Hey mama,

This week’s Monday Mindset is for anyone who’s ever lost themselves in the packing lists, matching outfits, and never-ending to-dos… and needed a gentle reminder that the real magic isn’t in the plan…it’s in the moment.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a personal story as I prepare for a meaningful trip to Ireland with my family... celebrating my mama’s 80th birthday, reconnecting with family across the globe, and showing ...

Hi Mamas,

If January’s goals feel like a distant memory and your vision board is collecting more dust than motivation…this episode is your permission slip to pause, breathe, and hit reset.

In this powerful and heartfelt mid-year check-in, I’m walking you through a step-by-step process to reflect, realign, and recommit to the goals that still matter… and let go of the ones that don’t.

No guilt. No pressure. Just a grounded and grace...

Hi Mamas,

This week, we’re talking about something that’s super important… your mid-year check-in.

Because let’s be real: this is the time of year when a lot of moms quietly give up on their goals. We start the year with energy and intention… shiny planners, inspiring Pinterest boards, and big dreams. But then? Life. Starts. Life-ing.

Deadlines pile up. School schedules explode. You fall behind on one goal, then another, and sudden...

Hi Mamas,

In today’s episode, I’m opening up about a very personal health scare that brought anxiety to the forefront of my life in a way I hadn’t experienced before. From scary symptoms and MRIs to EEGs and the men...

Hi Mamas,

This week, we’re starting with a deep truth bomb:

“Worry does not take away tomorrow’s troubles—it takes away today’s peace.”

Let’s be real—we’ve all been there. Tossing and turning at 2 a.m., spiraling through every what if like it's your full-time job. Worry can feel like a form of control… but spoiler alert: it’s not. It’s your nervous system waving a giant “Danger!” flag—even when things are okay.

In this mindset drop...

Hi Mamas,

I today’s episode, we’re diving into a powerful (and sometimes uncomfortable) topic that every overwhelmed mom needs in her toolkit… how to say NO with confidence, clarity, and kindness.

Hi Mamas,

If you’ve ever found yourself reheating the same cup of coffee for the third time—while RSVP-ing “sure, I’ll bake 48 gluten-free, dairy-free, unicorn-shaped cupcakes”… today’s episode is for you.

We’re diving into Paulo Coelho’s reminder:

“When you say ‘yes’ to others, make sure you’re not saying ‘no’ to yourself.”

Because every yes comes with an invoice… paid in sleep, sanity, or that bedtime snuggle you promised your ki...

Hi Mamas,

If you’ve ever tried to run a Zoom call while cutting grapes, negotiating peace during a toddler tantrum, and pointing wildly to a "quiet!" sign taped to your door... this one’s for you.

In this episode, we cover:

Hey mama,

Today’s Monday Mindset episode is your permission slip to stop trying to do it all at once and start creating space for what actually matters.

So we’re diving all the way in this week! Let’s be real…making friends as a grown woman is just plain awkward. It’s not like when we were little and you could walk up on the playground and say, “Wanna be friends?” and that was that. Now it takes ...
