Sometimes rediscovering yourself looks deep and meaningful. And sometimes it looks like putting on leopard-print pants, sweating through your armpits, and walking down a runway. 😂 Because sometimes the best things happen when we simply say yes. 💰GREENLIGHT: Earn $30 when you sign up for Greenlight using the following link - https://share.greenlight.com/181376382 With the money app and debit card for kids and teens, we can send our kids money instantly, assign chores, and teach them to earn,

Lately, I've been feeling more irritable, impatient, and short-tempered than usual, and honestly, I don't really know why. So today, I'm inviting you for an honest conversation about emotions, motherhood, stress, guilt, repair, and what it feels like when the people we love sometimes get the overflow of what we're carrying.

2026/09/16

This week, my 11 year old son, Bruce, played his very first baseball game. And as his mom, I walked away from that field thinking about so much more than baseball. I decided to sit down with Bruce and ask him about why he wanted to play baseball, what he's learning, what's been hard, what he wants to improve, and what he's looking forward to this season. If you're standing at your own starting line right now, I hope Bruce's first baseball game reminds you to step up to the plate. You don't ...

2026/09/09

Have you ever looked at another woman’s life and suddenly felt like you were behind? I certainly have. In this episode, I’m talking about the sneaky way comparison can make us feel like we’re failing simply because someone else appears to be farther ahead. I’m reminding myself (and you!) that someone else’s timeline is not a deadline for our own. We can be grateful for where we are, want more for ourselves, and still trust that we are exactly where we need to be in this season. 📖

2026/09/02

Dolly Parton was so much more than a country music legend. She was a reminder of what can happen when we stop trying to become someone else and start becoming more fully ourselves. If you've been feeling like you've lost a little piece of yourself in the chaos of motherhood, this one is for you. You don't have to become somebody else. You just have to start becoming more YOU. 💰GREENLIGHT: Earn $30 when you sign up for Greenlight using the following link -

2026/08/26

I don't think moms need another self care checklist. I think we need permission to admit we're exhausted. In this episode, I'm talking about the difference between neglecting ourselves and simply admitting that we're tired. I'm reminding us that we can love our families deeply and still need a break, be grateful and overwhelmed, and feel incredibly fulfilled and completely exhausted all at the same time. Maybe taking care of ourselves sometimes means doing something for ourselves. And maybe...

2026/08/19

I think perfectionism has robbed me of more joy than failure ever has. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the perfectionism I didn’t always recognize in myself and how easily it can disguise itself as “high standards,” preparation, ambition, or simply wanting to do things well. If you’ve been stuck, overthinking, procrastinating, comparing, or quietly wondering if you’re doing enough, I hope this conversation makes you feel a little less alone. You don’t have to do it perfect...
