177. I'm Back! Part Four－Grief, Joy, and Survival Mode Jan 22, 2026

Show notes

In Part Four of this raw and real series, I pick up where we left off — after the darkest moment of my life, in the strange stillness that followed.

This episode is about what it feels like to try to rebuild… again.

The highs, the lows, the whiplash between the two — and the decision to finally start simplifying everything for the sake of motherhood, mental health, and alignment.

What started with a retreat I thought would be life-changing (spoiler alert: it wasn’t) led me to some of the clearest realizations I’ve had all year — and a few big life pivots that no one saw coming.

Including the biggest surprise of all… I'm pregnant.

This episode weaves together the grief of the previous season, the joy of new beginnings, and the gritty, often chaotic, reality of survival mode when you’re trying to hold it all together — while also learning to let it all go.

176. I'm Back! Part Three－My Husband's Attempt and Immediate Shifts Jan 21, 2026

Show notes

The moment my world froze: July 14th, 2025, as I was sitting in a parking lot with my daughter, while our lives unraveled.

This episode is the hardest one yet — raw details of the day my husband attempted suicide, the whirlwind that followed, and the impossible choices I had to make in the chaos.

I'll be sharing a lot of intimate details publicly despite the inevitable pushback... because vulnerability and community are exactly what kept me from crumbling during the hardest moments.

Content note: This episode discusses a suicide attempt, mental health crisis, and related trauma. If you're in crisis, please call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or chat at 988lifeline.org.

You are NOT alone.

175. I'm Back! Part Two－Rebuilding from the Ground Up Jan 20, 2026

Show notes

After the Costa Rica high and the painful decision to leave my marriage, I decided to rebuild everything — starting with myself, my energy, and Birthworker.com...

In this episode, I share the raw, real details of that first chapter of starting over as a single mom and entrepreneur:

How reclaiming my energy felt like magic after years of daily fights draining everything out of me...
How the exact same “I’ll just do it all because I can” pattern from my marriage had been quietly killing my business too — and what happened when I finally broke the cycle
Losing my nanny, stepping into full single-mom mode… and the huge irony: carrying the load alone felt easier without the shadow of a failing relationship...
The warp-speed rebuild that had me 99% ready to relaunch by early July… and feeling more like me than I had in years...

If you’re in a season of rebuilding — whether it’s your business, your family, or your whole damn life — this one’s for you.

When you stop pouring energy into what drains you, you finally get to pour it into what lights you up. Sometimes the scariest changes unlock everything else.

174. I'm Back! Part One－Costa Rica and Coming Home Jan 19, 2026

Show notes

I went to Costa Rica for a retreat expecting a fresh start… and came home realizing my entire life was misaligned.

In this raw opening episode, I share my story of how a misaligned life will eat you alive... and how it will continue to show up in your life in every way possible, until it's loud enough that you finally listen.

If you're feeling that slow-building misalignment in your own life — business, marriage, motherhood — this one's for you.
