Decision-making is like a muscle, the more you use it, the stronger it gets. We make choices every day, but when it comes to the big ones - changing jobs, leaving relationships, or starting something new - the process can feel paralyzing. In this episode, I explore the two core reasons we struggle to make decisions: lack of clarity and fear. You'll learn how these mental blocks show up in your life, why they keep you stuck in indecision, and what you can do to build confidence in your ability to choose. If you've been stuck in overthinking, waiting for the "perfect time," or second-guessing yourself, this episode will help you move from analysis paralysis to confident action.

Handing a flashlight to someone who's in the dark may not be the most effective way to help them. Today we're talking about what to do when someone you care about is struggling. There's no right or wrong way to offer support, but changing a few words in our approach can often make all the difference! Sometimes we want to fix things or "hand them the flashlight" … but real support often looks softer, slower, and more human. I want to help you shift your language, your approach, and your energy so you can be present, compassionate, and helpful, without trying to rescue, solve or "fix" someone who's struggling. If you've ever wondered how to truly help a friend, partner, or loved one through a tough season, this episode is your guide to showing up with empathy. "Nothing hurts more than seeing someone I care about hurting." Enjoyed this episode? Don't forget to leave a review and send it to a friend.

In this episode, I'm challenging one of the biggest lies in the health & wellness industry - the idea that you're broken. I want to share the approach I use with clients to help them heal without shame or self-judgment, and how believing you're broken can actually keep you stuck in the same patterns you're trying to escape. You'll learn why the "fix yourself" mentality can backfire, and what real, sustainable growth looks like. If you've ever felt like you're constantly "working on yourself" but never feeling better, this will help you rethink your approach to healing. Enjoyed this episode?
