Dopamine Diaries

I started an antidepressant. I didn't write notes for this one, didn't organize my thoughts, I just hit record on my voice memo app like I always do when I get the feeling that something needs to be said out loud. If you saw my post yesterday you know I made the decision to start an SNRI.  There is no way to say everything that led to that decision in an instagram caption or a 30 second...

I did a 30 minute boredom experiment… no phone, no book, nothing in my hands, nothing to listen to… just me in a chair on my back deck and i thought it would be easy. It was not easy.  The first 10 minutes my brain did everything in its power to avoid being still… planning, brainstorming, anything but the chair. and then somewhere around minute 10 something shifted and i started noticing things i...

this one's got a little bit of everything... money blocks, marriage secrets, a solo trip glow-up, and my favorite new phrase, "you're glitching again." Kayla sat down with me post-Wired and just started unloading the good stuff. First the money thing, she didn't think she was worth spending on herself, even though she'd casually drop the same amount on a family trip w...

Dr. Katie Brockert shares how she found herself reaching for her phone during every quiet moment, at home, in social situations, and most painfully, while her young son played beside her. After installing app blockers that she'd immediately override, she knew something deeper was going on. Through the Wired program, Katie had a breakthrough realization: she wasn't just scrolling mindless...

Okay you guys, this one is so good and I think it's going to hit for a lot of you. This episode was inspired by a conversation I had with one of my clients, and honestly? The awareness she showed blew me away. We've been working together on identifying the emotions that are actually driving her actions throughout the day, and what she shared with me was just chef's kiss in terms of...

Okay… this is gonna be a little unhinged, because I had this realization like… oh. I didn’t not do the work… I just did a shit ton of work that didn’t actually change anything. Like I could explain all my patterns, I could connect every single dot imaginable AND tell you why I was spiraling..... while....actively still spiraling.  LOL So this episode is me basically calling that out. I talk about:...

This one cracked me open a little. I’m in a season I’ve never been in before… where I’m not chasing more in the way I always have, and honestly, I don’t fully recognize myself here yet. In this episode, I share:  what it’s been like to feel my inner critic get quieter… and how unsettling that actually is   how I used to chase achievement to feel enough, and why that doesn’t drive me the same way a...

WIRED: https://www.mnmfitnessco.com/wired This one’s a bit of a rant… but it needed to be said.

WIRED: https://www.mnmfitnessco.com/wired This episode started with me painting my nails… and turned into one of the biggest realizations about burnout I’ve had.

Inside this episode:  why burnout doesn’t make your brain shut down… it actually...

WIRED:  https://www.mnmfitnessco.com/wired This episode is a full-on passion crash out, I hit record because I couldn’t not say this, and I mean every word of it. I’m talking about the thing so many of you are doing, asking for help, but not actually letting yourself receive it. Inside this one:  why it feels so uncomfortable to be supported (even when you need it)   how hyper-independence keeps y...

WIRED: https://www.mnmfitnessco.com/wired I almost lost my business… and nothing was actually wrong.

Two moments of motherhood I’m not proud of… but I’m sharing them anyway.

We get into:  how scrolling can quietly mess with your confidence as a parent   why “taking a break” on your phone doesn’t actually feel like a break   what’s really...

This episode is the version of motherhood nobody posts about online. I was 6 weeks postpartum, not okay, and willing to pay anything for someone to help me figure out what the hell was happening to me. So I brought on Dr. Nicole, the person who saw me in that state and didn’t look away. We talk about: being deeply in love with your baby… and also feeling like you’re drowning the anxiety that makes...

Let’s get real, folks. I say this all the damn time, but you won’t know the freedom of letting your truth out until you just do it. In this episode, I’m laying it all on the line about the messy, chaotic world of motherhood and the shitstorm I faced for being honest about it. I’m talking about the isolation that comes from feeling like you have to wear a mask and the judgment from other moms that...

There’s a point where being capable stops feeling empowering and starts feeling heavy. Today I’m talking with Rebecca, a law firm partner, a mom, and a woman who walked through one of the hardest years of her life while holding everything else together. Rebecca didn’t shop, drink, overwork, or “self-regulate” because her life was chaotic, she did it because she believed she had no right to struggl...

This isn't a meal prep episode. It's for everyone who's been eating chips for dinner and throwing away rotting groceries every single weekend. In this very honest conversation, I'm breaking down how we went from spending $1,200+ per month on groceries that literally got thrown away to now spending under $1,000 with a fridge that's actually full, seven meals on rotation, an...

I don't know if I'm gonna post this episode. It's gonna be messy. But holy fuck, I gotta get this out. In this very raw, very honest conversation, I'm talking about why HBA is actually a hard sell. Because when you actually unlearn survival patterns to the point where you can't go back, it's not glamorous. And right now I'm grappling with wanting to go back to th...

Urgency isn’t my word for 2026, and if you’re feeling that too, this episode is for you.

Okay, what the heck is the round table? I'll be honest, I almost talked myself out of recording this because I'm like, no, you're gonna be too passionate. You're gonna scare people away. But fuck, man, I'm so tired of these invisible business rules. In this conversation, I'm breaking down the four pillars of the round table. I talk about why I'm creating the room...

Today’s episode is one of my favorites, because you’re about to hear from Christine, a VP of Operations who leads a team of 300 people across the United States… and still found herself stuck in the same survival patterns so many high-achieving women do: running on autopilot, feeling on 24/7, & drowning in self awareness but unable to change. Inside this episode, Christine shares: What it’s rea...

I'm feeling it right now. We're gonna quickly throw it on the podcast because I want women to know that it's possible. In this conversation, I'm sharing what one of my one-on-one clients said to me after six months of working together. I talk about the trap every working mom falls into, why we're trying to take a top-down approach to a bottom-up problem, and the secret to...

I've had this conversation no less than six times this week already. And because of that, I was like, okay, this is also something I used to struggle with, and sometimes I still struggle with it. So I think it's worth bringing it on the podcast. In this conversation, I'm talking about when we find ourselves eating more than what we actually need and using food to cope. I share the b...
