In this episode, I’m sharing a deeply personal moment from my own healing journey—a three-day “cold war” with my husband that cracked something wide open inside me.

I talk about the emotional triggers that come up in relationships, especially in the messy middle of motherhood, personal growth, and ambition. If you’ve ever felt like the people closest to you don’t see how much you’ve grown, or if you’ve questioned your path when validation doesn’t come, this episode will land in your heart.

I unpack the layers of healing that happen once you’ve committed to growth: the old wounds that resurface, the doubts that creep in, and the strength it takes to keep choosing your vision. I also share what it looks like to be the anchor of your own emotional safety, to stop outsourcing your worth, and to keep building your dream life and raising your babies—without losing yourself in the process.

If you’re navigating emotional burnout, relationship tension, identity shifts, or just trying to stay grounded while holding so much—it’s all here. This episode is for the woman who knows she’s meant for more, but sometimes forgets just how powerful she is.

  1. Healing in motherhood isn’t always linear—it’s layered, raw, and often triggered by the people we love most.

  8. Why becoming your own biggest cheerleader is essential on your healing journey.
  9. This is what it really looks like to heal while you grow—messy, beautiful, and deeply human.
  10. You don’t have to choose between being an amazing mother and an ambitious woman—you get to be both.
