    This episode is for all my fellow over-schedulers, over-doers, and helpers who forget to ask for help. Today, we’re talking about what it really means to take personal responsibility for our overwhelming situations.Inspired by a story from Brendan Burchard, I reflect on how showing up late or without intention can affect those around us more than we realize. I open up about the seasons in my life where I had zero margin, how I’ve learned to raise my hand for help (instead of volunteering for one more thing), and how creating structure has changed my world for the better.We’ll talk about faith, boundaries, burnout, and what happens when you finally stop saying yes to everything and start planning with purpose. I also share my journey with finances, grief, and the hard-earned wisdom of learning to show up for myself, on time and with love.
    Episode Highlights:
    [2:00] Courageously Honest About What You Want
    [3:00] Brendan Burchard’s “Randomness is Rude” Story
    [5:00] Overcommitment and Why Helpers Need Help Too

  • Kindness: The Universal Solvent

    Kindness: The Universal Solvent
    2025/05/12
    Have you ever called yourself a mess? In today’s episode, I share a beautiful reminder from Martha Beck and a glittery story from Brene Brown that helped me shift how I speak to myself. You are not a mess—you may have just made a mess. And there’s a difference!

    We talk about the power of kindness—how it can dissolve anxiety, calm your nervous system, and soften even your hardest days. I also share some stories from around the house, how decorating brings me joy, and how I accidentally created a beautiful mess while doing it. You’ll even hear about a moment at Walmart that lit up my day with childlike joy.

    Let this episode remind you to be gentle with yourself, speak kindly to that beautiful brain of yours, and know that you were designed for peace.

  • Why I Won’t Quit: God’s Still Working on Me

    Why I Won’t Quit: God’s Still Working on Me
    2025/04/08
    Have you ever felt like giving up on something because that little voice in your head says, “Who do you think you are?” In this solo episode, I share how I almost didn’t show up…but God (and a note from my sweet Hugh) reminded me that He’s still working on me.
    I talk about rewriting the negative narratives we sometimes believe about ourselves and instead leaning into faith, creativity, and purpose even when we don’t feel “good enough.” Let’s stop second-guessing ourselves and start telling better stories, ones that reflect our growth, our purpose, and the love of our creator. He’s still working on me… and He’s still working on you too.

    Episode Highlights
    [2:00] Why I almost didn’t do this episode
    [3:00] A love note from Hugh and a shift in perspective
    [6:00] The church song that still speaks to me today
    [8:30] Letting your narrative guide your growth
    [10:00] My messy past and how God used it for good
    [12:00] The legacy of Martha Foy and living with purpose
    [14:30] Don’t quit what you’re called to do
    [16:00] A powerful reframing exercise from Dan Miller
    [18:30] Philippians 4:8 and what to dwell on instead
    [19:30] My honest confessions: people-pleasing, finances, and showing up anyway
    [20:00] Affirmation of the day: What is your narrative?
