The thing that keeps us stuck isn’t the nos—it’s the maybes we keep trying to force into a decision before we’re ready. In this episode, I’m sharing a lesson I stumbled onto while watching my husband clean out his closet in 15 minutes flat, and how it became the framework I use for everything from what stays on my calendar to what I’m actually saying yes to in this season of life.

If you’re ...

We don't always have crystal clarity. In fact, most of the time we don't—and yet life keeps asking us to move forward anyway. The questions pile up: big ones, small ones, ones your brain keeps circling back to even after you've tried to release them. In this episode, I share a simple practice for getting those questions out of your head and into a place where they can actually rest, so you can be present for the life that's r...

When writing a eulogy feels impossible, the way in isn't through the grief—it's through a song. That's what I discovered after losing my mom fifteen months after my memoir, "Girl in the Spotlight" was published, a book in which our mother-daughter story was woven all the way through. I'm sharing her eulogy today because music does something that even a writer reaches for when words aren't enough, and I want to show you how it...

I'm also sharing my full conversation with Ian Levitt of Studio Americana,...

Two years after publication, my memoir Girl in the Spotlight is now an audiobook.

Some conversations find you at exactly the right moment. This one found me in a gift shop.

I met Gina Moore at the register of her store Pluff Mud Mercantile in Charleston on a day when I was grieving more than I realized. What started as help finding a birthday gift for a friend turned into a thirty-minute conversation that shifted something in me. I left feeling more like myself than I had in weeks.

In this episode Gina and I final...

This conversation is about what it actually looks like to build something meaningful without sacrifi...

Jonathan "Mookie" Morant had one of the most remarkable careers in music you've probably never heard about. He wrote and produced for the Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, Justin Timberlake, and Queen Latifah — and then walked away from all of it to be present for his kids. His memoir The Happy Has Been is about what he found on the other side of that choice.
