Unlearning

September can bring that familiar pressure to get it together, new routines, new goals, back to work, back to school, back on track.But what if you’re not actually off track?In this episode, I’m talking about letting go of the pressure to “reset,” building a season around what you actually need, and my slightly terrifying September experiment: scheduling my work and family life around me, too.Maybe this season isn't about becoming someone new.Maybe it's about trusting yourself enough to build a life that actually feels like yours.

Is anyone else feeling it?That weird mix of nostalgia, anxiety, excitement and HOW IS IT ALREADY ALMOST SEPTEMBER?!Summer isn't technically over, but somehow our brains are already there, thinking about school, schedules, routines, work, calendars and everything waiting for us on the other side of Labour Day.And suddenly we're wondering if we did enough.Did we make enough memories?Did we make the most of summer?Where did the time go?In this episode, I'm unpacking the strange emotional limbo of the end of summer, the pressure to squeeze every last drop out of a season, the anticipatory anxiety of what's coming next, and why transitions can feel so tender even when we're excited for what comes next.But mostly, I'm exploring one idea:Maybe the goal isn't to hold onto summer. Maybe it's to let summer change us.What if we stopped trying to make summer last and instead paid attention to what it taught us?The slower mornings.The time outside.The connection.The spaciousness.The reminder of what actually matters.Maybe we don't have to go back to the way things were.Maybe we get to carry the best parts of summer forward and create a new rhythm for the season ahead.If you're feeling the end-of-summer scaries, this one's for you.Take a breath.Before you rush into September, notice what's still here.

When I opened Grounded, I thought I was building another piece of my business.What I didn't expect was how much the café would end up teaching me.About creativity.About being a beginner.About letting things be imperfect.About people, community, leadership, and learning to listen without letting every opinion become your compass.And honestly?I didn't realize how much I missed creating simply because it was fun.Trialing new drinks. Coming up with sandwich combinations. Playing with flavours. Making something that doesn't work and trying again. Letting an idea become something before I decide whether it's "good enough."Grounded has reminded me that sometimes the thing we're building is also building us.In this episode, I'm sharing the unexpected lessons I've learned behind the counter, and why I think there's something beautiful about being willing to experiment, get it wrong, ask for help, and keep creating anyway.Because maybe there is no "arrival."Maybe we're meant to keep learning, evolving, creating, and becoming.And sometimes...the thing you're building is building you.

Sometimes we don't need a life overhaul. We don't need another routine, another goal, or another thing to add to the list.Sometimes, we just need to step away.In this episode, recorded during a few quiet days at the cottage with my family, I’m reflecting on what happens when we create a little distance from the noise of everyday life. The kind of distance that lets you notice how tired you actually are, remember what matters, and hear your own thoughts again.We talk about why rest doesn't have to be earned, why doing nothing can be deeply restorative, and how a few quiet days can give us perspective we couldn't find while standing in the middle of everything.Maybe you don't need to do more.Maybe you just need a little less noise.Come sit with me for a few minutes.

In this deeply personal episode, I'm reflecting on the quiet grief that comes with watching the people we love grow into the lives they were always meant to live.We'll explore:Why grief isn't reserved for loss, it often accompanies our most beautiful moments.The bittersweet transition from being needed to being trusted.How parenting changes as our children become adults.What it means to love someone enough to let them become who they were always meant to be.Why "home" becomes less about a place and more about a person.Whether you're a parent watching your children grow, navigating a season of change, saying goodbye to an old version of yourself, or simply learning to let go with love, I hope this conversation reminds you that it's okay to hold joy and grief at the same time.Because sometimes the ache in our hearts isn't a sign that something is broken.It's simply love...Learning a new shape.

