I couldn’t change the hill...but I could change how much I suffered on it. That moment became a metaphor for something I see constantly in hi...

Repairing resentments and the rite of passage into parenthood: a relationship tell-all with my husband

We share the process we used with our Gottman coach, how we learned to repair faster, and the rituals we created to rebuild trust and adoration as we transition from pregnancy parenthood. If you crave a partnership that evolves instead of erodes, this is your road...

Preparing for Birth Taught Me the Same Thing I Tell My Clients About Triggers
As I prepare for birth for the first time, I’ve been deep in hypnobirthing... practicing how to breathe, soften, and surrender through each surge. And what’s wild is how much it mirrors the work I do with my clients around emotional triggers! In both labor and life, the body tightens, the mind tries to control, and the invitation is the same: breathe instead of resist. This episode is about what hypnobirthing is teaching me before birth-about presence, trust, and letting intensity move throug...

Fear vs. Intuition: how to know which is which!
Do you ever wonder if your spidey senses are telling you NOT to do something or if it's a fear of taking a big leap? Many coaching clients have asked me how to tell the difference between fear (which means we probably SHOULD do something and play BIG) and intuition (when our self guidance is telling us something is off). In this episode, you'll learn the steps to take to decipher the difference between fear and intuition so you can be guided by an unshakable sense of self trust!
