In this episode, I’m sharing something that took me way too long to learn: the power of slowing down.

For years, I stayed busy as a way to cope with grief, with pressure, with life. After my sister, Channon, passed, I didn’t stop to feel. I just kept moving. Work, school, building Life I Love, IVF. I kept piling it on. I told myself I was ambitious, but the truth is, I was avoiding.

Eventually, I started to see the pace of my life reflected in my daughter, the rushing, the anxiety, the constant forward motion. And that was my wake-up call.

This episode is about what slowing down gave me, how I’m learning to be more present, and how Dr. Philip Zimbardo’s Time Perspective Theory helped me reframe my relationship with time. That theory changed everything, the way I reflect on the past, show up in the present, and imagine the future.

If you’ve been feeling like life is speeding by, I hope this episode feels like a soft exhale.

In this episode, I share:

• How grief showed up as overworking
• The moment I realized my pace was impacting my daughter
• What Zimbardo’s Time Perspective Theory taught me about balance
• Small shifts that helped me feel more alive

In this episode, I sit down with my beautiful niece Terea, a Buddhist, ceramicist, and deep thinker living in Honolulu, to talk about something many of us wrestle with but rarely say out loud: what it really means to need help.

Terea opens up about living with complex PTSD and surviving multiple suicide attempts. It’s a powerful and tender conversation about what it looks like to unravel, and how healing began not through isolation, but through the steady, quiet presence of people who refused to let her go.

This is a story about trying to push people away and being met with love anyway. A story of chosen family stepping in, holding her up, and showing her that she didn’t have to carry it all alone. In the end, she had no choice but to receive the care that saved her life.

It’s about surrender, strength, and the kind of support that meets you right where you are, even when you think you don’t deserve it.

Trigger warning: This episode includes discussion of suicidal ideation and attempts. Please take care of yourself as you listen.

For most of my life, I thought I had to carry everything on my own. From being the “responsible one” as a kid to trying to do it all as a mom, wife, and leader, I learned how deeply fear and pride shaped my relationship with asking for help.

In this episode, I talk about where that mindset came from, how it showed up in my adult life, and the quiet ways I’m learning to let go and let people in.

If you’ve ever struggled to ask for support, I hope this episode reminds you: you don’t have to do it all to be worthy. You don’t have to do it all alone. You never did.
