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:
How do you honestly feel?
How do you want to feel?
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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
