Send us Fan Mail Season 2: Episode 8 - Unfiltered Grief: Why We Need to Stop Censoring the Conversation This episode comes straight from the heart. I’m diving into a topic that’s been weighing on me for a little while — the way we’ve started to censor how we talk about grief, loss, and especially suicide. If we are not careful it will become less about connection and more about correctness. And th...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 21: Choose Your Circle Wisely In this episode of Why Mindset Matters , I’m diving into something that’s been absolutely crucial in my own healing and growth journey — the power of choosing your circle wisely.

Send us Fan Mail Episode 18: I Wrote a Book! In this episode, I open up about how my journey of resilience after losing my daughter, Rylee, not only shaped every part of who I am today but also led me to write a book that I believe would benefit anyone brave enough to read it.  For the longest time after losing Rylee, anytime I’d share pieces of my story people would respond by saying “How the f c...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 17: The Stories That Keep Us Stuck In this episode of Why Mindset Matters , I get real about the stories we cling to — the ones that feel safe but quietly keep us stuck in self-imposed prisons we more commonly refer to as comfort zones.

Send us Fan Mail Episode 16 : Freedom From Attachment In this episode of Why Mindset Matters , I’m diving into something that’s been both one of my hardest lessons and deepest teachers — attachment.

Send us Fan Mail Episode 15: Why “It’s Okay to Not Be Okay” Isn’t the Whole Truth In this episode, I dive into the complexities of grief and the widely accepted phrase, “It’s okay to not be okay.” And while I understand the intention behind it, I’m challenging that narrative — because I don’t actually believe we’ve mastered what it truly means. When someone says they’re not okay, the instinct — wh...

Send us Fan Mail Episode 13: Redefining Happiness In this episode of Why Mindset Matters , I explore how my definition of happiness has radically shifted since losing my daughter, Rylee.

Send us Fan Mail Episode 12: Overcoming Imposter Syndrome In this episode, I’m speaking straight to the part of you that’s doubting your worth. The part that causes you to procrastinate or self-sabotage and in doing so get in the way of your own success.

Send us Fan Mail Episode 11: Why Comparison Is the Thief of Joy In this episode of Why Mindset Matters , we’re digging into something that silently creeps in and chips away at our peace and our capacity for joy: comparison.

Send us Fan Mail Episode 10: No One Is Coming In this unapologetic and soul-stirring episode, I’m calling it like it is — NO ONE is coming to save you . Not the partner, the parent, the job, or the fairytale ending.
