Would you believe me if I told you January straight‑up lied to you? She’s that over-caffeinated friend who barges in, drinks your fancy coffee, urges you to start a podcast and a side hustle, reorganizes your pantry, and leaves you with a mess. That’s not discipline. That’s chaos in a cute outfit.

Here’s the good news: by the end of this episode, you’ll understand how to turn so‑called "failed" resolutions into momentum, using an easy four‑step framework that will help you make Decision‑Fatigue March your most productive, sustainable month yet.

Your momentum didn’t fizzle out because you’re lazy. It’s because January‑You, a motivational hologram, disappears when real life hits. March‑You are here, making real decisions. Today, we’ll build her a plan that works.

Today I’m talking with my friend Debra Fileta about her new book, People Skills, and why many relationships seem harder than they should. If you’ve ever left a conversation thinking, That’s not what I meant, there’s a reason—and it’s not because you’re unkind or uncaring.

This episode is for the try‑hard people. The ones who show up with good hearts and good intentions, yet still feel misunderstood. If you’ve ever thought, My heart is in the right place, so why does my message keep landing sideways? This conversation is going to feel like a deep exhale.

Debra explains why good intentions don’t guarantee good communication, how to avoid being an accidental jerk (even the nicest people can be), and the four stages of conversation most people never move past. We discuss why vulnerability builds trust and how small shifts in awareness can transform how people experience you. It’s honest, freeing, and will make every relationship in your life feel more open and connected.

What if your house is quietly gaslighting you into believing you’re still the 2021 version of yourself? Stay with me. Many of us are living inside a museum exhibit called "The Woman I Used to Be."

But this isn't just about your house. Digital spaces—outgrown apps, stagnant group chats, and endless feeds—reflect who you were, not who you are. Relationships and routines may be draining energy from outdated versions of yourself. Even old mental patterns can prevent you from recognizing your transformation.

It's no surprise you feel stuck or guilty. You're ready to grow, but your surroundings keep you tethered to your past. Today, we'll explore ways to let your environment evolve so you can keep moving forward.

Today’s Valentine’s Day episode is all about love, communication, and why relationships can feel absolutely magical one minute… and wildly confusing the next. I’m sitting down with Dr. Gary Chapman to dig into what’s really going on when love isn’t landing the way you hoped and why even the best intentions can still miss the mark.

If you’ve worked hard at connection but felt like you and your partner speak past each other, this episode is for you. We’ll name the hidden tensions behind mixed signals, silent hurts, and "I’m fine" moments to highlight what really disconnects us—often before arguments arise.

We explore how a single negative moment can outweigh positives, how your unique personality shapes love languages, and how to spot when your partner’s love tank is low—before it’s too late. If you’ve wondered, "Why does love still feel hard?" this episode will clarify what’s behind relational struggles and offer tools for understanding.

You don’t need confidence to start. You need evidence. Tiny actions. Brave reps. Faithful little steps that give your brain something solid to hold onto. Proof that says, We’ve done hard things before. We can do this again. Confidence isn’t the prerequisite. It’s the fruit of showing up long before you feel ready.

Most of us stay stuck because we’re waiting to feel qualified, healed, calm, or magically fearless. We dress it up and call it wisdom, strategy, or “just praying about it a little longer.” But deep down, we know the truth: that perfect, confident moment we’re hoping for never actually arrives.

Confidence doesn’t get you moving. Courage does. Confident women don’t start being confident. They start wobbly, unsure, and a little sweaty. They take the next right step anyway. Over time, they build a history of bravery. A stack of real-life evidence that whispers, I survived that uncomfortable thing. I can do the next one too.

And that evidence, not a quote or a pep talk, is what finally grows confidence that lasts.

Today’s episode will reframe how you think about your thoughts and mind. I’m sitting down with Dr. Lee Warren, a neurosurgeon and author, to talk about how your brain actually works and why the patterns running your life aren’t permanent.

We're diving into the neuroscience behind why your thoughts literally reshape your brain, how high-performing women can break free from limiting patterns, what God designed your brain to actually do, and yes, we're talking about social media, short-form content, and what it is doing to your brain without you even realizing it.

Here’s the hope you need today: you are not a victim of your mind. You’re not stuck with the brain you have, and you’re not powerless against old patterns. This conversation will show you how to intentionally rewire your thoughts and change the direction of your life from the inside out.

You know that sinking feeling when you know exactly what to do, yet can’t make yourself do it. You’ve lined up accountability partners, downloaded habit trackers, given yourself pep talks, and muscled through with willpower, and still, nothing sticks. If motivation keeps ghosting you, this one’s for you.

Here’s the reframe most of us were never taught: this might not be a discipline problem. It could be a delightful problem. When growth feels like punishment, it never lasts. And when willpower runs out, and it always does, only joy keeps you moving. Real delight.

Today, we’re rethinking discipline from the ground up..not with more pressure, another color‑coded system, or more “try harder” energy that exhausts you before you start. We’ll use a smarter, kinder, more sustainable way to build consistency, one that works with your real life.

By the end, you’ll know how to create rhythms that feel lighter, habits that feel supportive, and a version of discipline that finally carries you forward.

Today I’m sitting down with Erin Port—one of my brilliant business coaching clients and a dear friend—to discuss her new book, Tiny Tweaks, Happy Life. If you’re tired of empty promises, burnout, and overwhelming advice, you’ll relate to our conversation.

Here’s what I know about you: you don’t need permission to rest or rise. You need a strategy that fits your life—something that helps you enjoy your days rather than just get through them. That’s what Erin offers. She shows how small tweaks create momentum you didn’t know you needed.

This is how high performers stay consistent without burnout. They don’t overhaul their routines or lives. They adjust, optimize, and move forward with intention.
