    Self-Awareness Hell & the Practice of Self-Amusement

    What if the thing keeping you stuck isn’t a lack of self-awareness — but too much of it? In this episode, I share a story from mile 92 of the Whistler Ironman...when I realized I’d been riding in the wrong gear the entire race, my thighs were on fire, people were passing me, and I had one hour to finish the bike or be disqualified from the entire event. I couldn’t change the hill...but I could change how much I suffered on it. That moment became a metaphor for something I see constantly in high-achieving, thoughtful people: we don’t stop striving when we enter the healing world...we just turn that striving inward. Self-awareness becomes another performance, another prison, another version of pressure. Also called: self-awareness hell. In this episode, we explore: Why self-awareness alone can actually reinforce shameHow high achievers over-optimize healing and get stuckThe difference between self-awareness and self-amusementWhy humor is not avoidance, but nervous-system regulationHow a simple jingle (“good thing I like hills”) helped me keep going...in endurance sports, pregnancy, and lifeSelf-amusement is not bypassing or denial. It's an advanced spiritual practice! If you’ve ever felt trapped in over-analysis, exhausted by “doing the work,” or secretly wondered if healing is supposed to feel lighter than this then this episode is for you! What’s your jingle for the next hill you’re facing?

    From Shedding to Momentum: The Year of the Snake Into the Year of the Horse

    If you’re ready to move forward but don’t want to repeat old patterns at a faster pace, this episode is for you. In the Chinese Zodiac, the Year of the Snake is about shedding, endings, and deep internal change. The Year of the Horse brings momentum, confidence, leadership, and forward motion. In this episode of Powerful Stuff, I guide you through the shift between the two so you can integrate what you’re releasing and step into what’s next with clarity and energy. You’ll get a simple breakdown of the Snake-to-Horse transition, personal stories from my own season of change, a short guided meditation, and reflection questions designed to help you feel grounded, complete, and genuinely ready to move. This isn’t about predicting the year ahead. It’s about leaving this episode feeling integrated from what you shed, clear, connected, and ready to create freedom from structure as you step into the year of the horse in 2026!

    Repairing resentments and the rite of passage into parenthood: a relationship tell-all with my husband

    We’re not here to pretend our relationship is perfect. In this episode, Spencer and I break down the biggest patterns we had to face-from feeling unseen, to poorly timed vulnerability, to how pregnancy amplified every unspoken need. We share the process we used with our Gottman coach, how we learned to repair faster, and the rituals we created to rebuild trust and adoration as we transition from pregnancy parenthood. If you crave a partnership that evolves instead of erodes, this is your roadmap.
