The Femme Cast | Your Unbecoming Begins Here

Have you ever struggled with feeling as though, who you are is enough? Do you constantly go above and beyond in your work and in your relationships, hoping that one day people will acknowledge just how valuable you truly are? If so, I totally get it. I’ve been there many times myself. And if I’m being perfectly honest, I still find myself going back there from time to time. And what I’ve learned (...

Have you ever just wished for a do-over?  Have you ever wondered if it was possible to actually just blow your life up and start over again from scratch?  Have you ever dreamed about running away and starting over somewhere, where no one knows anything about you? Somewhere you and your life are literally a blank slate? Somewhere you can create whatever you want? Trust me. I get it. I have totally...

Today was one of those days when the depression and anxiety have just sort of creeped back in. They’ve shown up at the door like a very unwanted and very uninvited guest peeping through the window, right back at you. Such that hiding from them and pretending you’re not home, is no longer an option.  It’s here. It is what it is. It will pass. I know that now. However, I truly believe that it is how...

Many of us have been hard wired to believe that we need to put everyone else's needs first. We’ve been hard wired to believe that this is what we have to do in order to be a good wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, human, etc. I know this was the case for me and for most of the women in my life.  In fact, I did everything I could to be a good human. I worked harder. I did better. I did my...

If there’s anything the last few years have taught me, it’s that the road to massive change and transformation can be challenging, or it can be blissfully easy and enjoyable. It all depends on how you bring about that change and transformation.  That’s why on this episode of TheFemmeCast, I am breaking down exactly how I went about making massive changes in my life quickly and easily, all by makin...

I woke up in quite the funk this morning, and was just sitting in this vibe of longing for all the things! All the goals I’ve set, the things I’ve planned and the intentions I’ve put out into the Universe.  ”Where are they already?! “ Ever get that?  Now, don’t get me wrong, I do see signs that these things are all coming into fruition. Unfortunately though, they are all coming at a snail's p...

I’m not gonna lie. I was seriously struggling!  After 2+ years of an almost completely sedentary lifestyle, I was carrying a lot of excess weight and I had multiple injuries that were creating tons of inflammation and discomfort throughout my body.  I was struggling to work out.  I was struggling to get in shape.  I was struggling to get my ass off the couch to actually do anything about it.  In f...

Being able to truly love and accept yourself is like having a master key that unlocks the entire universe. In fact, all those things that you’ve probably been longing for your entire, the things that you’ve been chasing to the point of exhaustion:  The love The wealth The abundance The joy The key to experiencing all of it, has always been the radical love and acceptance of self. It’s literally th...

This is actually part 2 of the last episode Just Be You where we talked all about being you, owning who you are, taking off the emotional Spanx, and showing up fully in your relationships and your life. Which I can safely from experience, is not an easy thing to do.  That’s why on this episode of TheFemmeCast, I wanted to speak some enthusiasm and excitement into you. I wanted to give you a high v...

Speaking as a recovering people pleaser, the journey to letting go of the need to constantly shape and adjust ourselves according to the world around us, and allowing ourselves to become more ourselves, is not something that happens overnight. It’s a gentle unfolding that happens over time. It’s hard. It’s uncomfortable and it is a hot f*cking mess. That’s why on this episode of TheFemmeCast, I’m...

It so easy to get caught up in all the things that we think we need to be, do or have, in order to live our best life. Making living our best life something that we aspire to do someday, all the while missing every opportunity to start living our best hot mess life today. Like, right now!  I know I was stuck here for far too long. That’s why, on this episode of TheFemmeCast, I walk you through my...

Sometimes, it can literally feel like the world around us is falling apart, and current events can leave us in fear and anxiety of what’s to come. I know I’ve felt that way, and today was definitely one of those days. The worst part about times like this is, how helpless they can make us feel to do anything about it. But the truth is, we are anything but helpless. That’s why on this episode of The...

On this episode of TheFemmeCast, I share vulnerably and in detail about the financial struggle that I experienced throughout my life, and all the shame that was associated with it. I also share with you, my own process for how I moved through and healed that shame, as well as the many ways I was so deeply abandoning and rejecting myself throughout most of my life.  So if you’ve been struggling wit...

On this episode of TheFemmeCast, I share with you all the intimate details about my very own, very real, and very uncomfortable, "Quarantined Christmas.”  Being far from the holiday season that I had planned after 2 years of lockdowns and craziness, it was probably the most healing experience of the year for me. And it would totally have to be, given the tsunami of emotions that it triggered...

On this episode of TheFemmeCast, I chat with author Caroline Nadine Helsing about her new book, Unapologetic: Tales of the Original Party Crasher. The book is based on the life of her mother who recently passed away, and was written as a celebration of her mother and her incredible story. It is also a poignant diary of how Caroline moved through her own grief of losing her.  A strong, larger than...

On this episode of TheFemmeCast, I share with you my personal experience as an empathic people pleaser, and how these two seemingly harmless characteristics have undoubtedly shaped my life and my relationships.  Being an empathic people pleaser is both a blessing and a curse, and trust me when I tell you that I’ve felt both sides of that coin. The blessings include a much deeper understanding of p...

In this episode of TheFemmeCast, I walk you through some of the most powerful healing techniques that I’ve come to rely on in my life. These are the exact same techniques that I’ve turned to, when I myself was the one who needed healing.  But first, let me be clear. There are literally hundreds of healing modalities out there. All of which can easily be used to help you heal from all sorts of thin...

In this episode of TheFemmeCast, I share my own personal experience of how easily and beautifully life unfolded for me when I finally learned to trust my universe, and to follow the little winks and nudges that it was sending me along the way.  Sometimes, we close ourselves off to the unexpected and the unpredictable. We get lost in our own idea of how things should be and how they should unfold....

On this episode of TheFemmeCast, I’m giving myself full permission to be an unapologetic hot mess, because if I'm being completely honest...it’s almost that time of the month for me, and there's just no pretending I am anything but. In fact, I literally just unfolded myself from the blanket wrapped fetal position that I was strategically using to keep my cramps at bay.  But it's kin...

On this episode of TheFemmeCast, I chat with author Emma Burger about body image, addiction, and self-acceptance. For the record, self-acceptance is the art of accepting who you really are, as you are. Imperfections and all. Sadly, this is something that many of us, men and women, have never really been taught how to do. In her new book Spaghetti For Starving Girls, Emma takes you on a journey wit...

On this episode of TheFemmeCast, I explain how constantly trying to think positively about everyone and everything, might be the very thing that’s keeping you stuck, unhealed and disempowered. I know this might sound unreal, considering the many theories and campaigns on positive thinking out there. But hear me out. Done abandoning yourself for everyone else? It's time to come home. Download...

Life is completely starting over for me after 2020, as is this podcast. On this episode of TheFemmeCast, I take this time to run through 2020 and really sit and digest just how insane the year actually was. I go into all the peaks and then valleys that felt more like mountains and trenches, and match that with the wisdom I have gathered along the way to share with you all. Done abandoning yourself...
