This episode is a gentle but honest conversation about empathy, privilege, and what it means to stay human in a heavy world.

We are living in a time where injustice and suffering are unfolding in real time — and while protecting our mental health matters, the ability to look away is often a privilege. In today’s episode, we talk about staying informed without becoming overwhelmed, resisting divisive narratives, and choosing compassion even when it feels uncomfortable.

This is not about having all the answers.

It’s about choosing to care, to stand with others, and to live with intention in the midst of uncertainty.

Listener discretion advised — this episode addresses heavy topics and may be emotionally challenging

As we look ahead to a new year, it’s easy to feel the pressure to plan, optimize, and “get it right.” But before you set goals or make lists for 2026, there’s one mindset shift that matters more than anything else.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing the mindset shift I’m carrying into 2026 — one that has helped me live with more intention, presence, and peace in the middle of a full, busy life.

This episode is for the woman who:

1. Loves her life but often feels rushed
2. Wants to be more present without doing less
3. Is craving meaning, not more pressure
4. Desires a year that feels intentional, grounded, and joy-filled

If you’ve been longing for a new year that feels calmer, more aligned, and more reflective of what truly matters, this episode is a gentle place to begin.

It’s officially 2026—and this year, I’m choosing a different kind of New Year.

Instead of jumping straight into big goal-setting sessions and perfectly mapped-out plans, I’m leaning into something gentler: progress over perfection.

In this episode, I’m sharing a very real reflection on what this New Year has looked like for me—goal planning at the kitchen table with my four-year-old, rearranging our home to fit this season of life, and learning to release the pressure to do everything “the right way.”

We’re talking about:

1. Why your goals don’t have to be all-or-nothing to matter
2. How to let intentions guide you instead of restrict you
3. Focusing on small, meaningful steps that move you forward
4. Giving yourself permission to build momentum slowly and sustainably
5. Choosing progress—even when life feels messy, full, or unfinished

If you’re stepping into this year craving clarity, peace, and a little more grace for yourself, this episode is for you. You don’t need more time or a perfect plan—you just need one small step forward.

✨ If this episode encouraged you, I’d love for you to share it with a friend who could use a little extra grace this New Year—or leave a quick review to help this podcast reach more hearts like yours. Your support means more than you know.

Here’s to a different kind of New Year. One rooted in intention, growth, and showing up exactly as you are. 💛

There’s just a few days left before we say goodbye to 2025 and welcome a brand new year. Can you believe it?

This time between Christmas and New Year can be a lot. In one way, time seems to move so slowly, not knowing what day or time it is. Stuck in this in between of do I stop, slow down & savor this season, or do I move ahead and refresh for the start of something new.

And in all reality, I find this time of year to be so refreshing in the unknown. And while there are so many strong voices pulling you in all the different ways based on where you may look, I am here to be your confident reminder, that you can absolutely tune all that noise out.

Sharing with you the ONE thing you must do before the end of the year, this is an episode you definitely don’t want to miss!
