In this episode, I sit down with Dan Cumberland, the founder of The Meaning Movement and Dan Cumberland Labs, to explore a different side of artificial intelligence. Instead of just talking about how AI can make us faster or more productive, we dive into how it can actually help us slow down, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most. I share my own experiences and questions about using AI for deeper thinking, journaling, and aligning my daily actions with my values. Dan brings his unique journey from ministry and psychology to entrepreneurship and AI consulting, and together we discuss: Why adopting new tech sometimes makes us busier, not freer How I use AI as a mirror for self-reflection, not just a productivity tool Dan’s “POWER” framework for integrating AI into your workflow with intention Real-life ways I use AI for journaling, coaching, and surfacing deeper insights The importance of being intentional and clear about your values when working with AI How AI can support (or sometimes challenge) our intuition and creativity Practical examples from both my family life and business If you’ve ever felt curious about AI but worried about losing your humanity in the process, this conversation is for you. I hope it helps you find new ways to use technology as a tool for awareness and meaning.

Welcome to this episode where I get real about time blindness—why it happens, why it’s not your fault, and how I’ve learned to work with it instead of against it. As a woman who juggles multiple calendars and responsibilities, I know firsthand how slippery time can feel. I’ll share my own experiences, the science behind why our brains struggle with time, and three ritual-based strategies that have helped me (and my clients) make time visible and tangible. You’ll learn: Why time blindness is neurological and cultural, not a personal failure How modern life and multiple roles make it harder for women to “see” time My favorite rituals for externalizing time: visual timers, time mapping, and event-based anchors The importance of community, shared rhythms, and collective support If you’re ready to stop feeling guilty and start working with your brain (not against it), this episode is for you.

Hey friends! I am SO excited to share this episode with you! Today, I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with Will R Young—he’s a behavioral finance expert, a practicing stoic philosopher, and the author of “The Enough Equation.”  in today's episode, we deep into the big, juicy question: What if the real secret to a meaningful life isn’t having more, but needing less? Will and I explored how chasing “more” can actually leave us feeling less present and less joyful, and how embracing “enough” can open the door to freedom, peace, and genuine happiness. In this episode, you’ll hear: How Will blends behavioral finance with stoic wisdom (and why it’s not all about the money!) The wild stories that shaped his view on what really matters (spoiler: it’s not fancy cars or big houses) My own reflections on how experiences and relationships light me up way more than stuff ever could Practical tips for resisting the “more, more, more!” trap and focusing on what truly fills your cup Will’s favorite rituals and routines for staying grounded (and how I’m totally stealing some of them!) Why generosity, adventure, and a little bit of travel hacking can make life so much richer Plus, Will shares his secrets for using points and miles to travel first class (seriously, I’m taking notes!), and we talk about how redefining success around sufficiency could change not just our lives, but our whole culture. If you’ve ever wondered what “enough” really means for you—or just want to hear two people get super jazzed about living with intention and joy—this episode is for you!

You know that feeling when the holidays roll around and suddenly your joy gets buried under all the wrapping paper and to-do lists? Yeah—me too. I love the lights, the cocoa, the matching jammies… but I also know how easy it is to lose myself in all the “should.” In this episode, I’m hitting pause with you to talk about designing a holiday that feels magical and manageable. I’ll walk you through my VISION method for setting your holiday goals—connecting to your values, reflecting on what brings you joy, checking your capacity, and naming what really matters. We’ll talk about how to batch your holiday tasks (like shopping, decorating, and baking) so you can free up more time for the good stuff. Because you deserve a season that feels cozy, calm, and true to you. This is your gentle reminder that you don’t have to earn joy—you can plan for it. Let’s sip some cocoa, set some peaceful intentions, and slay (just a little) in the most restful way possible.
