Episodes

91. Full Moon, Full Hair, & Full Life 28.06.2026

Ironically... this episode is about a month late. Not because I forgot.
Not because I didn't care. But because life got... full. I EVEN CHANGED THE TITLE TO REFLECT THAT FACT I actually recorded this on May 31, fully intending to release it right away. Then life kept life-ing. Maybe that's the point. This episode is chockfull of stuff - of wants - of expressions - of education and lots of...

90. Minisode #1 28.06.2026

Okay... this one's been a long time coming. I've been trying to string together the real next episode, but life has been... LIFE. So instead, here's a quick mini-sode. How much can one woman squeeze into ten minutes? Apparently... a lot: Reiki II certification Toastmasters Grocery shopping A reminder that I owe y'all more episodes Intentionality requires purposeful thought, repetition, and plannin...

89. Unhinged or Wildly Aligned? 13.05.2026

This episode is layered across three different days… three different moods… three different versions of me asking the same question: Am I unhinged… or is what looks like “crazy” actually alignment? Is my alignment unhinged… or perfectly attuned to the woman I’m becoming? I dance freely in this episode. I laugh. I process in real time. And by the end… I’m tired AF… but also clearer. This trilogy cl...

88. Dogs really DO eat homework! 30.04.2026

A couple days past due and a few technical difficulties later, I present: DOGS REALLY DO EAT HOMEWORK! So… I got a puppy. Or rather… my son got a puppy.
But let’s be honest… we all know how that goes. In this episode, I share the very real, very expensive adventures of life with Nova… from chewed cords to “how did you even get that?” moments… and the gentle reminder that she’s just doing what pupp...

87. Overstimulated AF 19.04.2026

Not every moment is polished. Not every version of me shines as bright. This space… it’s a little softer, a little heavier… a little less than ready. I reflect on misread moments: the spaces between what’s intended and what’s received… and how easily we can be misunderstood… or misunderstand others. There’s something here about how our minds work: the cues we catch and the ones we don’t… and the s...

86. When the DELULU gets to you! 01.04.2026

This one is a ride. I talk about marriage… about loving someone who is your opposite… about being mad and then somehow being more mad that they’re mad too. I own my delulu a little. Or a lot. I talk about confidence as a decision… about being gifted, being worthy of reciprocity… about remembering who you were before the world told you who to be. About being the muse… the anchor… the chaos… the mag...

85. Sales 101/Dating 102 28.03.2026

In this episode, I get honest about something we don’t talk about enough… the quiet temptation of self-sabotage. The ways we almost pull back. Almost shrink. Almost undo the very thing we prayed for. I share vulnerably about sales and dating, and how both reveal the same truth about worth, confidence, rejection, and resilience. What are you really selling? What are you really settling for? And whe...

84. 5 Hours Later... 26.03.2026

Jacob & I got stuck an extra day in ATL during the whole TSA issue at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport- we might have even made the news! We were not going to duplicate the delay of the previous day, so our next attempt brought us to the airport 5 HOURS EARLY to ensure our safe return to our babies.... This is a quick little episode because I had TO TELL SOMEONE! What a RIDE! A...

83. Braveheart 25.03.2026

Some of the best scenes and moments of inspiration are in the film, Braveheart. It's seriously one of my favorites. On the love side... on the war side... on the intentional side... I mean!!!! There's true love's kiss, betrayal, vengeance, friendship, excellent cinematography, sweeping music scores, heartbreak and heart ache and heart soaring moments... ALL. IN. ONE. Here, I share some...

82. By Any Other Name 19.03.2026

In this mini-episode, I reflect and connect words of one of the most famous plays to the names of God. There are differing ways people connect to God- in the names used to describe and identify… in the existence of different beliefs, theologies… etc. I talk about God as more than one thing… not limited… not boxed in… not just one expression, but ALL- masculine AND feminine. This morning, something...

81. What if...? 17.03.2026

This episode starts with wild hair and zero apologies. It is wash day… and I show up anyway. Fully me. From there, I let my mind wander out loud. I question things I do not fully understand… like how the earth spins. And in that curiosity, I explore how belief is formed… even when it sounds a little wild. I laugh. A lot. At myself… at the thoughts that pop in… at the randomness of it all. And some...

80. Do you boo! 07.03.2026

In this episode I bounce through a few different thoughts and moments from life, but they all land in the same place: I am doing this imperfectly. Every episode is proof of that! There are people who do this better than I do. Better production. Better structure. Better polish. What I bring is something else. I bring vulnerability. I bring connection. I bring the ability to sit with people and be r...

