It's Okay to Not Be Okay!
Today, I’m here to close the loop on something I’ve promised to discuss. For those of you who have been following along, you know I’ve been going through some stuff lately, and I said I’d come back to talk about it. So here I am, ready to share why it’s okay not to be okay and why we need to normalize it.
When I was going through my rough patch, it was shocking how often people would ask how I was doing, and I’d automatically respond with, “I’m great, how are you?” even when I wasn’t. It felt so inauthentic, and that’s why I think we need to talk about it, not as a Debbie Downer, but to be honest and authentic and create genuine connections. It’s essential to recognize that it’s okay not to be okay.
We all need help at some point, yet we often say we’re fine when we’re not.
Over the past 12 weeks, I kept telling people I was fine when I wasn’t, and it felt like a narrator in my head said, “She was not indeed fine.” every time I said those words, “I’m okay”.
No one wants to dump their problems on a casual acquaintance, but with close ones, we should be truthful. It’s important to admit when we’re struggling, both to ourselves and to our loved ones.
By pretending to be okay, we miss opportunities for genuine connection and support. When we say we’re fine when we’re not, we shame ourselves unnecessarily.
I learned that lesson the hard way, feeling like I had always to be great. I wasn’t being authentic, and it took a toll on me. It’s essential to be honest and seek help when needed.
Podsters, let’s normalize not being okay. If someone asks how you are, be honest. You don’t have to explain everything, but you can say, “I’ve been better.” Let’s be real with ourselves and each other. It’s okay not to be okay; acknowledging that is a step towards healing.

Summer Bucket List EP107
Podsters, what if I told you there is a way to celebrate joy, focus on your priorities, hold yourself accountable for what matters most, and have a boatload of fun along the way?
Would you do it?
Would you want to do it? I know you would. Who doesn’t want more happiness in their life.
That's exactly what I’m going to share with you today. The why, how, and what to add to your summer bucket list.
This isn’t just another to do list where it feels like work to cross things off. It’s a list that is celebrating, enjoying the moments, and focusing on things that make you happy.
Trust me, making the list will create accountability to keep joy as a focus this summer.
So buckle up, Podsters. It's going to be a fun, whimsical, and powerful conversation.

Own Your Why (Part 2) EP106
Hello, Podsters! I’ve been noticing recently that every woman I’m working with, particularly in Speaker School- EVERY ONE has one thing in common. It doesn’t matter if they want to share their stories on stage, host workshops, write books, or simply live their truth; there is ONE common thread between everyone.
It’s the power of their story.
So today, we are diving in. Head first into the TRUE WHY for your story. Your goals. Your dreams. WHY is THIS THING so important? And why is that why so important?
Today I’m taking you through the “why” exercise which you may remember from several months back. I use this exercise with every one-on-one client and each time – the ultimate result is the same. It doesn’t matter how we get there, or how much resistance comes to the surface – EVERY TIME, we end up with an epiphany which reveals the true “why” behind this desire the change. This why becomes your True North and propels you forward when you consider giving up.
So, Podsters today we will explore your “why” and this new awareness will help you live your truth.
Because once you tap into your “why”, you will NEVER look back.

Authentic AF: Live Your Truth by Doubling Down on Your Values EP105
Hey Podsters, today is about REMEMBERING WHO YOU ARE.
Why is this important? Because when you show up as someone other than yourself, when you lose your way, when you can’t find your True North - you get stuck. You spiral. You show up without joy. And Podsters - that’s not fun for anyone.
Today I’m walking you through an exercise to help you get back to you. To go back to your True North. This exercise will help you find YOU so you can authentically and confidentially show up for yourself and experience more joy.
We start with honing in on your values. Your values are your compass. They guide you back to you when things get uncomfortable or misaligned.
So buckle up, we are going deep into your core values so that you can show up for yourself again and again and again.
GRAB YOUR FREE VALUES EXERCISE HERE.
I walk you through this process today and if you don’t have time to grab the tool - I’ve got you! All you need is a pen and a piece if paper and I’ll take you through finding your True North.
Until next time, keep it real, stay true to you, and Podsters, Peace out!

Letting Go of What's Not Serving You EP103
I’m serving up an oldie, a goodie, and a quickie, Podsters! Get ready for a treat as we revisit one of our most popular episodes: 'Letting Go of What's No Longer Serving You,' featuring the fabulous Beth Knauss, co-founder of Unmute Yourself podcast.
It's a quickie, but boy, do we pack a punch as we dive into the art of purging and letting go—be it people, places, things, habits, or beliefs. Because sometimes, making space for the new requires shedding the old.
I'll be back with a bang next week and in the meantime, I'm taking a quick break to recharge and recalibrate.
Until next, Podsters, remember to let go of what no longer serves you. Peace out!
