She Moves Forward
A podcast for women who know there’s more for them.
Here, we talk about growth, relationships, identity, healing, purpose, and the quiet becoming that happens when you finally stop abandoning yourself.
Through honest conversations and meaningful reflection, this space will remind you that you are not behind, not stuck, and not meant to do life alone.
You’re becoming—and you don’t have to do it perfectly to move forward.

Today I’m sharing something very personal and exciting—the heart behind my brand change from Start in the Middle to She Moves Forward.
This isn’t just a new name. It’s a reflection of growth, community, connection, and the woman I’ve become through some of life’s hardest seasons.
In this episode, I’m sharing why this shift matters, what “moving forward” truly means to me, and the bigger vision I have for creating spaces where women feel seen, supported, and never alone.

Hello, hello, my friends, and welcome back to the podcast. So if you're thinking, huh, something sounds different. Something sounds strange. I didn't get the music that I normally get at the beginning of this podcast. Well, you would be correct. I have something so exciting that I want to share with you today. So today's episode is a really special one because I am going to share with you something that's been quietly unfolding behind the scenes for quite some time now. This isn't just a new logo. It isn't just a new name. This is a total shift in vision. So you are getting it just as it is unfolding to me. So more than likely in the next couple of weeks, as you're listening to this podcast, you'll start to notice something is different. So as I mentioned, this isn't just a shift in vision, it is a shift in purpose. And honestly, a reflection of how much I personally have changed. So for those of you who have been around for a while, you know this space started as start in the middle. And that meant so much to me because it truly reflected my own story. Because at the time I was rebuilding. Starting my life over in so many ways. But over the last couple of years, something has begun to shift inside of me. I realized that it doesn't really matter what age you are. Women are often carrying the same exact stories, the same fears, the same wounds, the same desire to feel seen, connected, understood, and truly alive. And I realized I no longer wanted my work to only center around what can happen to women in midlife. Because let's be honest, women in their 20s, their 30s, their 40s, and 50s and beyond, we're all trying to figure out what it means to live authentically. We're all trying to figure out how to create meaningful relationships in our lives, how to stop shrinking ourselves, how to stop carrying shame from the past. And most importantly, how to stop feeling like we have to do everything all alone. And honestly, one of the biggest catalysts for this shift happened when my husband became very ill last year. And again, for those of you who know my story and know my journey, you remember that I had to take a pause in my business for that season because I was solely taking care of him while he was going through this illness. And during that time, I ended up having some time after the fact to really reflect. And I took that space for myself. And what became very clear to me was this I don't just want to create one-to-one transformations. I want to create a community because you've heard me say it before. I truly believe that we were never meant to do life alone. Some of the greatest healing and growth happens when women come together and realize, me too. Oh, I've felt that way too. And the honest reflections of no, you're not crazy. And no, you're not alone. And over the last couple of years, I realized something else about myself too. I deeply desire community. My best moments. I am in my element when I am surrounded by other like-minded women. And I've also learned that I don't have to be the smartest person in the room. I've learned that I don't have to figure everything out on my own. I've also learned that I don't always have to be the strong one. And honestly, life feels so much richer when we allow ourselves to lean on other people who genuinely care about us, especially during those hard seasons like we had last year. Walking through health struggles with my spouse taught me just how important true friendships are. I had people who actually noticed when I was not okay. People who checked in on me on a daily basis, people who sat with me during the multiple surgeries and during the hard times of all of the different diagnoses. And it also taught me the importance of taking care of my own mental health instead of allowing myself to live in a constant state of high alert during that time of so many unknowns. So after a lot of reflection and a lot of growth, and honestly, a lot of becoming, I realized I'm no longer feeling like I'm starting in the middle. I'm actually moving forward. And that is where the name She Moves Forward was born. When I hear those words, I don't think perfection, I don't think hustle, I don't think fixing myself because there is nothing wrong with me, and there is nothing wrong with you. To me, moving forward means letting go of the shame, the regret and the guilt and the stories that have kept you and me stuck for years. It means taking real steps toward the woman you will be proud of in the future. It means no longer shrinking yourself to be liked, no longer people pleasing just to feel connected, no longer abandoning yourself in order to belong. It's actually forward momentum. It's becoming. Whether it's a retreat, whether it's my podcast, whether it's a brand new book experience that I'm going to tell you about in a minute, or whether it is simply a conversation that we have online. I want women to feel seen. I want them to feel like this is a safe space where they feel connected and reminded that they do not have to do life alone. So officially, welcome to She Moves Forward, a space where women come together to create connection, growth, and become their most authentic selves. And honestly, I feel more aligned with this vision than I have ever before. If this message resonates with you today, I would absolutely love for you to join us in the upcoming book experience because it's being created with the exact heart behind this fresh vision. It's real connection, real conversations, and authentic growth alongside other women. So if this is something that you might be interested in, I ask you to come find me on Facebook or even on my brand new TikTok channel where I'll be sharing more conversations around growth, connection, relationships, authenticity, and what it really looks like to move forward. So for those of you who have been on this journey with me, I want to say thank you for being here. Thank you for growing with me. Thank you for allowing me to grow and evolve. And thank you for allowing this space to evolve. I truly believe the best things happen when women stop trying to do life alone. And I think we are just getting started. So be on the lookout for some small changes. As I mentioned, this is unfolding to you first, and then you'll start to see those small changes happen. And hey, if you have any questions, reach out to me. I'll post my email inside the show notes as well as the link for that brand new book experience. Inside this experience, I have personally handpicked three amazing books that I really think are going to help you to move forward. And we're doing this all together. All right. I'll talk to you soon.