79. Publish Anyway 07.03.2026

I sat down to record and started opening up… and then life showed up. Two little humans. Phone calls... incoming and outgoing. A garage door opening mid-thought. Flyaway hair doing whatever it wanted. No intro. No outro. No perfect plan. Just a real moment in the middle of a very real life. This episode is a reminder that sometimes the message doesn’t arrive wrapped in polish. Sometimes it arrives...

78. User Error 05.03.2026

Sometimes the problem isn’t the plan. Sometimes it’s… 'U' as in User error. In this episode I talk about the moments when we realize we’ve been moving in the wrong direction- not literally down the road, but in the quiet decisions we make every day- the lists we create, the priorities we assign, the stories we tell ourselves about what matters most. I reflect on how easily we can mislabel...

77. Lumens Lumening, part 2 05.03.2026

Part 2 recorded moments after the call that interrupted the first half.. I'm discussing more products and giving it the flair that only I can do... I experience a live epiphany as to why people do UNBOXING videos... HELLO! They're fun!!!

76. Lumens Lumening, part 1 05.03.2026

Okay y'all - this was the start of a fun episode until I got interrupted by an important phone call. I totally forgot key components of my podcast framework, lol, but brought you product and service reviews like only I could. Then I recorded part 2.

75. DO IT NOW! 27.02.2026

If you’re waiting to feel ready… stop. This is the interruption. In this episode, I break down D.O.I.T. — not as motivation, but as mechanics. Discipline. Identity. Movement. This is about cutting through doubt, fear, and the bad habits that keep you negotiating with your future.

74. Starting Over 15.02.2026

I recorded a 60+ minute AMAZING episode and when I stopped it, it disappeared. It was NOT captured and this REDO- this TAKE TWO- does capture that disappointment, not that I really TRIED to showcase it... Eventually, I MOSTLY recover and share a fraction (literally) of the previous gems... lol... Here, I am sincere. Here, I am imperfect. Here, I am vulnerable. Here, I am starting over.... in the h...

73. Choosing the Story That Heals 04.02.2026

This episode is about comparison, timing, and the stories we tell ourselves when life feels behind. About slowing down, staying in your lane, and choosing the story that heals… even when the old one feels familiar or comfortable and feeds the desire to be joined in the muck and the mire of your feelings. I transform misery loves company into choosing a story that supports your heart, your mind, an...

72. XRAY mode 02.02.2026

If y'all are watching this - BE-WARE! Xray mode is pretty trippy. It's been a little bit since I've graced you with my presence and that was not by design... life was lifing and I was in the middle of it... In this moment I share conspiracy and a parental moment and the fact that my current day plan is to BREAK THE HABIT OF BEING MYSELF...

71. Dream Board 09.01.2026

This is a conversation about intention, faith, memory, and the quiet courage it takes to name what you truly want… and to believe it’s allowed. Unscripted. Unfiltered. Tender in places. A glimpse into how I hold my future… one page at a time.

70. Presence Over Perfection 08.01.2026

Why do resolutions often fade? Why does real change ask for more? I share how this theme shows up in parenting, partnership, and the relationship I’ve learned to have with myself. How presence keeps us in the now. How perfection pulls us out of it. There’s humor here. ADHD moments. Owning mistakes. Apologizing without defense. Letting old versions of ourselves rest (die) so something truer can eme...

69. What Friendship Is Quietly Asking 07.01.2026

My morning was filled with the sound of a blood curdling scream by none other than my 3 year old toddler. Not in defiance. Not in misbehavior. Just sheer exhaustion. And in hearing it, I recognized something so many of us carry quietly: an unspoken scream, an unraveling nervous system held on by a thread. I talk about parenting, partnership, and the quiet power of presence. About how support chang...

68. Between Worlds 04.01.2026

I lean into the space between worlds. Between what we’re taught and what we quietly know. Between belief, intuition, and the moments when truth arrives without asking permission. I reflect on spirituality, faith, and the tenderness required when old structures no longer hold what the soul is trying to become. There is conversation here about kindness that transcends doctrine, about inherited patte...

67. Still Winning 03.01.2026

This episode is a real-time win. Not the polished kind. The honest kind. It’s about progress that doesn’t wait for readiness. About winning while you’re still sorting things out. About choosing courage over control and trusting that movement creates clarity. I denounce fear out loud. I remove it from my timelines and choose motion anyway. Still winning. Even here.
