Crying is not something that needs to be fixed.

It’s communication.

In this episode, I talk about tears. Not just the painful ones, but the tears that come from awe, love, connection, and being alive.

For most of my life, crying only meant something was wrong. Until one moment changed how I understood it forever.

We talk about why crying is one of the first languages we ever speak, how we’re taught to stop our tears instead of listening to them, and why letting yourself cry can be one of the most grounding and honest acts there is.

This episode is for anyone who has been holding it together for too long.

For anyone who feels emotional and doesn’t know why.

For anyone who needs permission to feel without fixing.

Crying is not weakness.

It’s intelligence.

It’s energy moving.

It’s proof that something mattered.

Let it all out.

Sometimes life doesn’t ask you to swim… it just asks you not to drown.

In this episode, I talk about seasons where all you can do is tread water, and why those seasons are not failures. We explore self-preservation, endurance, guilt around “falling behind,” and the quiet strength it takes to stay afloat when life feels heavy.

This is Episode 13 and the beginning of Season Two of Mother McIntosh. If you’ve been surviving more than thriving lately, this one is for you. You might not be swimming forward, but we can celebrate that you are afloat!

When my favorite mug broke, I thought I lost a piece of myself.

What I really lost was a version of me that had already done its job.

In this episode, we talk about shedding old identities, grieving who we used to be, and learning that growth doesn’t mean you’re broken; it just means you’re changing containers.

Different mug.

Different skin.

Same soul.

If you’ve been feeling quieter, softer, or unsure of who you’re becoming… this one is for you <3

Soft growth, steady truth.

This episode is an invitation to step out of discount energy and remember that nothing about you belongs on a clearance rack. We explore the quiet ways we bargain with ourselves in the name of love, fear, or comfort and the strength it takes to rise out of those patterns. This is a soft yet powerful conversation about reclaiming your worth, honoring your boundaries, and choosing yourself with confidence. If you are moving into a season of deeper value and fuller self respect, this one will feel like a helping hand.

This episode is all about the bravery it takes to walk into the darker corners of your mind. The places you’d rather avoid, the emotions you’ve pushed aside, the lessons that keep circling back until you finally sit with them.

I talk about why facing your darkness isn’t a punishment; it’s a path. A path that so many of us have gone on, faced ourselves, and risen on the other side of stronger, softer, and more whole.

If you’re in your own “dark night,” this one is for you. You’re not alone, and you WILL rise.

In this episode, I talk about the trap of waiting “until.”

- Until you feel ready

- Until the money comes

-Until the fear leaves

-Until it makes sense.

The truth is, “until” is a thief. It convinces you that there’s a perfect version of you or a perfect moment on the other side of delay, and that’s just not real life.

Today I’m talking about what happens when you finally kill ‘until’ : how to start where you are, make peace with imperfection, and move even when you don’t have every piece of the puzzle yet. Because if you don’t kill “until,” it will quietly kill your dreams, your peace, and your ability to grow :/

After a little three-month reset, Mother McIntosh is back 😝 softer, stronger, and with a whole new perspective on what it really means to let go.

We’ve all heard that saying, “If you love something, let it go,” but this episode dives into what that actually means beyond the cliché. It’s not about losing a person, a dream, or a part of yourself… it’s about releasing the situation that’s no longer aligned with your peace.

I talk about what letting go really looks like when your heart still cares, why control is the biggest block to flow, and how to start seeing “NO” as “Next Opportunity.” This episode is for anyone in a season of surrender — whether you’re letting go of a relationship, an expectation, or just the version of you that used to need control.

It’s raw, real, and a reminder that nothing meant for you will ever require you to chase it.

In this episode, I’m serving up something deeper than just breakfast food; we’re talking perspective. If you’ve ever felt like your job, or your role in life, is pointless, this one’s for you. I open up about my experience in the service industry and how I learned that even the most overlooked work can be full of meaning when you shift your focus.

It’s not about taking orders; it’s about taking care of people. It’s not about the tips; it’s about the touchpoints of connection.

The moral of the story? Everything you do has purpose when you focus on the right things. Sometimes, the most humbling roles are the most human ones.
