In this episode, we explore what it means to be stuck in survival mode—mentally, emotionally, and physically—and how many of us are living from a place of fear, habit, and urgency without realizing it. Survival mode can look like over-functioning, people-pleasing, emo...

In this episode, we’re diving into what it really means to trust yourself—especially after years of self-doubt, people-pleasing, or putting everyone else’s needs ahead of your own. Self-trust isn’t about always having the answers or getting it right every time. It’s about knowing that you’ll show up for yourself, tell the truth abou...

In this episode, we take a deeper look at the slow, often unnoticed ways we begin to disconnect from ourselves—especially when survival, acceptance, or love seemed to depend on it.

In this episode, we explore how emotional avoidance and self-abandonment often disguise themselves as being “helpful,” “productive,” or “strong.” Whether it's saying yes too quickly, fixing others’ emotions, or numbing out with distractions, these patterns are not bad habits - they’re survival strategies we picked up when it wasn’t ...

Today, we kick off the month’s theme of Reclaiming Inner Safety by unpacking why so many of us live in a constant state of disconnection. From racing thoughts and emotional numbing to people-pleasing and overfunctioning, we explore how early life experiences—like trauma, chronic stress, or invalidation—teach us that it’s not safe to...

If you've ever found yourself holding back in conversation, choosing your words carefully, scanning the other person's face, or thinking three steps ahead just to avoid conflict, you’re not alone. Emotional honesty isn’t something we magically access. It’s something that grows in the presence of safety. In this episode, we're explor...

We’re often told that courage is about inner strength…that we have to dig deep and face the fear alone. But that’s not how it actually works. Courage is a relational experience. We’re more likely to take brave steps when we feel emotionally safe, supported, and connected. In this episode, we’re exploring how safe belonging, not just...

So many of us believe we should be able to be brave on our own. That courage is something we’re supposed to summon from within—without asking for help, without needing anyone. But what if that idea is quietly keeping us stuck? In this episode, we look at what really fuels courage, and how our early experiences with connection—or the...

In this episode, we’re exploring the invisible ways boundary issues show up in our everyday routines - especially in how we manage time, energy, and expectations.

In this episode, I sit down with confidence coach Sue Reid for an honest and empowering conversation about what it really means to have self-confidence.

We all have patterns we wish we could break—procrastination, people-pleasing, perfectionism—but what if the real reason we stay stuck isn’t what we think? In this episode, we’re exploring the quiet, powerful force behind so many of these cycles: shame. Not the kind that shouts, but the kind that whispers just enough to keep us second-guessing ourselves, over-fun...

There are patterns we carry that don’t always make sense at first—like why we feel guilty for saying no, why success makes us uncomfortable, or why we shrink ourselves in moments when we should feel proud. In this episode, we’re exploring one of the most overlooked but powerful forces behind those reactions. It’s something that shows up quietly, influences how ...

Growth isn’t just about changing yourself—it’s about changing the way you engage with the world around you. And as you evolve, it’s natural to find that some relationships no longer align with where you’re headed. This isn’t a sign that something is wrong; it’s proof that you’re making real progress. While it can be difficult to navigate the tension, grief, o...
