I loved this conversation with Nikki Novo so much. She’s an intuitive, a creative, a mom—and someone who was such a joy and gift to work with in her Made for More program.

Lately, I’ve been sitting in the unknown of what wants to come through me next—especially as I find my truest voice in this new season of motherhood. We talk about true self expression, creative timing, moving through inner resistance, and trusting your path even when you can’t see the whole picture. If...

So many of us wait on the runway of our lives, believing we can’t take off until we feel totally clear, calm, and emotionally regulated. But what if a little emotional turbulence wasn’t a sign to stop—but a sign that you're flying? This episode explores navigating emotions while still honoring your soul’s forward movement. I share a metaphor that came through so clearly and has completely shifted how I relate to resistance, inner waves, and knowing when to pause vs. when to go. If you’ve ever felt unsure whether you’re “waiting for alignment” or just stuck in fear—this one...

Sometimes the mind spirals so loud it feels like you’re being yanked by an invisible leash—paralyzed by pressure, drowning in “shoulds,” unable to access the truth underneath the noise. In this episode, I share two simple, powerful practices that have helped me soften that grip and come back to myself—even in the middle of a fear loop, a wave of doubt, or an emotional freeze. These are the exact tools I turn to when I feel stuck in my head and far from my center—and they’ve helped me remember: I don’t have to feel totally clear to return to truth. A sliver is enough. What We...

We’ve all been there. That place where your mind is screaming, “Figure it out!”—but your intuition is completely quiet. You’re staring at your to-do list (or your life), and the only thing you feel is… stuck. This episode of Magnetically You is here for those moments.

info_outlineEight and a half months in, and I still feel like I’m getting used to the words “I’m a mom”.
The early months were full of awe and magic, but then, around three months in, the emotions hit. Hard. Sadness, rage, frustration, loneliness. I felt like I was unraveling. Motherhood wasn’t just about caring for a baby—it was bringing up everything in me that needed healing. The old ways I navigated life? They didn’t work anymore. And for a while, that felt very disorienting.
In this episode, I’m sharing what that journey has looked like—the unraveling, the rebuilding, the moments of peace in between.
In this episode, we dive into:
✧ How motherhood brings up unprocessed emotions and old patterns
✧ The tug-of-war between motherhood, self, and relationships
✧ Overthinking, second-guessing, and learning to just let it be all good
✧ Moving through the death of your old identity
✧ Finding alignment when you don’t have the time or space you once did
✧ The tangible aspects of motherhood: breastfeeding, solids, etc.
✧ Releasing the struggle and sacrifice narrative
If you’re in the thick of it, wondering if you’ll ever feel like you again—I see you. You’re not breaking. You’re just unfolding.
