If you’ve ever wondered what happens on a coaching call and whether personalized support could help you, this episode pulls back the curtain to show you my coaching in action.What starts as a simple weight loss question reveals deeper emotional wounds around body image, infertility, shame, and self-worth. Just one compassionate coaching conversation creates a profound emotional and mindset shift. This episode will help you understand how my trauma-informed life coaching works, why nervous system safety matters for behavior change, and why goals must always come from self-love—not pressure or self-criticism.

When Attachment Breaks: Repairing the Bond with Your Kids

Send us a textIf you’ve ever wondered whether you “messed up” your child, this episode is for you. Secure attachment does NOT come from perfect parenting. It comes from repair after inevitable ruptures. Attachment breaks happen in every family but connection can always be rebuilt.In this deeply personal episode, we continue to unpack attachment theory — but this time through the real, messy lens of my own experience with separation, grief, and ongoing repair. If you carry mom guilt about time away, postpartum struggle, work demands, family crisis, marital issues, or other life events that led you to be physically or emotionally absent—you'll walk away with hope, clarity, and solidarity that it's never too late to repair connection with your kids.BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:Secure attachment doesn’t require constant presenceAll relationships (especially parent-child ones) experience ruptures. This is normal and unavoidable!You can wound attachment without doing anything “wrong”, and yet attachment isn’t ruined by one event (more by bigger, unaddressed patterns)Repair attempts matter—even when they don’t seem to workEven very young children benefit from simple, truthful language that acknowledges and validates their felt experienceFeeling guilt does not equal being guilty.
