Fearlessly Becoming

✨ Becoming with Atiya: Intuition, Astrology, and the Unseen We’re kicking off the Month of Magic with a conversation that’s equal parts wonder and wisdom. Atiya — an intuitive and lifelong student of astrology, tarot, and energy work — joins me to talk about her spiritual journey and how she’s learned to trust and share her natural gifts. From intuitive nudges to Reiki 101 and astrology basics, w...

✨ Becoming Aligned: My Spiritual Journey & a Month of Magic ✨ In this solo episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on my own spiritual journey—how it unfolded, the ways my grandpa continues to show up in my life, and how I’ve come to embrace the witchy, mystical side of myself. With October’s Month of Magic ahead, this conversation sets the tone for what’s to come: exploring connection, intuit...

This week on Fearlessly Becoming , I sit down with Kjersti — a two-time breast cancer survivor, personal stylist consultant, and all-around force of honesty. Her story is about so much more than “biddies check your titties.” Kjersti opens up about navigating life during and after cancer: the depression, the symptoms, how she was able to keep her nipples, and the raw reality of recovery that often...

In Part 2 of the great kidney stone saga, we finally cross the finish line of this wild ride. From Omaha to Lincoln, ER visits to unexpected plot twists, and plenty of laughter in between—this episode is the wrap-up you didn’t know you needed. But beyond the chaos and comedy, we also pause to reflect on what the experience taught us—about friendship, showing up when it matters most, and finding hu...

This week, I’m joined by my two of my besties - Jenn & Justy - for Part One of the kidney stone saga of August . (Yes, it’s as chaotic as it sounds.) We rewind to how we all ended up at the concert together, the Omaha adventures that kicked it all off, and the first phase of the rollercoaster before heading back to Lincoln. It’s light, hilarious, and the kind of conversation where you’ll feel...

This week on Fearlessly Becoming , I’m joined by the incredible Dr. Jess Daigle—board-certified pediatrician, NICU hospitalist, NICU mom, public speaker, and author of Anchored in Hope . Our conversation goes far beyond titles and credentials. Together, we dive into: ✨ Parenting through the NICU lens and what it means to walk that journey both as a doctor and a mother. ✨ The raw realities of rai...

In the final episode of this Fearlessly Becoming mini-series with Maranda Stuhr, we explore the Time Technique —a powerful process designed to release lingering emotions from the past. Together, we focus on clearing two of the heaviest ones many of us carry: anger and sadness . Through guided work, you’ll hear how these emotions can be acknowledged, released, and transformed—creating more space fo...

In this episode, I sit down with coach + energy worker Maranda Stuhr to experience The Emotion Code in real time. Together, we process 12 different emotions held in my heart wall —old, unprocessed feelings that have been quietly shaping the way I see and move through the world. The Emotion Code is a powerful tool designed to identify and release stuck emotions from the subconscious. These emotions...

This week, we’re not just talking about Subconscious Release Technique — we’re doing it.

In this introductory conversation, we explore Maranda’s personal journey into healing, and get a primer on the three energetic modalities we’ll be diving into together this month: Subconscious Release Technique (SRT), Em...

This one is personal. In this episode of Fearlessly Becoming, I sit down with someone who shaped my story long before I ever had the words to tell it — my dad, Dr. Deryl. A former professor and lifelong learner, my dad was diagnosed with dementia and Alzheimer’s a few years ago. This conversation is a tender, unscripted look at how he’s processing the changes, what he's still discovering about lif...

From Husker legend to Olympian to pro athlete, Jordan Larson has lived much of her life in the spotlight—but in this episode, we go beyond the medals and the titles to talk about the woman behind it all. We dig (volleyball pun very much intended) into dating and relationships, identity beyond the labels, navigating life’s pivots and challenges, and finding peace from within (even when the world fe...

This week, we’re talking intuition—the times we listen to it, and the times… we don’t. I’m sharing two stories that still stick with me: one where I said yes to an engagement I knew deep down wasn’t right, and another where I hit a deer after ignoring a clear nudge to stay put. It’s about the moments that teach us to trust ourselves, even when it’s uncomfortable. Because becoming isn’t always grac...

This week on Fearlessly Becoming, I’m joined by Sam Thomson Hall—founder of Welcome Mama, fitness pro turned entrepreneur, and fellow Orangetheory alum—for a conversation that covers matrescence (yes, we explain what it is and how to say it), identity shifts, motherhood, spiritual awakenings, and staying grounded in a loud world. Welcome Mama is launching their Girlhood Collection this month! Foll...

Sure, July 4th is about America’s independence — but let’s talk about yours. In this episode, I kick things off with a little history (because yes, I was a history major), then dive into a personal pattern I’m ready to break up with. We talk loneliness disguised as connection, why I’ve initiated (and ended) every relationship but one, and how declaring emotional independence is a process — not a p...

In this week's episode, I had the absolute honor of sitting down with someone who’s as real as they come — Aaron Davis. You might know him as a keynote speaker, cancer survivor, national champion from Nebraska’s legendary 1994 football team, or simply the guy who walks into a room and makes everyone believe they’re capable of more. What you might not know is just how deeply Aaron’s story lands — n...

This week, I’m handing the mic over to… you. I asked for your questions, and let’s just say y’all did not hold back. In this episode, I answer everything from the thoughtful to the hilarious to the mildly uncomfortable (growth happens in the discomfort, right?!). It’s unfiltered, a little all over the place, and very on brand.

In this deeply personal solo episode, I’m sharing the part of my story that’s often whispered about but rarely spoken out loud - the unraveling of my marriage, my experience with infidelity, and what it’s taken to rebuild from the inside out. This episode isn’t about justifying decisions or seeking sympathy. It’s about radical honesty, the weight of shame, the complexity of healing, and how we fin...

In this episode of Fearlessly Becoming, I sit down with my ex-husband, Aaron, for a raw and honest conversation about our marriage, divorce, and the journey of co-parenting over the past five years. We talk about the hard stuff - decisions, growth, healing - and how we've worked to build a relationship rooted in honesty, respect, and the well-being of our kids. It’s not about blame or drama, but a...

Welcome to the very first episode of Fearlessly Becoming ! On today's episode, it’s just you and me. I’m sharing a bit of my story—the messy, beautiful, real parts that led me here—and laying the foundation for what this podcast is all about. We’ll talk about why becoming isn’t a destination, why doing it fearlessly matters, and what you can expect from future episodes. Get cozy, buckle up, and le...
