Hey friend— You’re counting down the days until school starts. You want the structure back. You miss quiet mornings and having a minute to think. So why does your brain feel like mashed potatoes?

This episode is for the mom who’s emotionally shutting down before the reset even begins.

We talk about: – Why your body is crashing before school even starts – The real reason you're not motivated (spoiler: it's not laziness) – What emotional whiplash looks like, and why it’s so common this time of year – How to move through this weird fog without forcing productivity or guilt-planning your comeback

If you're sitting in the car scrolling instead of checking off the to-do list... you're not broken. You're just finally landing.

this one’s personal. If you’ve been the strong one for so long you don’t even know what it feels like to be checked on… If your body’s been acting weird—tight chest, tense jaw, random fatigue—but you keep brushing it off because “there’s no time to be sick”… This episode is for you.

We’re talking about what happens when you keep showing up for everyone else while your own body is waving red flags in the background. I’m sharing what I’ve learned from When the Body Says No, real-life stories from coaching, and the beliefs that keep you stuck in survival mode while calling it “strength.”

This is your permission slip to stop minimizing your needs—and start listening before your body screams.

Hey mamas, this one’s real tender. If you’re caught in that weird back-to-school limbo—feeling like you should be excited for routine but secretly want to cry at the sight of a backpack—this episode is your soft landing spot.

I’m walking you through the grief no one talks about at the end of summer, why you’re not broken for feeling all over the place, and how to move through this season without rushing to reset. You don’t need a planner—you need permission.

Hey Mamas,

You know that moment where you’re staring at your to-do list, trying to care—but your brain’s just DONE? Where you keep whispering, “I don’t know what I need—but I know it’s not this”?

Yeah. That.

This episode is for the woman who looks fine on the outside… but inside? She’s fried. Foggy. Disconnected. You’re not lazy. You’re not ungrateful. You’re not broken.

You’re just a woman who’s been last on her own list for way too long.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:

• The 3 belief shifts you need when you hit that “meh” moment
• Why the fog isn’t a problem—it’s a protective pause
• How to stop performing “fine” and start listening to what you actually need

We’re not fixing anything today, friend. We’re just naming the truth.

Grab your coffee, pop in your earbuds, and come exhale with me.

ey love—this one’s going to hit deep.

You’ve been juggling all the roles: CEO, mom, wife, house manager, emotional regulator—and still wondering why you feel like you’re dropping the ball.

Here’s the truth: You’re not dropping the ball. You ARE the ball. And you’re the one getting dropped. Daily.

In today’s episode, we’re flipping the belief that you just need more time or better systems. Nope. We’re talking identity. The straitjacket you’ve been calling “strong.” The control that’s keeping you exhausted. The fragments of you spread thin trying to be everything for everyone.

You’ll walk away with:

• 3 deep, identity-shifting truths that will change how you see your burnout

• A metaphor you’ll feel in your body

• Gentle but powerful questions to help you reconnect to you

• A moment to breathe, and the invitation to lay it all down

If this episode hit you in the gut, share it with a friend who’s quietly drowning. You’re not broken—you’re just doing too much. Let’s change that—together.

This one’s for the woman who’s been holding it together for so long, she doesn’t even realize she’s missing.

I went to Utah thinking I just needed a little space. A break. A chance to breathe.

What I didn’t expect? Was to completely fall apart poolside. To cry in silence at a spa with no one watching. To ride a chairlift with my husband and realize… I’ve forgotten how to just be.

This isn’t a story about a breakdown. It’s a story about a return.

In this episode, I’m sharing what happened when I stopped performing, stopped producing, and let myself feel the weight I’ve been carrying. Why stillness didn’t feel like peace at first. Why the quiet felt more like grief. And why getting a tattoo in Park City wasn’t about making a statement—it was about remembering something sacred:

I didn’t need to be fixed. I just needed to be found.

If you’ve been busy holding everyone else together… If you're tired of proving your worth through what you do… If the thought of not being needed leaves you feeling lost—

Come sit with me here.

This is the part where we stop performing and start returning.

You’ve been telling yourself, “I just need to let go. I need to stop holding it all.” But every time you even think about letting go? Full-body panic. Your brain spirals. Your chest tightens. You convince yourself that if you loosen your grip for one second, it’ll all come crashing down.

But what if letting go isn’t dangerous? What if it’s actually your path home—not to chaos, but to freedom?

Inside this episode, we’re breaking down:

• Why letting go feels absolutely terrifying (it’s not because you’re dramatic)

• Why you’ve tied your worth to control—and how it’s wrecking your nervous system

• The real reason you fear losing more than just your to-do list—you fear losing yourself

• How to pause the panic without burning your whole life down

Plus—I’m sharing one of my favorite metaphors about the “House of Cards” you’ve been living in… it’s gonna hit deep.

And because I know you’ve been craving it, I’m also telling you about my February retreat and why it was built for exactly this moment. (And yes, you can still join the VIP interest list!)

Oh, and quick heads up—I’ve got a tiny but mighty All In Challenge for you in this episode, too. It’s simple. No fixing. Just noticing. But it’s the kind of question that changes everything.

You’re not broken—you’re just doing too much. That changes today.

The business will be fine. The kids will survive. You? You get to sit down for once.

ohhhh, girl. This episode? Buckle up. We’re going there.

You keep saying, “I’m just overwhelmed.” But what if that’s not actually true? What if the real reason you feel like you’re drowning is because you’ve been over-responsible for everyone and everything in your life?

Yep, we’re flipping that belief today. I’m showing you how you’ve been stuck in this pressure-cooker cycle—taking on everyone’s needs, managing every little thing, and calling it “just a hard season.” But it’s not a season. It’s a cycle.

And here’s the good news—you don’t need to burn it all down to get out of it. In this episode, we’re breaking down:

• Why your overwhelm is really over-responsibility
• The hidden ways you’ve been emotionally “air-conditioning” your whole house (and business)
• Why you keep saying yes, even when it’s killing you inside
• And how to spot when you’re carrying what’s not yours—without fixing it or feeling guilty

This one’s gonna feel like a deep exhale, friend.
