Sweat & Reflect

Sweat & Reflect

Sweat & Reflect is a podcast designed for the woman who is has realized that there is purpose in her pain & that she has a voice worth using. Honestly, she's kind of sick of checking off the proverbial boxes that society expects of her (think marriage, baby & house all by 35). She is focused on finding her voice through real discussions of addiction, wellness, loss, grief, and joy. Most importantly, Sweat & Reflect will help her realize that even when life is painful, life is happening FOR her, not to her.

Not sure what the SAVE Act is & why it matters?  Press play as I walk you through the bill, what the implications of it are & why you need you to educate yourself on this ASAP.

hi friend,

today we're jumping in to a controversial topic: to have a kid or not to have a kid...especially in this current climate.

the decision to have a kid is always super personal & the stakes are always high... i mean, you're signing up to keep another human alive forever...but since the election the stakes to have a kid seem even higher.

hi friend,

today i'm owning my ignorance.  i'm owning that i have not done enough to use this platform to truly highlight what's important -- stories from women & people of all backgrounds, all experiences.

i thought that if i knew where i stood, if i educated myself, if i cared about other people that that would be enough.  unfortunately, this past week has taught me that that is not the case. ...

welcome back! while there were other topics floating in my head for this week's episode, it felt incredibly important to take the time to remember those we lost 23 years ago today on September 11, 2001.

that day changed all of our lives in some way - for some, they lost their loved ones; for others, their view of the world shattered.

no matter how you were impacted, i hope you take today t...
