I'm getting real and raw about the total chaos of my life after having my daughter. I was juggling an intense startup job, family dynamics were shifting, and I was deep in the "Why me?" headspace. Why is all of this stuff happening at once? This episode is about the pivot: transforming that question into a radical, optimistic challenge: Why Not Me?

My best friend Alexis Larson grills me on:

The Resilience Muscle: It's not something you're born with—it’s a skill you build, and it's essential for your overall longevity and mindset.
The Unfiltered Parenting Struggle: From my daughter's sleep-strike to realizing the hard work of parenting is the work on yourself (and building a patience muscle that I straight-up don't have).
My Journey to Get Un-Stuck: Getting real about needing intentional therapy, going on medication, leaning on my glass-half-full husband Ciaran, and setting boundaries when I felt like I was everyone's mom.
The Generational Shift: How we’re taking on the "ocean" of healing family trauma and why we can't expect our two-year-olds to regulate when we can't even regulate our own feelings.
The Five-Year Vision: From corporate life to building a coaching series and workshops to help other young moms in business make the most of the situation they're dealt.

The message is simple: You have to make changes in your life. You can't keep holding all the plates up. Let’s talk about how to stop mentally blocking the hard stuff and start building the life you want.
