In this episode of the Maybe I Can Podcast, I talk about something we all do — negotiating with ourselves.

This weekend alone, I caught myself talking myself in and out of exercise, work tasks, and even simple healthy habits. And it made me realize how powerful these small, quiet negotiations really are.

Because every choice we make is a vote for who we’re becoming.

In this episode, I share:
• Why motivation isn’t the real issue
• How avoidance erodes self-trust
• The difference between burnout and simple discomfort
• How action builds confidence — not the other way around

If you’ve ever said, “I’ll start tomorrow” or “I just don’t feel motivated,” this conversation is for you.

There will always be something you don’t feel like doing. The question isn’t whether you’re motivated.

The question is: Who are you becoming?

Let’s stop negotiating — and start showing up.

In this episode of the Maybe I Can Podcast, I talk about what happens when your life doesn’t follow the expected script.

After hearing someone younger than me share that she plans to retire at 63 — the same age I’m about to turn — I noticed how quickly my mind shifted into self-judgment. I started replaying financial decisions, questioning myself, and telling myself I should be further along.

That reaction made me realize how often we measure our lives against someone else’s timeline — without knowing their full story.

In this episode, I share:
• Why comparison ignores context
• How life chapters like infertility, caregiving, loss, and reinvention shift our timelines
• The emotional cost of measuring ourselves against others
• Why different does not mean delayed

There is no universal life schedule. There is no single script we’re all supposed to follow.

If you’ve ever felt behind, late, or like you missed something, this conversation is for you.

You are exactly where you need to be — based on the life you’ve actually lived.

Maybe we can put down the measuring stick together.

In this episode of the Maybe I Can Podcast, I talk about something I wrestle with regularly — impatience and the need to control outcomes.

When I decide I want something, I want it done immediately. And when progress feels slow, I feel anxious, behind, and frustrated. I share how I realized that my impatience is often anxiety in disguise — especially after seasons of life that felt out of control.

This year, I chose the word “steady” as my theme. Not slow. Not passive. But consistent without panicking.

In this episode, I share:
• Why control can feel like safety
• How productivity can become fear in motion
• The burnout that comes from forcing timelines
• What it really means to “release the stopwatch”

If you’ve been feeling behind or trying to rush your progress, this conversation is for you.

We’re not late. We’re not behind.
We’re exactly where we need to be.

Maybe we can trust that together.

In this episode of the Maybe I Can Podcast, I talk about something I know many of us struggle with — second guessing ourselves after a decision has already been made.

I share personal stories about decisions that carried enormous emotional weight in my life — from financial choices in my marriage, to putting my beloved dog Yogi to sleep, to a painful decision involving my late husband that I questioned for a long time afterward.

Second guessing doesn’t mean we’re weak or bad at making decisions. Often, it’s a learned response — especially for women who have carried emotional responsibility for others. We anticipate reactions. We try to prevent fallout. We crave certainty.

If you’ve been replaying a decision in your mind lately, this conversation is for you.

Remember — you made the best decision you could with the information you had at the time.

Maybe you can trust yourself more than you think.

Have you ever felt stuck — not at rock bottom, not falling apart — just waiting?

In this episode, I talk about why so many of us stay stuck even when we want change. I share a personal story about a time in my life when I knew I wanted something different, but had no clarity, no direction, and no idea what my next step should be.

I waited for the right time.
I waited for certainty.
I waited for someone to tell me what to do.

What I eventually learned is this: clarity doesn’t come first — movement does.

In this episode, I sit down with Laurie James — author, somatic practitioner, and host of the Confessions of a Free Bird podcast — for an honest conversation about divorce, caregiving, trauma, and what happens when the body carries what the mind tries to ignore.

Laurie shares the moment she knew she had to leave her marriage, why it took more than one attempt, and how years of stress, responsibility, and unprocessed trauma eventually showed up as serious physical illness. We talk about how trauma lives in the nervous system, why “little” traumas matter, and how somatic work helps the body complete what it never got to finish.

We also explore rest, guilt, freedom later in life, dating after divorce, and what healing can look like when you stop forcing yourself to push through.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body, exhausted by holding everything together, or confused by reactions you can’t explain — this conversation is for you.

For a long time, I believed something outside of me needed to change before my life could change.

More money. Better timing. Less stress. Someone else stepping up.
I didn’t realize that belief was keeping me stuck.

In this episode, I talk about the slow, quiet realization that nothing was going to change unless I changed — not through action at first, but through awareness. Awareness of my thoughts. My stories. The things I was avoiding. And the responsibility I was afraid to take.

I share a deeply personal story about money, shame, and the moment I stopped waiting for a miracle and started facing the truth — even without a plan.

This conversation isn’t about fixing your life or taking massive action.
It’s about noticing.
Getting honest.
And realizing you have more power than you think.

The moment you realize nothing will change unless you change isn’t the moment everything shifts - but it is the moment anything becomes possible.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin, this episode is for you.

I talk about why so many of us wait for clarity before taking action — and how that belief keeps us frozen. I share what finally helped me move forward when I didn’t know what I wanted, where I was going, or how to get there.

In this episode, I break it down simply:
Take responsibility for one piece of your life.
Question the thoughts that keep telling you it’s too late or too hard.
And take one small action — just one.

You don’t need a plan. You don’t need certainty. You don’t need to change everything.
You just need to begin.

If you’ve been waiting for the “right time,” I hope this conversation helps you realize that the power to start has been yours all along.

Not maybe you can.
Yes, you can. ✨
