You’re not too much. You’re not being dramatic. You’re not complaining — you’re human.

In episode 21, we’re diving into the emotional weight so many of us carry in silence — the kind that comes from always being the strong one, the helper, the one who says “I’m fine” with tears behind our eyes.

We talk about the difference between venting and feeling like a victim… between expressing pain and being negative… and how being heard — truly heard — can be one of the most healing experiences we can offer one another.

I’ll share personal stories of when I felt unsupported, silenced, or judged for speaking up — and what changed when I finally allowed myself to be honest. We’ll also explore:

• How to find your safe people (and set boundaries with the rest)

• What support actually looks like (and what it’s not)

• Why connection is not about attention — it’s about being witnessed

• Practical tools to process heavy emotions and receive support without shame

If you’ve ever been afraid to share your truth… if you’re navigating chronic illness, grief, overwhelm, or just holding too much — this one’s for you.

Come sit with me. Let’s talk about the power of being real.

💛 You're not a burden. You're just carrying more than most people see — and you deserve to be heard.

In episode 20, we explore what real support looks like for those living with chronic illness. Whether you’re navigating your own health journey or walking alongside someone who is, this episode offers compassionate insights and practical tips to help you show up with love, presence, and grace.

I share personal stories from my own life—including the unwavering support I’ve received from my husband Jeff, my family, and dear friends—and break down what true, meaningful support can look and feel like.

Together, we’ll talk about:

• The emotional side of being there for someone with chronic illness

• What not to say, and what helps more than you might realize

• Simple, practical ways to show up and make life a little easier

• How to hold space for hard days without trying to fix them

• Why small gestures and consistency matter more than perfection

• Whether you’re a caregiver, partner, friend, or someone simply trying to understand, this episode will help you support the people you love in a way that truly matters.

💛 You don’t have to have the perfect words—you just have to care.

Episode 19:

Guilt. It's heavy. It's sneaky. And if you've ever been sick — especially while trying to care for your kids or your family — you probably know it all too well.

In this raw and heartfelt episode, I share a recent experience that brought up old emotions and fresh clarity. From a much-needed retreat to an unexpected emergency, I walk you through the moments that reminded me just how hard we can be on ourselves — and how much gentleness we deserve.

Whether you're a mom navigating chronic illness, a caregiver who never gets a break, or someone learning to rest without shame, this episode is for you.

We’ll talk about:

The guilt that shows up when you can't do it all

What I wish someone had told me when I was sick

Why compassion is easier to offer others than ourselves

How we can start to shift that inner voice

A gentle breath practice to help you release the weight you’ve been carrying

You are not alone. You are not failing. And it is okay to rest.

💚 Let's get through today — together.
