Self(ish) Confidence ·

2025/09/29

Change is inevitable, but navigating transitions with grace requires balancing the bittersweet emotions of growth. When cherished friendships evolve, careers shift, or new roles like parenthood transform our identity, we often find ourselves mourning previous versions of ourselves while simultaneously embracing new possibilities. Many of us fall into the trap of waiting for perfect clarity before taking action toward our dreams. But life rarely works that way. Instead, it offers small nugget...

2025/09/22

Life often has us feeling like we're not enough—not doing enough, not achieving enough, not keeping up with everyone else. But what if the problem isn't you at all? What if you're simply in the wrong environment? This revelation hit me while reading a children's book to my eight-month-old son about sea creatures. I learned that turtles swim quickly in water yet move slowly on land. The metaphor struck me profoundly—imagine a turtle spending its entire life on land, constantly feeling inadequ...

Do you feel constantly overwhelmed by noise, notifications, and never-ending to-do lists? You're not alone in this overstimulated world. Ever notice how a peanut butter smudge on the table or that plant you've been meaning to hang for weeks becomes all you can see? Our modern environment bombards us with stimuli that make it nearly impossible to enjoy the present moment. We're scrolling, consuming, and rushing through life without pausing to breathe.

[EP 282] Putting your ✨SELF✨ back in Self Confidence

Self(ish) Confidence ·

2025/07/07

The world feels chaotic and overwhelming, leaving many of us constantly seeking external validation and guidance. We scroll through social media looking for answers, ask mentors what to do next, and let influencers dictate our choices—gradually disconnecting from the most important voice of all: our own. In this thoughtful exploration of self-trust, we examine how life transitions naturally shake our identity, creating the perfect opportunity to rediscover who we truly are. Whether you're na...

The world feels chaotic lately—there's a buzzing energy that's both exhilarating and exhausting. As summer unfolds with packed calendars and endless activities, many of us find ourselves yearning for space while simultaneously craving connection. This tension reveals a profound truth about human existence: we need our village. The concept of "it takes a village" extends far beyond raising children. At its core, this phrase speaks to our fundamental human need for community in all aspects of ...

[280] Intuition Saved Me—Here’s How to Trust Yours Too

Self(ish) Confidence ·

2025/06/16

Could trusting your gut save your life? For me, it literally did. When my 4-month-old started fussing during a solo road trip, my intuition told me to pull over for a quick stop. Fifteen minutes later, we drove past a horrific accident that had just happened – one that closed the highway for five hours. Had we not made that unplanned stop, the timing would have put us right at that spot when disaster struck. This experience sparked a deep dive into how intuition works differently for ...

Ever felt like you're constantly running to catch up with your own life? That pressure building inside when you keep putting yourself on the back burner? You're not alone. Take a deep breath with me as we explore what I'm calling my "soft mama era" – a season of intentional slowness that's revolutionizing how I approach life, business, and motherhood. This conversation goes far beyond parenting though, touching on universal struggles we face when our plates become impossibly full. Whether y...

Nobody tells you that transformation can happen in the blink of an eye. One year, I was walking away from network marketing into uncertainty; the next, I was speaking on stages and hosting my first retreat. Now, I've just completed my fifth Self(ish) Retreat—my first as a new mom—at the stunning Oceanstone Resort in Nova Scotia. The journey to this retreat was filled with doubt. Could I really pull this off with a four-month-old? Would women get the experience they deserved if I wasn't cooki...

Have you ever looked back at a version of yourself from five years ago and barely recognized that person? Welcome to the beautiful evolution of becoming. When I placed the word "experiment" on my vision board before entering motherhood, I had no idea how powerfully it would reshape my approach to life. Rather than clinging to rigid expectations or perfect outcomes, I've discovered the freedom that comes from approaching each day with curiosity, openness, and a willingness to gather data, adj...

Ever feel like you're juggling too many balls and something's bound to drop? That's exactly where I found myself recently, trying to balance motherhood, business launches, and personal commitments—until I realized the power of pressing pause. Life doesn't always unfold according to our carefully crafted schedules. Sometimes, our 14-week-old decides to have a rough week precisely when we're launching retreats and reopening membership doors. Sometimes, family losses remind us how fragile and p...

What if the limits you feel most constrained by are actually self-imposed? What if following your heart—even when your logical mind resists—is the key to unlocking your truest confidence? Recording with my 12-week-old baby sleeping on my chest, I found myself questioning whether I could successfully multitask motherhood and podcasting. This small moment perfectly mirrors the larger struggle many of us face: the battle between heart and head, between intuition and logic, between what feels ri...

Surrendering to life's seasons requires a special kind of courage that often feels counterintuitive, especially for those of us who crave control. Through my journey of early motherhood, I've discovered something profound: when I finally let go of rigid expectations and embrace the natural flow of baby's timeline, everything feels more magical. This episode explores the unexpected growth that comes when we release our tight grip on life. From navigating postpartum body changes to asking for ...

From angel numbers to meaningful animal encounters to technology seemingly communicating with you (like my rainbow light turning on by itself!), these moments remind us that we're being guided, even when life feels uncertain.

Life's transitions often leave us dangling in "the in-between" – those disorienting periods where we no longer fit our old identity but haven't fully stepped into our new one. Whether you're navigating postpartum changes, career shifts, relationship transformations, or any significant life event, these middle spaces can feel both uncomfortable and sacred. But what if the in-between isn't something to escape? What if it's actually where the most profound transformation happens? When we slow d...

Have you ever felt different, like you don't quite fit the mold society created? What if that "weirdness" is actually your superpower? Drawing inspiration from the movie Wicked, this episode explores how embracing what makes us unique—our personal "green"—can transform our lives and impact the world around us. Fresh from watching Wicked, I've been reflecting on Elphaba's journey and how it mirrors our own struggles with authenticity. Born different and magical, she was taught to hide her tru...

Six weeks into motherhood, I've discovered something surprising: the hard part wasn't birth day—it's every day that follows. Not because it's terrible (though sometimes it is), but because it demands a complete reinvention of who you are and how you move through the world. Whether you're a parent or not, maybe you're also in a season where you can't control much. Where being flexible isn't just helpful—it's necessary for survival. If that's you, I hope this episode reminds you that sometimes...
