Are You Lying to Yourself About a Boundary? Here’s How to Know

We’ve all had a boundary we knew we needed to set—but instead of honoring it, we avoided, resisted, and even lied to ourselves about it. This week, I’m talking about overdue boundaries—the ones your body and intuition have been trying to get your attention about, even if your mind is still bargaining. In this episode we explore: * What procrastination and avoidance might be revealing * How the body speaks when you’ve ignored your truth * Questions to help you name your own overdue boundaries This episode is an invitation to stop convincing yourself out of your truth—and start honoring it.

This Body, This Moment: Practicing Self-Love Now

What if you didn’t have to wait until you felt better in your body to treat it with love? In this episode, I’m exploring what it means to nourish and nurture your body right where you are—not after the healing, not once you’ve “fixed” something, but now. We talk about practicing body respect in real life, offering yourself compassion when it’s hard, and learning to stay connected to yourself even when you feel disconnected from your body. This is an invitation to tune in, take a breath, and remember that you are worthy of care right now.

In this episode, I share:  * The importance of honoring your internal seasons—spring, summer, fall, and winter * Why slowing down or doing less doesn’t mean you’re falling behind * How to meet yourself with kindness instead of judgment in survival mode * Simple ways to access self-compassion when life feels overwhelming If you’re in a hard season, this episode is for you.

How to Navigate Grief Without Feeling Alone

This week in life… someone very dear to me passed away. Grief has been a profound teacher in my life, and this week, I’ve been reflecting on how we share it—or don’t—with those around us. In this episode, I explore the importance of inviting our community into our grief, even when it feels vulnerable or unfamiliar. I share my personal experience of navigating loss, the inner conflict of reaching out, and why I believe grief is meant to be held in connection rather than isolation. Together, we’ll explore: ·  Why grief should be witnessed, not hidden ·  How to name what you need in times of loss ·  The power of remembrance rituals and shared experiences If you’ve ever struggled with allowing others into your grief, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about what it means to be held in sorrow and why healing happens in community.
