"You are allowed to disappoint someone else before you betray your beautiful self." Me :)
Spring is blooming, and so is your calendar—and if you’re anything like me, you’ve looked at your upcoming schedule and thought, “What the heck… how am I going to do it all?” This episode is a soul-centered pep talk and a practical strategy session rolled into one. Whether you’re a mom juggling end-of-year madness, a woman navigating life transitions, or someone simply trying to breathe through the chaos, this one’s for you.
I’m sharing raw, real moments (yes, including peeing my pants at a soccer game) to remind you that you’re not alone—and more importantly, you don’t have to sacrifice yourself to survive the spring season. From emotional overwhelm to overloaded to-do lists, I’ve been there—and I’m giving you the exact tools that are helping me thrive right now. It’s time to reclaim your peace, protect your presence, and actually enjoy this crazy, beautiful life.
If this episode gave you a breath of fresh air, do me a favor—follow, rate, and review the podcast. And please share it with a fellow sister navigating the beautiful chaos. Because when women live in alignment with their truest selves, the world shifts. And we need that more than ever. 💛
Until next time, keep showing up. You’re not alone—and you’ve got this.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
