  • #177: How to Hold Regret Without it Holding You Back
    Jan 8 2026

    A lot of people are carrying decisions from last year they wish had gone differently — and I don’t want you spending the entire first chunk of 2026 quietly recovering from 2025.

    This episode is about how to experience regret without letting it define you, derail you, or keep you stuck in self-judgment.

    You don’t need to get rid of regret. You just need a healthier relationship with it.

    Here’s where we go today:

    • Why regret doesn’t HAVE TO mean you failed and need to pay penance with shame

    • How accepting that regret will happen actually prevents shame and self-blame

    • The difference between feeling regret and over-identifying with it

    • How it helps to identify thoughts and emotions when regret hits

    • The most important question to ask after regret shows up

    If you’ve ever worried that regret means you “chose wrong,” this episode will help you move forward without punishing yourself.

  • #176: How to Think BIG in 2026 (Even if 2025 Beat You Up a Bit)
    Jan 1 2026

    Happy New Year! 🎉 Whatever happened last year, today I'm asking you to think big for 2026.

    And I get it - 2025 asked a lot of people (I'm right there with you). Professionally, relationally, blood-sweat-and-tears-ily - you might feel a little beat up right now.

    So can you possibly think big without pretending you're not tired?

    You start right here. Here's where we go today:

    • Why tough seasons quietly put us into “defense mode” - and how long that can last if we don’t interrupt it

    • The difference between reacting to life vs. actually leading it

    • How to start a new chapter without waiting for everything to feel resolved, healed, or perfect

    • Why thinking big doesn’t have to mean thinking loud, fast, or exhausting

    • The single most important question to ask yourself this year - and why avoiding it keeps you stuck

    If you want to meet yourself where you are AND choose where you’re going next, this is for you!

  • #175: Decision Detox: How to End the Year Strong and Aligned
    Oct 2 2025

    It’s time for an End-of-Year Detox!

    This is a perfect time of year to clear mental clutter, zoom out on what actually matters, and align your next 90-ish days with what you really want—so December 31st you feels proud, not like “what just happened?”

    You get a 3-part exercise today (but I don’t want you to skip it ‘cause it feels big, so I made sure you can do it on a dog walk).

    Here’s where we go:

    • How to figure out your top priorities for the end of the year
    • What to look for in your existing plans (hint: autopilot obligations can (and will!) crowd everything else out)
    • A simple way to make intentional, impactful choices (without overhauling your whole life) and end the year happier
