Today I chose...

Last weekend I did something I probably wouldn't have chosen on my own — I let my daughter meet my parents, despite not being on speaking terms most of my adult life. In this episode I talk about recognizing that these wounds are mine . I'm choosing not to hand them down to her. She gets to write her own story.

This summer I let curiosity lead my reading choices, rather than forcing myself through a curated list. I'm talking through some of the books I found myself pulled toward — from money mindset deep-dives by the water, to alternative health and wellness books I read purely for the joy of it (no, really). In this episode I talk about the pleasure of listening to fiction audiobooks while doing art...

Making mom friends is not easy, especially when you leave it up to chance. This week I'm telling you all about how I've been putting myself out there instead of hoping people will just happen to befriend me. Plus a quick detour into broken windows theory, feng shui, and why I've been fixing everything broken in my apartment. Spoiler — it's working.

My toddler is going through a challenging phase lately. There's been a lot of tantrums and big emotions to navigate, and let me tell you... it is not easy. In this episode I talk through some of my strategies to shift her mood, how I try my best to remain calm when her tantrums hit some of my biggest triggers, and what I do to repair things when I let my own emotions take over. You don't h...

Eight days into my daily twenty-minute workout commitment, and I'm already noticing what it's doing for my body and my mindset. In this episode I'm talking about ditching the all-or-nothing mentality, what decorating the delay means, and why a small consistent choice beats a big one you never actually make.

Season one taught me I could choose consciously. Season two is about getting specific and creating my life with purpose. In this episode I talk about my refined goals for this season. I came up with 4 main pillars I'll be focusing on, and talk you through them. Today I chose to stop being vague about what I want. New episodes every Monday!

For the last episode of season 1, I chose to tell you about the 3 major conscious choices I've made that changed the trajectory of my life. I also revisit episode 1 and the goals I laid out for this first season, and the progress I've made through conscious, aligned choices. This episode wraps up season one and gives you a glimpse of what's coming in season 2 — starting August 31st. I...

Everyone has got an opinion about the choices you make. But here's the thing- none of it matters. In this episode I talk about how I've started using a controversial tool, and how it's working well for me in ways I never expected. This episode is for you if you second guess yourself every time you heard an opposing opinion about what your choosing.

Do you wait until you're burnt out to accept help? Then this episode is for you. I used to do the same, until I realized it made me an ineffective parent and person in general. I would get distracted, overwhelmed, and impatient. Now I recognize the importance of accepting help, and I ask for it more than I think I "need." I give myself various types of rest as well- time for fun and...

In today's episode I recall the process of resuscitating a plant. I realized that in order to bring the plant back, I had to strip back everything that wasn't serving it. This brought me to thinking about my journey in creating this podcast and how far I've come. New episodes every Monday!

Today's episode is about the day I almost lost it over a tantrum, and the moment I realized the anger bubbling up wasn't really about her . It was my dad's voice, decades old, trying to run the show. This is what it actually looks like to break a generational pattern in real time — messy, imperfect, and worth it. If you're contending with your own patterns that are most definitely...

If the mother’s emotional state is the anchor of her family, shouldn’t her cycle be the compass this guides them? This week I talk about my current life-admin project that has lead me to consider this question. I discuss how cycle syncing your life, as well as your family’s just might be world changing. I release new episodes every Monday. Follow the podcast to keep up with the latest choices I am...

If you never appreciate what you accomplish, what's the point? This week's episode is an audio time-capsule of me feeling good and reveling in my successful completion of some big tasks for the podcast. I chose to capture how proud I felt this week, so I can revisit that feeling and hopefully inspire you to be proud of your own wins as well.

Have you found yourself ruminating and wish you could just shut it off? I certainly do. In this episode I discuss how a conversation left me down a deep hole of self-judgment. I chose to invest the mental bandwidth I was wasting on over-thinking into getting stuff DONE. The shifts it made were just what I needed to not only get out of that self-judgment hole, but also over the slump I had been in...

When we take a hard look at our struggles, sometimes we can trace their origins back to ourselves . This week, while brainstorming how to improve some of my motherhood struggles, I realized I was the problem all along. I take a brutally honest look at the habits I've carried over from my more impulsive years. Reassessing how my time management shortcomings are quietly keeping me from becoming...

What if that thing you've wanted to try, is actually the key to changing your life ?! What if listening to your intuition could make you hotter? Last week I talked about the ways I abandon myself, so this week I chose to repair the damage by doing the opposite - I showed up for myself . I did this by writing out all those things I've been wanting to do, and actually doing them. The results...

If we should be advocating for ourselves, what happens when we're actually our own biggest critic ? This week, I talk about the insidious psychological pattern known as self-abandonment, and how I may have found trick to stop it in it's tracks. Is abandoning yourself really a form self-sabotage, to keep you stuck at your baseline level of happiness? Maybe the key to becoming the best versi...

I've been unintentionally signaling to my nervous system that I'm unsafe, and you probably are too. Today I explore the unconscious habits that are wreaking havoc on my well being and talk about the new behaviors I've replaced them with. If you feel dis-regulated and can't pinpoint why, this episode is for you! I discuss how I've accidentally been living in a state of Flight-Fi...

In this episode, I share how a frustrating start to my day could have easily spiraled into a bad day… or even a bad week. But instead of letting that happen, I made a different choice. Not a huge one. Just a small interruption, that lead to more... A walk. Gratitude. Writing. Time outside. And somehow, those small shifts completely changed the trajectory of my day. This episode is about how quickl...

Ever find yourself scrolling, cleaning, or staying busy… just to avoid the moment you’re in? In this episode, I’m unpacking the subtle ways I’ve been numbing out—especially during the harder parts of my day—and how I didn’t even realize how often I was checking out. From toddler tantrums to being “nap-trapped” and lost in endless scrolling, I started to notice how quickly I reach for distractions...

Ever replay a conversation over and over… wondering if you were misunderstood? In this episode, I’m unpacking my habit of over-explaining, overthinking texts, and trying to control how I’m perceived—and what happened when I decided to stop. After sending a message in the middle of a conflict, I resisted the urge to follow up, clarify, or fix it… and sat in the discomfort of not knowing how it was...

In this episode, I’m talking about self-sabotage—specifically the kind that shows up as self-doubt when you’re about to put yourself out there. I recorded this the week I launched the podcast, and almost immediately, my mind went into overdrive. I started imagining what people would think, questioning whether any of it mattered, and preparing myself to quietly walk away before anyone else could ju...

In this episode, I’m talking about what happened when I stopped filtering myself—and how it came out all wrong. For a long time, I’ve defaulted to people-pleasing. Staying quiet, avoiding conflict, and prioritizing other people’s needs over my own. But when that pattern finally broke, it didn’t look like calm, clear communication. It looked like everything coming out at once. What I thought would...

In the first episode of Today I Chose , I’m starting where I am... by choosing to put myself out there. This is a podcast about the small, daily choices that quietly shape our lives. I know that becoming the version of myself I’m most proud of starts with making those choices from a more conscious, aligned place. I'm on a quest to do just that and document how it shifts my life. I invite you t...

In this episode of Today I Chose , I’m choosing to mother myself. It’s a concept that felt a little abstract at first… until I started noticing all the ways I’ve been neglecting my own needs. From sleep to self-talk to physical care, this week forced me to look at how I’ve been showing up for myself... and where I’ve been falling short. This isn’t about doing everything perfectly. It’s about learn...
