    Ep.171 Embracing The Beginner Within You

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of the Maybe I Can Podcast, I talk about what it really feels like to be a beginner again—and why it’s so much harder than we expect. Lately, I’ve found myself starting from scratch in a few areas of my life—learning Mahjong and writing a children’s picture book—and it’s brought up something I think we don’t talk about enough: Being a beginner is uncomfortable. As adults, we’re used to feeling competent.  We stick to what we know.  We avoid situations where we might look inexperienced or unsure. But growth doesn’t happen there. In this episode, I share: • What it actually feels like to start something new  • Why we resist being beginners (even when we want to grow)  • The stories we tell ourselves that hold us back  • Why most people quit too early  • How to stay with something long enough to see progress One of the biggest takeaways? Not knowing what you’re doing isn’t a sign to stop—it’s a sign that you’re growing. If you’ve been thinking about trying something new, or you’re in that uncomfortable phase where nothing feels easy yet, this episode will help you reframe what’s happening—and keep going. 🎙 Let me know in the comments:  What’s something new you’ve been wanting to try… but haven’t started yet?

    The 5 Stages of Perseverance No One Talks About

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of the Maybe I Can Podcast, I talk about something we all think we understand — perseverance — but may not fully recognize in our own lives. Because perseverance doesn’t always look the way we expect it to. We imagine it as those big, powerful moments where everything clicks and we push through and succeed. But in real life? It’s much quieter than that. Lately, I’ve been working through a bit of a funk in my business — struggling with motivation, questioning things, and feeling resistance in areas that used to feel easier. At the same time, I’ve been learning something completely new (Mahjong), and it showed me a different side of perseverance — one that includes frustration, slow progress, and learning curves. If you’ve been feeling stuck, unmotivated, or questioning yourself lately, this episode will help you understand what’s really happening — and how to keep moving forward. 🎙 Let me know in the comments:  Where are you in your journey right now — and what does perseverance look like for you?

    5 Signs You're in A Funk (and how to get your momentum back!)

    Send us Fan Mail You know the feeling. Nothing is terribly wrong in your life… but everything just feels a little harder than it should. Tasks feel heavier, motivation disappears, and you start questioning everything you're doing. Lately, I’ve been feeling this way myself — with my exercise routine, my creative work, and even the behind-the-scenes work of podcasting, writing, and speaking. Instead of pretending it isn’t happening, I decided to talk about it. One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that momentum usually comes after action — not before it. You don’t need a huge breakthrough to get unstuck. Sometimes you just need one small step forward. If you’ve been feeling a little stuck lately, this conversation is for you. 🎙 Listen to the full episode and let me know: What’s one small step you can take today?

    Ep. 168: Rewriting The Story of Your Life

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of the Maybe I Can Podcast, I talk about something that quietly shapes our lives — the stories we tell ourselves. For many years, I believed the thoughts running through my mind were simply facts. I told myself things like “this is just the way my life is” and never stopped to question them. But the truth is, many of the beliefs that keep us stuck aren’t facts at all. They’re stories we’ve been repeating for years — sometimes since childhood. In this episode, I share: How limiting stories become self-fulfilling propheciesThe powerful concept of E + R = O (Event + Response = Outcome)How past experiences and comments from others can shape the way we see ourselvesA simple way to start questioning the beliefs that may be holding you backThe moment we question the story, we create space for a new one. And sometimes that’s where real change begins. If you’ve ever felt like it’s too late, you missed your chance, or life “just is the way it is,” this conversation is for you.

    Ep. 167: Stop Negotiating With Yourself

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of the Maybe I Can Podcast, I talk about something we all do — negotiating with ourselves. This weekend alone, I caught myself talking myself in and out of exercise, work tasks, and even simple healthy habits. And it made me realize how powerful these small, quiet negotiations really are. Because every choice we make is a vote for who we’re becoming. In this episode, I share:  • Why motivation isn’t the real issue  • How avoidance erodes self-trust  • The difference between burnout and simple discomfort  • How action builds confidence — not the other way around If you’ve ever said, “I’ll start tomorrow” or “I just don’t feel motivated,” this conversation is for you. There will always be something you don’t feel like doing. The question isn’t whether you’re motivated. The question is: Who are you becoming? Let’s stop negotiating — and start showing up.

    Ep. 166: When Your Life Doesn't Follow the Expected Script

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of the Maybe I Can Podcast, I talk about what happens when your life doesn’t follow the expected script. After hearing someone younger than me share that she plans to retire at 63 — the same age I’m about to turn — I noticed how quickly my mind shifted into self-judgment. I started replaying financial decisions, questioning myself, and telling myself I should be further along. That reaction made me realize how often we measure our lives against someone else’s timeline — without knowing their full story. In this episode, I share:  • Why comparison ignores context  • How life chapters like infertility, caregiving, loss, and reinvention shift our timelines  • The emotional cost of measuring ourselves against others  • Why different does not mean delayed There is no universal life schedule. There is no single script we’re all supposed to follow. If you’ve ever felt behind, late, or like you missed something, this conversation is for you. You are exactly where you need to be — based on the life you’ve actually lived. Maybe we can put down the measuring stick together.

    Ep. 165: Impatience Is Anxiety in Disguise

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of the Maybe I Can Podcast, I talk about something I wrestle with regularly — impatience and the need to control outcomes. When I decide I want something, I want it done immediately. And when progress feels slow, I feel anxious, behind, and frustrated. I share how I realized that my impatience is often anxiety in disguise — especially after seasons of life that felt out of control. This year, I chose the word “steady” as my theme. Not slow. Not passive. But consistent without panicking. In this episode, I share:  • Why control can feel like safety  • How productivity can become fear in motion  • The burnout that comes from forcing timelines  • What it really means to “release the stopwatch” If you’ve been feeling behind or trying to rush your progress, this conversation is for you. We’re not late. We’re not behind.  We’re exactly where we need to be. Maybe we can trust that together.

    Ep. 164: The Habit of Second Guessing (and how to break it)

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of the Maybe I Can Podcast, I talk about something I know many of us struggle with — second guessing ourselves after a decision has already been made. I share personal stories about decisions that carried enormous emotional weight in my life — from financial choices in my marriage, to putting my beloved dog Yogi to sleep, to a painful decision involving my late husband that I questioned for a long time afterward. Second guessing doesn’t mean we’re weak or bad at making decisions. Often, it’s a learned response — especially for women who have carried emotional responsibility for others. We anticipate reactions. We try to prevent fallout. We crave certainty. If you’ve been replaying a decision in your mind lately, this conversation is for you. Remember — you made the best decision you could with the information you had at the time. Maybe you can trust yourself more than you think.
