Unlearning who you had to be to survive.

Getting to know yourself while becoming.

In this episode, we're talking about what it really means to get to know yourself... especially if you didn't feel like you could be your whole self when you were younger.  If you're feeling lost, overwhelmed, or seriously disconnected from who you are, you are not alone.  We explore: * Why finding yourself can feel like pressure * What it means to meet yourself * How reconnecting with your younger self can provide clarity * Gentle ways to get to know yourself without forcing answers This episode is especially for the girls in their 20s, the eldest daughters, the cycle breakers, and anyone learning how to listen to themselves (probably for the first time). -------------------------------------------------------- Join the community [https://discord.gg/q3RxsdMB]!

Unlearning who you had to be to survive.

In this episode, I'm talking about what it means to unlearn who you had to be in order to survive and to feel loved. Growing up, many of us learned early how to stay safe: by being strong, accomplished, agreeable, and quiet with our feelings. Sometimes that meant carrying grief without language, suppressing emotions that felt inconvenient or unsafe, and choosing what others wanted for us over what we genuinely wanted for ourselves. I share parts of my own story... growing up in a broken home, navigating unspoken loss, high expectations, and learning to fake a smile and be 'fine' instead of expressing my actual feelings, which shaped who I was for a long time. This episode is not about pointing blame, attacking others, or rewriting the past. It is about grief, clarity, and the slow work of reclaiming yourself. It is about understanding that unlearning isn't rebellion, it's healing.  -------------------------------------------------------- Join the community: https://discord.gg/q3RxsdMB

Not a reset, but a choice: your new year intentions.

The new year doesn't magically reset our lives, but it does offer a chance to pause, reflect, and choose what we want to carry forward and what we want to let go of. In this episode, we explore choices, boundaries, and stepping into the version of ourselves we want to become... the person we deserve to be. Plus, we are talking vision boards; not just for goals or things we want, but as a tool to align with our values, emotions, and intentions for the year ahead. May 2026 be full of love, joy, growth, and genuine alignment with who you are and who you want to be. -------------------------------------------------------- Join the community: https://discord.gg/q3RxsdMB

When the lights are bright and my battery is low.

This season is loud, busy, and full—and this week, my energy feels low. In this episode, I reflect on moving through a bright, celebratory time while feeling emotionally tired. I share what it’s been like to navigate family dynamics, feel unseen, and carry grief during the first Christmas without my grandpa. This is a quiet conversation about honoring your capacity, letting go of the pressure to perform joy, and allowing rest, grief, and gratitude to exist side by side. -------------------------------------------------------- Join the community: https://discord.gg/q3RxsdMB [https://discord.gg/q3RxsdMB]

Identifying, acknowledging, and stepping into your power.

In this episode, we explore what it really means to step into your power... without becoming someone you're not. I reflect on the pressure to be louder, bolder, and more visible to be seen, and what it feels like to release those expectations and reconnect with my authentic self. I'm talking about power that feels grounded, steady, and warm, identity that feels honest and authentic, and growth that doesn't require self-abandonment.  --------------------------- Join the community: https://discord.gg/q3RxsdMB
