  • The Curse of the Capable
    Sep 23 2025

    Does everyone in your life look to you to get things done? Because they “know you’ll do it better,” so it’s easier to put you in charge—of everything, all the time?

    If that sounds familiar, you may be living under the curse of the capable.

    In this episode, we unpack the adage “if you want something done, give it to a busy woman,” as a way to explore:

    • What the curse of the capable really is
    • How we ended up here—and how to step out of it
    • Shifts in self-conception and relationships that stop this cycle

    Tune in for a pep talk to embrace how capable you are without weaponizing your own competence against yourself.

  • The Magic of Third Spaces & A Pep Talk for Non-Joiners
    Sep 16 2025

    Let’s talk about third spaces—those places outside of home and work where real connection happens.

    Recent research found that 80% of mothers are desperate for ways to connect with other parents. And yet, so many of us still consider ourselves “non-joiners.”

    In this episode, we explore:

    • The loneliness epidemic and why you’re longing for connection
    • Why third spaces matter more than ever
    • Ways that social media negatively impacts our sense of community
    • How to find (or create) third spaces in ways that feel natural and easeful

    .

  • You Were Never Taught How to Find Your People
    Sep 9 2025

    Between school drop-offs, work deadlines, and late-night laundry, finding your people — the ones who truly see and support you — can feel impossible.

    In this episode, we unpack why authentic relationships are so tricky for moms, from the pull of people-pleasing to the teenage wounds that still shape our friendships.

    You’ll learn why building a supportive circle matters more than ever — and how the work of connection always starts with you.

    It’s time to stop being everyone’s favorite person and instead show them who you actually are.

    Tune in for a clear, doable plan to start finding yourself and the people who make you feel truly seen. And when you’re ready for deeper connection, join me in Homecoming this fall.

  • 3 Antidotes for the Busiest and Loneliest Era of Parenting
    Sep 2 2025

    If your kids are between 5 and 12, you might know this feeling — life is busier than ever, yet somehow lonelier too. You’re working, parenting, managing a thousand invisible tasks… and somewhere along the way, you lose track of yourself and the relationships that used to keep you grounded.

    I call this the era of “forgotten mothers” — and to be honest, I'm in it right now.

    So in this episode, I unpack why this phase of parenting feels so isolating, including the quiet emotional labor no one sees, the constant vigilance around your kids’ well-being, and why the community often fades out once the “mommy and me” years are over.

    I also offer three simple, practical steps you can take right now to slow the pace, rebuild connection, and create the kind of support you deserve in this season.

    Tune in to see your loneliness melt and your busyness slow down. And if you’re ready for deeper connection, join me in Homecoming this fall.

    Aug 5 2025

  • Stop Growing! Summer is the Season for Sustaining
    Jun 17 2025

    Congratulations on surviving May! You made it through the busiest month of the year, and now summer’s here… which is maybe just as busy?

    Today we’re talking about seasonality and how to distinguish between seasons of growth and seasons of sustaining.

    Because, sometimes when you feel like an unproductive loser, it’s not because you can’t get anything done, it’s actually because you’re fighting against the flow of the moment.

    Tune in to this episode to hear about:

    • Why we (falsely) believe we should always be growing
    • The difference between growth and sustaining
    • Identifying your discomfort zones
    • What to do when your boss, spouse, neighbors or kids are pushing you to grow
    • The power of your sacred no
    • How to choose the season you’re in, rather than feeling like a victim of it
