Ep. 299 | Creating Boundaries That Feel Like You

Feb 14th, 2026 5:38 PM

Boundaries aren't about being mean, they're about being honest with yourself. In this episode, I talk about how boundaries protect your energy, your growth, and your future. If you've spent your life people-pleasing, helping, or keeping the peace, setting boundaries can feel scary (and sometimes lonely). But every no creates space for the yes that actually matters. You'll learn why boundaries lead to better relationships, how resentment quietly builds when you ignore your needs, and what it really looks like to stay in integrity with yourself. If you're ready to stop tolerating what drains you and start protecting your peace, this one's for you.

Ep. 298 | The Grief of Growth: Releasing Who You Were

Feb 4th, 2026 8:00 AM

In this episode, Coach Jenn and I talk about the quiet grief that comes with becoming someone new, the part nobody warns you about. The mourning of old identities. The soft ache of outgrowing relationships. The strange in-between where who you were doesn't fit anymore… but who you're becoming hasn't fully landed yet. You'll hear why everything you've lived through wasn't random, it was preparation. Preparation for this season. This version of you. This next chapter that requires a different nervous system, different boundaries, and a deeper level of self-trust. We'll unpack: Why letting go can feel heavier than staying stuck How past versions of you served their purpose (even the messy ones) What it actually means to release identities and relationships that no longer align Why grief is often the doorway to your next level, not a sign you're doing it wrong You're not breaking apart. You're shedding skin. Press play and meet yourself where you are, not where you used to be, and not where you think you should already be.

Ep. 297 | Fun is Fuel

Jan 28th, 2026 8:00 AM

What if fun isn't a reward you earn… but fuel you run on? In this episode, we're reframing fun entirely, not as a bonus at the end of productivity, not as a luxury you squeeze in when everything else is done, and not even as a "self-care strategy." Fun is a nervous system reset. A return to the present moment. A soul-aligning, joy-raising, spirit-lifting necessity. You can't create a joyful life if joy isn't part of your daily equation. And no, you don't have to earn it, justify it, or be productive enough to deserve it. Fun brings you back into your body. Out of survival mode. Back into aliveness. Fun is fuel. Joy is medicine. Let's talk about why play, pleasure, and presence aren't optional, and how letting yourself have fun might be the most regulating, life-giving thing you do all week.

Ep. 296 | Move Your Body, Meet Yourself

Jan 22nd, 2026 12:45 AM

What if movement wasn't about fixing your body… but meeting yourself inside it? This week's episode is a reframe you didn't know you needed. Your emotions don't live in your brain — they live in your body. In your muscles. In your posture. In the way you hold your breath without even realizing it. Your body isn't just a vehicle for weight loss goals or aesthetics. It's a living record of your experiences, your stress, your joy, your grief, and your power. In this episode, I talk about: Why emotions are stored physically, not mentally How movement becomes a way to listen instead of punish Letting go of the calorie-burn, earn-your-food mindset Reclaiming movement as a love letter, not a sentence Why movement creates momentum — in your body and your life Wherever you're at today… meet yourself there. No forcing. No fixing. No earning. Just movement as a return to power, presence, and forward motion.

Ep. 295 | Stillness as a Strategy

Jan 14th, 2026 8:00 AM

We've been taught that slowing down means falling behind. That if you pause, you're quitting. That momentum only counts if you're constantly doing. This episode gently dismantles that lie. In Stillness as a Strategy, we talk about how stillness isn't stopping your life—it's letting your life catch up to you. How slowing down isn't a failure of discipline, but often a sign of wisdom. And how listening to yourself might be the most strategic move you can make when everything feels loud, heavy, or rushed. This conversation is for the ones who are tired of pushing, forcing, and powering through—yet don't want to give up on growth. It's about learning the difference between stagnation and intentional pause… and trusting that sometimes the most powerful progress happens when you stop running long enough to hear yourself again. You're not behind. You're not lazy. You might just be overdue for stillness.
