What If This Could Actually Be Your Year?
Always Becoming: Real Stories of Resilience, Healing, & Growth
As the year comes to a close, there’s so much talk about resolutions, glow-ups, and how this is finally going to be “your year.” And while a new beginning can feel exciting, it can also bring pressure, fear, and the quiet worry that nothing will really change. In this final episode of the year, I reflect on what it actually means to make a year your year. Not through drastic reinvention or unrealistic expectations, not in a "new year, new me" way, but in a way that makes space for growth without burning yourself out or expecting everything to magically change overnight. ...

Your Pain Matters And So Does Theirs
Always Becoming: Real Stories of Resilience, Healing, & Growth
In this episode, we’re talking about something I think a lot of us quietly wrestle with: How do you honor your own feelings, while also caring deeply about what other people are going through? Lately, I’ve been feeling the weight of my own emotions and the heaviness of the world around me, and it made me realize how often we try to choose between the two. But the truth is: you don’t have to pick. You can be hurting and compassionate. You can care for others and acknowledge your own pain. You can hold both at the same time. In this episode, we explore: Why your emotions don’t become...

Stop Breaking Promises To Yourself: How Showing Up & Consistency Build Self Trust
Always Becoming: Real Stories of Resilience, Healing, & Growth
Some days, showing up for yourself feels impossible. You’re tired, overwhelmed, unmotivated and skipping the thing you said you’d do feels so much easier. But every time we break a promise to ourselves our self-trust erodes. And without self-trust, it becomes harder to make decisions, harder to follow through, and harder to feel grounded in who we are. In this episode I share what it really looks like to show up for yourself even when it’s uncomfortable. I open up about why self-trust is one of the most important foundations in healing and growth, how tiny promises create big internal...
