Episode 45: Partnership Reset Guide
Spice Of Wife
In today’s episode, I walk you through my as if you were sitting with me in a private coaching session. This episode is for the woman who feels like she’s doing everything — running a business, managing the home, carrying the emotional load, and holding it all together while quietly feeling overwhelmed, resentful, or disconnected. I share how I use this guide to: regulate my nervous system instead of reacting from stress, identify the invisible load I’ve been carrying, release control and perfectionism, create space for true partnership in my marriage and life, and shift the beliefs...

Episode 44: To Be A Balanced Woman
Spice Of Wife
What would it look like to be a balanced woman? Not more productive. Not more successful. Not thinner, richer, or busier. But emotionally balanced. Nervous-system regulated. Grounded in your body. Connected to yourself, your marriage, and your life. In today’s episode, I’m unpacking what balance actually looks like for women—especially women business owners who are tired of hustling through their feelings, controlling everything around them, and living in a constant state of stress. We talk about emotional regulation, nervous system balance, masculine and feminine energy, hormones,...

Episode 43: Work Less, Make More, and Have More Fun
Spice Of Wife
In this episode, I’m talking about hustle culture—where it comes from, why it’s so deeply ingrained in women business owners, and why it’s no longer working for us. I share my own story of trading time, energy, and my physical body for money, and how that way of working eventually stopped aligning with the life I wanted to live. I walk you through what it really looks like to stop building a business from lack and scarcity and instead create from presence, intuition, and self-trust. We talk about redefining success, releasing the belief of “not enough,” and learning how to work...

Episode 42: Restoring Marriage & Business Balance
Spice Of Wife
In today’s conversation, I’m unpacking what real balance actually looks like in marriage and business, and why it has nothing to do with time management, perfect schedules, or splitting things 50/50. We’ll talk about: Why imbalance shows up when women override their emotions and step into constant “doing” The powerful (and often forgotten) role vulnerability plays in restoring partnership How emotional awareness—not control—is the catalyst that shifts everything Why balance is a feeling, not a formula How flexibility, presence, and self-trust create freedom in...

Episode 41: Rituals Over Routines: Grounding When Life Feels Messy
Spice Of Wife
We’re in that strange space between Christmas and New Year’s — where cookies count as breakfast, the kids don’t know what day it is, and everything feels just a little… off. The holidays are beautiful and full and magical — and also wildly dysregulating for our nervous systems. Today, I’m sharing a very real behind-the-scenes glimpse of the piles, the decisions, the returns, the batteries, the mess… and the reminder that what we truly crave isn’t more stuff — it’s grounding, ease, and freedom. We’re talking about the difference between routines and rituals — not what...

Episode 40: From Pressure to Alignment: Redefining New Year Intentions
Spice Of Wife
As the year winds down, so many of us feel the pressure to set big goals, make sweeping resolutions, and “fix” ourselves before January arrives. In this episode, I invite you to pause, soften, and take a different approach. Instead of hustling toward change from a place of pressure or self-criticism, we explore how to reflect on the past year with honesty and compassion, reconnect with your why, and listen to what truly resonates for you—not what society, social media, or “experts” say you should want. I share personal stories about my own relationship with goal-setting, why...

Episode 39: Disappointing Your Man: Rethinking Birthdays & Holidays
Spice Of Wife
In today’s episode, we’re talking about disappointment, birthdays, Christmas, and the pressure so many of us feel to make celebrations perfect. I’m sharing a very real story from my husband’s birthday and unpacking why we often tie our worth, safety, and sense of being loved to how other people experience us. This is a conversation about cutting the cords, calling your power back, and redefining what it really means to celebrate the people you love — without guilt, fear, or overfunctioning. If this episode resonates and you’re feeling tired of carrying so much in your relationship,...

Episode 38 : Holding Beliefs for Your Man
Spice Of Wife
In this heartfelt episode, I open up about one of the greatest gifts I’ve learned to offer my husband: holding belief for him when he forgets who he is. I share a tender moment from my own marriage—lying in bed beside a husband who felt overwhelmed, stuck, and unsure—and the powerful shift that happened when I chose belief over judgment, presence over fixing. Through stories from youth sports, grief, and late–night tears, I show what it has looked like for me to be a quiet, steady companion instead of a rescuer. I talk about the viral “Hemingway” quote on human connection, why...

Episode 37: Navigating Grief in Marriage
Spice Of Wife
Whether it’s the loss of a parent, a friend, a sibling, a child, a pet, or even grief brought on by world events—heartbreak will make an appearance in your relationship. And when it does, most of us realize we were never taught how to move through it, let alone how to move through it as a couple. I share openly about the very raw, recent loss of one of my husband’s closest college friends, what it stirred up in our home, and how differently the two of us process pain. You’ll hear honest stories, half-baked thoughts in real time, and the tools I lean on from my training, my past...

Episode 36: Hobbies, Husbands, and the Myth of “Doing Everything Together”
Spice Of Wife
In this week’s episode, we explore one of the most common pain points I see in relationships: “My husband is always off doing his hobbies… and we have nothing in common.” I walk you through why you don’t need shared hobbies to feel deeply connected, loved, and aligned—and why forcing yourself into interests that aren’t authentic never creates real closeness. Instead, we look at how shared values, not shared activities, are what actually hold a relationship together. Through personal stories, relatable examples, and a gentle reframing of resentment, balance, and individuality,...
