When I first started Warmly, Magnolia, I didn’t imagine it would become such a space of reflection — not just for my listeners, but for me, too.
I created this podcast because I’ve always believed that healing starts with honesty. The kind that’s uncomfortable. The kind that makes you sit still for a moment and ask, “Why do I keep doing this?” or “What am I really afraid of?”
That’s where Warmly, Magnolia came from — a blend of my work as a therapist, my personal experiences with love and loss, and my own lessons in boundaries, vulnerability, and self-worth.
I’m not here to talk at you — I’m here to grow with you. To remind you that you can have depth and softness. Strength and stillness. That your story doesn’t have to be perfect to be powerful.
When I sit down to record, I think about the those of us who’ve been through enough to know what pain feels like — but are still brave enough to believe in healing. That’s my audience. That’s my “why.”
I named this episode “Magnolia, The Voice. The Vision. The Mood.” because Warmly, Magnolia isn’t just a podcast. It’s an energy. It’s a mirror. And it’s a love letter to everyone who’s learning to choose themselves — one boundary, one conversation, one breath at a time.
So as you listen today, I hope you hear my story and see a bit of your own reflected back. Because Warmly, Magnolia isn’t about perfection — it’s about presence. And that’s exactly what I bring here, every time I press record.
Warmly,
Magnolia
