Permission To Be

This week we’re talking about something most women have experienced… but almost no one says out loud: when real life starts to look like the movie Mean Girls. Because it’s actually pretty easy for women to show up for other women when they’re struggling. But when a woman starts thriving? That’s when things can get a little weird. In this episode we talk about the subtle comparison, the moments tha...

In this episode, we’re just being honest about the absolute chaos that can be perimenopause. From brain fog to random ovulation pain in places you didn’t know could hurt, to the very glamorous reality of pelvic floors that have been through a lot — nothing is off limits in this conversation. We talk about the things women experience but rarely say out loud: the hormonal rollercoaster, the weird bo...

In this episode, we’re talking about what it looks like when you’re in a really hard season of life… and you don’t get to pause everything else while you move through it. The grief. The overwhelm. The chaos. The very real reality of trying to keep showing up for your kids, your partner, your work — all while feeling like you’re barely holding it together behind the scenes. We share what this seaso...

In this episode, we’re talking about something that started as a fun escape… and ended up having a much bigger impact than either of us expected. We dive into how getting into romance audiobooks has shifted the way we think about connection, communication, and intimacy — not just in our relationships with our partners, but in our friendships and with ourselves. What began as entertainment turned i...

Consider this week’s podcast the group chat you’ve been longing to be part of. The one where nothing is too polished, no one is pretending to have it all figured out, and the conversation goes exactly where it needs to go. We talk about the real messy middle. Things like how hormones actually affect relationships, what being present as a parent looks like when you’re overstimulated and tired, how...

Making friends as an adult shouldn’t feel this complicated… and yet it does. In this episode, we’re talking honestly about adult friendships — why they feel harder, more emotional, and more fragile than we ever expected, and why so many women quietly feel lonely even when their lives look “full.” We talk about how friendships change as we move through different seasons of life, why proximity matte...

Your Triggers Are Your Teachers Most of us think getting triggered means we’re failing at healing… or maturity… or emotional regulation. In this episode, we talk about why that’s not true at all. We explore the idea that your triggers aren’t proof that something is wrong with you; they’re information. They’re clues. They’re invitations to understand yourself more deeply and show up differently in...

Somewhere along the way, a lot of moms were taught that being a “good mother” means disappearing. That exhaustion is noble. That rest has to be earned. That wanting more makes you selfish. In this episode, we talk about the quiet martyrdom so many women are living inside of — the kind where you give everything to your kids, your family, your home… and slowly lose yourself in the process. We get ho...

At some point in almost every long-term relationship, something quietly shifts. You’re still a team. You’re still functional. You still love them… But suddenly your spouse feels more like a roommate than a lover... and no one quite knows how it happened. In this episode, we’re talking honestly about that “roommate phase” so many couples find themselves in, especially in the thick of parenting, res...

As we close out 2025, we’re reflecting on a year that stretched us, cracked us open, and changed us in ways we didn’t see coming. In this episode, we talk honestly about what it looks like to move out of victim mentality and into awareness — especially as parents, partners, and humans trying to heal without passing our stuff down to our kids. We unpack the difference between control, influence, an...

In this episode, we’re taking “we listen, we don’t judge” into the most beautiful, chaotic season of all — the holidays. Because motherhood in December is a paradox: it’s magical and it’s maddening. It’s heart-melting and overstimulating. You can love creating the memories while simultaneously wondering why the entire success of the season seems to rest on your shoulders. We talk about the invisib...

It’s our very first episode of Permission to Be , and we’re diving straight into the chaos — motherhood, identity loss, hormones, overstimulation, and all the things no one puts in the brochure. We talk about why so many moms feel like they’ve lost themselves, why the messy middle is where most of us actually live, and why laughing at the absurdity of it all might be the real medicine. There’s hon...
