In today’s solo episode, I’m sharing the real story behind my 47‑color hair disaster — and how it cracked open something much deeper inside me. What looked like frustration about my hair was actually old shame, old wounds, and old stories bubbling up in ways I didn’t expect.

I talk about the shame I’ve carried from my past, the “sins” I replay in my mind, and the Catholic guilt that shaped so much of my childhood. I open up about how those buried feelings come out sideways — yelling, snapping, overreacting, or melting down over something as simple as a bad color job.

I also share what’s been going on in my heart around my adult kids, the ache of powerlessness, and how anxiety moves through my body from my stomach to my heart. And then I bring it all back to faith, forgiveness, and FUN — including the joy I found reading The Wizard of Oz and reconnecting with that younger, lighter part of myself.

This episode is a reminder that we don’t have to carry yesterday into today. We can breathe, identify what’s really going on inside, and return to the light again and again.

In this episode, I talk about:

  • Why shame leaks out sideways
  • Catholic guilt, confession, and carrying old “sins”
  • Powerlessness over adult children
  • Anxiety in the body vs. the heart
  • Faith, forgiveness, and letting God carry the weight
  • Finding fun again — even with bad hair
  • The Wizard of Oz and reconnecting with joy

If you’re feeling heavy, overwhelmed, or hard on yourself, this episode will help you breathe, soften, and remember you’re not alone.