Have you ever noticed how quickly one thought can change the way you see yourself, your relationships, or your entire life?"I'm not enough.""I'm behind.""I'm failing.""Everyone else has it figured out."We often treat our thoughts as facts, when in reality, they're often shaped by our fears, our past experiences, and a nervous system that's simply trying to keep us safe.In this episode, we're exploring why our minds naturally focus on what's wrong, how our inner critic develops, and why one of the most powerful things you can do is learn to question the thoughts you've always believed.We'll explore:Why your brain is wired for survival, not certaintyThe difference between thoughts and factsHow your nervous system influences the stories your mind tellsWhy self-awareness creates more freedom than self-criticismA simple practice to help you respond to difficult thoughts with curiosity instead of shameBecause healing doesn't happen when you stop having difficult thoughts.It happens when you stop believing every one of them.

Have you ever stopped to wonder if the beliefs you hold about yourself are actually... yours?"I'm too much.""I'm not enough.""I'm not confident.""I'm bad at relationships.""I'm behind."These stories often become so familiar that we mistake them for truth.But what if they were never meant to define you?In this week's episode, we're exploring the stories we inherit, the beliefs we unknowingly carry, and why so much of healing isn't about becoming someone new, it's about questioning the narratives that have quietly shaped your life.We'll talk about:How childhood experiences become lifelong beliefsWhy our nervous system values belonging over authenticityThe power of curiosity over self-judgmentHow to recognize the stories that are no longer serving youWhat it means to come home to yourselfBecause maybe the story you've been living... isn't the whole truth.And maybe healing begins the moment you realize you get to write the next chapter.

What if the parts of yourself you've spent years trying to fix were never flaws to begin with?Maybe you were told you were too sensitive.Too emotional.Too loud.Too quiet.Too intense.Too ambitious.Too much.And somewhere along the way, those words became part of the story you told yourself.In this episode, we're exploring how the beliefs we form in childhood shape the way we move through the world, why we learn to edit ourselves in order to belong, and what it really means to come home to who we are.Because healing isn't always about becoming someone new.Sometimes it's about remembering who you were before you believed you had to be someone else.In this conversation, we'll explore:How our nervous system learns to prioritize belonging over authenticityThe stories we inherit about who we "should" beThe difference between your protective strategies and your true essenceWhy the qualities you've been trying to hide may actually be your greatest giftsWhat it means to stop performing and start living as your whole selfI'll leave you with one question:What have you spent your life apologizing for that might actually be your magic? Send me a DM and let me know!

When we're in the middle of a hard season, a transition, a business decision, a relationship, grief, healing, or simply the uncertainty of what's next, we often expect ourselves to have complete clarity.But what if that's an impossible ask?In this episode, we're talking about why our nervous systems crave certainty, how urgency creates tunnel vision, and why the answers we're searching for often can't be found by thinking harder.Sometimes the clarity you're looking for isn't something you think your way into.It's something you live your way into.If you've been questioning yourself, overanalyzing every decision, or feeling frustrated that you can't see the whole picture, this conversation is for you.We'll explore:Why uncertainty feels so uncomfortableThe difference between urgency and clarityHow hindsight always seems obviousLearning to trust yourself before you have proofWhy the next honest step is often enoughYou don't need to have your whole life figured out to keep moving forward.Sometimes, you're simply too close to the story to see what it's becoming.

School is winding down, routines are shifting, and summer is beginning.With it can come a quiet kind of pressure: to make it magical, make memories, be more present, feel confident in your body, say yes to every invitation, and somehow enjoy every second.But what if summer does not need to be optimized?In this gentle episode, we’re talking about the transition into a new season—the logistics, noise, shifting routines, body-image and food noise, social expectations, and the invisible pressure to make summer “count.”Whether you are navigating kids home from school, a fuller social calendar, work changes, vacation plans, grief, loneliness, or simply a tired nervous system, this episode is your reminder that you do not have to earn rest, joy, slowness, or a good day.Summer is not a performance.It is a season you get to live inside of.In this episode, we explore:Why even positive transitions can feel dysregulatingThe pressure parents can feel to create a “magical” summerSummer body-image and food noiseWhy rest is not the same as doing nothingHow boundaries can be one of the most restorative things you doChoosing a summer feeling instead of building another checklistYou are allowed to have an ordinary summer. A quiet summer. A complicated summer. A beautiful summer that does not need to look beautiful from the outside.

