How do you know that you’re alive today? A recent conversation with my grandpa, who is at the end of his life, sparked something in me that I haven’t been able to stop thinking about.

In this episode, I share how this question has shaped my new daily mantra, the shifts I’ve been navigating, the choices I’m weighing (like another baby, a career pivot, or a whole year of travel). I also have some big announcements, including a brand new podcast format, an upcoming retreat for our community, and the changes coming to Healing Her. Tune in to learn how to intentionally step into a life that feels fully alive.

In this episode, I'm going to share my proven process for gaining clarity and confidence as you move forward. We'll also discuss the importance of rest and not feeling behind.
