What if healing didn’t mean fixing yourself—but deepening your relationship with what’s already inside you?

As part of our special summer sabbatical series, I’m sharing conversations that have shaped my own inner journey—and today’s episode is one of the most powerful.

I’m joined by Michelle Glass, a certified IFS practitioner and author of Daily Parts Meditation Practice, to explore how a simple daily ritual can create profound emotional integration, spiritual alignment, and personal transformation.

This isn’t about doing IFS “right.” It’s about showing up with care, curiosity, and consistency—and learning how to lead your life from your true Self.

Whether you’re brand new to Internal Family Systems or ready to deepen your daily practice, this conversation will meet you right where you are.

1️⃣ Ritual Creates Relationship

IFS isn’t just for therapy sessions. Michelle shares how daily check-ins with your parts can build trust, reduce reactivity, and help you live from a place of grounded inner leadership.

2️⃣ Healing Doesn’t Have to Be Dramatic

You don’t need to wait for a breakdown or a breakthrough. With a few minutes a day, you can gently unwind old patterns and create more space for your truest self to lead.

3️⃣ You Already Have What You Need

Your system is wise. This episode will remind you that your inner world isn’t broken—it’s waiting to be witnessed, loved, and led with compassion.

This is your invitation to slow down, tune in, and discover the healing power of this simple practice.

Because lasting transformation doesn’t come from efforting—it comes from meeting yourself, every day, with love.

What if the most powerful move you make in your business this year… is to pause?

I’m taking six full weeks off this summer—for rest, renewal, and presence during one of the most meaningful seasons of my life.

And, today, I’m taking you behind the scenes on how I’m making this happen.

This isn’t about checking out or giving up. It’s about building a business that can hold you, not drain you. It’s about honoring the seasons of your life as much as the seasons of your launch calendar.

Whether you’re dreaming of a long weekend, a two-week unplug, or your first full sabbatical—this conversation will give you the mindset shifts, systems, and permission you need to make it real.

HERE ARE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:

1️⃣ Rest is a Growth Strategy.

When you honor your natural rhythms, your business benefits. I share how extended time off has made me more creative, grounded, and profitable—and why your nervous system might be the most overlooked business asset you have.

2️⃣ Structure Creates Freedom.

From content batching and client scheduling to team planning and clear communication—I walk you through the behind-the-scenes systems that make a six-week sabbatical not just possible, but peaceful.

3️⃣ You Don’t Have to Earn Rest.

We unpack the cultural conditioning that says you need to hustle before you deserve to exhale—and why choosing rest as a proactive practice can shift everything about how you show up in your work and life.

This episode is your permission slip to build something spacious and sustainable.

Because rest isn’t where the work stops. It’s where the real work begins.

What if the way you plan your wedding could teach you everything you need to know about building a business?

I’m getting married in August! And, this week, I’m taking you behind the scenes of planning my wedding—and the surprising lessons it’s revealed about entrepreneurship, leadership, and intentional creation.

From timelines and vision boards to budget priorities and dress fittings, I’ve found that many of the same principles that shape a meaningful ceremony also shape a soul-aligned business.

Whether you're mapping your next launch or navigating a big life transition, this episode offers five grounded, grace-filled insights for creating anything with intention, joy, and authenticity.

HERE ARE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:

1️⃣ Reverse Engineer with Spaciousness.

Starting early and working backwards isn't just a planning strategy—it’s a nervous system strategy. I share how creating breathing room invites inspiration and reduces last-minute stress in both weddings and work.

2️⃣ Design What Feels Like You.

Ditch the rulebook. From pizza trucks to intimate dinner parties, I talk about how aligning every detail with your values allows the experience to reflect who you truly are—whether you're curating a celebration or building a brand.

3️⃣ Simplicity is a Power Move.

Intentional beauty and clean design aren’t luxuries—they're strategy. Learn why paring back can create a more powerful impact for your business and your audience.
