Today’s podcast guest Susanna Merrick, founder of Aura Wear, agrees that as much as we will try to be the generation that does it perfectly, we are all going to f*ck up our kids. I know I’m dedicated to doing it differently than my parents did, but I’m not denying it will happen.
I’m tired of having the same conversations on repeat. I’m tired of assessing risk. I’m numb from numbing and wondering WTf do we do next? Where do we go from here?
Why do we so often wait until motherhood to find and own our worth? Warning: I say at least TWO very smart things in this episode, and Ryanne Glasper, our guest, says more than two smart things — to help us opt out of the garbage, re-parent ourselves, and own our f*cking worth.
In this episode I share a few words of wisdom from my beloved ballet teacher Kat Wildish including, “Transitions are expensive.” They’re expensive because to have the control, musicality, sensitivity, and awareness to make them seamless takes years of training. Our breath naturally transitions easily from inhale to exhale. Day transitions to night. We’ve transitioned from 2021 to 2022. So let’s dance our way into this new year. One breath at a time.
Today we talk to Paula Espinosa Valarezo about how she and her husband are both actively engaged in building an EPIC partnership, how they do it, and how they approached becoming parents with this in mind. By keeping THEIR partnership central to the equations.
Recently in my storytelling class with Carly Ann Filbin of Written in Brooklyn, I told a story about my fear and anxieties before my second wedding. It was reflected back to me that the part of the story that was compelling wasn’t what I’d originally thought, but the self doubts I had about getting married again. How could I be sure that my trauma and baggage wouldn’t pollute this? Us? Him?
We’ve got our first DAD on the show! Andy Kingman and I talk about the effects of becoming parents on marriage, friendships, and gender roles — wanting to change internalized, perceived, and assumed gender roles for our children, and in the process, building relationship capital with our kids.
In this week’s episode I go deep on the power of the stories we tell ourselves and each other. It is through our storytelling (no matter the medium) that we choose which wolf we are feeding inside of us. Which leads me to my question… What stories do you tell? Which wolf to feed?

Today we talk about how to know if you need or want boundaries, how to create them, maintain them, and use them to love others and yourself. Because the reality is, we are often the ones violating our own boundaries and abandoning ourselves.
Today’s guest Chef Carlas Contrereas has become fierce with her boundaries and honoring her highest priorities since becoming a mother. In this episode we talk about honoring our postpartum journeys, recovering from birth trauma, and how we never stop moving, learning, and growing.
In this week’s episode I talk about how a trip to Miraval Berkshires shifted my perspective on my fast paced life and nurtured my connection to the feminine collective. We are only as strong as our weakest member. It’s time to come together, do less, and live more.