Have you ever reached a goal only to realize it didn't change how you felt about yourself?In this episode of The Unlearning Podcast, we're exploring the hidden expectations many of us place on success. We believe achievements will make us feel worthy, validated, safe, connected, or at peace, but those experiences can't be earned through accomplishment alone.Join me for a compassionate conversation about self-worth, nervous system safety, belonging, validation, and why peace isn't something waiting at the finish line.If you've ever found yourself saying, "I'll be happy when..." this episode is for you.Because success can change your circumstances, but it can't give you what has been within you all along.

This year marks 10 years in business, and if there's one thing I've learned, it's that entrepreneurship is never just about business.It's about courage.It's about identity.It's about resilience.It's about learning how to trust yourself when things don't go according to plan.In this episode, I'm sharing the 10 biggest lessons I've learned over the last decade, from navigating criticism and comparison, to building community, expanding your nervous system capacity, and finding the courage to do things differently.Whether you're building a business, a dream, a family, or a new version of yourself, these lessons are about so much more than entrepreneurship.They're about becoming.A decade later, I can tell you this:The dream will change you far more than you ever imagined.

Have you ever noticed that some people seem to take up residence in your mind long after the conversation ends?Maybe you're replaying what they said.Analyzing their behavior.Anticipating their reactions.Trying to understand them, fix them, manage them, or avoid upsetting them.In this episode, we're exploring the hidden emotional cost of carrying other people in your head.We'll dive into why so many of us become consumed by other people's thoughts, feelings, opinions, and actions, and how this often stems from old survival patterns, people-pleasing tendencies, hypervigilance, and nervous system conditioning.You'll learn how constantly monitoring others can disconnect you from yourself, drain your energy, and keep you stuck in cycles of overthinking, resentment, and emotional exhaustion.Most importantly, we'll explore what it looks like to come home to yourself, to release the responsibility for managing everyone else's experience and reclaim your own peace.If you've ever felt exhausted by relationships, trapped in overthinking, or overly responsible for how others feel, this episode is for you.

An unplanned… but it felt important to share.This week, I lost my grandma. And later that same day, while teaching a class in a practice I’ve held for years… I broke open in a way I didn’t expect.In a room where I’m usually the one holding others, I was the one being held.In this episode, I’m sharing what happened, what it revealed about the nervous system, grief, control, and the identity of “being the strong one”… and why learning to receive support might be the most important part of healing.If you’ve ever felt like you have to hold it all together, this one is for you 🤍

We hear it all the time,“be kind.”But what if that’s not actually the standard we should be striving for?In this episode, I share a simple moment from my day that sparked a deeper realization about how we show up in the world—and how often we focus on behavior while completely overlooking energy.Because here’s the truth:People don’t just hear you… they feel you.We explore:Why “being kind” can sometimes become performativeThe subtle ways unprocessed stress shows up in your tone, body, and presenceWhat it really means to be responsible for your energyHow your nervous system state impacts every interaction you haveWhy regulation isn’t just personal work,it’s relationalThis isn’t about being perfect or saying the right thing.It’s about becoming aware of how you actually feel to be around.Because that’s what people remember.If you’ve ever walked away from an interaction thinking “nothing was wrong, but something felt off”…this episode will shift how you see yourself, and others.As always if this stirred something in you, lets chat!

This wasn’t the episode I planned to record.But I woke up receiving such a strong download around the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aquarius and the beginning of the Year of the Fire Horse… that I couldn’t ignore it.In this episode, I break down (simply and grounded, not woo-woo) what eclipses represent, what Aquarius energy invites, and how the Fire Horse symbolizes bold identity shifts.But more importantly, we tie it back to nervous system healing, identity work, and why sustainable change isn’t about willpower…It’s about who you believe you are.If you’ve been feeling restless, emotional, aware, or stretched lately, this episode will help you understand why.And I’ll leave you with one powerful question:What are you stepping into that the old you couldn’t hold?
