After 30 with Cara Eriguel

My mom’s 3rd time on the podcast, we still had so much to cover and unpack (haha) My mom and I love each other deeply but still, for the longest time, somehow missed each other emotionally. Then, later in life, we both found out we had ADHD - and suddenly, years of misunderstandings, emotional overwhelm, people pleasing, masking, tension, and mother-daughter growing pains started making sense...

What if support didn’t have to be loud to be life-changing? We sit down with permaculture designer and Tuminugan Farm steward, Renee Perrine, for a conversation that started with something simple- a video of someone walking uphill, and another person placing just two fingers on their back. Not pushing. Not carrying. Just… there. And somehow, the climb became easier. We explore what’s really happen...

What does it mean to hold on to som...

The times we tell ourselves we’re fine when we’re not. The little girl within us who learned that being low-maintenance was safer than being honest. In this conversation, I share what it looks like to finally acknowledge your emotions —...

This is not a reinvention. It’s not a comeback. And it’s not a breakdown. It’s the stretch. The Becoming Season explores what happens in your 30s when the life you built starts asking more of you — more honesty, more courage, more depth. Marriage changes you. Ambition changes you. Loss changes you. Motherhood — or the waiting for it — changes you. Success changes you. Silence changes you. This sea...
