Consumed or Connected?
Better Days Start Today
In this episode, I’m sharing a Substack essay I wrote called Consumed or Connected? It’s about the tug-of-war I’ve been feeling with my phone and technology. On one hand, it helps me stay connected. On the other, I’ve noticed how easily it consumes my time, energy, and attention. I’ll take you inside my own stories, the truths I uncovered when I looked at my screen time, and the shifts I’m making to bring my attention back into alignment with what really matters to me. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re using your phone or if your phone is using you, this episode will give...

The True Cost of Your Yes
Better Days Start Today
This week, we’re digging into what we’re trading without even realizing it, which is something most of us don’t slow down to think about. You’ve probably had those “how did I get here?” moments. The job, the lifestyle, the structure of your days... it might all look good on paper, but something feels off. We’re talking about the choices that seem small in the moment but shape everything long term. The things we say yes to because they sound like progress like more money, more success, and more adventure, without fully considering what we’re saying no to along the way. Every yes...

Redefining the Rules: Finding Your Own Way Forward
Better Days Start Today

The Midyear Check-In You Actually Need
Better Days Start Today
In this episode, I’m sharing a different way to think about the halfway point of the year. If you’ve been focused on what hasn’t happened yet or where you thought you’d be by now, this is your reminder to pause, zoom out, and ask better questions. Instead of measuring progress by goals alone, I want to invite you to think about who you want to be by the end of the year and how you want to feel when you get there. This kind of midyear check-in is about recalibrating. It's about aligning your energy and decisions with the version of you you're becoming, not the version of you who set...

Choosing Hard Things on Purpose
Better Days Start Today
In this episode, I’m sharing why I intentionally choose hard physical challenges and how they’ve taught me to stay calm and focused even when everything in me wants to quit. These experiences are about resilience, emotional endurance, and stacking evidence that you can do hard things, in every area of your life. This idea came from something Denis Morton said on a recent Peloton ride: “We’re practicing serenity under duress.” That's exactly what I’ve learned through every hike, long ride, and endurance challenge. The strength we build during the tough moments carries over into the...

How to Stop Overcommitting and Reclaim Your Energy
Better Days Start Today
If your first instinct is to cut the things that nourish you whenever life gets busy, you’re not alone. In this episode, I’m talking about something I’ve seen in so many women lately and something I’ve lived through myself. When responsibilities pile up, we tend to sacrifice the very things that keep us grounded, joyful, and well. And we do it quietly, often without questioning whether there’s another way. I share a story about a friend whose instinct was to cancel a dream trip she had trained for, all because everything else felt urgent. It reminded me of a season in my own life...

Have you ever looked around at your life and thought, “I made all these choices… so why doesn’t it feel good? Why am I unhappy?” This conversation was sparked by the book The Wedding People.

In this episode, I’m sharing the moments that made me feel seen and the truths they stirred in me. We’ll talk about the ache of not saying what you mean, the loneliness we carry but rarely admit, and the...
