Mindset is everything… and sometimes that means letting yourself go off on a tangent that ends up being exactly the truth you needed. In this episode, I’m talking about the messy middle — the moments where your brain jumps tracks, your plans shift, and somehow you still find clarity in the chaos. If you’ve ever felt like your thoughts take the scenic route, this one’s for you.

The One Where I Finally Tell the Truth

We made it guys. episode three.

In this week’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain a little more than usual. No script. No polished edges. Just me, talking through the messy middle of motherhood, ADHD, identity, and the pressure to hold everything together while quietly falling apart behind the scenes.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re juggling too many versions of yourself — the mom, the partner, the friend, the woman you used to be — this one will feel like a deep exhale. I’m sharing the moments I usually keep to myself, the ones that don’t make it to Instagram, and the ones I know so many of us carry alone.

We’re talking:

• The emotional whiplash of “doing it all”

• The guilt that sneaks in when you’re overstimulated, exhausted, or just done

• The tiny wins that keep us going

• The truth about what it looks like to rebuild yourself while raising tiny humans

This episode is for every overwhelmed, brilliant, chaotic, loving mom who’s trying her best — even when her best looks different every day.

this isn’t just a confession. It’s a conversation about repair, self-compassion, and the tiny mindset shifts that help us show up again after the moments we’re not proud of. Ali shares the tools she used to reconnect with her kids, regulate her nervous system, and rewrite the story in real time.

If you’ve ever ended a morning thinking, “How did we get here?” — this episode will make you feel seen, grounded, and a little less alone.
