It all started on the deck at home, Wednesday nights, no agenda, just snacks, stories, and whatever was sitting heavy or hilarious on our hearts. Somewhere between the laughter and the “wait-same” moments, we realized the more we share our truths, the more others feel free to do the same. Join me, my co-host Meg, and the incredible guests who gather on the Deck, telling our stories without shame and without pretending we have it all together. We’re figuring it out in real time, choosing honesty over highlight reels, growth over guilt. The kind of beautiful messiness that makes you feel seen.

    When others disappoint you... E95

    In this episode, we curl up and talk about handling the people in our lives who disappoint us or don’t show up... without becoming bitter, closed off, or overly self-critical. We also reflect on honoring those who DO show up and remembering how important that is. Along the way, we’re learning to set healthy boundaries and protect our peace, even when it isn’t easy.
