Hello November! Can you even believe it? The air feels a little cozier, the pace of life feels a little busier, and I don’t know about you, but I’m craving a reset.

So today, we’re creating your November Intentional To-Do List — not filled with tasks or checkboxes, but with calm, peace, and purpose. This month, it’s about simplifying your days, reclaiming your joy, and doing more of what truly matters.

So grab your coffee, take a deep breath, and let’s build your most intentional month yet — together.

Hey friend — today’s episode is for the perfectionist in you. The part that tries so hard to get everything just right, that feels guilty when things fall short, and that quietly believes she has to do more to be enough.

But here’s the truth: you are already worthy, already capable, and already doing so much better than you think.

So in this episode, I’m sharing five affirmations for your perfectionist self — little reminders to help you let go, breathe deeper, and move forward with more grace and less pressure.

Hey friend — if you spend any amount of time in your car, this episode is for you.

I don’t know about you, but my commute has become sacred time — the space where I think, dream, and reset. And while some days it’s filled with podcasts and playlists, other days it’s just quiet — a moment to breathe before I step into whatever’s next.

Today, I want to help you find the purpose and peace in your own commute — whether you’re heading into work, running errands, or driving home after a long day. We’ll talk about how to turn your drive into the prep zone for your day, a tunnel to unwind, and a pocket of intentional time that you can actually look forward to.

So often we can get distracted, our gaze can turn away from our own situation and instead shift on the things happening around us, our attention spans turned to what’s trending, and we can start to feel unsettled in our own routines and chaos, but today I am going to invite you to stop looking at everything else going on around you, and instead to focus on the things happening within you. To dig deep, stay grounded and find the joys in your own current season. Despite what is challenging, despite what feels hard, regardless of the things you hope to change.. today, today we are focused on how we can embrace the season of life that we are currently in.

There’s just something about October, isn’t there? The air feels a little crisper, the pace slows down just enough to remind you to breathe, and suddenly life feels like it’s inviting you to be more present.

In this episode, I’m sharing your October Intentional To-Do List — a cozy, soul-filling guide to help you pause with purpose, protect your peace, and bring a little more joy into your every day.

From fall movie nights to gratitude lists and your very own ‘yes moment,’ this one’s all about finding the magic in the simple, quiet moments this season.

I know what it feels like to wake up and already feel behind, even before your day begins. Your giant to-do list is staring at you, the pressure is on, and you’re trying so hard to push through even when your energy is running on empty.

But here’s the thing—we weren’t made to live like that. We weren’t made to always feel like we are operating on empty. Because here is the thing - your energy actually matters more than your to-do list? The way you feel (your body, your heart, your mind) while moving through your day is way more important than how many boxes you get checked off.

In today’s episode, we’re going to talk about what that really means and how you can shift your focus from just doing all the things to actually feeling good while you do them. Because you, my friend, deserve to show up to all parts of your day with peace, joy, and energy. You deserve to feel your best— instead of feeling drained and burnt out all of the time.

Today’s episode is a little different—it’s a heart-to-heart, straight from me to you. This past week was my very first week back at work after maternity leave, navigating life as a working mama of two littles, and I’ll be honest—it was a week full of both wins and moments that could have gone a whole lot better. Some things worked really well, and others… not so much

But as I was sitting with it all, I realized something—taking time to actually pause and reflect on our week, the good and the hard, can be such a game-changer for how we step into the next one.

So today, I just want to share a little bit of my own reflection with you—what worked, what didn’t—and hopefully encourage you to take a look at your own week too.

Because when we do, it gives us a chance to reset, refocus, and walk into a new week with so much more intention and peace.
