In today's episode, I'm talking about the moment my ex asked me what it would take to get back together - and how years of healing showed up in one sentence I didn't even plan to say.

I share the story of feeling the pull to give him a list of conditions, to manage what shouldn't be managed, and how I chose dignity instead - telling him he deserved to be with someone who loved him exactly as he is.

We'll explore what it means to love someone without asking them to change, and how real intimacy requires honesty over comfort.

Question to carry into your day:
Where in your life are you trying to change someone to meet your needs - and what would it look like if you kept the focus on yourself instead?

In today's episode, I'm talking about how fear sabotages us - not with drama or rebellion, but quietly, by disguising itself as forgetfulness or procrastination.

I share the story of a client who stopped picking up her GLP medication right when it started working, and what happened when we named the sabotage for what it really was: fear of change.

We'll explore how recognition helps us see what's actually happening underneath our behavior - and how that awareness is what makes different choices possible.

Question to carry into your day:
Where might fear be quietly sabotaging something that could actually help you right now?

In today's episode, I'm talking about what it looks like when someone meets your chaos with grace - and what happens when you forget to do the same.

I share the story of my friend Liz showing me what grace looks like in action, and how it made me realize I hadn't done the same for my brother.

Question to carry into your day:
When someone's chaos spills into your life, instead of making their worst moment mean something about who they are, can you meet them with grace today?
