The Problem With Saying “I’m Trying”

In today’s episode, I’m digging into one tiny word that seems innocent but sneaks its way into our goals, our relationships, our parenting, our businesses — and quietly holds us back: “trying.” I share a few stories (including the Central Park tennis-ball mama, a birth-pool moment where I finally snapped at my husband, and some honest coaching from a client in a relationship spiral) that show how “I’m trying” keeps us hovering in hesitation instead of stepping into real commitment. We talk ab...

Caring what other people think

In this episode, we’re diving into one of the most universal human struggles: caring what other people think. Not in the “just don’t care!” kind of way, because that’s not real, but in the honest, messy, human way that actually helps you shift it. I’m sharing stories from my own life, a powerful moment with a former coach, what came up on last night’s free group coaching call, and how this shows up in parenting, entrepreneurship, and identity. We’ll talk about why we’re wired to seek approval...

Standing Your Ground: The End of the Good Girl Era

In this episode, we’re talking about what it really means to stand your ground—and why so many of us struggle to do it. I share a story from when I was 19 that unexpectedly taught me the power of quiet certainty (yes, it involves a chaotic NYC penthouse and a babysitting job gone awry). We explore how “good girl” conditioning manifests in adulthood in ways we barely even notice. If you’ve ever found yourself saying “it’s fine” when it’s not… shrinking your ideas before they even come out… pla...

The Sacred Role of Hard

In this episode, we explore the beauty of contrast — the strange, sacred way that joy lands deeper after we’ve tasted the hard. I share two stories from our family road trip out West, including one freezing night in a tent in Oregon that taught me more about gratitude than any self-help book ever could. We discuss emotional highs and lows, why humans aren’t meant to be happy all the time, and how allowing ourselves to experience the full spectrum of our emotions is what makes life meaningful....

Ever find yourself this close to giving up on something you actually really want? In this episode, I get real about those sneaky moments when we quit — not because it’s time to move on, but because our brains get scared, impatient, or tired of waiting for results. I share stories from my coaching work, what’s really going on in the brain when things take longer than we hoped, and a few surprisingly simple ways to stay in the game when you want to bail. This work is about learning how to stay ...

How to be Self-Accountable

Ever wonder why it’s so easy to show up for everyone else...but not for yourself? In this episode, we’re getting honest about self-accountability: why your brain secretly resists it, how shame keeps you hiding, and what actually starts to shift when you slow down, get curious, and take one small follow-through. You’ll walk away with a simple, repeatable way to rebuild self-trust without guilt, hustle, or pep talks, and finally feel like if you tell yourself you are going to do something...

How to Stay With Yourself When Things Get Hard

If you’ve ever been halfway up a goal and found yourself climbing back down to “pick a better trail,” this one’s for you. We’re revisiting the mountain story that so many of you loved in my Brave Little Things Newsletter- and adding the deeper layer I didn’t include the first time. In plain language, we’re talking about why we start/stop/start/stop…and how to actually stay. You’ll hear about: The stop–go loop: why second-guessing feels smart in the moment but quietly erodes self-trust...

Work-Life Balance

We’ve all been sold the idea that “balance” is the secret to being a good parent, partner, and business owner. But what if chasing balance is actually what’s making you feel worse? In this episode, we flip the script on work-life balance and invite you to think differently about how you spend your time and energy. I share personal stories about overcorrecting after motherhood, learning to name my seasons, and discovering that true peace doesn’t come from perfect balance, it comes from presenc...

Identity Addictions

What if the stories you tell yourself about who you are: “I’m always late,” “I’m not a leader,” “I’m just a hot mess”, aren’t actually who you are at all? In episode 16, I dive into the idea of identity addictions -the old labels and patterns our brains keep pulling us back to, just like a craving for chips or another scroll through Instagram. These identities feel safe because they’re familiar, but they aren’t the truth of who you are. I’ll share how to recognize when you’re hooked on ...

Why Rest Feels So Hard (But Matters So Much)

Rest isn’t a prize at the end of your to-do list. It’s not something you “get to” after the inbox is at zero or the laundry’s folded. It’s a strategy. A business-building tool. A soul-saving practice. A lifeline. In this episode of Brave Little Things, I’m sharing why rest isn’t a luxury- - it’s the key to building a life and business that actually feels good. I’ll tell you how I went from hustling through exhaustion to treating rest like a skill, and why slowing down gave me access to more j...

How to Let Go of Perfectionism Today

Perfectionism is not the same as doing your very best. It is not the same as striving for more and better. Instead, it is a means by which we deprive ourselves the feelings of satisfaction, fulfillment, and pride. Rather than having a realistic gauge of what is good and complete, we fixate on what is missing or wrong and it can impact so many areas of our lives. In today’s episodes, we’ll explore some possible causes and, as always, some things you can try at home to loosen your perfectionist...
