and we’re going deeper. If part one was about feeling the pain, this episode is about rebuilding yourself inside of it. I’m sharing what’s helping me in real time, from redefining rejection and protecting my self-worth, to creating routines and rituals that anchor me when everything feels unstable. We talk about self-care as self-respect, breaking patt...

If you’re in heartbreak right now, adjusting to a new normal overnight, I want you to know you are not alone - in fact I’m right there with you. In this episode, I share what’s helping me move through the pain in a grounded way, from feeling your emotions instead of stuffing them down, to cutting energetic cords, protecting your mental health, and choosing yourself even when it hurts. This is abou...

“Mindset”: the buzzword that, in my opinion, is wildly overused in personal development. For years, I was convinced this was where it all started. So many books, podcasts, and videos out there will convince you that if you just work harder on your thoughts, push through another challenge, or stay disciplined long enough, you’ll finally become the version of you that you’ve been striving for. But t...

This week I’m sharing something deeply personal that has radically shifted my mental health and spiritual connection, ritual. Not routine. Not productivity hacks. Ritual. The kind that grounds you when anxiety spikes, helps you let go when attachment tightens, and recalibrates you when overwhelm takes over. After a season of intense growth, emotional release, and deep spiritual awakening, I realiz...

Trigger Warning: Mentions of sexual assault and r*pe This is one of the most vulnerable and necessary conversations I’ve ever shared. In this episode, I speak openly about women’s safety, the patriarchal system we live in, and how deeply normalized harm towards women truly is. I reflect on my own lived experience of sexual assault and harassment, collective trauma through these horrific times, and...

This episode is deep, personal, and very close to my heart. I’m sharing a live teaching on detachment, identity, and why learning to feel safe being seen changes everything. We talk about the stories we tell ourselves to stay small, the shame many of us carry quietly, and how often we outsource safety instead of building it within ourselves. I share my own journey through writing, storytelling, an...

If you’ve ever fantasized about becoming a published author, but you’ve let fear get in the way - this one’s for you. I’m sharing a live workshop I delivered at ALIGN - an powerful annual conference geared towards helping you step into your Higher Self. I dive into the top 4 writing and publishing myths I’ve seen in my career, breakdown the truth of the process, and dispel beliefs that stop people...

Come back with me to 2018 to revisit my first book, The Less Effect: Design Your Life for Happiness & Purpose . I’m reading an excerpt from Chapter 4, “Like Attracts Like,” - a real snapshot of who I was then: a cluttered mess with questionable friendships and a little too much Netflix…oh, and anxiety I kept brushing off as “that’s just how I am.” We talk about why this work never ends and how...
