In this episode, I sit down with Emmy Award-winning journalist and author Katie Trexler to explore the often invisible sacrifices women make in the name of love, family, and responsibility. Katie shares what happens when those sacrifices come at the expense of our own identity. We talk about motherhood, marriage, financial independence, rebuilding after betrayal, and the courage it takes to rediscover yourself beyond the roles you've spent your life fulfilling. This conversation is for anyone who has poured themselves into caring for others and is beginning to wonder how they got so lost in the process. This conversation is a powerful reminder that loving others deeply should never require abandoning yourself.

Join me for a fun conversation with author Liz Burton to explore the courage it takes to stop hiding, embrace your imperfections, and finally let yourself be seen. Through humor, vulnerability, and hilariously honest reflections on motherhood, body image, and self-doubt, we talk about learning to laugh at ourselves without letting insecurity hold us back. This conversation is for anyone who has ever questioned whether they're good enough, felt pressured to fit someone else's mold, or kept a dream tucked away for fear of judgment. Sometimes the most liberating thing you can do is stop taking yourself so seriously and give yourself permission to be exactly who you are.

In this episode, I sit down with author and coach Stephanie O’Brien to explore what makes coaching truly transformational and why meaningful growth requires more than following someone else's formula for success. We talk about meeting people where they are, overcoming self-doubt, communicating our value, and creating sustainable change that fits the life we're actually living. This conversation is for anyone seeking support, building a purpose-driven business, or learning to trust their own definition of success instead of chasing someone else's expectations.

In this episode, I explore body doubling as a simple but powerful way to move through overwhelm, procrastination, and the loneliness of trying to do everything on your own.

This conversation is for anyone who struggles with getting started, staying focused, or following through. This episode is a reminder that asking for support is a strategy, not a weakness. If you are ready for that extra layer of support and encouragement, start with this episode, today.

In this episode, I explore the concept of anti-synchronicities, the painful, inconvenient, and unexpected moments that redirect our lives in ways we may not understand until much later, if at all. We talk about honoring grief without becoming trapped inside it, finding meaning without bypassing pain, and trusting that some of life’s greatest transformations arrive disguised as loss. This conversation is for anyone navigating a breakdown, unwanted ending, or season of uncertainty and learning to trust what may be unfolding beyond what they can currently see. Understanding anti-synchronicities is a chance to move through a painful season with clarity, perspective, and gratitude.

In this episode, I explore digital fasting as a way to reclaim the attention, energy, and mental space we unknowingly give away through constant consumption.

This conversation is for anyone feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or burned out who is ready to create more space for clarity, creativity, and intentional living. If that is you, you are not alone so hit play today.

Abigail here to deliver your annual reminder about how important journaling is. A healthy journaling session can be a way to release what feels clogged, stuck, unspoken, or heavy inside of you. In this episode, I talk about how putting your thoughts and emotions into words can create clarity, reveal beliefs you did not realize you were carrying, and reconnect you with your own voice. This conversation is for anyone who feels overwhelmed, emotionally backed up, or disconnected from themselves and needs a simple way back to center. If you are in need of realignment, this episode is a great place to start.

In this episode, I unpack the difference between patience, waiting, and force, and why they can feel similar while creating very different results. We explore how patience is an active practice of trust, surrender, and aligned participation, while waiting can slip into resignation and force can become a impulsive reaction to discomfort. This conversation is for anyone learning how to stay engaged with their dreams without gripping, rushing, or giving up. So if you are ready to shift from dreaming to doing, tune in today.

Breakdowns happen. Things don't work out. Things don't go our way. We may fall short of a goal or vision. Would you be surprised if I told you that breakdowns don't have to be long, drawn out, and painful? Because back in 2016, I would not have believed you. I learned that how we relate to and deal with a breakdown determines the the longevity and outcome of it. I am sharing a personal story about being triggered in my life coach training program when I saw a colleague move through a struggle with ease and reach her goal rather effortlessly. I was activated and inspired at the same time and thank goodness I was able to get over my pain and move into my potential. You can too and I am going to teach you exactly how today.

New age spirituality has popularized the phrase the "Dark Night of the Soul" but did you now it actually originates from from a 16th-century poem by the Catholic mystic Saint John of the Cross? Today people use it as a broad term for severe existential pain but what does it even really mean for you on your journey? I spent this episode giving more insight about this dark season of the inner work and some tips for how to make it through with your sanity in tact. We also talk about the mistakes about ego death and how you can find your way through it. Join me for some incredibly powerful truths that most pop culture coaches may not be telling you.

This is a refreshing episode for those who are tired of grinding through life trying to 'get somewhere' and want to experience the relief of simply being right where you are.

His experience and wisdom speaks volumes in this conversation so if you are ready to remember that life itself is the gift, tune in and hang out with us today.

What the heck does "Nervous System Regulation" even mean?? I wanted to dedicate an episode to explaining Nervous System Regulation because you might be feeling confused by pop therapy culture where everyone online is using jargon (myself included). It is easy to rattle off terms, titles, and abbreviations because I talk about healing and transformation daily but this episode is a chance to pump the breaks and take a closer look at what regulating your nervous system means (and doesn't mean).
