"Everyone's chasing, chasing something. And once you figure out that it's just the pure joy in creating your life, you will get to probably even better than what you're trying to chase."

Topics Discussed
  • Challenges of Modern Living: Discussing the unrealistic expectations placed on individuals, particularly women, in terms of productivity and multi-tasking.
  • Personal Growth and Healing: Insights into personal development through therapy, coaching, and self-reflection.
  • Parenting in Modern Times: Addressing the complexities of raising children in a privileged society and teaching them valuable life skills.
  • Mental and Emotional Wellness: Exploring the importance of mental health, stress management, and giving oneself permission to rest.
  • Empowerment Through Responsibility: Encouraging taking radical responsibility for one’s happiness and life choices.
  • Community and Support: The significance of community support in personal and parenting roles.

"I mean, it just comes down to the radical responsibility, right? Because I was that person who had it all and still wasn't happy."

We're diving deep into the whirlwind of modern life and how we juggle the hats of being parents, professionals, and individuals striving for personal growth. We laughed, we got real, and we unpacked some heavy truths about the pressures we face every day. From debunking the myth of 'having it all' to embracing the messiness of life, we covered it all.

Whether you're a busy mom trying to find a moment of peace or someone seeking a deeper understanding of self, this chat was packed with heartfelt insights and practical advice. Remember, it's all about the choices we make and finding joy in the journey!

"I'm doing tango, not for any of the reasons, just it lights me up."
