073 - 3 Practices That Create Rockstar Relationships

Relationships shape the way we experience our lives. When they feel supportive, honest, and safe, everything flows a little easier. When they feel tense, confusing, or disconnected, it can affect everything from your nervous system to the way you move through your day. In this episode, I’m sharing three simple practices that can completely change the quality of your relationships, including the one you have with yourself. We talk about what happens when you stop assuming what other people are thinking, stop taking everything personally, and learn how to communicate what you’re actually feeling from a grounded place instead of a reactive one. I also share why emotional regulation matters so much in relationships and how self-awareness changes the way we connect with everyone around us. These are the kinds of small shifts that create deeper trust, calmer conversations, and more honesty in the relationships that matter most. Most importantly, this episode is a reminder that your relationship with yourself sets the tone for every other relationship in your life. The more connected, safe, and secure you feel within yourself, the more your external relationships begin to reflect that back to you.Resources: Tuned In MembershipMoon & MeSolid In Self Course

072 - Grief Changed Me. These 5 Practices Helped Me Find Myself Again.

Grief changes you. There’s no clean ending to it, no moment where it suddenly disappears and life goes back to normal. In this episode, I’m sharing a very personal part of my story and the practices that helped me reconnect with myself after losing my first son and later walking through my mother’s cancer journey and death. For a long time, I felt disconnected from my body, my energy, and my sense of self. What helped me move forward was learning how to support myself instead of abandoning myself inside the sadness. I walk through the five decisions that slowly helped me take my life back from grief. Building a spiritual practice that felt true for me. Allowing uncomfortable feelings instead of resisting them. Learning to trust myself. Prioritizing my self-care. Committing to mindfulness and consistently tuning into my inner world. These weren’t overnight shifts. They became practices that helped me feel grounded, connected, and safe in myself again over time. If you are grieving, feeling lost, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from your body, I hope this episode reminds you that healing is possible and that you do not have to move through it alone. Your body holds wisdom even in the hardest seasons. You can learn to trust yourself through them.Resources: Tuned In Membership

071 - What “The Work” Actually Means (And How to Know If You’re Ready)

In this episode, I’m breaking down what I actually mean when I say “the work,” because I talk about it a lot and I know it can feel a little vague. The work isn’t a checklist or a quick fix. It’s getting honest with yourself. It’s taking responsibility for your role in your relationships, your patterns, and the things in your life that don’t feel good. I walk through how this process starts with self-awareness, learning to recognize what’s yours and what isn’t, and understanding how your beliefs and behaviors are shaping the way you show up every single day. This is the deeper layer that most people avoid, but it’s also where everything starts to shift. I also talk about how to know when you’re actually ready for this work. Usually, it’s when you’re tired of your own patterns, when your intuition keeps nudging you, or when your relationships feel strained and something just isn’t working anymore. This work isn’t always comfortable, but it’s what creates real change. When you start listening to your body, owning your reactions, and showing up differently, your confidence grows and your relationships transform. This episode is your starting point to understand what the work really looks like and whether you’re ready to step into it. Resources: Tuned In MembershipMoon & MeSolid In Self Course

070 - The Real Reason Business Owners Need to Tune In (It’s Not What You Think)

In this episode, I’m talking directly to the woman who is building something of her own and feeling the weight of it. Being a business owner isn’t just about strategy or showing up online. It’s about how you show up for yourself. I share my own experience of building businesses over the years and what I’ve learned the hard way. When things feel overwhelming or you’re stuck in patterns that aren’t working, it almost always comes back to how you’re taking care of yourself. Your energy, your mindset, your emotional resilience, all of that is driving your business whether you realize it or not. I walk through why self-awareness is the foundation for sustainable success and how tuning into your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health changes the way you operate as a business owner. We talk about breaking out of autopilot, taking ownership of your reactions, and using simple tools like pausing and breathing to stay grounded in high-stress moments. This isn’t a quick fix. It’s a shift in how you live and lead. When you take the time to come back to yourself, you stop being run by your business and start leading it from a place that actually feels solid and aligned.

