Accidental Motherhood 10/03/2023

Accidental Motherhood In May 2016, Jamie discovered she was pregnant with her first child. While her partner Adam was elated, Jamie was a wreck! She was sure motherhood, a life position and job she'd never aspired to, was going to ruin her life. So began Jamie's journey of accidental motherhood. In this episode of The Path Home, Jamie discusses her disinterest in motherhood as a young woman, the twists and turns of accidental motherhood that continue to floor her, and how, even when living an accident, we still have choice and (a little bit of) control. Jamie also gets into the internal and external expectations that make navigating accidents or hard right turns all the more difficult and the #1 question she asks herself and her clients to get out of the "shoulds" and back in touch with what truly matters.

Embracing Pleasure 09/19/2023

Embracing Pleasure As women, we've been socialized to ignore our basic needs in order to prioritize others. This is by design, as it leaves little time or energy for pursuing pleasure -- a core need that truly makes life worth living. Believing that we don't deserve pleasure (or that pursuing it is shameful), often leads to complicated feelings when we try to explore and embrace what feels good to us. So, how do we break free from these inherited beliefs and begin the journey toward owning our pleasure? In this episode I interview Daniela Stevens, a trauma and attachment informed sex and intimacy coach who specializes in supporting couples and individuals to experience deep sexual connection and intimacy with themsleves and their partners. Together we discuss the human need for pleasure, why we ignore that need and how to give ourselves a permission slip for pleasure -- without guilt or shame.

Setting and Maintaining Healthy Boundaries 08/08/2023

Setting and Maintaining Healthy Boundaries Welcome to the unofficial Guide to Setting and Maintaining Healthy Boundaries.

Embracing Our Superpowers 06/08/2023

Embracing Our Superpowers As women, we often have the habit of devaluing the things we're good at. Also many of us were taught that our superpowers are things that make us “too much.” However in the words of one of my mentors, business coach Kelly Diels: “everything that has been used against you is a source of power.” So how do we embrace, honor and harness our superpowers for the ease and freedom we seek? In my newest episode of The Path Home, Kelly and I talk about what superpowers are, how to recognize yours, and how we can use them for good. We also discuss leadership, abuse of power and how to reclaim leadership for the world we seek to build. You can learn more about Kelly's work and be sure to follow her on Instagram at .

Re-Allocate Your F*cks 05/09/2023

Re-Allocate Your F*cks There’s a lot of conversation happening around deciding to no longer give a f*ck. Meanwhile, we are living in a world where we desperately need to START giving a f*ck about what's happening around us. The constant demands of where we should and should not be giving our attention can feel confusing, overwhelming and exhausting.

How often does this trap us in our own lives, and cause us to miss what is most important? In this episode, we talk about what it looks like to take a pause and evaluate where to put our effort and energy... because honestly, we only have so many f*cks to give.

Good Sex & Self-Trust Whether you feel shame around sex, feel pressure to be more open surrounding sexuality, or somewhere in between... this episode is for you!

How much self-trust we have is a key component of breaking free from both a history of "Good Girl Conditioning," and the demands to be a modern woman who is sexually liberated and down for anything.
