#74 How to Long Live Summer
I've realized over the years that I do a lot better when life has some ebb and flow to it. Not everything has to look the same all year long. In this episode, I'm sharing how I create a "Long Live Summer" for myself—just making things a little different—and why that works so well for me. You…

#73 What If I Don't Have to Have an Opinion?
I'm sharing a lesson I'm currently learning in real time: sometimes my opinion isn't as helpful as I think it is. This episode is about what changes when we stop assuming we need to comment, correct, or guide—and instead ask what love, curiosity, and support could look like without our opinion in...
-
#72 Holding Opposing Truths
This episode is a continuation of where we left off last week. I'm opening up about a conversation I had with my son that brought up a wave of emotions I didn't expect. It led me into a quieter kind of grief, one where joy and heartbreak exist side by side. We're talking about what it looks like…

#71 Grace & When It All Feels Like Too Much
I didn't come to this episode feeling like I had much to give, which felt like the perfect place to talk about grace. I share how I've been exploring grace as something I can practice and embody, not just something I receive. This is a conversation about blessing others, letting go, and giving...

#70 Why Is It So Hard to Be Still?
I've been teaching stillness to a group of high school athletes… and then life gave me a very real chance to practice it myself. In this episode, I'm talking about how to practice stillness and why our constant need to stay "productive" might actually be keeping us from what we need most. If…

#69 Not Every Feeling Needs a New Thought
In this episode, I'm addressing why "just think a different thought" doesn't always work—and can actually backfire. If you're someone who loves growth, tools, and doing things right, you might be accidentally turning awareness into pressure. I'm going to show you a more honest, more flexible, and...
-
#68 I Thought Getting Upset Meant I Cared More
I've been teaching my son's lacrosse team mindset tools like "think, feel, do" and "next thought, next play"—and then found myself needing those same tools in the stands. This episode is about how quickly we get pulled into group reactions, why frustration isn't proof that we care, and what it...
-
#67 What If the Goal Isn't to Avoid Discomfort?
This episode is about discomfort... not how to avoid it, but how to handle it well. I share a story from the golf course that turned into something much bigger about embarrassment, insecurity, and what it really means to build emotional capacity. If you've ever felt awkward, exposed, or out of...
-
#66 When Your Child Starts Trying to Make You Feel Better

more -
#65 I Don't Relax Until the Boxes are Checked
Most of us have an unspoken rule: I'll feel calm when everything is under control. In this episode, I break down why that doesn't actually work—and how it keeps us stuck in a cycle of constantly waiting to relax. We talk about the difference between using systems for support versus relying on…
more -
#64 If I Forgive, What Happens to Accountability?

#61 When I Think I Know What's Best
This episode came out of noticing my own internal fight for control in a moment that didn't actually require it. I talk about the subtle ways we try to manage other people's thoughts/feelings and a concept I teach called the seesaw of control. It's a reminder that while we can't control anyone...

In this episode, I'm talking about divine timing in a way you may not have heard before. Instead of imagining God moving pieces around while we just wait, I explore what it means to act with God... as someone who's already divine, already connected, and already part of the plan. If you've been...

#47 My Document - I AM
In this episode, I'm diving into something I get asked about constantly, my document. I explain where the idea came from, how I've shaped it over time, and why I see it as a place of creation, not just a list of affirmations. I share how speaking only what I want to create has changed how I see...

#46 Be Ruthless
This week I'm talking about how to be ruthless in what makes the cut. When things don't go as planned or if you just have too much on your plate, it's easy to feel like everything depends on you and you have to show up no matter what. But in this episode, I share how stepping back, re-evaluating...
