Feeling like your life has gotten a little too full? In this episode, I’m talking about the art of editing your life and taking an honest look at what’s taking up your time, energy, and attention and deciding what still belongs.

I talk about letting go of commitments you’ve outgrown, making more room for relationships that actually feel good, and getting a little more intentional about what gets access to your brain.

I’ll also share why I created Gathered, a new community for women who happen to be mothers, and why I think creating more meaningful connection is part of editing your life, too.

What if caring for your hair could be a form of caring for yourself?

In this conversation, I’m joined by trichologist Bridgette Hill to talk about hair as a form of embodiment and what our relationship with our hair can reveal about our relationship with our bodies.

We talk about the ways hair can connect us to identity, self-perception, and the experience of being in our bodies. Bridgette also shares what it has meant to inhabit a “new body” after the loss of her husband, and how grief can change the way we relate to ourselves.

We also get practical about hair care: how slowing down, paying attention, and tending to our hair can become a ritual of self-care rather than another thing on our to-do list.

It’s a conversation about hair, grief, identity, and the many ways we learn to care for ourselves through our bodies.

What happens when you realize you're no longer the person you used to be, but you aren't entirely sure who you're becoming?

As I approach 41, I've been thinking a lot about transition and the strange space between old versions of ourselves and whatever comes next. In this episode, I'm talking about the grief that can come with outgrowing parts of your life, why missing who you used to be doesn't necessarily mean you want to go back, and what I'm learning about letting go of the need to have everything figured out.

Because maybe the goal isn't to know exactly what's next. Maybe it's learning to trust yourself enough to move through the uncertainty.
