November 29, 2023 16:15 - 1 hour - 125 MBYou asked for help choosing joy now and in the new year, after a hard year or season. Can you relate to any of these? You’re wishing time would go faster to get to something good or past something heavy? Feeling a case of the winter blues? Walking through disappointment? Or feeling energized about making 2024 your best year yet? Today’s 5 Q’s with my teaching on each from my own life currently are for you!

Ep 188: Please help with our baby name?!
November 22, 2023 16:52 - 1 hour - 151 MBThe closer we get to a due date, the more I’m overthinking the name we have picked. Here’s my advice on naming, plus what I’m looking for in case you have ideas? Share this one with anyone working on their baby names. Or to spark some conversation this holiday if you’re done with naming in your family.

Ep 187: We flew with my mom to meet our surrogates’ family in a whirlwind baby tour day!
November 17, 2023 21:46 - 1 hour - 174 MBSadly, much of a surrogacy journey is bracing for disappointment. However the positive side of that, is when things are easy you feel so incredibly lucky. This week Jeremy, myself, and my mom all flew out to meet our surrogate’s family, our doctor, do a hospital tour, and have our 20-week anatomy scan. All in a whirlwind 6 hours! It was hilarious (y’all, our doctor is both an angel and a SNL character), a bit awkward, slightly triggering, and super heartwarming. May i...
Ep 186: How get help to save you when thing are really, really hard
November 08, 2023 05:01 - 1 hour - 142 MBA breakdown of my last 24 hours and the choices I made when there was too much on my plate. Things are a lot right now. Today I’m sharing exactly what I’m preaching, practicing, and sending in voice memos to my girlfriends. We’re talking about: How to avoid triggering people and *being* “that person” when someone’s struggling How to get out of unsolicited advice convos #palmtoface The #1 action to keep yourself and those around you more safe in the storms of life H...
Ep 185: What if my dream doesn’t happen? 2 approaches that lead to burnout
November 01, 2023 15:27 - 1 hour - 148 MBI’m watching friends navigate life from a place of burnout vs healing, and the difference is astounding. Comparison (their grass is greener) keeps us chasing goals harder than we should. Yet, the opposite of envy is even more destructive to our burnout, and far less talked about. Today we’re healing the crippling mindset that keeps us chasing a dream until it nearly kills us. Anxiety and depression are two manifestations of the same burnout root. Whether today you’re...
Ep 184: Have I chosen the wrong dream + signs of burnout
October 25, 2023 17:24 - 1 hour - 159 MBWhat if some of the biggest choices in your life actually came from outside your head, not inside your heart? That’s the hard truth I’ve been grappling with. I’ve been coming up for air a bit after a season of grief (with my book story) that (I see now) was followed by a season of hustle and determination to put life back together again. I’m remembering how it felt in my body to dream many years ago with more hope, less disappointment, and less outside voices. And now...
Ep 183: When things are hard, how to winter well + move towards spring
October 18, 2023 17:20 - 1 hour - 157 MBSo many are struggling lately, both personal friends and members of our community. I had a different episode planned for today when a friend called with hard, hard news and I wanted to share part of what we discussed. Listen in to hear: What to text a friend when you want to help, or need it yourself Two specific steps to make metaphorical winter seasons in our life harder or easier Why these are tools we’ll use repeatedly throughout life My mid-episode aha on the deeper...
Ep 182: How much should my friend risk giving up to fall in love?
October 11, 2023 14:14 - 1 hour - 134 MBWhat advice would you give? Would you want? The last two weeks while in Italy, I was swept away in the best romantic story. A dear friend unexpectedly met someone while traveling internationally far from home and texted, “I might have met my husband.” The wrinkle is that a life with him means a major fork in the road, leaving possibly forever things she’s loved, and for various reasons the decision is going to be made quickly. When you have a major life decision, how...
Ep 181: Second trimester update + magical finds in Tuscany (roadtrip chat with Jeremy)
October 04, 2023 04:01 - 1 hour - 126 MBJoin us on the road from Tuscany to the Italian Riviera via Rome on: My 3 biggest takeaways from the 1st trimester of our pregnancy and surrogacy journey Who we’ve shared the gender of the baby with and why/why not The 2 extra special places we found on our first time in Tuscany (will share links on IG after our trip!) The Italian political perspective on surrogacy that I can’t help but think about while here We get lost, have to change audio sources halfway through, and I don’t allo...
Ep 180: My new simple Q to ask when cranky, insecure, or overwhelmed
September 27, 2023 04:01 - 44 minutes - 91 MBCiao from Rome! When we’re in a bad mood, we know so much we could do to make ourselves feel better. Yet how often do we not do it in the moment when we’re rushing, flooded, frustrated? Recently I’ve found a new self-coaching prompt I’m actually remembering to use. I’ve asked it to myself in those little moments in the day: When you’re trying on clothes that don’t fit When the commute was exhausting When no matter how hard you work you’re still behind When they’re upset ev...
Ep 179: Was your grandma beautiful, the purpose of photos, + breaking generational habits
September 20, 2023 04:01 - 1 hour - 118 MBA girlfriend chat going back to the future, around the world, and ending with more ease. (Don’t miss the PS!) In today’s episode we’re talking about how to live in the flow of love. That sounds hard to pin down, but I’ll tell you exactly what to do and it’s so simple. The people you love most will thank you the deepest for listening. Links in this episode: Friday, September 22 enrollment closes!

