Body image is the #1 shame trigger for women, yet so many of us struggle silently. Why is that? The answer is simple: society has normalized outlandish beauty standards. So, instead of asking for support, we blame ourselves, thinking, "Every other woman can maintain the perfect figure, so why can't I?" and "There must be something wrong with me." If those thoughts sound familiar, I want to help you unravel those lies from your inner critic and society. Tune in today, and let's get real about body image and squash any beliefs that are making you feel bad about the way you look.

Do you find yourself swooping in to save the day for your kids every time something goes wrong? You're not alone. As caring parents, we often default to 'rescue mode.' The problem is that kids need space to fail, dust themselves off, and keep going. They can only do that if we give them the room to try independently. If you struggle to stand by while your kids face challenges, catch this episode for tips and tricks. I'm sharing psychological insights and (real and raw) personal lessons to help you get better at letting go each day.  Tune in, and let's learn how to make tough but positive parenting choices together.

Grief is hard to talk about because it usually feels isolating or scary The problem with that? Healing can't happen in a vacuum. We NEED to feel heard and understood to heal, but It's hard to find the right words to express the pain we're feeling. Or a listening ear willing to hear us without judgment. That's why today, I'm peeling back the layers of grief by using one of my most difficult losses as an example to walk through Brené Brown's 3 elements of grief. I hope that this episode will remind you that we all have a grief story. Whether you've experienced a devastating loss or something small, you're never alone. And it's okay if your path to healing isn't linear – it was never meant to be.
