What does it really look like to build and rebuild a career while stepping deeper into motherhood? On this episode of Behind The Fold, I sit down with Eleanor Pendleton for an honest conversation about ambition, identity, and trusting your next evolution.

In this episode of Behind the Fold, I’m sharing a reminder I needed myself: to stop waiting for the perfect moment or the perfect version of you to arrive. When life feels messy or uncertain, it’s easy to convince yourself that this isn’t your season, but momentum starts the moment you decide to move, even in small ways. This is an honest pep talk for anyone who feels stuck in the in between. It’s...

In this episode, I’m sharing why protecting your energy has become one of the most critical skills I practice as a leader, especially in motherhood.

In this episode of Behind the Fold, I’m getting honest about something I’ve been navigating lately: the changing definition of capacity in motherhood. Since becoming a mom of two, I’ve noticed how easily I fall into the trap of trying to operate like my pre-kids self. This includes squeezing in “just one more thing,” chasing the illusion of night-time productivity, and forgetting that real capacit...

In today’s episode, I’m talking about the fear of losing relevance, especially during a slow season like mat leave, postpartum, or any major life transition. As I move through this slower chapter myself, I’ve been thinking a lot about what relevance actually means, and how we can stay aligned without constantly chasing visibility or momentum. If you’ve been feeling stuck, behind, or unsure how to...

In today’s episode, I’m diving into a topic that feels incredibly close to home: self-doubt after becoming a mother. As I’ve eased back into work and adjusted to life with two little ones, I’ve realized that decision-making doesn’t come as easily as it used to. The more I reflect on it, the more I understand how motherhood shifts the way we view ourselves and our ability to trust our instincts. I’...

In this week’s episode, I’m reflecting on what it really means to want more while also learning to sit in the “enough-ness” of where we already are. As I ease back into work after maternity leave, I’ve been thinking about how easy it is to fall into the cycle of what’s next, from the next milestone, the next client, to the next big win, without ever stopping to acknowledge how far we’ve come. If y...

Between the naps, dishes, meetings, and mayhem, there’s always a pause that holds the ideas that won’t leave us alone. Maybe it’s a recurring thought, a full-body feeling that you can’t shake, or a whisper that says “do the thing”. In today’s episode of Behind the Fold, I’m getting into what it means to power through your blockages, build up your self-trust muscles, and actually listen to those in...

Welcome back to Behind the Fold! This week’s episode is short, but soul-nourishing. With my parents on their way back to Canada, I’m reflecting on these transitional periods and what it means to live in the “half-finished” season of life, where motherhood, business, and personal identity all seem to be in progress at once. Rather than resist it, I’m exploring what it means to reframe this state of...

This conversation was one of those last-minute, everything-went-sideways kind of recordings. I had planned to sit down and record this ahead of time, but life (and my four-month-old) had other ideas. But the beautiful twist is that the disruption actually gave me the clarity I didn’t know I needed. What started as a rushed attempt to tick something off my to-do list, turned into a deeper reflectio...

This week, I’m pulling back the curtain on a conversation that hit me right between the eyes: a tough-love truth about my people-pleasing patterns from my best friend. We’re talking about the kind of people-pleasing that sneaks into our days without us even noticing, especially in motherhood and business, and how it quietly erodes our peace, our connection, and our sense of self. This isn’t a poli...

You know that quiet feeling in your gut that says… this isn’t it anymore? That maybe the version of success you once craved doesn’t quite fit who you are now? In this solo episode, I’m opening up about the permission I’ve had to give myself lately: to let go of a plan that no longer fits, to release timelines that feel too tight, and to trust that what’s unfolding is meant for this version of me....
