Episode 19:

Guilt. It's heavy. It's sneaky. And if you've ever been sick — especially while trying to care for your kids or your family — you probably know it all too well.

In this raw and heartfelt episode, I share a recent experience that brought up old emotions and fresh clarity. From a much-needed retreat to an unexpected emergency, I walk you through the moments that reminded me just how hard we can be on ourselves — and how much gentleness we deserve.

Whether you're a mom navigating chronic illness, a caregiver who never gets a break, or someone learning to rest without shame, this episode is for you.

We’ll talk about:

The guilt that shows up when you can't do it all

What I wish someone had told me when I was sick

Why compassion is easier to offer others than ourselves

How we can start to shift that inner voice

A gentle breath practice to help you release the weight you’ve been carrying

You are not alone. You are not failing. And it is okay to rest.

💚 Let's get through today — together.

Episode 18 – Behind the smiles, behind the schedules, behind the “I’m fine” — there’s a silent, crushing weight many moms carry.

In this episode of Getting Through Today, we explore what it really means to live with the invisible load — the mental fatigue, emotional labor, and chronic overwhelm that often go unseen but are felt.

If you’re a mom navigating life with chronic illness — Lyme disease, autoimmune issues, or unrelenting exhaustion that no one else seems to understand — this episode is for you.

We’ll talk about:

What the invisible load is (and why it’s so hard to explain)

Why mental fatigue hits so differently — and so deeply

Gentle, practical tools to lighten the load

A heartfelt message for the mom who feels like she’s failing just by being tired

You are not weak. You are not broken. You’re carrying more than most could ever imagine — and still showing up with love. That is strength. That is bravery.

Take a breath, press play, and let yourself be seen.

Because you don’t have to carry it all alone anymore.

Episode 17 - In this deeply personal episode of Getting Through Today, I open up about how music has carried me through some of my darkest seasons — when depression, chronic illness, and exhaustion left me feeling overwhelmed, voiceless, and lost.

Music became my lifeline. A place where I could be honest, raw, and real when words felt too heavy. Today, I’m sharing that part of my story with you — including the origins of two of my most vulnerable songs, The Letter and Beautiful Broken.

This episode touches on sensitive topics like depression and suicidal thoughts, so please take care while listening. My intention is to shed light on these experiences — not to dwell in the pain, but to show how music can be a bridge between struggle and healing.

Whether you create, listen, or simply hold space for others, I hope this episode reminds you:

You are not alone.

Your story matters.

And even the broken pieces can become something beautiful.

Listen now and join me in raising awareness through music, honesty, and hope.
