The Sage Maven Podcast

In this episode, I talk about family roles, generational patterns, and what happens when you stop participating in unhealthy dynamics.Sometimes the “black sheep” is simply the person willing to question the cycle… and decide what stops with them.

This episode explores what it looks like when life gets full… when you’re balancing responsibilities, questioning why you’re showing up, and realizing not everything is meant for you anymore. At this stage, FOMO doesn’t disappear, it just looks different. It’s not about missing out. It’s about outgrowing… and choosing your real life without guilt.

One of my sons recently turned 17… and I can’t help but think about my own life at that age.This episode is a story about being kicked out, surviving on the road, and the moment I experienced what “home” was supposed to feel like.It’s also about what it means to build something different for my own kids.

Are women actually getting ruder… or just more direct?In this episode, I break down the difference between being kind and being nice, and why honesty and clarity are so often misunderstood.If you’ve ever been labeled “too much” for saying what you mean, you’re not alone.

In this episode, I’m sharing a real moment from my life. One that involves hiding on a quiet Monday night, with a house full of boys.If you’ve ever hidden somewhere like in the car or in the bathroom because you just needed five uninterrupted minutes to yourself… You’re not alone.

I’ve been thinking about starting this podcast for a long time but you know what they say, life happens when you’re busy making plans.In this first episode, I’m sharing why I’m finally starting now, right in the middle of raising kids, being a grandmother, a wife and navigating a full, messy, meaningful season of life at almost 50 years and old.
