• The Invisible Load — Why You’re Exhausted (and What to Do About It)
    Dec 16 2025

    If you’ve ever opened your eyes in the morning already tired… welcome. You’re not broken. You’re not lazy. You’re not “bad at balancing it all.”

    You’re carrying The Invisible Load — the unseen mental, emotional, and logistical labor that somehow became your full-time, unpaid, no-PTO, no-snacks, no-applause job.

    This episode is your permission slip to finally set that sh*t down.
    Because you can’t rise when you’re buried under everyone else’s needs, reminders, schedules, decisions, and emergencies.

    And let’s be honest: you didn’t apply to be the COO of your household, your inbox, your kid’s college recruitment process, and your partner’s optometry appointments.

    Yet… here you are. Running operations like a champ. And running yourself into the ground in the process.

    Today?

    We’re dragging the Invisible Load into the light.
    We’re talking decision fatigue, delegation guilt, boundaries, burnout — and the tiny micro-shifts that give you your energy (and sanity) back.

    This one hits home. Hard.

    In this episode, you'll learn how to:

    • Name and identify the Invisible Load so you stop blaming yourself for the overwhelm.
    • Spot decision fatigue before it knocks you out — and learn what to automate, batch, and eliminate.
    • Delegate without the guilt (yes, even when it’s “easier to just do it yourself”).
    • Create tiny systems that lighten your brain — from shared calendars to meal autopilot to intentional “planned pauses.”
    • Break the cycle of over-functioning so everyone else finally starts carrying their share.

    With stories so real you’ll laugh, nod, and maybe mutter “OMG SAME,” this episode is the midlife mirror you didn’t know you needed.

    Grab your latte, your lemon water, or your emergency chocolate…
    Rebel, it’s time to lay the load down.

    Your Takeaway Action

    Alright, Rebel — time to make it real.

    Write down three things you’re mentally managing that no one else even knows about.

    The invisible sh*t: the meal plans, the permission slips, the college visit logistics, the birthdays, the batteries, the shoe hunt, the emotional labor, all of it.

    Then choose ONE to either:

    • Delegate
    • Delay
    • Delete

    And when guilt whispers, “Just do it yourself,” say this out loud:

    “I don’t have to carry this alone.”

    Because you don’t. And you were never meant to.

  • Hot Flashes, Mood Swings, and the Midlife Meltdown: It’s Not Your Fault
    Dec 9 2025

    Think you’re losing your mind because you’re sweating through meetings, snapping at everyone in your house, and crying over absolutely nothing?
    You’re not crazy — you’re in perimenopause.

    This week we’re ditching the shame, confusion, and old-school BS about “the change” and breaking down what’s really happening inside your body.
    From hot flashes that hit out of nowhere to mood swings that make you feel like twelve different people in a single day, I’m helping you understand what’s going on — and how to take back control without losing your damn mind.

    In this episode, you’ll learn how to:

    • Decode what’s actually happening during perimenopause (and why your hormones feel like a chaotic group chat you can’t mute)
    • Understand the science behind hot flashes — plus how to track and tame your triggers
    • Handle mood swings without burning your life to the ground
    • Recognize why fatigue isn’t laziness — it’s biology — and how to fix it
    • Make the mindset shift that turns perimenopause from meltdown to midlife power-up

    This isn’t about surviving midlife — it’s about mastering it.
    Your body isn’t broken. It’s evolving.
    Once you know what it’s trying to tell you, you can finally stop fighting it — and start working with it.


    Your Midlife Action Step

    For the next week, track your symptoms:
    When do the hot flashes hit? What triggers your mood swings? How does your energy rise and fall?

    Then use what you discover to build your own Personal Wellness Plan — small, intentional tweaks that help you feel more like you again.

    Because midlife isn’t your crisis.
    It’s your comeback story.

  • Midlife Isn’t a Crisis: It’s Your Comeback Story
    Dec 2 2025

    It's been a minute — and damn, it feels good to be back.

    After a few hard years, I'm stepping into this new chapter stronger, louder, and more unapologetic than ever. This episode kicks off a new era — one that calls total BS on the idea that midlife is a downfall. Because it's not a crisis — it's your comeback.

    If you've ever felt invisible, stuck, or like you've somehow missed your moment, this one's for you. We're rewriting the narrative of midlife as the most powerful, rebellious, truth-filled phase of your life. This is where you stop shrinking and start rising.

    In this episode, you'll learn how to:

    • Reframe midlife as your reset button — not your expiration date
    • Turn your lived experience into your fiercest advantage
    • Stop apologizing for wanting more — and start saying yes to yourself
    • Use this season as a bold act of reinvention and rebellion

    Grab your coffee (or hell, your wine — no judgment here) and tune in for a raw, rallying conversation about redefining what midlife means. Spoiler: this is just the beginning.


    Your Takeaway Action

    It's time to make it real, Rebel.

    Grab a notebook and write down one big, bold, audacious goal you've been too scared to chase — the one that whispers, "you’re too old" or "it’s too late." Then stare that lie in the face and say: "Watch me."

    Midlife isn't your crisis. It's your rise.

    Your comeback starts today.

    In today’s episode, we are going to talk about the power of taking intentional breaks. Trust me, I know firsthand how hectic life can get with a demanding job, running a business, and being a parent.

    So, grab a cup of coffee (or your favorite beverage), kick back, and join me in exploring the amazing benefits of intentional breaks. Let's dive in!

  • 5 Life Lessons to Live By
    May 5 2023

    In today’s episode, I had planned to talk about failure, but I changed my mind after being featured on my friend's podcast called "Blessons." So instead, I wanted to share with you some of the most important lessons that I have learned over the last 47 years. I'm talking about facing your demons, standing up for what you believe in, and most importantly, learning to love yourself.

    You know what they say, you gotta put yourself first. And I really want to encourage you to share your own stories, let out your emotions, and try to find the deeper lessons in your experiences. That way, you can avoid those same old mistakes coming back to bite you. Just remember, you are inherently valuable, and you have the power to achieve anything you set your mind to.