Ep 178: How you’re hiding in your life + why it’s harming you
September 13, 2023 04:01 - 1 hour - 118 MBA few months ago I got messages from 2 women in one week who were both hiding, on opposite ends of the same spectrum, each thinking they had the most to be ashamed of. As I sat with their stories I realized: we all think we’re hiding the most, or more than others. When the truth is everyone is either hiding in some way, or has healed from hiding but used to be there so they can relate. Today we’ll explore exactly how we heal, learn to trust, and why it matters so deeply to our he...
Ep 177: The 3rd level of healing in my body peace, 4 signs I saw in myself, + exactly how to get this sense of quiet confidence
September 06, 2023 04:01 - 1 hour - 112 MBI went back to the site of past shame and was so grounded in myself, it was noteworthy. How did I stay more present than self-analytical, despite being in a room of wealthy people I had once felt so much smaller than? This is a different experience of confidence and freedom (of time, money, energy) than I’ve felt before. And I’m sharing exactly what I did to get there! Links in this episode: Sept 13 + 14 join me for a LIVE Keynote Speech with your free VIP ticket at Hilar...
Ep 176: Running into someone from your past + realizing you weren’t the problem
August 30, 2023 15:57 - 55 minutes - 101 MBHow often do you double shame yourself? Part of the shame is warranted: we’re imperfect and insecure. Yet from that place how often do we also take on a double helping of guilt, instead of being able to see that the people or circumstances around us were also flawed and problematic? Sharing a story about a chance meeting that left me with so many insights about myself 20 years ago, and myself today – both how I’ve grown and what the next level of healing is. Links in this ...
Ep 175: Don’t let people throw you off your game - 3 steps to avoiding mom shame, unsolicited business advice, + more
August 23, 2023 04:01 - 59 minutes - 109 MBI had my first experience with mom shame, and I couldn’t believe I caved so quickly! I knew what was and was not a priority for me, but one little sentence… and I took an action purely out of shame and fear. #PalmToFace I was genuinely flabbergasted that I could feel pressured so easily on a decision I’d made very clearly over a year ago. I came home determined to shore up my confidence and identified 3 steps to remaining confident in your decisions when others disagree. ...
Ep 174: From anxious worrier to WILD PEACE, a case study in fertility/pregnancy, career/business, community/love, finances/home
August 16, 2023 14:45 - 1 hour - 167 MBWe got a call from our surrogate that she was spotting, shaken, and headed to the hospital. I’ve been sharing how much I’m confused by the peace I’m feeling around surrogacy and pregnancy. As someone who’s always been prone to anxiety, how the heck am I SO CALM?! I’m thrilled I am! But I literally don’t recognize this feeling of living in my body. I wondered if perhaps I just hadn’t been tested? Maybe the peace will prove less strong if something goes wrong? ...
Ep 173: 7 Steps to Making Big Decisions (whether or not to have kids + we’re moving!)
August 09, 2023 04:01 - 1 hour - 114 MBFor years I’ve been endlessly making big decisions. Did we want to have kids or not? Were we supposed to leave NYC, and if so to go where? These decisions were the two longest and hardest I’ve ever had to make, but I’m so grateful for this process that eventually lead me to peace. As I wrestled with these decisions over the years, I took notes for you. Listen in for the 7 steps that helped me make these big choices in a way that left me with confidence when it came t...
Ep 172: The #1 insensitive Q to please stop asking pregnant people
August 01, 2023 22:44 - 1 hour - 115 MBI’ve had 5 years of being asked this question. #PalmToFace It’s one I asked others over the years! It seemed innocuous and I didn’t realize how triggering, personal, or just awkward it can be. This question is asked whether someone is pregnant, using IVF or conceiving naturally, or even had children years ago. Please note this isn’t to shame any of us who have asked (or answered!) over the years. We did the best we could with what we knew then. Now we know bette...
Ep 171: Our Surrogacy Story (part 2)
July 26, 2023 21:36 - 1 hour - 198 MBHow did surrogacy get on our hearts? What are the misconceptions about surrogates? Bigger picture, how do you make big decisions (especially when you have no one to ask) and look for clues in the seeds God/the universe has planted around your life? We’re covering all of that plus the 4 reasons to NOT do surrogacy, why we turned down our 1st two matches, and more.

