Today's episode is very special, because it's a recording of a workshop I taught with Dr. Casey Bekebile all about perimenopause.

Together we discussed how we lose ourselves amidst the changing hormonal tides of our lives, how to find ourselves again, and why it's important to model for yourself and others that you matter too. We talk about hormonal changes, emotional shifts, life's big demands, imperative self care and all the other things that come with this important stage of life.

Tune in and you will:

• Understand the perimenopausal shifts happening in your body
• Identify what's draining your energy and what to do about it
• End the overriding of what you truly feel and know
• Learn how to get out of shame spirals, guilt and the burn of resentment (they don't have to take over your life or derail you!)
• Unhook from toxic personal and social expectations weighing you down

Whether you're already experiencing symptoms or just curious about what to expect, this is the episode for you. Grab a cup of tea, cozy up in your favorite spot, and let's chat perimenopause.

You'll also learn about my upcoming women's circle Homecoming and how it might be just the thing you're looking for. Learn more and join us. We begin this month.

It's a lot to hold. And it can feel like too much. Especially if you never say no to anyone.

• How we show up in our relationships
• The difference between a reluctant yes and a wobbly no

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.

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

.

• 3 Antidotes for the Busiest and Loneliest Era of Parenting

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.

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.
