Ep. 52 How To Actually Let Go (since we aren’t in a Disney movie)
MAR 18th, 2025
Letting go isn’t just about releasing what holds us back, it’s about making space for what we truly want. In this episode, I share what it really takes to let go, because spoiler alert: it’s not as easy as motivational memes makes it seem. We’re not in a Disney movie, and there’s no magical three step process. But there are real, tangible tools including somatic body work, journaling, movement, and even shifting our actions, that can help us release old patterns and step into a new version of ourselves. From relationship dynamics to breaking free from limiting beliefs, I share my personal experiences and the messy, real life process of letting go. This one’s for anyone who’s ready to stop white knuckling life so you can move forward with more ease.

Ep. 31 Inner Critic Series – Don’t Ask For Help
SEP 17th, 2024
In this ongoing series I am talking about the inner critic that tells us not to ask for help. This critic insists we should handle everything on our own and never seek help – after all this is how we have ‘always’ done it. Sometimes this critic manifests as a feeling of guilt rather than an inner dialog. It might even show up as fear – for example in spending money on a coach to advance your career. However it shows up for you, this episode is here to help you navigate these barriers of getting support – which you deserve and have every right to receive. It’s not something you need to earn. Period.
