    Projections We Put on Others and Ourselves

    Have you ever caught yourself saying, “I’m just so busy,” or labeling someone else as “so disciplined,” “so organized,” or “such a hard worker”? In this episode, I’m unpacking the subtle (and sneaky) way we project identities onto other people—and onto ourselves—and how those words quietly shape our relationships and our reality. This conversation was sparked when someone told me (multiple times!) how busy I must be. And while that may have been true in past seasons, it made me pause and ask: Is that actually how I want to be known? Is that the identity I want to reinforce? Today, we’re talking about: How the phrases we use about others often reflect our own insecurities or desiresThe way labels create comparison and distance in our relationshipsWhy repeating identity statements (“I’m just bad at this” or “We’re just a boring married couple”) can lock us into cycles we don’t even wantAnd how to swap rigid identity statements for season-based language that gives us room to growI’ll also give you two simple, practical action steps: How to catch projections in real time and replace labels with curiosity-building questions.How to reframe self-labels into season statements so you stop boxing yourself into identities that don’t align with who you want to be.If you’ve ever felt boxed in by a label—or realized you might be boxing someone else in—this episode will help you shift from projection to curiosity, from comparison to connection, and from fixed identity to intentional growth. As always, if this resonates, share it with someone who might need the reminder. 🤍 Follow on Instagram LINK Apple Podcasts LINK Youtube LINK Spotify LINK Don't forget to check out Shared Shelves Book Club pod!

    Pillars of Progress: How Consumption, Environment and Emotion Affect Progress

    In today’s episode, I’m sharing a conversation that truly made me pause and reflect — the three core pillars that determine whether we’re actually making progress… or unknowingly holding ourselves back. What started as a lesson inside a nutrition accountability group (shoutout to a concept I learned from a registered dietitian I’ve followed for years) quickly became something so much bigger. While the framework was originally shared in the context of weight loss, I couldn’t stop thinking about how powerfully it applies to every area of our lives — our relationships, careers, confidence, mindset, and overall personal growth. In this episode, I break down: Consumption — What are you taking in daily (food, media, conversations, thoughts)? Is it fueling the version of you that you want to become… or quietly pulling you away from her?Environment — Are your surroundings and the people in your life energizing you or draining you? What subtle cues in your space are shaping your habits?Emotion — What feelings are actually driving your reactions, procrastination, or self-sabotage? And what happens when you finally name them?This is a very real, coffee-shop-style chat about awareness — because we can’t improve what we’re not aware of. If you’ve been feeling stuck in your health, your marriage, your friendships, your career, or even just in your own mindset, this episode will help you audit what’s really going on beneath the surface. My hope is that you walk away with tangible questions to ask yourself and a clearer understanding of what might be influencing your progress. If this resonates, share it with a friend who needs a little mindset shift today — and as always, thank you for being here. 💛 Follow on Instagram LINK Apple Podcasts LINK Youtube LINK Spotify LINK Don't forget to check out Shared Shelves Book Club pod!

    Redefining What Success Looks Like For You & Your Season

    What version of "success" are you chasing... is it even yours?? After leaving my job and stepping into a season of job searching, I’ve had so many interviewers ask what I'm looking for next and I've really had to stop and figure out what MY answer to that question is, rather than just what I think sounds good to them (or other people). Today's episode is all about how we ALLOW other people to dictate what SUCCESS means for us and a 3-step plan to QUIT doing that so that we can live our lives FULLY and with great CLARITY about what we want. If you’ve ever felt pressure to have it all together, keep up, or prove something to the world… this is your permission slip to slow down, rethink the rules, and choose what actually feels good to you. Think of this one as a gentle mindset reset and a little pep talk from a friend 🤍 Follow on Instagram LINK Apple Podcasts LINK Youtube LINK Spotify LINK Don't forget to check out Shared Shelves Book Club pod!

    Deficiency vs. Growth Mindset in Decision-Making

    If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or totally paralyzed by a big decision lately… this episode is for you. Last week, I shared the big decision to leave my job (without having a new one already lined up) and in today's episode, I’m getting real about decision fatigue, fear-based choices, and the mindset shift that finally helped me leave a job that was taking a serious toll on my mental health. I share what I’ve been learning about deficiency (scarcity) motivation vs. growth (abundance) motivation and how the lens you make decisions from can completely change how your life feels. Whether you’re thinking about leaving a job, ending or starting a relationship, having a hard conversation, changing your living situation, or making any life move you’ve been putting off, I hope this episode helps you stop spiraling in fear and start choosing from a place of growth, trust, and self-respect.

    Real Talk About Jealousy and How to Use it to Your Advantage

    Today's episode is all about the REAL and RAW feelings of JEALOUSY that we all get sometimes. It sucks to feel jealous, but those feelings are just feelings... we can use them to our ADVANTAGE rather than letting them keep us STUCK. In this episode, I share how we can use jealousy as a TOOL to: 1) give us CLARITY 2) show us proof of what's POSSIBLE The 2 step-plan you need to turn that jealousy into something PRODUCTIVE is to  1) let it be a SIGNAL that there is some unmet desire in your life - reflect on what this is 2) take ONE TINY ACTION toward that unmet desire As always, I love you, thank you for listening!

    Reframing Asking for Help

    Do you struggle to ask for help—even when you really need it? Or maybe you COULD do everything yourself… but you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, or quietly resentful? In today’s episode, we're diving into WHY asking for help feels so hard for so many of us (especially STRONG, independent women!!) and how to reframe it from something “needy” into something RESOURCEFUL, HUMBLE, and CONNECTED. This episode is a gentle pep talk and mindset shift for anyone who: * Feels like they have to do everything on their own * Struggles with resentment because they’re not getting help they haven’t asked for * Believes asking for help makes them weak, needy, or a burden * Wants more ease, connection, and support in everyday life If you’ve ever said, “I just don’t like asking for help,” this episode is for you. 💛 Share this with someone who needs the reminder—you don’t have to do it all alone.
