#113. Who Are You in Your Relationship, and do You Like it?
Jan 2200:19:05Tap to summarizeWho you are in your relationship matters more than you may realize. In this episode, we explore the concept of your relationship identity, -how you see yourself, who you believe you are, and the role you unconsciously play in your marriage and other close relationships. Many women are still operating from identities formed decades ago, which are often rooted in survival, people-pleasing, resentment, or victimhood…without ever realizing it. If you’ve ever thought: “Something feels off, but I can’t name it,” “I don’t really like who I am in this relationship,” or “I don’t want to keep repeating this same dynamic,” this episode is for you. We’ll talk about: How early marriage and family roles shape your identity Common relationship identities women adopt (and why they make sense) Why staying loyal to an outdated identity creates resentment and disconnection How identity, -not effort, is what actually changes relationships How to tap into your Future Self to consciously create a new, healthier relationship identity Powerful “I am” statements to help you shift who you’re being from the inside out This is sacred, grown-up relationship work that can be a game changer for you. You don’t need your partner to change first. Transformation begins when you do. 🤗 Thanks for listening, please leave a rating and review, and share with a friend!

Jan 1500:29:07Tap to summarizeHave you ever thought, “How are we still arguing about this?” You’ve talked it through. You’ve explained yourself. Y ou’ve tried to be patient. And yet… the same argument keeps resurfacing. In this episode, we explore why recurring arguments happen and how to finally interrupt the cycle, -without blame, pressure, or needing the other person to change first. Using the Self-Coaching Model, you’ll learn how repeated conflict is often driven not by the issue itself, but by an unexamined thought that keeps creating the same emotional reaction. This conversation will help you: Understand why talking it out hasn’t resolved the issue Identify the thought fueling the emotional charge Regulate your emotions instead of reacting from them Create connection and clarity without self-abandonment If you’re ready to stop having the same fight on repeat and start responding with calm, confidence, and self-trust, -this episode is for you! 🤗 Thanks for listening, please share with a friend!

Transcribe →#111 A Healthy Approach to The New Year
Jan 800:19:57Tap to summarizeIn this episode, we explore why your brain needs intentional reflection, how gratitude and growth build emotional resilience, and why confidence is less about motivation and more about self‑trust. Using Scott D. Clary’s idea of confidence as a self‑credit score, we talk about how keeping small promises to yourself builds real confidence — and how unrealistic goals quietly erode it. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why your brain doesn’t naturally highlight the positive — and how reflection boosts dopamine and serotonin How unresolved frustration from the past can block future progress Why progress matters more than perfection when setting goals How reflection helps you identify your core values What it really means to build confidence through self‑trust How to set goals you’ll actually keep — and feel proud of You don’t need more motivation. You need more trust in yourself. And that trust is built one kept promise at a time. 🤗 Thanks for listening, please share with a friend!

Jul 10, 202500:14:45Tap to summarizeOne of the underlying questions I observe in my coaching is…"How much should I give?" Specifically, in the context of relationships.

Jun 19, 202500:26:31Tap to summarizeAfter last week’s episode on protein, I heard from so many of you asking about my favorite supplements, and I love that, because it tells me we’re all tuning into what our bodies really need in this season. So today, I thought we’d continue the conversation and dive into what’s worked for me, and what I often recommend to the women I coach. So… what do I like best? Great question, because midlife brings some serious hormonal and metabolic shifts. From declining estrogen and progesterone to changes in muscle mass, bone density, and energy, our bodies are asking for support in brand new ways. We also might be facing health challenges that feel completely foreign compared to how we felt in our 20s or 30s, -and it can be overwhelming trying to figure out what’s actually helpful. That’s why in today’s episode, I want to cut through the noise and share the most effective, science-backed, and realistic supplement choices to support your health, energy, and vitality in midlife.
