Behind the Scenes: I Can’t Keep Doing It All - At Least, Not At The Same Time

I’m doing something a little different today. Instead of answering a listener question, I want to bring you behind the scenes of my life and work—because there are some big changes happening.

For a long time, I’ve been balancing my therapy practice, this podcast, my family, and my dreams for what’s next. And honestly? It’s been a lot. Like so many of you, I’ve found myself trying to do everything at once, refusing to put anything down, and running into the same wall over and over again.

So today, I’m sharing why I’ve made a tough decision: for this next season - at least the next few months - this podcast will be airing every other week. I’m taking a step back—not because I want to do less, but because I want to do more in a way that’s sustainable and impactful.

And I want to invite you to reflect on your own life, too: Is there something you need to adjust, uncommit from, or rework so that you can move forward in a way that actually works?

In this episode, I’ll talk about:

✅ The reality of trying to build something big while managing real life

✅ The hard truth about why we resist scaling back

✅ A challenge for you to rethink what you’re holding onto

Plus: If you want to stay connected between episodes, make sure you’re on my email list—where I share thoughts, updates, and behind-the-scenes moments I don’t always talk about on the podcast.
