Your Utmost Life

Do you ever feel completely exhausted, even after a full night's sleep? That bone-deep weariness might not be about rest at all.

The fatigue many of us experience goes deeper than physical tiredness—it's about losing connection with our authentic selves beneath all our roles and responsibilities. As mothers, we've mastered the art of caring for everyone else while gradually disconnecting from our own needs and desires...

Have you ever hidden a self-help book? Closed a browser tab when someone walked by? Downplayed that you’re seeing a therapist or coach?

You’re not alone. That moment of shame isn’t just yours—it’s part of a deeply rooted belief many women carry: If I need help, it means I’m weak or broken. But what if that belief is the very thing keeping you stuck, disconnected, and exhausted?

In this powerful episode of the Your Utmost Life podcast...

Shame has a way of silencing us—especially when speaking up would serve us most. Have you ever tucked away a self-help book when someone walked in? Or made a casual excuse for that personal growth video that “just started playing”? That tiny flicker of concealment reveals something deeper: a quiet belief that needing help means you’re somehow broken.

This belief is part of a cultural myth that strong women should figure it all out a...

You've done it all—affirmations, vision boards, gratitude journals. You’ve picked your word of the year, whispered “I am enough” into your mirror, and tried to stay positive… but something still feels off.

It’s because you’re building on a fou...

Have you ever plastered motivational quotes on your mirror, dutifully recited affirmations, or created vision boards—only to still feel invisible and overwhelmed? That nagging sense of falling short isn’t because you’re broken or haven’t found the right mantra. It’s because we’ve been building our personal growth on the wrong foundation.

In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on what I call “the False Healing Trap”—our cult...

Have you ever felt like you're living someone else's story? That strange limbo where you've given so much of yourself away that you barely recognize what's left? You're not alone.

Somewhere along the way, many of us adopted the belief that clarity must come before action—that we need to have everything figured out before taking even the first step toward change. This seemingly logical approach is a...

Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered, "Who am I beyond being a mom?" That question might seem small, but it's profoundly important. According to research, 71% of mothers report being most strongly defined by their roles as mothers—a number that jumps to 87% for those not in the workforce. When that all-consuming role shifts, many women find themselves in what I call the "invisible mama syndrome,"...

Are you tired of being tired—but still feel like slowing down means letting people down?

In today’s episode, we’re unpacking the quiet belief so many women carry: “If I can just push through, everything will be okay.” But what if that belief is the very thing keeping you from the energy, joy, and connection you crave?

Misty shares the vulnerable story of her own burnout—and the moment her daughter said something that changed everythi...

🎙️ Episode 8: Breaking Free From the "Now What?" Story

You’ve spent years being the glue, the organizer, the nurturer. And now that your kids are becoming more independent—or have already left—you’re left standing in unfamiliar stillness, questioning who you are without the day-to-day rhythm of motherhood.

In this heartfelt and powerful episode, Misty...

Most women, especially moms, get to a point where they believe that life happens to them rather than for them. They think their best years are behind them, that they should just adapt to whatever comes their way, and that intentional life planning is something reserved for twenty-somethings.
