Episode 28: In this episode of Getting Through Today, we explore a powerful shift in how we see depression — not as a failure, but as an injury that requires care, time, and the right support to heal.

I share a personal story about a recent season that reactivated old pain and reminded me of the darkest chapters of my life. Through a moment of prayer and reflection, I realized how differently I treat physical injuries compared to emotional ones — and how much compassion I withhold from myself.

We’ll talk about:

• How shame and self-judgment compound depression’s weight.

• Why emotional injuries deserve the same patience and tools as physical injuries.

• Practical, science-backed healing tools you can start using today.

• The importance of giving yourself “emotional crutches” like rest, safe people, and nervous system resets.

If you’ve ever felt like you should “just be stronger” or “snap out of it,” I hope this conversation gives you permission to soften — and to see your healing for what it is: courageous, important, and worthy of support.

Episode 27: Sometimes when we share what we’re going through, people rush to respond with solutions, advice, or “positive” reframes. But in the process, they can unintentionally skip over the most important thing — acknowledging the pain.

In this episode, I’m exploring the difference between compassion and correction, and why trying to fix someone can sometimes create more disconnection than comfort. I’ll share personal stories about times I’ve needed presence more than answers, and what I’ve learned about truly holding space for others in their hardest moments.

Whether you’re navigating your own healing or walking alongside someone else in theirs, this conversation is a reminder that empathy is often the most powerful thing we can offer.

You’ve done the protocols. You’ve taken the supplements. You’ve followed the routines.
But still… something feels stuck.
This episode might be the missing piece.

In today’s conversation, I’m opening up about the emotional layers of healing we don’t talk about enough — the ones that live beneath the surface, buried in the body, silently shaping how we feel, function, and show up in the world.

We’ll explore:
💛 What emotional suppression really looks like
💛 How unfelt emotions can stall your healing — physically, mentally, and spiritually
💛 What it means to experience emotional freedom — not perfection
💛 Simple tools and practices to help you start feeling again… safely
💛 A healing breathwork vision that changed the way I see emotions

If you’ve ever wondered why your healing still feels incomplete, this episode is for you.
Your feelings aren’t too much. They’re too important to ignore.

Let this be your permission slip to feel it all — not just the polished parts.

Episode 25: What happens when you’re the strong one — the caregiver — but your own needs quietly disappear in the process?

In this episode, I’m joined by my very first guest… my husband, Jeff.
Together, we open up about what caregiving really looks like behind the scenes — the emotional toll, the hidden grief, and the quiet strength it takes to support someone you love through chronic illness, depression, and uncertainty.

Whether you’re a caregiver, the one being cared for, or somewhere in between — this conversation is for you.

You are not invisible. You are not alone. And both of you deserve care.

Episode 24: There was a time I felt broken beyond repair — like healing was out of reach and I had nothing left to give.

But little by little, I found my way back to myself… not by forcing a miracle, but by making small, intentional shifts.

This episode is the full, raw, heart-led story behind my SHIFT program — why I created it, what it stands for, and how it’s helping people stop surviving and start healing from the inside out.

Whether you’re stuck in burnout, carrying pain that won’t go away, or just quietly craving something more…

SHIFT is the program I wish I had during my darkest days.

🧡 In this episode, we’ll explore:

The 5 pillars of SHIFT and how they create real, lasting transformation

Why I believe healing doesn’t have to be perfect to be powerful

What it means to reclaim your voice, your worth, and your identity — even in the mess

A message for the version of you that’s tired, unseen, or barely holding on

You don’t have to do it all today. You just have to take one small step.

Let this be it. 💛

Episode 23

This one’s for the beautiful warriors who chose hope… and still got heartbreak.

What happens when you pick a word like “Abundance” or “Ease” for the year —

and life gives you the opposite?

In this raw, reflective episode, I share what happened when I asked the universe for a softer year — and instead found myself holding more pain than ever. But somewhere in the middle of the mess, I started seeing abundance in a new light. Not flashy. Not perfect. But real.

✨ We’ll talk about:

– What to do when your intentions feel like they backfire

– How ease can show up in the smallest, quietest ways

– Redefining abundance in a season of survival

– A simple breathwork moment to reconnect with yourself

– Why you’re not doing it wrong if life still feels hard

This is not a “toxic positivity” episode — it’s an invitation to breathe, to feel, and to start noticing the beauty that whispers… even here.

You’re not behind. You’re right where you need to be.

💛 Let’s get through today, together.

Episode 22 – In a world that celebrates constant doing, this episode is an invitation to pause.

If you’ve been living in survival mode — juggling chronic illness, parenting, emotional overload, or just the weight of life — your nervous system might be craving something softer.

In today’s episode, I’ll share a vulnerable reflection on what chronic stress really does to our minds and bodies… and why “being the strong one” often comes at a quiet cost. Then we’ll move into a calming guided self-hypnosis journey designed to help you let go of tension, reconnect with your breath, and return to yourself.

This isn’t about fixing everything.

It’s about remembering that peace is your birthright — and you don’t have to earn it.

You deserve to rest.

You deserve to be held — even by your own breath.

Let this episode be your permission to exhale.

You’re not too much. You’re not being dramatic. You’re not complaining — you’re human.

In episode 21, we’re diving into the emotional weight so many of us carry in silence — the kind that comes from always being the strong one, the helper, the one who says “I’m fine” with tears behind our eyes.

We talk about the difference between venting and feeling like a victim… between expressing pain and being negative… and how being heard — truly heard — can be one of the most healing experiences we can offer one another.

I’ll share personal stories of when I felt unsupported, silenced, or judged for speaking up — and what changed when I finally allowed myself to be honest. We’ll also explore:

• How to find your safe people (and set boundaries with the rest)

• What support actually looks like (and what it’s not)

• Why connection is not about attention — it’s about being witnessed

• Practical tools to process heavy emotions and receive support without shame

If you’ve ever been afraid to share your truth… if you’re navigating chronic illness, grief, overwhelm, or just holding too much — this one’s for you.

Come sit with me. Let’s talk about the power of being real.

💛 You're not a burden. You're just carrying more than most people see — and you deserve to be heard.
