Episodes
  • Success Doesn’t Require Self-Abandonment (For High-Achievers)
    Feb 17 2026

    Success should not require you to override your body, ignore your values, or push past your limits just to prove you’re capable.

    In this solo episode, we challenge hustle culture without swinging into passivity or guilt. Because success isn’t just something you achieve — it’s something you have to sustain.

    We’re unpacking:

    • How ambition quietly turns into self-betrayal
    • The hidden cost of always “pushing through”
    • Why consistency should feel like integrity, not exhaustion
    • What aligned effort actually feels like in real life

    This conversation is especially for high-achieving women and entrepreneurs who feel the pressure to keep going… even when their nervous system, capacity, and values are asking for something different.

  • When You Finally Let Yourself Cry
    Feb 10 2026

    There comes a point where holding it together becomes heavier than letting it out.

    In this solo episode, I’m sharing a moment from a recent mentorship space where the room was filled with unspoken weight — women carrying responsibilities, expectations, grief, pressure… and trying to keep smiling through it.

    Then something shifted.

    A simple prayer gave us permission to release — to cry, to exhale, to admit we’re tired of being strong all the time.

    This episode is for the woman who keeps pushing, keeps producing, keeps showing up… while quietly holding everything in.

    You don’t have to carry it alone.

    And sometimes the most healing thing you can do… is let it out.

    We talk about:

    • Why high-functioning women suppress emotion

    • What happens in the body when we don’t release

    • The spiritual + emotional permission to cry

    • How release creates regulation and clarity

    • Why tears are not weakness — they’re processing

    If you’ve been holding it in… this is your permission moment.

  • Not Restarting Returning on Purpose | A Grounded Welcome Back
    Feb 3 2026

    This isn’t a restart. It’s a return on purpose and on my own timing. In this welcome back episode, I share why I stepped away, what rest taught me, and how I’m choosing to show up differently in this next season.

    This episode is a gentle welcome back, not an apology and not an explanation, but a reflection.

    After taking time to slow down, reset, and recalibrate, I’m returning to the podcast with more clarity, intention, and grounded wisdom. In this episode, I talk about why rest can look like inconsistency to others, how pressure and productivity culture can distort our pace, and why choosing your own timing is an act of self-respect.

    If you’ve ever felt guilty for slowing down, questioned your motivation, or felt rushed to show up before you were ready, this episode is for you.

    This season isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing what matters on purpose.

    🎧 New episodes are coming with deeper conversations around rest, boundaries, nervous system regulation, and sustainable success.