069 - Less Stuff, More Connection: Designing a Harmonized Home with Julia Jackson

In this episode, I’m joined by Julia Jackson, and we’re talking about something that goes way deeper than just decluttering your home. We get into how your environment impacts how you feel, how you show up, and how you connect with your family. What starts as “too much stuff” quickly becomes a conversation about time, energy, and presence. We talk about the mental load of managing everything in your home, the reality of raising kids in a space that feels both lived in and supportive, and how small, consistent shifts can completely change how your home functions and feels. This conversation goes beyond organizing bins and cleaning routines. It’s about creating a home that actually supports your life, not one that overwhelms it. We talk about finding your own version of what “enough” looks like, teaching your kids how to take ownership in a way that feels realistic, and recognizing that the goal isn’t perfection, it’s connection. At the end of the day, your home is the place where your life is happening. When you clear some of the noise and create more intention in your space, you create more room for the moments that actually matter.

068 - What Are You Consuming? A Simple Check-In That Changes Everything

In this episode, I’m sharing a real-time reflection on something I’ve been thinking a lot about lately… my consumption. Not just food and drink, but everything I’m taking in throughout the day. What I’m listening to, what I’m watching, what I’m scrolling, and even the physical things I’m buying and bringing into my space. When I started really paying attention, I realized how easy it is to overconsume without even thinking about it, and how that constant input can make it harder to hear my own inner voice. This episode is an invitation to slow down and become more aware of what you’re letting into your life on a daily basis. I walk through five key areas of consumption and how they impact your energy, focus, and connection to yourself. From mindless habits like reaching for certain foods or always having something playing in your ears, to scrolling or buying things out of impulse, it all adds up. When you start noticing what you’re consuming and whether it actually supports how you want to feel, everything becomes clearer. You create more space, more presence, and more connection to what really matters.

067 - How to Connect Back to Yourself in a World Full of Noise

In this episode, I’m talking about what it really means to connect back to yourself in a world that is constantly pulling your attention outward. From your phone to social media to other people’s opinions, the noise is everywhere and it’s designed to keep you distracted from the one relationship that matters most, the one you have with yourself. I walk through why so many women feel disconnected, not because they’re doing something wrong, but because they’ve never been taught how to notice themselves within their lives. This episode is an invitation to slow down, get honest about what you’re feeling, and recognize that self-awareness isn’t something you’re born with, it’s a skill you build. I break down three foundational pieces to reconnecting with yourself: having the desire to truly know yourself, creating space and time to do that, and being willing to prioritize yourself even when it feels uncomfortable. I share my own experience of feeling completely disconnected after a season of loss and survival mode, and how choosing myself became the turning point. This isn’t about fixing yourself, it’s about coming back to yourself. When you start building that relationship, everything else in your life shifts, from how you handle stress to how you show up in your relationships. This episode will challenge you to rethink what it means to prioritize yourself and give you a starting point to begin that process. Resources: Tuned In Membership

066 - Emotional Resiliency: How to Stop Overreacting and Start Responding

I’m diving into emotional resiliency and why learning to understand your emotions is one of the most important things you can do for your personal growth. I share how emotions aren’t something to avoid or fix, but something to feel and move through. When you start recognizing how emotions actually show up in your body, you create space between what you feel and how you react. That space is everything. It’s what allows you to stop living in constant reactivity and start showing up more grounded in your relationships, your work, and your day-to-day life. I walk through real examples of what this looks like in practice, from feeling triggered in a conversation to navigating emotionally charged situations without taking everything personally. This work is about taking ownership of your emotions instead of projecting them outward, and giving yourself the space to process what’s actually happening beneath the surface. When you build this awareness, everything shifts. Your relationships feel lighter, your reactions feel more intentional, and you start responding from a place that actually reflects who you want to be. This episode is your invitation to slow down, tune into your body, and begin building emotional resiliency in a way that supports you, not works against you. Resources: Tuned In Membership
