In this episode, I had the absolute joy of sitting down with the radiant Miranda Werkheiser. From the moment she started speaking, I knew this conversation was going to touch hearts. Miranda shared her powerful journey—from becoming a mom before graduating high school to stepping into her calling as a speaker and guide for women. Her story is one of deep courage, alignment, and choosing joy even in the midst of challenge.
What I love about Miranda is how she’s broken generational cycles of trauma and pain in her lineage—and how she’s doing the work not just for herself, but for her children and the women who come after her. We talked about the importance of grounding practices, how energy shifts when we speak our truth, and how alignment shows up as a feeling in our bodies.
We also explored how easy it is to take on others’ energy, and how vital it is to stay rooted in our own. Miranda walked us through how she uses breath to come back to herself, and how she’s learned to say “no” and honor her inner knowing—a lesson so many of us can relate to.
This conversation is for anyone who’s ever felt the weight of family patterns, self-neglect, or shame… and is ready to choose joy, freedom, and self-prioritization instead.
