When the Story You Didn’t Choose Becomes Your Life
What do you do when your life changes in ways you never imagined—or agreed to? In this deeply moving conversation, our guest shares the unthinkable story of her husband’s sudden disappearance, his return with dissociative amnesia, and the complicated grief of losing a partner who is still physically here. Together, we explore the shock and disorientation of ambiguous loss—when someone is present but no longer the same, and the pull between duty, love, and the need to protect your own life and wellbeing. This is a conversation about resilience, imperfect courage, and how we begin again when our old story shatters.We are so grateful to our incredible sponsors.

How Do I Find Me Again?
What if the guilt you feel about resting isn’t a flaw—but a reflection of a culture that never modeled anything else? In this live coaching session, I sit down with a mother of four navigating work, societal expectations, and the ache to reconnect with herself. We explore the trade-offs of motherhood, the paralysis of rare free time, and how hard it can be to claim joy when no one ever showed you how. If you've ever felt like you're drowning in “must be nice” energy, or wondered why it feels so hard to prioritize yourself even when you know you need to—this conversation will land.

I Built a Life I Love — So Why Can’t I Rest?
In this live coaching-style episode, I sit down with Patrick—a wildly talented artist, parent, and self-employed creative—who’s built a life with space, flexibility, and freedom… and yet still feels stuck. We explore what happens when you finally have the time you longed for, but guilt, internal pressure, and creative perfectionism make it nearly impossible to rest or feel satisfied. This episode is for anyone who's ever said, “I know what to do—but I just can't seem to do it.” This one’s tender, honest, and—if you’ve ever struggled with feeling like you “should” be doing more—deeply relatable. We are so grateful to our incredible sponsors.

How To Listen To Your Body When It’s Unreliable?
What happens when your body can’t keep up anymore—and the world doesn’t wait? In this conversation, I sat down with Meaghan, whose experience with chronic illness has forced her to renegotiate everything she thought she knew about productivity, identity, and self-worth. We explore what it means to live at the pace of the body, grieve what’s been lost, and reclaim rest as something sacred—not shameful. If you’ve ever struggled to slow down or felt like rest makes you weak, this episode will meet you right where you are. We are so grateful to our incredible sponsors.
