In this short but very powerful episode, I reflect on milestone birthdays, the passage of time, and what it really means to live with intention.

Inspired by my Granny’s 91st birthday, I invite you to look ahead to the version of yourself decades from now and ask: What should I be doing NOW to make you proud?

Let your future self guide your choices today, how to live with purpose even through life’s setbacks, and how to recommit to your own comeback story ahead of time.

This is a conversation about aging with purpose, building resilience, and defining your life backwards so every day moves you closer to the person you want to become.

What if courage isn’t about being fearless or confident, but about showing up, heart racing, knees shaking, and doing it anyway?

Today’s episode is all about courage and I’m talking with Niki Sterner, a Courage Coach, podcast host, actor, comedian, and award-winning filmmaker who helps people face fear head-on and step into the life they’ve been dreaming about.

Niki’s not just talking theory, she lives it. She’s built a life and business around embracing the cringe, taking bold risks, and growing through the mess, not around it. Self-doubt isn’t non-existent for her, it’s something she overcomes and she’s committed to be disciplined enough to not let it stop her.

Niki and I dive into how anxiety and fear are not the same thing. We discuss building courage and establishing a healthy mindset to accomplish your dreams.

We discuss being stuck in a fear loop, embracing daily discomfort, and developing routines that support you on your personal growth journey. In addition, hear how Niki believes that her voice is her superpower and that she is the luckiest girl in the world.

She reminds us that growth doesn’t come from waiting until you’re ready. It comes from inviting in the cringe, stepping into the unknown, and learning to move forward messy.

This episode will inspire you to stop waiting for perfect and start living brave.

This episode is jam packed full of lessons, wisdom, and memorable nuggets. Listen in, share your takeaways with me, share the episode with your friends, and follow Niki on all of her channels.

If someone asks you what you want, you might say, "I don't know." My guest, Christine Marcario says that is not an acceptable answer.

Christine is an intuitive life coach who guides people to live authentic, aligned and abundant lives through soulful and practical tools and wisdom.

She speaks and teaches from personal experience about it never being too late to change course or take a different path. It's not about living the same day over and over, especially if you're called to more.

Christine says that the most important relationship you can have in this lifetime is with yourself. She specializes in helping other women develop their own self-relationship while leading them to align with their truth, and create a life rooted in purpose, ease, and freedom.

She mentions how people lose themselves while trying to fit in, however, "You can be a sunflower in a field full of daisies."

Listen to Christine embody authenticity, resilience, and self-love.

Join me and be uplifted as I talk to Christine about choosing inner wisdom, aligning your soul, words, and actions, and choosing personal growth.

Press play and listen to Christine and I discuss alignment, manifestation, and listen to her advice to stop being a repellant to what you actually desire.

Midlife is a calling, not a crisis. In this powerful episode, Pam Sandrock, life coach and host of The No Knockouts Podcast, explores what it really means to navigate the messy, meaningful middle of life.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, invisible, or unsure of who you are anymore, this conversation will remind you that midlife isn’t the end. It's simply an invitation. Pam shares lessons from her Do Midlife Well book club and coaching program, opening up about the emotional loops, shifting identities, and quiet aches many women face in their 40s, 50s, and beyond.

Midlife is the perfect time to do a self-assessment, to reconnect with yourself, release guilt, redefine your values, and step into this next chapter with clarity, confidence, and intention. Midlife isn’t about losing who you were. It’s about remembering who you are and becoming the best version of yourself.

You might need to unbecome so you can become who you're meant to be next.

Listen in to learn:

• The unspoken truths about midlife transitions
• Why so many women feel “stuck in the middle”
• How to reframe midlife as a sacred season of growth
• Practical ways to reset your mindset, relationships, and routines
• The importance of sisterhood, reflection, and self-compassion

Whether you’re facing an empty nest, shifting roles, or just sensing that it’s time for change, this episode will encourage you to see midlife for what it truly is: not a crisis, but a calling.

I'd like to invite you to join the Do Midlife Well book club.

Let's redefine, reinvent, and redecorate our lives!

What if one of the best things you could do for your body, your mind, and your soul didn’t require training, talent, or even rhythm?

I love to dance and it's such a great mood booster!

You’ll hear stories, laughter, and some takeaways about resilience, presence, and freedom. Plus, you’ll discover how dancing can boost your health, lift your mood, and even bring healing when words fall short.

So turn up the music, let go of perfection, and say yes to the invitation to dance. Life’s too short to sit this one out, even if you have two left feet.

Let's cut a rug!

In a world that celebrates hustle and busyness, slowing down can feel counterintuitive. However, slowing down might be the very thing your heart is craving.

In this episode, I share a personal story from an Aggie football game that revealed the power of moving at a slower pace. You’ll hear how slowing down lowers stress, creates space for gratitude, and helps you savor the moments that matter most.

I offer practical ways to challenge you to bring more mindfulness into your daily routine. The goal is to shift your energy, recharge, and discover that joy is often experienced in the whispers of the slow moments.

If you’re ready to experience more peace, presence, and joy this Fall, this episode is your invitation to take a breath, ease the pace, and let joy catch up with you.

Have you ever whispered to yourself, "Something needs to change."

If so, you're going to love my conversation with Heidi Scherer, a certified Neuro-Identity Practitioner who draws from neuroscience, spirituality, and her own journey of transformation to help women break free from fear, reprogram old patterns, and step into the fullest expression of who they're meant to be.

Heidi crossed over her 40th birthday and was experiencing what she calls a "soul death." She experienced feelings of unworthiness, loneliness, dissatisfaction, and disconnectedness.

She refused to just exist in life where she felt that "There is far more meant for me in this lifetime." After years of programming, conditioning, and looking externally for validation, Heidi decided to take accountability for herself and her happiness.

Join me and be inspired as I talk to Heidi about choosing personal growth, living a soul-aligned life, and doing it with intention and resilience.

In addition, she is a firm believer in developing deep human connection. She says all things that make us human, that aren't tangible things, are what deeply connects us.

We talk about intuition, personal expansion, spirituality, worthiness, identity transformation, belief systems, emotions, nervous system regulation, somatic and meditation practices, and more.

This episode is jam packed with takeaways! Hit play and listen to the full episode. And, connect with Heidi in all the ways.

Even in our darkest seasons, the smallest flicker of light can change everything. Life can feel heavy, but hope has a way of breaking through. In this episode, I share with you how the tiniest pinhole of light, representing hope, is the spark of light that fuels your resilience.

The smallest cracks of light represent hope, strength, and possibility. You can grow that light, keep moving forward, live with resilience, and become a source of it for others.
