    Accepting Who You're Not

    SYNOPSIS So much of our inner tension comes from trying to be someone we think we should be. This episode explores how honesty about who you are right now - not who you might become someday or who you think you have to be - can be a powerful act of self-acceptance and emotional relief.

    Preventative Mental Healthcare

    SYNOPSIS Many of us wait until stress, anxiety, or conflict becomes unmanageable before asking for help. In this episode, I reflect on how early support can prevent bigger problems and why reaching out sooner creates more sustainable emotional, relational, and mental health.

    Resolutions, Reconsidered

    SYNOPSIS Instead of rushing into resolutions, this episode explores a slower, more seasonal approach to the New Year. I reflect on 2025, introduce the idea of a “2026 starter pack,” and invite you to rest, take stock, and wait until spring before deciding what truly deserves your energy.

    Turning Our Best Intentions into Practices

    SYNOPSIS We all have values, priorities, and goals we care about—but without practices to match, they stay as intentions. In this episode, we look at how small, intentional steps can bridge the gap between what we want and what we live, offering gentle encouragement to start where you are and build the life you actually want.
