2026/03/31

I open up about the “good mom trap” and why so many of us feel exhausted, resentful, and disconnected even though we’re doing “all the right things.” I explain that our real issue usually isn’t time, it’s permission—our nervous system has learned that constant busyness equals safety and goodness, while rest and pleasure feel selfish or even dangerous. Drawing on polyvagal theory, I share how past experiences and subconscious patterns train us to stay on the hamster wheel, chasing praise and

I share a wild story about my body and my relationship with my mom. After almost two years without a period, I was convinced I was in menopause—I'd started HRT, talked about it on the podcast, and mentally moved into that next phase of life. Then I had a 49‑years‑in‑the‑making, honest, loving but unfiltered conversation with my mom where I finally said everything I’d been holding inside.

2026/02/17

I use this Momplex episode to share some of the most humbling lessons I’ve learned as a mom and to call BS on the idea that we have to be perfect. For years, I believed that every mistake meant I was failing and that everyone was judging me and my kids. I now see mistakes as feedback, not proof that I’m a bad mom. Backed by neuroplasticity and growth mindset, I talk about how our brains—and our lives—are always capable of change. I share real stories about chasing gold stars, comparing my kids to
