In this episode, Khalila sits down with Coach Tammy Nicole — a licensed clinician with 22 years in the mental health field who now coaches high‑capacity women navigating people‑pleasing, emotional labor, overfunctioning, and identity loss. Tammy shares how many women lose themselves by living out the identities others choose for them, and why reclaiming your voice begins with learning to love, validate, and trust yourself.

Together, they talk about the cost of doing everything for everyone else, how childhood messages shape adult behavior, and why “who you are shows up everywhere” — in your work, relationships, parenting, and leadership. Tammy breaks down the difference between therapy and coaching, the power of boundaries, and why keeping your word to yourself is the foundation of self‑trust.

This conversation is full of analogies, wisdom, and practical guidance for anyone ready to stop overfunctioning and start coming back home to themselves.

In this episode of Where We Rise, Khalila sits down with award‑winning author and world traveler Meg Stafford to explore how curiosity, courage, and connection shape a life of adventure. Meg shares the stories behind her book Who Will Accompany You?, the travels that shaped her, and the journeys her daughters took that stretched her heart in new ways.

You’ll hear Meg reflect on:

• The curiosity that led her around the world
• What it felt like to leave her 17‑year‑old daughter at a monastery in Nepal
• The fear and pride of watching her older daughter accompany peace communities in Colombia
• Why travel helps her “breathe more deeply” and reconnect with herself
• How hiking and biking offer a slower, richer way to experience a place
• Why you don’t have to cross the world to feel the magic of exploration

Meg reminds us that travel doesn’t have to be far to be meaningful — “there’s plenty of it close to home.” Whether you’re dreaming of mountains, oceans, or your nearest state park, this conversation will inspire you to look for wonder wherever you are.
