Brave Little Things

There’s a moment in business that almost all of us hit at some point. We’re showing up. We’re creating. We’re doing all the things. And still, clients and money aren’t really moving the way we hoped they would. In this episode, I slow that moment down and take a closer look at what’s actually happening. Most of the time, it’s not about effort. It’s about value, fit, and whether what we’re putting...

What if the reason you don’t follow through on your goals isn’t because you don’t want them badly enough… but because you’re making them too big of a deal? In this first episode of the year, I’m sharing something I’m actively working through myself — a quieter, lighter way of going after what we want without burning out or bailing when things get hard. We talk about why motivation and passion can...

In this final episode of the year, we’re talking about something most of us live with without even realizing it: the quiet, constant soundtrack of not enough. Not enough time, not enough progress, not enough clarity, not enough energy… and the belief that somehow, we’re not enough either. Inspired by Lynne Twist’s book The Soul of Money, I share one of the most powerful stories I’ve ever read — a...

How do you actually feel grateful when your brain is wired to look for everything that’s missing? In today’s episode, we’re breaking down the surprising truth about gratitude: it doesn’t come naturally. It’s a practice we have to create on purpose—and when we do, it can turn an ordinary life into something quietly extraordinary. I share the story of how recording a short video on gratitude sent me...

In today’s episode, I’m digging into one tiny word that seems innocent but sneaks its way into our goals, our relationships, our parenting, our businesses — and quietly holds us back: “trying.” I share a few stories (including the Central Park tennis-ball mama, a birth-pool moment where I finally snapped at my husband, and some honest coaching from a client in a relationship spiral) that show how...

In this episode, we’re diving into one of the most universal human struggles: caring what other people think. Not in the “just don’t care!” kind of way, because that’s not real, but in the honest, messy, human way that actually helps you shift it. I’m sharing stories from my own life, a powerful moment with a former coach, what came up on last night’s free group coaching call, and how this shows u...

In this episode, we’re talking about what it really means to stand your ground—and why so many of us struggle to do it. I share a story from when I was 19 that unexpectedly taught me the power of quiet certainty (yes, it involves a chaotic NYC penthouse and a babysitting job gone awry). We explore how “good girl” conditioning manifests in adulthood in ways we barely even notice. If you’ve ever fou...

In this episode, we explore the beauty of contrast — the strange, sacred way that joy lands deeper after we’ve tasted the hard. I share two stories from our family road trip out West, including one freezing night in a tent in Oregon that taught me more about gratitude than any self-help book ever could. We discuss emotional highs and lows, why humans aren’t meant to be happy all the time, and how...

Ever find yourself this close to giving up on something you actually really want? In this episode, I get real about those sneaky moments when we quit — not because it’s time to move on, but because our brains get scared, impatient, or tired of waiting for results. I share stories from my coaching work, what’s really going on in the brain when things take longer than we hoped, and a few surprisingl...

If I could sit my 20-year-old self down for a cup of tea, here’s what I’d tell her. In this episode, I share eight lessons I wish I’d learned sooner—about fear, self-trust, pain, rest, purpose, and what it really means to live as a human in this wild world. These are the truths I now pass on to my kids, my clients, and the next generation of brave little humans trying to figure it out. Whether you...

Ever wonder why it’s so easy to show up for everyone else...but not for yourself? In this episode, we’re getting honest about self-accountability: why your brain secretly resists it, how shame keeps you hiding, and what actually starts to shift when you slow down, get curious, and take one small follow-through.  You’ll walk away with a simple, repeatable way to rebuild self-trust without guilt, hu...

If you’ve ever been halfway up a goal and found yourself climbing back down to “pick a better trail,” this one’s for you.  We’re revisiting the mountain story that so many of you loved in my Brave Little Things Newsletter- and adding the deeper layer I didn’t include the first time. In plain language, we’re talking about why we start/stop/start/stop…and how to actually stay. You’ll hear about: The...

We’ve all been sold the idea that “balance” is the secret to being a good parent, partner, and business owner. But what if chasing balance is actually what’s making you feel worse? In this episode, we flip the script on work-life balance and invite you to think differently about how you spend your time and energy. I share personal stories about overcorrecting after motherhood, learning to name my...

