  • Ep 175: Before You Choose Joy, You Have to Choose Yourself
    6 Nov 2026

    In this special episode of Journey to Joy Live, I'm diving into the heart of my Wife Mom Boss Movement and what it truly means to balance marriage, motherhood, career, and personal well-being without losing yourself in the process.

    As a wife, mom, boss, and psychiatrist, I know firsthand how easy it is to become so consumed with taking care of everyone else that we forget to take care of ourselves. Too often, we're celebrated for doing it all while silently struggling with burnout, guilt, and the pressure to be everything to everybody. I'm challenging the belief that self-sacrifice is the price of success and sharing practical strategies to set boundaries, reclaim your identity, prioritize your mental health, and put yourself back on your priority list—without guilt!

    Because being a great wife, mom, or boss should never require losing the woman behind those roles. It's time to stop putting yourself last and start choosing YOU!

  • Ep 174: Behind The Superwoman Mask: When Everyone Needs You, But No One Sees You
    30 Oct 2026

    Halloween is the one day we wear masks and pretend to be someone we're not. But what if you've been wearing yours EVERY DAY? The Superwoman mask. The one that says, "I'm fine." "I've got it." "I don't need help."

    But behind that mask? Exhaustion. Anxiety. Burnout. And a woman who's tired of being everything to everybody. This week on Journey to Joy Live, I'm discussing:

    -The five masks women wear to hide their struggles

    - The emotional cost of always being "the strong one"

    - Why being needed doesn't always mean being supported

    - How to take off the mask, reclaim your identity, and put yourself back on your priority list!

    You don't have to stop being strong. You just have to stop pretending you don't need support!

    Your Body Isn’t the Problem.

  • Ep 169: Your To-Do List Will Never Tell You You're Enough
    25 Sep 2026

    Do you ever finish one task... only to add three more?

    As a Wife. Mom. Boss., the to-do list never seems to end. The laundry gets done, another load appears. You answer the emails, and five more come in. You take care of everyone else, yet somehow still go to bed feeling like you didn't do enough.

    But what if the problem isn't your to-do list...

    What if it's the belief that your worth is tied to your productivity?

    This week, I'm diving into why so many high-achieving women struggle to ever feel "done," why rest can feel uncomfortable, and how to stop measuring your value by everything you accomplish.

    Because here's the truth: Your to-do list will never tell you you're enough... but you can.

    If you've ever felt like no matter how much you accomplish, it's never enough... this episode is for you.

  • Ep 168: It's Not Over: How Trauma Doesn't Get The Final Say
    18 Sep 2026

    What if your worst chapter isn't the end of your story?

    September is National Recovery Month and National Suicide Prevention Month—a reminder that healing is possible, hope is real, and it's not over.

    This week, I'm honored to sit down with Minister Katherine Brown whose journey includes surviving childhood trauma, addiction, incarceration, and unimaginable pain. Today, she uses her story to inspire others and remind them that their past does not have to define their future.

    Together, we'll discuss:

    - How trauma doesn't get the final say.

    -The road from surviving to truly living.

    -The power of faith, forgiveness, and second chances.

    -Why recovery is about more than breaking free from addiction—it's about reclaiming your life.

    If you've ever wondered whether healing is possible after life's darkest moments, this conversation is for you.

    Because no matter what you've been through...

    Your story isn't over.

    If this episode encourages even one person to hold on, ask for help, or believe that tomorrow can be different, it will have been worth it.
