In this introspective and grounding solo episode, I explore the truth we often try to avoid: that what we don’t face within ourselves doesn’t just disappear...it shows up in our leadership, our systems, and our team dynamics.

From the meetings that feel forced to the SOPs you never update, avoidance has a ripple effect.

We talk about how emotional bypassing leaks into our communication, how dysregulation in your nervous system becomes the unspoken blueprint for your business, and why your team and clients feel it...even when you never say it aloud.

If you’ve ever told yourself, “It’s just me,” this episode is your gentle mirror. I invite you to pause, reflect, and root into the truth that your leadership doesn’t need to be perfect—it just needs to be present.

If this resonates, you can explore these ideas more deeply inside my self-paced course, The Conscious Alignment Blueprint.

If the grass is greener over there… why are you still here? What happens when we keep choosing everything, seeing everything...except ourselves?

From breathwork to journaling to self-care rituals, we often check the “healing boxes” without ever asking: Are we actually facing what needs to be healed

Or, better yet… Do we even feel healed?

Today, I’m sharing what it really costs to avoid your own becoming, and why the only way to create the life you’re aching for is to stop running, soften into your truth, and finally choose you.

This conversation isn’t about fixing or forcing.

It’s about truth-telling. Gentle witnessing. And remembering that the greener grass you’ve been seeking might just be waiting in the parts of you you've been avoiding.

→ Inside this episode:

• A gut-check on whether you're actually moving forward or just circling
• The hidden cost of not choosing yourself
• How your presence impacts everyone around you (yes, even when you think you’re “holding it together”)
• An invitation to stop chasing and start returning to your wholeness

I’ve been thinking about how we learn to choose ourselves. When we choose ourselves even when no one’s clapping yet. In this casual and honest chat with content creative, full-time project manager, wife, mom, and business owner, Alex Williams, we dive into the ripples of saying “why not me?” and letting visibility feel like liberation, not performance. We lean into: 🖤 The emotional labor of allowing ourselves to be seen 🖤 Quietly unlearning the belief that we’re “too much” 🖤 Trusting your voice long before it’s validated This episode isn’t about the finish line. It’s about the unsure, I’m-still-figuring-it-out messy middle...the unraveling and the remembering. If you’ve ever wondered whether your story matters (spoiler: it does)—this one’s for you.

One thing I’ve been thinking about is: how do I show myself so people truly see me? Beyond collaboration, beyond social media, beyond what’s visible on the surface?

In this soft and introspective episode, I explore the grief of leaving your past self behind, the lingering guilt of choosing differently, and the courage it takes to finally be seen...especially after stepping out of hustle culture and into a slower, truer way of living.

We’ll sit with:

• Honoring the version of you that hustled to survive
• The ache of saying goodbye to what once felt safe
• The guilt of having spaciousness when others are burning out
• How you can love your past self without letting her lead anymore

This is a quiet corner for truth, a gentle nudge to trust that growth doesn’t have to come with shame, and showing up differently can still feel like home.

Comparison is often called a thief of joy, but what if it's also a mirror? In this solo episode, I explore the subtle but powerful ways comparison can fill the void when we stop performing for others and finally try to listen to ourselves. We’ll talk about how it often masks grief, fear, and uncertainty when we’re in between versions of who we were and who we’re becoming.

This isn’t about fixing or bypassing the discomfort. It’s about honoring it. What if comparison isn’t just a distraction...but a messenger? What if it’s trying to protect something tender in you?

Together, we’ll explore the emotional undercurrent of people-pleasing, the identity unravel that follows, and how to discern your true inner voice—your intuition—from the noise that so often drowns it out.

If you've ever felt the tension between seeking approval and staying true to yourself, this conversation offers solace and guidance.

This one’s been sitting with me for a while...the tension between doing and being, between momentum and meaning. In this solo episode, I open up about what it really means to live anti-hustle. Not just in theory, but in how we show up for ourselves and our lives. Together, we explore how hustle culture sneaks into our everyday patterns, how it disconnects us from our own worthiness, and what it costs us: physically, emotionally, relationally. I also share why unlearning hustle became such a personal practice for me and how reclaiming rest, joy, and spaciousness has shaped my healing. Anti-hustle isn’t about doing nothing; it’s about realigning with what matters. It's about trusting that you are valuable simply because you exist. ✨ And if you’re ready to ground this work even deeper, I created a gentle, impactful $37 masterclass that expands on these themes. You can grab it anytime to support your own shift away from burnout and back into your body, your truth, and your worth.

In this episode, I had the honor of sitting down with Wendy McSparren, a values-driven entrepreneur and grounded visionary. Together, we explore what it means to lead a business that truly reflects your heart and to stay anchored in your values, even when the world pulls you toward “shoulds” and external expectations.

Wendy opened up about the power of staying true to herself, building a business that mirrors her deeper purpose, and how she navigates decision-making through alignment, not urgency. This conversation is a refreshing reminder that authenticity is not just a buzzword...it’s literally the foundation for sustainable and soul-nourishing leadership.

Whether you're navigating a pivot, questioning what’s next, or simply needing a reminder that your way is enough, this episode will meet you right where you are.
