After a season of change and messy transitions, Mikki returns to the mic with a powerful new direction for the podcast. In this solo episode, she opens up about navigating her own life shifts and why thinking our way out of relationship struggles doesn't work.


Mikki explores the three key paths we face when relationships feel stuck — repair, release, and re-imagine — and why true clarity comes from nervous system regulation, self-trust, and inner stillness. Whether you're questioning a marriage, navigating co-parenting dynamics, or simply ready to stop looping through the same patterns, this conversation will help you expand your perspective, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and take grounded steps forward.


It's time to stop overanalyzing and start listening to the truth within.


In this episode, Mikki shares:

  • Life transitions are rarely neat or linear. Even when change is intentional, it can feel messy, emotional, and uncertain — and that's normal.
  • True clarity begins with nervous system regulation. Stillness allows you to hear your own inner wisdom and make grounded decisions from within.
  • There are three main pathways forward in stuck relationships:
    Repair — Rebuilding trust, boundaries, and emotional safety.
    Release — Grieving and letting go to create space for something new.
    Re-imagine — Evolving the relationship to match who you are today.
  • Rigid "either/or" thinking keeps us stuck. Expanding your perspective opens new options you may not have seen before.
  • Self-trust is a muscle. Hearing your inner nudges is one step — building the willingness and capacity to follow them is the real work.
  • Our children should never carry adult emotional baggage. How we choose to navigate relationships directly impacts the legacy we leave for them.
  • You always have a choice. Even if others aren't choosing well, you can decide how you want to show up — with clarity, integrity, and leadership.

Bible verse from Psalm 46:10 (KJV): "Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth."
