    AP 813: How I’m Feeling the Day Before My Book is Published || + Why Writing This Book Felt Personal and What I Hope it Changes in the Self-Help Industry at Large
    2026/09/07
    In this episode I'm getting real with you the day before my book Sticky Habits officially publishes. This isn't a heavily outlined or scripted episode — it's a fireside chat where I'm sharing honestly about what this moment feels like from the inside. I talk about the intense, exhausting year it's been, the stress that's shown up in my body, the self-doubt that keeps creeping in alongside the excitement, and how publishing a book that's so deeply personal feels like standing at mile 25 of a marathon with no idea what waits on the other side of the finish line. I also share my hopes for what this book can do — not just for my own work and family, but for women everywhere who deserve a better, more realistic approach to habits. And I get honest about the choice I know I'll have to keep making: to pay attention to the empty chairs or the full ones. This episode is my way of thanking you for being part of this journey, and asking you to help me carry this book across the finish line.

  • What If Getting Hit in the Face Is Part of the Process? || H&K with Heather Chauvin

    What If Getting Hit in the Face Is Part of the Process? || H&K with Heather Chauvin
    2026/09/05
    Heather Chauvin has a metaphor for change that's going to stick with you: double dutch. You're standing outside the ropes, terrified of getting smacked, but the courage is in jumping in anyway — even if it hurts. In this clip, Heather gets into why personal development and self improvement rarely happen in comfort, and why building real confidence means being willing to jump back in after you've been knocked down. She also shares one of her go-to daily habits for feeling happier: the "wouldn't it be nice if" journal prompt, a low-pressure way to notice what you actually want instead of white-knuckling your way toward rigid goals. For the moms in our community who feel stuck between wanting change and freezing up at the fear of it, this one's for you. You don't need it all figured out to take the next small step — a glass of water, a blocked-off Friday, whatever scares you a little. It's also a good reminder on how to stop being a perfectionist about your own growth: drop the need to do it flawlessly, and just start.

    AP 811: Stop Doing it All: How to Get Your Kids to Help, Without Nagging || with Sam Kelly
    2026/08/31
    If you've ever felt like you're the only one who notices what needs to be done in your home—and you're tired of carrying that invisible weight—this episode is for you. I'm sitting down with Sam Kelly, therapist-turned-coach and author of the upcoming book Notice and Do, to talk about how we can teach our kids to share the mental load without adding another complicated system to our plates. We dive into what invisible labor really looks like (the brain work and the heart work), why noticing is a learned skill just like tying shoes, and how one small daily practice can transform your household over time. Sam's story hit me hard—she had the same light bulb moment I did, realizing that by doing it all ourselves, we're unintentionally teaching our kids that burnout is just part of being a mom. We talk about moving from martyr energy to mentor energy, letting go of perfectionism around chores, and raising kids who become cycle breakers. If you want practical, deeply validating advice that will lighten your load and change the narrative for the next generation, you won't want to miss this one.

  • Finding Belonging Through Deeper Connection || H&K with Jasmine Bradshaw

    Finding Belonging Through Deeper Connection || H&K with Jasmine Bradshaw
    2026/08/29
    If you've ever walked into a room and felt like you just don't fit — this one's for you. In this clip, Jasmine Bradshaw shares something that completely reframes what it means to feel different: the very thing that makes you feel like an outsider can actually become one of your biggest tools for connection.This is personal development in its most practical form. Jasmine breaks down how she learned to stop chasing surface-level fitting in and start building real, lasting connection instead — and she gives us two daily habits anyone can start using immediately: get curious about the spaces you're in before you try to change them, and get honest about your own values so you can actually voice them. It's simple, it's actionable, and it's the kind of self improvement advice that sticks because it doesn't ask you to become someone else.At its heart, this conversation is about self-compassion — giving yourself permission to see your differences as a gift instead of a flaw, and understanding that everyone, underneath it all, wants the same things: to feel happy, healthy, confident, and connected to people who really see them. That shift alone can be one of the most freeing parts of personal growth and development, especially for moms who so often put their own sense of belonging last.

    AP 810: Remember When: 2023 || Newborn Struggles, Joy Amid Hardship, and Fighting for the Podcast's Future
    2026/08/27
    I'm opening the 2023 time capsule — the year I had a newborn who wouldn't sleep, a body that wouldn't cooperate, and a podcast that hit a wall. I called it my survival year. But amid the exhaustion, I found gardening, sourdough, and a community that reminded me being present is being productive. I'm also sharing the conversations that carried me through — Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife on self-expansion and Dr. Tanmeet Sethi on choosing joy when happiness isn't available — plus the hard truth that I paid to work that year and what it forced me to face about the future of About Progress. Old episodes to support: Interviews with Jennifer Finlayson-Fife, Emiy Nagoski, Taylor Morrison, Jess Massey, Arielle Estoria, Janssen Bradshaw, Brittney Hanks, Alyssa Blask Campbell, Julie Rose, Tanmeet Sethi .

  • A Surprising Truth About People-Pleasing + How to Stop Without Feeling Guilty || with Michelle Gauthier

    A Surprising Truth About People-Pleasing + How to Stop Without Feeling Guilty || with Michelle Gauthier
    2026/08/24
    I'm sitting down with life coach Michelle Gauthier to unpack people-pleasing — that thing so many of us do disguised as just being nice. Michelle drops a reframe that gave me a full-body reaction: people-pleasing isn't really about kindness, it's about trying to control how others see us. The real gift of this conversation is Michelle's Love and Fit Test — two simple questions that help you pause before automatically saying yes: Do I absolutely love this idea, and does this fit into the type of life I'm trying to create? We walk through real examples, from lunch invitations to setting boundaries with family, and explore how making yourself part of the equation doesn't mean you're the only factor — just that you finally count.

  • From Fear & Anger to Lasting Change || H&K with Brooke Snow

    From Fear & Anger to Lasting Change || H&K with Brooke Snow
    2026/08/22
    Brooke Snow gets real about the moment everything fell apart — and the moment that changed everything. After a near-death experience following childbirth, Brooke was quietly battling PTSD, panic attacks, and a depression that showed up as anger and disconnection from the people she loved most. In this clip, she takes us to the breaking point: a moment of losing her temper with her kids that left her collapsed on the ground in shame. But what happened next became the foundation for real, lasting change — a wave of self-compassion that shifted everything. This is a powerful look at what self-compassion actually looks like in the middle of a hard season, and how healing rarely comes from one big fix. For Brooke, it was daily habits — meditation, movement, support, consistency — layered together over time. If you're a mom in the thick of survival mode, feeling like you've lost yourself or lost your patience, this conversation is a reminder that personal growth and development doesn't require perfection. It just requires starting. Self care for mothers isn't selfish — it's often the very thing that makes us able to show up as the people we want to be.
