Who Are You Becoming? | Season 2 Finale
Season 2 began with a simple idea: permission. Permission to become. Permission to choose yourself. Permission to question the stories you've been living by. Along the way, we talked about invisible scorecards, changing roles, the sandwich generation, hope, and the quiet work of becoming. In this...

What Are You Actually Building Toward?
What are you actually building toward? Not the career answer. Not the five-year plan. Not the version you’d give in a performance review. The real one. Recently, sitting under a pergola at a small winery in Napa, I caught a glimpse of the life I think I’m actually building toward. And it made me...

The Power of Yet: Who Says You’re Done Becoming?
What if the thing you’ve decided will never happen… just hasn’t happened yet? Somewhere along the way, many of us stop giving ourselves permission to be beginners. We start believing we should already know who we are, what we’re good at, and what the rest of our lives will look like. And without...

When the Role Changes, Who Are You?
When the Role Changes, Who Are You? For so many of us, our identity becomes wrapped up in the roles we play. The caregiver. The leader. The wife. The mom. The fixer. The dependable one. Over time, those roles become so familiar that we stop asking who we are underneath them. But what happens when...

Why Does It Never Feel Like Enough?
Why Does It Never Feel Like Enough? Have you ever reached a goal you worked so hard for... only to immediately start chasing the next one? A promotion. A healthier body. A stronger marriage. A cleaner house. A bigger dream. And somehow, it still doesn't feel like enough. In this episode, we're...

Caught in the Middle — What the Sandwich Generation Actually Feels Like
There is a particular kind of tired that comes from loving people on both sides at once. Not the tired that sleep fixes. The kind that comes from standing between your children and your aging parents, trying to hold both, and quietly wondering how much longer you can keep showing up for everyone...

What If the Scorecard You've Been Keeping Isn't Even Yours?
You did everything you were supposed to do. You built the career. Or the family. Or the business. Or the life that everyone else admired from the outside. And somewhere along the way — without anyone telling you, without even fully noticing — the thing you were working toward stopped feeling like...

Why Does Choosing Yourself Feel So Selfish?
You finally made the plan. You blocked the time. You told yourself this week would be different. And then — without anyone asking, without any real reason — you let it go again. Sound familiar? In this episode of Still Building, Faith gets honest about why choosing yourself can feel so selfish…

Why Are We Still Waiting for Permission?
For so many of us, the hardest part isn't making the decision. It's believing we're allowed to. Allowed to change careers. Allowed to outgrow relationships. Allowed to rest. Allowed to start over. Allowed to become someone new. Somewhere along the way, many women learned to wait—for approval, for...

Friendship in Midlife- Reason, Season, or Lifetime
Nobody talks honestly enough about friendship in midlife. About how hard it is to make new ones. About the ones that have changed across distance and time. About the quiet longing for someone you can call at 3am — and what it means if you don't have that person yet. In this episode Faith shares…

We Grew Up Together, Than We Had To Choose Each Other
What does it actually take to make love last thirty years? Not the highlight reel version. The real one. In this episode Faith shares the love story she has never told in full — meeting Johnny at 15, falling fast and hard, breaking up, writing a handwritten letter in 1996 to get him back…

What Happens When You Get What You Wanted
At some point this year I stopped asking how do I build more — and started asking something I had never made space for before. What do I actually want? Those are very different questions. And for most of my career I didn't have the luxury of the second one. In this episode I talk honestly about...

What I’m Actually Protecting By Building
I never planned to be a leader. I planned to stay at the bedside - a labor and delivery nurse doing the work I loved. And then my manager was let go. And someone asked me to step in. That one yes changed everything. In this episode I talk about the loneliness of leading former friends, the…

Becoming a Mother Before Becoming Yourself

Growing Up Fast

Why I'm Still Building
This is where it started. At 45, I found myself sitting with a question I didn't expect — not what do I need to accomplish next, but who am I becoming now? In this first episode, I share my story honestly. Growing up fast. Becoming a mother before I fully knew who I was. Building a career in...
