This week, we’re talking intuition—the times we listen to it, and the times… we don’t. I’m sharing two stories that still stick with me: one where I said yes to an engagement I knew deep down wasn’t right, and another where I hit a deer after ignoring a clear nudge to stay put.

It’s about the moments that teach us to trust ourselves, even when it’s uncomfortable. Because becoming isn’t always graceful—but the lessons stick.

This week on Fearlessly Becoming, I’m joined by Sam Thomson Hall—founder of Welcome Mama, fitness pro turned entrepreneur, and fellow Orangetheory alum—for a conversation that covers matrescence (yes, we explain what it is and how to say it), identity shifts, motherhood, spiritual awakenings, and staying grounded in a loud world.

Welcome Mama is launching their Girlhood Collection this month! Follow @samthomsonhall and @welcomemamaco on instagram and visit welcomemamaco.com for all the deets!

Sure, July 4th is about America’s independence — but let’s talk about yours. In this episode, I kick things off with a little history (because yes, I was a history major), then dive into a personal pattern I’m ready to break up with.

We talk loneliness disguised as connection, why I’ve initiated (and ended) every relationship but one, and how declaring emotional independence is a process — not a parade. So fire up the grill, put on your crown of self-awareness, and let’s talk about the freedom that really matters: the kind that starts within.
