91. How to Make Magic When Life Is Hard: 3 Ingredients for Reinvention

Life doesn’t have to be easy for magic to be possible.


This podcast breaks down how to create magic when life is lifing—not by bypassing pain or waiting for better circumstances, but by learning how to work with reality instead of against it.


If you’ve been in a season of hardship, grief, burnout, or transition, this episode names what’s actually required to turn the mess into momentum.


Inside you'll learn:


  • The 3 non-negotiable ingredients for reinvention

  • Why commitment matters more than motivation

  • The kind of emotional risk that actually changes your life

  • How to stop judging your circumstances and start using them

  • What “presence” really means when things aren’t going your way


This isn’t about manufacturing a better mood.
It’s about learning how to create peace, confidence, and forward motion from the inside out—especially when life feels heavy and hard.

90. What if You're Wrong About Who You Are?

If you’ve been getting the same outcomes no matter how hard you try, this conversation will challenge you to examine the assumptions you’re living from. We talk about discomfort as a necessary part of personal growth, how identity shapes behavior, and why exploring the edges of who you think you are is essential for meaningful change.


This episode is for anyone feeling stuck, outgrowing an old version of themselves, or sensing that reinvention is calling—but isn’t sure where to begin.


You’ll explore:

  • Why identity—not effort—is often the real bottleneck

  • The value of being wrong about who you are

  • How discomfort signals growth, not failure

  • What it actually takes to create different results in your life


If you’re ready to loosen your grip on an outdated self-concept and step into a more honest, expansive version of yourself, start here.

89. The Life Waiting for You on the Other Side of Reinvention

In this episode I take you through a real day in the life after reinvention—a day shaped by ease, congruence, and aligned action instead of hustle, pressure, and “productivity.” 


I share what my days used to look like (constant busyness, overcommitting, burnout, perfectionism)… and what they look like now that I no longer measure myself by how much I get done.


You’ll hear exactly how identity-level reinvention changes your energy, your actions, your pace, and the way you move through the world. This is the lived difference between hustling for your worth and creating from who you are.


If you're craving a life that feels spacious, grounded, and genuinely energizing, this one's for you...

88. What Reinvention Really Looks Like (and How to Know You’re Ready)

If you feel a more satisfying life calling your name, this episode shows you what real reinvention requires — and why the next version of your life won’t be built from who you used to be. I break down the seven stages of reinvention, how ambitious women outgrow their old success formulas, and the signs you’re ready to step into a more aligned, expressed, successful AND grounded version of yourself. If you’ve been craving clarity, purpose, and a life that finally matches your potential, this is your invitation.

Working your ass off but still not getting the results you want? In this episode of my reinvention series, I break down the real reason high-achieving women stay stuck—even when they’re seemingly doing everything right. Spoiler: you’re solving the wrong problem.


We cover:

  • How faulty questions keep your brain in cycles of toxic stress

  • What it takes to get an accurate diagnosis of your real issue

  • How to retrain your mind to access higher-level solutions

  • The emotional regulation skill no one taught you (but changes everything)

86. Tired of Holding It All Together? Start Here

Feeling burned out, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself?


This episode dives into the quiet chronic burnout so many high-achieving women carry — the emotional exhaustion, the constant pressure to hold everything together, and the numbness that causes us to go on autopilot.


We explore how toxic stress cycles form, why they feel impossible to escape, and how to move from awareness to real agency using the reinvention framework that has helped my clients reclaim confidence, clarity, and self-trust.


Here are the 3 primary questions to get you started:

  1. How do you honestly feel?

  2. How do you want to feel?

  3. Who do you want to be, and how do you want to live?


If you’re ready to break up with toxic stress once and for all, my private coaching program. Applications for Your Year of Reinvention open December 2. Sign up to my email list HERE to be the first to know!

85. Burnout, Breakdowns & Breakthroughs: Making Crises Work for You

Burnout isn’t failure — it’s feedback.


In this episode, we unpack how breakdowns are often the start of breakthroughs, and why the goal isn’t to bounce back but to rebuild better.


You’ll learn how to spot the early signs of burnout, interrupt the cycle before everything collapses, and rebuild in a way that’s clearer, stronger, and actually aligned.


I share two real client stories — one in a crumbling marriage, one facing career burnout — to show you how crisis can become the catalyst for reinvention when you know how to lead yourself through it.


If you’ve been holding it together for everyone else, this one’s your sign to hold space for you.

84. Feeling Trapped by ‘Shoulds’? How to Start Living from Desire Instead of Obligation

I should be grateful. This should be enough for me. I should be further along by now… should just say yes… should play by the rules. 

…Sound familiar? Yeah.

On this episode of Feel Better For Good we’re roasting the ‘Should Life’ — the invisible rulebook that keeps high-functioning women small and quietly miserable. Listen to learn how to spot it, how to burn it, and how to start making decisions based on desire instead of duty.

81. A Pep Talk for When You’ve Lost Steam

Ever feel like what you’re doing doesn’t matter, or what you’re doing isn’t enough?

In this episode, I share how I’ve faced that same voice — the one that says “why bother?” — and what it’s taken to keep showing up for this podcast (and myself).

If you’ve been questioning your impact or are tired of trying, this one’s for you. You may be relying too much on external feedback for motivation, instead of digging deep and having your own back.

Let’s talk about finding meaning, staying the course, and choosing to believe that it all adds up… even when it doesn’t feel like it.

76. Freedom from Perfectionism, Pt 1: Embrace Life’s 50/50

In this first conversation on perfectionist recovery, we unpack what it means to live fully as a fallible, complicated human — and why rejecting the “hard half” of life only makes us suffer more. We’ll look at how to:

  • Stop weaponizing your pain and discomfort

  • Hold space for negative emotions without letting them run the show

  • Start embracing your more challenging qualities as part of what makes you most lovable

  • Truly have your own back

The invitation is simple: let all of you be here. Not because it’s easy, but because it’s the only way to live a full, rich life that actually feels like yours.


Intentional thoughts to foster:

I am amazing when I’m up, I’m amazing when I’m down

I am lovable when I’m on good behavior

I am lovable when I’m on bad behavior

All of me is acceptable

All of me is allowed

I am worth supporting

I am easy to root for

75. How to Stop Worrying & Love the Human Experience

Enjoy the recording of my recent masterclass The Joy Code and the story of how I’ve used this 4-part process to transform some of the toughest experiences of my life. 

Life isn’t meant to be easy. Sometimes worry feels like the only reasonable response. There’s no way around loss, conflict, disappointment, and change. But hardship has an inherent value. And fear and worry are optional…

In this episode of Feel Better for Good, you’ll find that creating joy isn’t about ignoring the hard stuff. It’s a new way of meeting it. The Joy Code is a framework for moving directly through struggle with more ease, peace, and resilience. Instead of getting swallowed by worry or resistance, you’ll learn exactly how to stay grounded, soften into the moment, and find real joy in being human—even when it hurts.
