The Imperfect Prophet: A Podcast for Women Who Wonder

Send us Fan Mail This week, I found myself connecting a few things that don't seem to belong together at first glance: America's 250th birthday, something my childhood neighbor Mrs. Kirk used to say, a caterpillar becoming a butterfly, and a question my husband asked that stopped me in my tracks. Together, they reminded me that life isn't about arriving at some polished, finished ve...

Send us Fan Mail If life has taught me anything, it's that avoiding discomfort doesn't actually spare us from pain. It just lets us choose the kind that quietly keeps us stuck. In this milestone 100th episode, I'm reflecting on the aches that come with getting older, the surprising lessons I've learned on a yoga mat, and why healing often asks us to trade familiar discomfort fo...

Send us Fan Mail After every great adventure comes something we don't celebrate nearly enough: coming home. I've realized that unpacking a suitcase is easy, but unpacking everything we've experienced takes a little more time. In this episode, I share why the quiet days after life's biggest moments aren't empty at all. They're where gratitude settles in, lessons begin...

Send us Fan Mail The truth is, inspiration rarely arrives with a spotlight and a drumroll. It usually sneaks in through an ordinary conversation, an offhand comment, or a moment that almost went unnoticed. That's how so many of these episodes begin. This week, I'm sharing why the people we meet, the stories we hear, and even the smallest interactions can become unexpected teachers-if we&...

Send us Fan Mail I never expected a simple reminder to keep feet and knees off the furniture to send me wandering through memories, family stories, and questions about the rules we inherit. As I reflected on my grandmother's beloved furniture and the lessons hidden beneath those household rules, I realized that many of us spend our lives carrying traditions we never stop to examine. Some dese...

Send us Fan Mail Grief has a funny way of showing up when we least expect it. Sometimes it arrives at a funeral. Sometimes it appears in the middle of a life transition, when we're letting go of a role, a dream, or a version of ourselves we've outgrown. After attending a military funeral for a dear friend's husband, I found myself reflecting on the sacred work of grieving—not just t...

Send us Fan Mail After attending a Phoenix Mercury game with very little basketball knowledge and a whole lot of curiosity, I started realizing how often we avoid new spaces because we’re afraid of looking uninformed, awkward, or out of place. But somewhere between the sneakers, sequins, halftime dancers, missed shots, and roaring crowd energy, I was reminded that life expands when we stop needing...

Send us Fan Mail When someone tells you to “just breathe,” I don’t know about you, but sometimes I want to lovingly roll my eyes straight into another dimension. In this conversation, I unpack why breath is more than fluffy wellness advice and how it’s helped me through everything from labor pains to stage fright to those moments when life feels like an emotional roller coaster with no safety bar....

Send us Fan Mail After hearing a venture capitalist speaker casually mention the idea of “Re-Potting Yourself” at a conference, I couldn’t stop thinking about how people need re-potting too, and somehow that led me straight home to my pothos plant. As I untangled roots, moved the plant into a new container, and watched what happened next, I started thinking about the ways we outgrow spaces, routin...

Send us Fan Mail I invite you to slip on your boldest self and come with me into what I’m calling the sassy sixties —a season where showing up matters more than fitting in. When I found myself at a concert surrounded by people half my age, I could’ve shrunk… but instead, I got curious. I explore what it means to walk into rooms where you don’t quite “match,” and how that discomfort is often the do...
