In this episode, I sit down with my first-ever guest, Kade, for an honest, grounded conversation about what divorce actually feels like — this time with a man’s perspective.

I met Kade while wandering the wild mess of life in Nashville, at a time when we had both recently moved there after our divorces, trying to rebuild and rediscover who we were, even as we were still running from some hard truths we weren't yet ready to see.

Together, we talk about the parts of divorce no one really prepares you for, including:

• the identity loss that comes after marriage ends
• grieving the future you thought you were going to have
• why healing isn’t linear and why “rock bottom” can happen more than once
• dating after divorce and why it feels different the second time around
• the pressure to “get it right” next time — and the fear of doing it all again
• why some healing can only happen once you’re back in a relationship

This episode is for anyone navigating life after divorce and learning how to rebuild — without rushing the process or abandoning themselves.

This aims to remind you, you're not alone in this feeling, and the season may end, but the game isn’t over.

Comparison is the quiet thief of joy, and this year, we are done letting it run the show.

In this episode, I talk about why feeling “behind” is an illusion created by comparison—especially in a world obsessed with timelines, numbers, and visibility. I share a personal moment that almost stopped me from recording, along with a metaphor about walking your own path instead of running someone else’s. This episode is for anyone who’s been questioning their pace, doubting their progress, or feeling overwhelmed by where others seem to be.

This episode is here to remind you that you are not late, not broken, and not failing. You are exactly where you’re meant to be. Our paths aren’t meant to look like anyone else’s.. and they never were.

This will give you all the confirmation you need to know: You are not behind, and someone else’s success does not take from yours! Just keep focusing on making the hands you were dealt a winning one!

Why do New Year goals feel so motivating… and then quietly fall apart a few weeks later?

In this episode, I break down the real reason goals fail — and it has nothing to do with laziness or lack of discipline. I walk you through the psychology of the nervous system, self-concept, and why big goals can start to feel unsafe, triggering self-sabotage and burnout when expectations exceed capacity. You’ll learn how to reframe goals into achievable, nervous-system-friendly steps, build self-trust through small wins, and become your own biggest hype person. This episode is a reminder that you’re not broken — you just need a safer path forward. Reset, reframe, and start again… without shame.
