Today, I discuss the science and truth of aging, but I also share the exciting things I am learn...

Ever wonder why this song sings about 6 different birds then is broken up with “Five golden rings” before it goes on to describing the last 5 days of performances by people? Was the author really talking about actual gold rings? Hello! It’s Christmas Eve, and today I share 5 things I have learned that help me step into my power! This podcast was inspired by the 12 Days of Christmas song, and durin...

I had some feelings today. My son left to go back to Hawaii after a ten-day visit. So I took an official “sad day” to allow myself time to just feel. It’s been good. Really good. And I realized in the midst of it, I was actually accomplishing something really important. Join me today as I talk about what I believe to be the best way to change the world. We all want to have an impact. We all want t...

This is a question I was asked recently by a young person in their 20’s. Today I take this overwhelming, huge question and break it down into what felt manageable to me.  It’s not unusual for humans to ask themselves some version of this question many times over the course of their life. We all want to feel like we offer value to this world and know that our life is important and purposeful.  Howe...

I share the heart behind it all by answering these questions: What led me to decide to make this documentary? What do I hope to accomplish through it? What do I worry about when sharing my story? What is the most important lesson I have learned through the...

Today I talk about a very important lesson my ankle taught me and how I am applying it to my life. I discuss how the things that bring us support and healing can eventually limit us from reaching our full potential and how to know when it's time to take off the brace. You will learn the method that I have found effective for my healing journey that comes simply from these three things: Awarene...

It’s so easy to see what we have yet to accomplish and forget to celebrate how far we have come. Our culture has ingrained so many toxic ways of thinking into our minds that most of the time, we don’t even realize that we are in autopilot mode and buying into these lies. Instead of being aware of our journey, we rush around living in constant stress with an unending To-Do List.  Maybe this isn’t y...

I have spent most of my life trying to be as selfless as possible. The very word selfish still sends me into a bit of a panic.  This is what religious trauma can do to you.  Join me today as I unpack the word “self-centered”.  You will learn: The meaning of the word and when it was first used in our language What was happening in England during 1645  The similarities between then and now The histo...

Join me and my hardcore partner Jenna as we laugh and share about our recent 43.4 mile cycling adventure and all the wild experiences we had along the way! Being new to gravel biking, and brand new to bike packing, it quickly became evident that we had no clue what we were getting ourselves into. But it was still a blast! We made the best of it, laughed our asses off in between exhaustion and free...

It's been a rough week here at Peace Out Ranch. One week ago, my beloved horse Zelle came down really sick.

Everyone loves fall - the beautiful colors and cool weather. But did you ever wonder why some trees drop their leaves and others do not? Why is it that some animals stock up and prepare to hibernate while others fly away? After some delightful research, I am excited to share some super cool nature facts and basic science that is sure to spark your interest! This research trail led me into curiosit...

Today, I share some tips on how to find your alignment when life starts irritating you. I often find myself trying to “push” myself and think that if I just ignore the irritation and force myself to keep going, it will go away. But the friction only goes away when I take time to stop, assess the situation, and adjust where I have gotten out of alignment.  It’s simple but important in order to cont...

This is not my favorite episode. I tried to find a way to avoid talking about a recent horrific situation with AirBnb and one of their hosts, but my brain has been stuck on it.  So I showed up anyway. In the middle of the mess. And shared my story.  Life is complicated, hard, and often sucky. It’s so important that we continue building moments of joy and delight into our life.  For those that make...

Today's episode is a little different. After seeing so much disdain, hate, and negativity online, I spent several hours writing this song. It helped me process my feelings and find what I wanted to say. So instead of talking about the current social climate, I decided to sing about it. :) I hope this song reminds you to value all humanity, no matter what. The ecosystems that thrive are the one...

Recently my family attended the Japanese Festival held in the Japanese Garden at Nathanael Greene/Close Memorial Park.

It's a tough one for me today. Being a parent who loves their kids as deep and as wide as possible and watching your kids grow up and struggle might be one of the hardest parts of parenting I have yet experienced.

This week I talk about something that makes me very uncomfortable to talk about.  Discussing my weight feels embarrasing but I also felt it was important to share. We are all tempted to struggle with our weight and some of us, (I’m talking about me), can get hyperfixed on a certain number. But we don’t have to stay stuck in that shame-filled space. Today I share: -The reason I weighed myself -The...
