After more than eight years of releasing weekly episodes and recently passed the 400 mark, I wanted to sit down and share what’s really been going on behind the scenes.
In this episode, I talk honestly about this current season of life – adding another baby, full schedules, late nights, early mornings – and what it feels like when you’ve been living beyond your capacity for a long time.
I share why this podcast is taking a pause, what I mean by doing a “controlled burn,” and how I’m learning to stop treading water and start building the boat instead. I’ll talk about margin, connection, and redefining what thriving looks like when life feels full.
