What happens when the "good kid," the rule follower, the devoted believer… finally chooses himself?

In today's episode, I sit down with David Archuleta — someone I've loved and admired for years. You remember him at 17 on American Idol, that voice that stopped hearts? Behind the spotlight, though, was a young man wrestling with faith, family pressure, abuse, shame… and questions about who he really was.

In his memoir Devout, David opens up about stepping into his truth, breaking toxic cycles, and what it really costs to live authentically. This conversation is raw. Tender. Honest in a way that might make you pause… and reflect on your own life.

Press play. Listen with an open mind. Listen with an open heart. 💛

And if this conversation sparks something in you, know that private coaching with me is available now — a chance to step into your own truth, break cycles, and choose yourself fully. Click HERE to learn more.

Becoming more of who you are can feel exciting… and also really scary.

In this episode, I'm sharing from my heart about what it truly means to let yourself be fully seen — especially when you're growing, evolving, and stepping into a new version of yourself. That quiet fear of "What will people think?" is real. And so is the belief that it has to look a certain way.

We talk about people-pleasing, old narratives that aren't even yours, and a simple but powerful exercise I use (with myself and my clients) to release the beliefs that are holding you back.

Because real freedom isn't having the perfect life. It's loving and accepting yourself exactly as you are.

If you're feeling the pull to let go of what no longer serves you and show up more fully as yourself, this one is for you.

And if you're ready to go deeper, private coaching with me is available now. Click HERE to learn more.

At the start of a new year, reflection can feel overwhelming. Sometimes it's not about achieving goals—it's about realizing that you survived, you showed up, and you're still here.

In this episode, I guide you through letting go of what no longer serves you, honoring what you've experienced, and exploring the most important investment you'll ever make.

We talk about why investing in yourself can feel uncomfortable, how scarcity mindset keeps us stuck, and how a shift toward abundance—believing I am enough—can change everything. I share practical tools on how to do that so you can move forward this year with clarity, confidence, and empowerment.

If you're ready to go deeper and shift long-standing patterns, build true self-worth, and step into an empowered, abundant way of living, private coaching with me is available now. Click HERE to learn more.

Upcoming Event:

I'm hosting a mid-March, invite-only event in Southeast Idaho for women ready to deepen their growth, embodiment, and self-trust. Details will be shared soon—stay connected for updates.

In this raw conversation with Lindsey Stirling, we dive deep into the life of a performer who has captivated the world with her music, dance, and resilience. Lindsey shares her journey with mental health and the tools she uses to "rewire" her mind.

We explore her healing journey from anorexia and the duality she experiences as both a performer and an imposter. Lindsey also opens up about deconstructing her faith and discovering an eclectic spirituality.

This episode is a reminder that shame cannot survive being spoken, that vulnerability creates community, and that we all have the power to rewrite our inner programming.

Tune in for a conversation filled with honesty, hope, and practical tools for anyone navigating the complex dance between self-doubt and self-belief.

Listen, reflect, and rewrite the story you tell yourself.
