Hey Reader, At some point, most of us start to feel a quiet discomfort…A sense that the life we’re living doesn’t quite match who we are.But it can be hard to name what’s wrong because on paper, things seem fine. In this week’s Life Intended podcast, Sadie and I are unpacking something that sits at the root of that feeling: identity. We’re talking about: – The early labels we absorb (“the good one,” “the strong one,” “the achiever”) – The ways we wear masks to fit into roles that were never...

Hey Reader, Awaken starts this week and we couldn’t imagine a more aligned time to kick it off. Because let’s be real. Most women, like us, don’t need more information. They need more space to integrate what they are learning, more support to process it and more courage to live it. And this is exactly the kind of experience we’re creating inside Awaken. Awaken is not an information download. It is a 6-week guided journey for women who are juggling a multitude of roles in their lives, and who...

Hi Reader, We ended last week with a powerful Friday Reset on a topic that, is concerningly, but maybe not so surprisingly, out of reach for women - Self compassion Intentional kindness toward yourself, especially when things are hard. To help us explore this for ourselves, Sadie shared a framework from researcher and author Kristin Neff, who describes self-compassion as having three core components: Self-Kindness – Speaking to yourself the way you would a close friend Common Humanity –...

Hi Reader, You’ll hear us talk a lot about Self-leadership, which really starts with self awareness. This is a life skill typically not taught in school so as adults when we go through any transition, or feel pulled to change in some way, it’s hard. Becoming honest with yourself is an important step to cultivating self-awareness, through the quiet, everyday check-ins where you pause and ask: What do I actually care about? What's draining me? What energizes me? What feels out of alignment? You...

Hi Reader, The topic of self-belief has been showing up everywhere for us lately. We’ve been seeing it surface in conversations with clients, in a recent Friday Reset and even in our own inner dialogue. The more we listen to our clients, our community, and ourselves, the more obvious it becomes: so much of what we’re wrestling with comes back to self-belief. We often think our confidence comes from certainty, experience, or other people’s validation.Real self-belief is built from the inside...

Hi Reader, Hi friends, One year ago today, I released the very first episode of the Life Intended podcast. Honestly, I hit “publish” with more questions than answers. Would anyone listen? Would they like it? Would they feel inspired? And now, a year later with dozens of powerful conversations, thousands of downloads, and an entire community built around the idea of living more intentionally I can say: it was absolutely worth it. This podcast has changed me.It has given me the courage to own...

Hi Reader, The personal growth world can be loud. And crowded. Fix this. Heal that. Optimize everything. Read this. Listen to that. Adopt this routine. Before you know it, you’re knee-deep in a list of all the things you need to change and all the ways you need to “improve.” But here’s the shift no one talks about:You don’t need more improvement. You need more self-leadership. Here’s the difference: Self-Improvement says: “You’re broken. Let’s fix you.”Self-Leadership says: “You’re whole....