What if the stories you tell yourself about who you are: “I’m always late,” “I’m not a leader,” “I’m just a hot mess”,  aren’t actually who you are at all? In episode 16, I dive into the idea of identity addictions -the old labels and patterns our brains keep pulling us back to, just like a craving for chips or another scroll through Instagram. These identities feel safe because they’re familiar,...

In this episode, we’re talking about the one version of ourselves most of us try to ignore: Past You. If you’ve ever replayed mistakes in your head, judged yourself for choices you made, or felt like you’re constantly dragging around regret, this conversation is for you. I’ll share: Why separating past you, present you, and future you changes everything A personal story about how I went from loath...

What if your future self already knows the way, and all you have to do is cultivate a relationship with her so she can guide the way? In this episode, I’m sharing both soulful stories and practical tools to help you connect with future you—the woman you’re becoming on purpose. You’ll learn simple exercises (like “start, stop, continue” and end-of-day reflections) that can change how you show up to...

What if freedom isn’t out there in some faraway future, but waiting in the life you already have? In this episode, I share one of the most powerful stories I’ve ever heard, about a woman who turned a coffee can and a dollar bill into proof that she could create something bigger for herself. You’ll walk away with inspiration and practical ways to start your own “coffee can” practice — the small, do...

Why is it so hard to do the thing you say you want to do?  Now, THAT is the question. In today’s episode, we’re getting real about the moments when you’re motivated in theory… but somehow still avoid the project, the post, the pitch, the next step. Whether you’ve been ghosting your own goals or just feeling stuck, we’ll walk through five sneaky reasons you’re not following through—and how to shift...

Rest isn’t a prize at the end of your to-do list. It’s not something you “get to” after the inbox is at zero or the laundry’s folded. It’s a strategy. A business-building tool. A soul-saving practice. A lifeline. In this episode of Brave Little Things, I’m sharing why rest isn’t a luxury- - it’s the key to building a life and business that actually feels good. I’ll tell you how I went from hustlin...

We all talk about the fear of failure all the time, but what about the fear of success? In this milestone 10th episode (yay us!), I’m diving into a real-but-rarely-talked-about mindset block that affects so many creative women, entrepreneurs, coaches, and sensitive overthinkers: the fear of success. It’s the subtle self-sabotage that shows up as procrastination, perfectionism, or endlessly tweakin...

In this episode, we’re diving deep into FEAR: what it really is, why it feels so intense, and how to stop letting it run your life. Whether you’re launching something new, putting yourself out there, or just trying to live a braver, bolder life… fear is going to show up. That’s not the problem. The problem is when we treat it like a stop sign. I’ll walk you through 5 truths about fear that will sh...

We’ve all heard it: Consistency is the key to success. But here’s what nobody tells you...consistency isn’t about forcing yourself, being more disciplined, or magically waking up with endless willpower. In episode 8 of Brave Little Things, I share the real secret to showing up consistently — and actually enjoying it. You’ll learn:  Why consistency is really just a symptom (and of what!)  How to ma...

Perfectionism is not the same as doing your very best. It is not the same as striving for more and better. Instead, it is a means by which we deprive ourselves the feelings of satisfaction, fulfillment, and pride. Rather than having a realistic gauge of what is good and complete, we fixate on what is missing or wrong and it can impact so many areas of our lives. In today’s episodes, we’ll explore...

We’ve all heard the advice: “Just allow your feelings.” Cool. But like… how? Should I light a candle? Host a tea party for my anxiety? In this episode, we’re breaking down what it actually means to allow an emotion without spiritual bypassing, overanalyzing, or losing your mind in the process. I’ll share 3 surprisingly simple ways to work with your emotions in real-time, so you can stop stuffing t...

You know that moment in life where you’re finally doing “the thing” and instead of feeling empowered, you suddenly feel like you’re falling through the sky with no parachute? Yeah, that. In this episode, I’m sharing the real secret to feeling safe when everything in you wants to bolt. We’ll talk about how to stop gripping for control and start building real safety—the kind that comes from trusting...
