Hi Reader - Last year, I made the hardest creative decision of my life. I deleted my podcasts—every single episode. 5+ years of work. Hundreds of hours of content Gone. The archives that once reached millions of downloads and offered a lifeline to so many—vanished from public view. Why? Because I changed. The person who created those podcasts no longer existed. And keeping them public was keeping me tethered to a version of myself I had outgrown. Hitting delete was terrifying—and liberating....

Hi Reader - I’m fresh off an extended family gathering where I encountered—gasp!—a difference of opinion. And with the holidays fast approaching, I wanted to share what I’m learning about how to navigate these moments in a way that doesn’t send you spiraling into old, toxic dynamics… and instead helps you stay rooted in your truth while still holding loving space for others. True confession... That “difference of opinion” I mentioned? It’s part of a lifelong relationship that has always been...

Hi Reader - I RECENTLY SAW A REEL CALLED “RAD WIFE”It was a clever spoof on the Trad Wife movement — meant to create space for women who don’t fit that mold.I instantly felt seen. 😂 I’VE NEVER FIT THE TRAD WIFE MOLDComing from a highly conservative, religious background and community, that truth has carried guilt for me since before I even got married.Because… what if I don’t want to be all the things I was told I was supposed to be?But to be a Rad Wife? Count me in. WHAT IS A RAD WIFE?A Rad...

Hi Reader - Last night, my 11-year-old daughter asked me a question about something that came up during a recent extended family dinner. She knew the topic being discussed was probably hard for me to sit with. She worried I might have felt excluded because my personal views and life choices were different. Her big heart is always trying to make sure her mom feels taken care of. I found myself explaining to her that I was genuinely happy for those at the table who were excited about the topic....

Hi Reader - I've really been struggling emotionally these past few weeks with some of the horrific events happening in the world. Tragedy has a way of asking us to reckon — with what we believe about humanity, about life, about ourselves. It also invites us to check in with the state of our own heart. And often, it stirs up old patterns. Especially the ones we reach for when we’re desperate to feel safe. For most of my life, in moments of intense fear or uncertainty, I would pray to a God of...

Hi Reader - Earlier this year, I joined a ten-month coaching program where every week I am coached by a different coach. Because each session is with someone new, I found myself telling the same story of struggle again and again—just to give context. And you know what I saw real quick? Just how much I felt defined by my story. "Let me tell you how much I've suffered through this big trauma so you can know who I am and how to help me." While I definitely experience big breakthroughs in these...

Hi Reader - My mentor, Alyssa Nobriga, often says something that stops me in my tracks every time: "If you judge something, you're stuck with it." Let that sink in. 🙂 The First 40 Years… and the Next I feel like my first 40 years of life were all about learning judgment—from culture, from media, from religion, from family, from my ego, from fear. And now, in this second half of life, I’m learning how to let go of all those judgements. I’m 44 now, and here’s what I can say with confidence:...

Hi Reader - Acceptance has been one of the greatest healing decisions I’ve ever made. So why do we resist it? Why Do We Resist Acceptance? Here are some of the common stories I tell myself: To accept would mean I support, agree with, or condone the situation. To accept means someone doesn’t get the punishment they deserve—including me. To accept means giving in, being walked all over, or staying silent when I should speak up. But here’s the irony: It’s not acceptance that causes those...

Hi Reader - A Thought That Changed My Life Three years ago, I had a thought that changed my life. At the time, I was at a peak of desperation, desperately wanting my circumstances to change. Things in my personal life felt completely out of control. Someone I loved was struggling in ways I just wanted so badly to “fix” inside of them… yet I couldn’t. And the challenge felt unending. I was really losing hope that it would ever resolve for the better. While walking out in nature one day, a...
