After spending a week at a conference in Denver that felt like Burning Man meets business for women, I came back changed—sequins, leopard print, monk robes, and all. I went in stretched to my limits, from packing last-minute Amazon deliveries and experimenting with blue mascara, to walking into rooms alone where I’d never felt so out of place—or so alive. Every outfit became a new initiation. What started as discomfort turned into expansion. I realized that how we show up—from hair to heels—shifts who we believe we are. Each day, I felt my confidence catch up to my reflection.

What surprised me most was how deeply expression connects to identity. Watching women go from hiding in slouched shoulders to standing tall in sequined confidence was electric. I saw it in myself, too—the rediscovery of the playful, creative, feminine side I’d buried under “don’t be high-maintenance” beliefs. I used to tone myself down to fit in, but this week cracked that open. I wore red lipstick unapologetically, straightened my hair, tried bold styles, and saw new reflections of me I hadn’t met yet. It wasn’t about fashion—it was embodiment.

This experience reminded me that we evolve when we dare to do something unfamiliar, even uncomfortable. Maybe “high maintenance” was never the truth—it was just the label we used to hide from our own radiance. This week taught me that when we give ourselves permission to be fully expressed, everything unlocks. So I’m redefining my closet, my brand, and maybe even what confidence looks like. Here’s to the next identity leap—and to showing up as the woman I was always meant to be.

In this episode, I dive into the tension between survival and healing—the part of the journey no one warns you about. For many of us, the traits that once protected us—the grit, control, independence, or sharp edges—are the same ones we later try to erase when we step into growth. But what if those edges aren’t flaws to fix? What if they’re proof of what we’ve survived—and the foundation for what’s next?

I share the moment I realized that softening isn’t always the answer. Sometimes, our strength doesn’t need to be diluted—it needs to be integrated. This episode is a call to honor the parts of yourself that fought for your life, even when they no longer fit who you’re becoming. It’s about learning to hold both—the woman who built the armor and the one who now wants to live freely without it.

If you’ve ever been told you’re “too much,” “too strong,” or “too intense,” this one’s for you. I’ll walk you through what it looks like to stay soft without surrendering your edge—to stop apologizing for the fire that saved you and start using it to light your next evolution.

I’ve spent much of my life wondering if I was “holding up my end of the deal” when it came to running a house. Truth? I’m not the best homemaker, and I’ve carried plenty of guilt and comparison around that. But here’s the shift: my life’s work isn’t about spotless floors or perfectly folded laundry—it’s about creating, leading, and living in alignment. And alignment is messy. It’s not always what feels good or looks good from the outside, but it’s the only thing that keeps me true to my mission.

I’ve learned that every season of life requires trade-offs. When my kids were young, I cooked more. Now, I hire help when I can, and sometimes I let things slide. And that’s okay. Because my magic isn’t in a scrubbed kitchen—it’s in vision-casting, building movements, guiding people shoulder to shoulder, and creating spaces where others can rise. That’s where my energy belongs.

So here’s the dirty little secret: you don’t have to do it all. You don’t have to compare your gifts to someone else’s. The point isn’t to fix every limitation, but to know your magic and own it fully. When you stop comparing, stop shaming yourself, and start focusing on the gifts only you can bring, that’s when life opens up—and you finally get to live aligned.
