118. The Real Point of Self-Development

Our Modern Emotional Lives ·

2025/10/31

Lately, I've been thinking about what all this personal growth work is really for. Every book, class, retreat, or new habit we try seems to have one job to return us to who we really are. In this episode, I talk about why authenticity is the true point of self-development and how so many midlife women lose touch with their natural compass. I'll share what blocks authenticity, from people-pleasing and perfectionism to the nervous system patterns that make truth feel unsafe. And I'll walk you through

117. Letting Go of the "Shoulds"

Our Modern Emotional Lives ·

2025/10/10

My Feel Better class is in session right now, and we’re talking about what it means to live from the inside out and to decide for yourself what you want to think instead of looking outside for the right answer. It’s not easy, because most of us were raised to follow an invisible rulebook of what we should and shouldn’t do, and who we’re supposed to be. In this episode, I talk about what happens when we stop living by invisible rulebooks and start living from the inside out. You’ll hear how “shoulds”

116. Imagining Your Future Self in Times of Uncertainty

Our Modern Emotional Lives ·

2025/09/12

The other day I was cleaning up old files on my computer and stumbled across a video from April 2020, right at the beginning of the pandemic. In that conversation, a friend shared how she wanted to launch her coaching practice but felt paralyzed by fear. She told me she’d wait until the world felt safer and more predictable before taking action. At the time that sounded logical, but five years later I realized how familiar that thought still feels. Life is uncertain, and it’s easy to believe we

You know those times when everything looks fine on the outside, but inside you feel heavy, restless, or just not yourself? That’s where I found myself this past week walking the beautiful streets of Washington, D.C., enjoying great food and weather, yet carrying this undercurrent of dread from all the news streaming in.

2025/08/15

You know that moment when you step outside, feel the air on your skin, and it’s like a weight you didn’t even know you were carrying suddenly lifts? In this episode, we talk about why that happens not just because nature is beautiful, but because you are nature, and finding your way back to it is really finding your way back to yourself. I share how our modern lives have pulled us away from our authentic nature, and why leaning back into who you really are at your own pace, with your own gifts, and

Our Modern Emotional Lives ·

2025/07/18

I’ve been sitting with the intensity of what’s happening in the world right now, and it’s clear to me that the disruption we’re witnessing is an invitation. An invitation to evolve and grow as a species. We need to finally start leading from wisdom rather than fear. In this episode, I take a wide-angle view of the chaos and ask what role each of us is meant to play. I explore how we’ve overvalued masculine energy and underappreciated the feminine. I emphasize how rebalancing these forces in our own
