  • I Removed Intimacy From My Marriage + Here's What Happened
    Sep 29 2025

    Have you ever felt like your marriage looked “fine” from the outside… but deep down, you were lonely, felt like you couldn’t fully be yourself in your home, and holding it together with a smile on your face?

    That was me.

    In this episode, I share the story of removing intimacy from my marriage—not as punishment, but as a boundary that changed everything.

    From hunting trips that left me feeling invisible, to a separation that forced us both to look inward, and the decision that I was no longer available for the way things were—this is the real, messy truth about breaking patterns and finding your voice.

    Here’s what you’ll hear:

    ✔️ Why “keeping the peace” cost me more than conflict ever would
    ✔️ The moment I stopped abandoning myself—and how it shifted my marriage
    ✔️ What removing intimacy taught me about my own worth (and why it made us closer)
    ✔️ Why boundaries aren’t easy—but they create ease on the other side
    ✔️ How your kids feel the ripple effects of the relationship you model (even when you think it’s “fine”)

    Pretending everything is fine is like icing a cake that’s still gooey in the middle.

    And if you’ve been ‘icing the cake’ in your relationship instead of facing what’s real—you are not alone. This conversation is for you.

  • Raising Kids To Believe Their Voices Matter
    Sep 22 2025

    Were you raised to “be seen and not heard”? To shrink yourself, keep the peace + stuff emotion down so that you weren’t too much?

    If so, it’s no wonder motherhood feels like a constant tug-of-war between honoring your kids’ voices and holding the boundaries you didn’t learn growing up.

    In this episode, I’m sharing the real, messy, and freeing journey of raising kids who know their opinions matter—without losing yourself in the process.

    You’ll walk away with:

    ✔️ How to raise kids who feel safe speaking up without confusing boundaries for “bad behavior”
    ✔️ Why breaking cycles of silence and self-abandonment starts with you
    ✔️ What to do when your child’s “big personality” activates you.
    ✔️ The power of repair (it’s never too late to shift how you parent)
    ✔️ How modeling boundaries teaches your kids confidence, safety, and leadership

    If you’ve ever worried about “screwing up” your kids — this episode will remind you: You don’t have to be perfect. They need presence.

  • What "Keeping the Peace" is Costing You in Your Relationship
    Sep 15 2025

    Ever find yourself keeping the peace in your relationship—only to realize you’re actually at war with yourself?

    For years, I stayed quiet. I carried the weight of invisible contracts I never signed, silenced my needs, and believed it was just “easier” not to rock the boat. But silence wasn’t peace—it was resentment, exhaustion, and self-abandonment.

    This episode is for the woman who’s ready to stop settling, stop silencing herself, and finally create the relationship she desires.

    Inside, we’ll talk about:
    ✔️ Why “keeping the peace” creates inner chaos that erodes your relationship
    ✔️ How childhood patterns + invisible contracts shape your marriage roles today
    ✔️ The nervous system’s role in why boundaries feel so terrifying at first
    ✔️ The surprising shifts that happen when you start voicing your needs unapologetically
    ✔️ Why self-worth—not self-sacrifice—is the foundation of true partnership

    If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re “asking too much”… this is your reminder: you’re worthy of it all.

  • How a $400 Cleaning Deposit Changed My Self-Worth
    Sep 8 2025

    Have you ever felt your body screaming “No, this isn’t right”—but the old you would’ve folded just to keep the peace?

    That’s exactly what happened to me in what I now call the landlord story. On the surface, it was about a $400 cleaning deposit. But underneath? It was about decades of conditioning that told me to be quiet, agreeable, and “easy.”

    In this episode, I share the messy, emotional, full-body experience of standing my ground—rewiring my nervous system—and what it taught me about self-worth, boundaries, and the little parts of us still running the show.

    Here’s what you’ll take away:

    ✔️ How to notice the “old you” survival patterns that keep you small
    ✔️ What happens when your body screams “don’t fold”—and you listen
    ✔️ Why advocacy for yourself feels terrifying but is life-changing
    ✔️ How perfectionism, people-pleasing, and self-worth are all connected
    ✔️ Real steps to rewire your nervous system so you stop abandoning yourself

    This isn’t just a story about a landlord—it’s about no longer being available to be taken advantage of, in life, in motherhood, in business.

  • Create More Ease by Saying the Thing You’ve Been Avoiding
    Sep 1 2025

    Ever left a family gathering feeling drained, not from the noise—but from all the unspoken tension?

    This one’s for the mom who grew up learning to “keep the peace,” even when it costs her own. The mom who’s tired of walking on eggshells. The mom ready to do things differently.

    In this powerful episode of the Create More Ease series, I share a real story from a family get-together—and how a moment of discomfort led to a boundary that changed everything.

    I’m teaching you how to stop shrinking yourself to keep everyone but yourself comfortable.

    We talk about:

    ✔️ Why sweeping things under the rug is costing you more energy than you think
    ✔️ What “setting the boundary” really looks like (spoiler: it won’t always go well—and that’s okay)
    ✔️ How to stop wasting days stewing and start reclaiming peace now
    ✔️ What to say in those awkward, heated moments—without exploding or shutting down
    ✔️ How regulating your nervous system makes you brave enough to do the hard things

    You’re not here to keep playing small to keep the peace. You’re here to show your kids what real power looks like.

  • Create More Ease in Your Relationship
    Aug 18 2025

    What if I told you feeling supported in your relationship doesn’t start with your partner changing?

    I used to believe I needed my husband to do more—more effort, more emotional support, more everything. But what I’ve come to learn (the hard way) is this: I didn’t need him to change in order to feel supported. I just needed me to change how I showed up.

    In this episode, I’m opening up about the pivotal shifts that completely transformed my relationship—and myself. From separation to boundaries to finally letting go of emotional over-functioning, I’m walking you through how I stopped mothering my husband, reclaimed my identity, and started creating ease in my home.

    If you’re feeling burnt out, emotionally overextended, and like the default parent to everyone, you’re not alone—and this is your roadmap to freedom.

    ✔️ Why you feel like a “mom of 5” instead of a partner—and how to shift it
    ✔️ How I stopped carrying the emotional weight for two people
    ✔️ The sneaky ways self-abandonment shows up in marriage (and how to stop it)
    ✔️ Why regulating your nervous system is the missing key to real relationship change
    ✔️ How boundaries inside your marriage help you stop over-functioning + start being YOU again

    This episode is for the woman who’s done waiting for her partner to change—and ready to change the game herself.

  • How to Create Back to School Ease
    Aug 11 2025

    Back to school doesn’t have to mean burnout.
    But let’s be honest — for most of us, that’s exactly how it feels.

    Between the forms, the folder chaos, the late-night Target runs, and trying to regulate your own nervous system through it all… it’s A LOT. And you’re probably the one holding all of it.

    In this episode, I’m walking you through how I’m making the transition back to school feel less like survival mode — and more like something that actually supports me and my family.

    We’re talking about:
    ✔️ Why back-to-school hits your nervous system so hard (and how to calm it)
    ✔️ Routines that support ease, not perfection — and how I delegate the emotional labor
    ✔️ Setting boundaries around capacity, noise, and overstimulation (without guilt)
    ✔️ Creating systems that let your kids rise — so you’re not carrying it all
    ✔️ Letting go of the “organized mom” performance + showing up as YOU

    If you're tired of doing it all and still feeling behind, this is your permission slip to do things differently.

    Back to school gets to feel good — and I’ll show you how.
