The Path Home

Today we're going to talk about why we steal our own joy — and how to reclaim spontaneity for summer. We'll explore: Conditioned tendencies & the somatic shapes that keep us from joy Why 'always having a plan' gives us a false sense of safety The price you pay for never letting plans change How to invite more spontaneity into your summer & A practice for connecting with the feeling of YES in your...

Divorce. There are few experiences that crack us open and reorganize us like a divorce. In this 'best of' episode, I'm resharing my divorce story — beginning with my husband's request for a divorce the moment he arrived home from Burning Man. I also detail the "unknowable knowing" I felt throughout that relationship and why I ignored it for years. Tune in for tools and insights on what to do if yo...

Today I'm joined by Dr. Somi Javaid , a board-certified OB/GYN, surgeon, and the founder of HerMD. She's made it her mission to empower women to claim their health journeys — especially in the often misunderstood realms of sexual wellness, perimenopause, and menopause. We talk about: Why Dr. Somi became an OB/GYN How caregiving takes a toll on your body What to do about inflammation before it's to...

Let me tell you a not-so-secret secret — I want you to feel like you are winning more and failing less. Because I am done with women being in a perpetual state of feeling like they're behind. So while I'm usually here to talk about doing less, this week we're figuring out how to get sh*t done and win the day. And I'm teaching you my three-tier system for creating a do-able to-do list. Tune in to s...

Here's the thing: if you want something new, you have to do something different. But you can't do something different until you recognize your default settings. Today's episode is part two of our recent "Here's Why You Haven't Changed Your Life Yet" episode. Listen to that one first, then tune in here to learn: How to recognize your default settings Why your conditioned tendencies are wise (even i...

Everybody says you should be grateful … but is gratitude actually keeping you from speaking up about your needs? Today I'm talking about the shadow side of gratitude, the good girl programming that gets in your way, and the importance of yes/and thinking. Tune in for support unpacking how gratitude might be keeping you stuck, small and silent. And keep listening to the end for a breadcrumb that wi...

Welcome to season five of The Path Home! Today I'm reintroducing myself as a somatic coach — and teaching you what somatics really is in the process. Because changing your life isn't about changing your mind or "fixing" your behavior. It's about using every part of your body to align with what you care about. Tune in to this episode to learn: How to get the rest and recovery you actually need Why...

Today's episode is very special, because it's a recording of a workshop I taught with Dr. Casey Bekebile all about perimenopause. Together we discussed how we lose ourselves amidst the changing hormonal tides of our lives, how to find ourselves again, and why it's important to model for yourself and others that you matter too. We talk about hormonal changes, emotional shifts, life's big demands, i...

2025 has been challenging, hasn't it? Everyone I know is juggling busy kids, aging parents, career stress, and the general state of the world. It's a lot to hold. And it can feel like too much. Especially if you never say no to anyone. In the spirit of Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year), this week I'm sharing a special story + practice to help you quit people-pleasing for good. Join me as we expl...

Does everyone in your life look to you to get things done? Because they "know you'll do it better," so it's easier to put you in charge—of everything, all the time ? If that sounds familiar, you may be living under the curse of the capable. In this episode, we unpack the adage "if you want something done, give it to a busy woman," as a way to explore: What the curse of the capable really is How we...

Let's talk about third spaces—those places outside of home and work where real connection happens. Recent research found that 80% of mothers are desperate for ways to connect with other parents. And yet, so many of us still consider ourselves "non-joiners." In this episode, we explore: The loneliness epidemic and why you're longing for connection Why third spaces matter more than ever Ways that so...

Between school drop-offs, work deadlines, and late-night laundry, finding your people — the ones who truly see and support you — can feel impossible. In this episode, we unpack why authentic relationships are so tricky for moms, from the pull of people-pleasing to the teenage wounds that still shape our friendships. You'll learn why building a supportive circle matters more than ever — and how the...

If your kids are between 5 and 12, you might know this feeling — life is busier than ever, yet somehow lonelier too. You're working, parenting, managing a thousand invisible tasks… and somewhere along the way, you lose track of yourself and the relationships that used to keep you grounded. I call this the era of "forgotten mothers" — and to be honest, I'm in it right now. So in this episode, I unp...

Today I'm joined by three very special guests! Debra, Anh, and Hilary are incredible women who've each been part of my Homecoming circles. Together, we talk about what drew them to Homecoming, the doubts that almost held them back, and the surprising ways our time together shifted their lives. This isn't just about joining a group — it's about the messy, beautiful work of finding yourself again in...

Anyone here set high expectations? If you're listening to this, please raise your hand. Today, we're talking about the space between expectations and reality: what we think we should be able to do vs. what's actually possible. I get honest about how perfectionism can leave working moms like us constantly disappointed — and I share a gentler way to reset your expectations without lowering your stan...

Congratulations on surviving May! You made it through the busiest month of the year, and now summer's here… which is maybe just as busy? Today we're talking about seasonality and how to distinguish between seasons of growth and seasons of sustaining. Because, sometimes when you feel like an unproductive loser, it's not because you can't get anything done, it's actually because you're fighting agai...

My clients are women who have it all together. They take care of everyone and everything. But they rarely have someone in their life who can take care of them, no matter how exhausted they are. Maybe you can relate? In this episode, I'm speaking to all the women out there (myself included) who are holding everything together. Join me as we talk about: What it means to hold it all together Why so m...

Do you feel like you have to be on your best behavior all the time? Like you should know how to handle things by now? Or as if everyone's judging you because you're not quite getting it "right"? I hear this from many of the women in my Homecoming groups. So today on the podcast, we're unpacking why we all feel so flawed and insecure — and how we can get our confidence back. Tune in to hear: What m...

Welcome to season four of The Path Home! Today we're unpacking a phrase I hear often from clients and Homecoming participants: "not good enough." Everyone feels this way sometimes. But there's something that happens with women (especially moms) where the more we have to do, the more we expect of ourselves — and the worse we start to feel about our work, lives and parenting. So in this episode, I w...

Throughout history, women have circled. It's something humans do, and when women do it, it's particularly powerful and unique. But in modern life, we've lost the spaces to circle. And it's a profound shame, because we need women's circles now more than ever. Circle is where we build relationships that sustain us for a lifetime. Because every woman needs a place to be and become, where she can prac...

When I was in my twenties, I prided myself on being self-reliant. But now that I'm a working parent with a business and a family, self-reliance doesn't feel as valiant as it used to. Today we're talking about: Why we think we should be self-reliant How to uncover your beliefs about self-reliance Why parents can't do it all on their own How to be vulnerable Tune in for support letting letting go of...

In today's episode, we're going to discuss why we have a hard time understanding our needs, how to figure out what our needs truly are, and what it takes to get them met. Tune in for a reminder that your needs matter. And keep listening to the end for a breadcrumb that will help you commi...

Let me tell you a story. I recently had a call with a potential client where everything seemed to go wrong. My internet glitched. My home overheated. My kids interrupted. I felt like a mess. It definitely wasn't the "best" call I've ever done. But it turned out so much better than I could have expected. In today's episode, I'll tell you the story of that call. And we'll talk about the necessity of...
