The Power of Oxygen 1st
When my son was little, I was a single mom who was doing it all alone. I was putting everyone else first and my own needs last. To everyone around me, I was successful but little did they know that my success was tied to pushing, stressing, sleepless nights and early morning workouts pushing my body and my limits to the extreme. Until one day I was flying alone and nearly crashed an airplane and I realized that I needed to take care of my own needs first before anyone else. You see, when you’re a pilot, if you have any issues in the plane, you put on your oxygen mask 1st, not your passengers. They need you to land the plane.
This podcast is all about this journey to healing, to getting clear on the desires of your heart… and stepping into them with courage while leaning into, asking for and receiving support. I hope you feel inspired to do less, to follow your passions and infuse them into your daily life and truly claim the life you were meant to live: a life filled to the brim with epic ADVENTURE.

EP 92: Letting Go: The Courage to Make Space for What’s Next
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
I’m back and it feels so good to finally say that. After moving across Colorado, going through a divorce, and restructuring my business, I’ve learned firsthand what it means to let go and start again.
In this episode, I’m sharing a very personal story about the $100 gym cancellation that taught me a much bigger lesson: sometimes the cost of alignment is worth every penny. Letting go isn’t giving up—it’s how we create space for what’s meant to come next.
I’ll walk you through:
- How I knew it was time to release what no longer fit
- Why the cost of staying stuck is always higher than the cost of change
- My three-step process for letting go with compassion and courage
- A reflection to help you reconnect with your truth and energy
Take a deep breath with me and ask yourself: What’s ready to fall away? Where have I already outgrown the version of myself that’s still trying to stay?