Ep 170: Our Fertility Journey (part 1)
July 19, 2023 19:14 - 1 hour - 172 MBICYMI my recent announcement on Instagram, we’ve been on a fertility journey for the last 6 years. From my first appointment about egg freezing when single, through multiple rounds of (failed) embryo freezing, to moving forward with a surrogate (gestational carrier), and our first embryo transfer last week! Today I’m answering Q’s you submitted about the process, thoughts, feelings, and decisions along the way. Links mentioned in this episode: Instagram account for my doctor + fri...
Ep 169: When you’re not as far as you’d hoped this time last year
July 12, 2023 05:56 - 28 minutes - 51.7 MBWhat if you’ve worked so hard the last year, only to feel so far from where you hoped you’d be? You’re still in debt, or the business still isn’t working; still waiting on the adoption or walking through infertility; still haven’t met your person, or aren’t over the relationship you lost. Or in my case, I’m not as healed, as undefined from grief a year ago as I thought just a few months ago I might feel passing the anniversary. If you feel far from your peak, you’re not alo...
EP 168: Burned out + asking how can this be easier
July 05, 2023 04:01 - 50 minutes - 92.5 MBI’m struggling today. You? I had another episode planned. Yet for reasons I’ll explain, it was feeling heavy. And I’m burned out. So I asked myself: What would feel easier today? I hope my enough will be enough for you today, and that you’ll give yourself the same grace. ❤️ Your weariness is welcome here, in an honest chat about how to continue when you’re using all your tools and still feel far from really good. Would love to hear from you on Instagram @...
Ep 167: What’s your beauty healing score?
June 28, 2023 13:53 - 38 minutes - 71.4 MBWhen you say you feel “good” in an area, it’s compared to how you used to feel. You feel better. But if this is the best you’ve felt, can you really know it’s good? What if how you feel today is only 40% of what’s possible? You don’t even know what great feels like! Ten-ish years ago I was feeling so much better in my body and beauty. But something in me knew there was more–more peace, more ease, more acceptance, more confidence. In today’s personal episode I’m sharing small...
Ep 166: How to feel beautiful *without* loving your body + stop excluding other women
June 21, 2023 04:01 - 1 hour - 135 MBI want to introduce you to a new aspiration, belief system, way of living: Beauty Positive. My goal is not Body Positive, because you don’t need to feel positive about your body to live this way. Importantly, other people don’t need to feel positive about their body to join you here.

Ep 165: My 3-Part mantra + method to like your body more today
June 14, 2023 17:58 - 44 minutes - 81.3 MBThere’s no affirmation I use more in my life. And this one actually isn’t even about your body. Yet it leaves you feeling better, kinder, more hopeful. And, better about your body. Then inspires you to take the next step to healing. If every woman used this, we could change our culture. Let’s start with us.

Ep 164: Real talk, how much would I spend to look younger + why filters are not the problem
June 07, 2023 04:01 - 55 minutes - 103 MBYou sent so many messages when I started this convo on Stories a few months ago. Then I had an appointment I wanted to tell you about (yegads) and the two came full circle. What we get riled up about on social media distracts us from what we should really care about. From false advertising ignoring the biggest factors making women look younger and pretending it’s something else. Then we spend the money we do have unwisely, and are disappointed with the results. I want to he...
Ep 163: Attractive angry women
May 31, 2023 04:01 - 51 minutes - 94 MBWhen does our rage feel compelling, not repelling? After Part 3 of the podcast series went live II received messages like this: “Hearing this unlocked something in me…” “You awoke an anger inside of me I’ve been swallowing, and made it feel okay to let it out…” “This was a holy rage and it was exciting, inviting even, to witness, thank you…” I had been nervous to release that episode, but it turns out the lack of filter was deeply needed. Today we’ll break down 6 elements to...

Ep 161: My Story 3 of 3: It gets worse
May 17, 2023 22:10 - 1 hour - 177 MBI want to say it gets better. In life I’ve really found that to be true. In romantic relationships, homes, friends, employees. But sometimes it gets worse first. How do you know when it’s time to walk away from a dream? From everything you’ve invested, with nothing–less than nothing, far far less than what you started with? You know it when it happens. The final straw. HEADS UP: This is a very raw, salty, cursing, no holding back episode. Links mentioned in this episode: ...
Ep 160: My Story 2 of 3: Ignoring red flags to chase a dream
May 10, 2023 04:01 - 1 hour - 147 MBIn 2011 I started a business as a stylist. I’d moved to New York City for my career in theater after a Broadway tour, Radio City Rockettes, and all that jazz. [The below timeline is not covered in the episode and included here for backstory.] In 2014 a friend who worked at a top publisher told me that my style course, “had to be a book.” She’d told everyone in her office my principles and they were using them daily–women needed this. I told her that sounded like a lot of work for...
Ep 159: My Story 1 of 3: Silent vs silenced
May 03, 2023 16:16 - 44 minutes - 81 MBFor a year I’ve been asked, “What happened to you? What exactly are you grieving about?” Each time I would reply, “Unfortunately I’m not legally allowed to share right now, but hope to be able to soon.” Now I’m able to, and as I’ve known I would be all along, I feel terrified. So we’re starting with that: The difference between being silent and silenced The holiness of this season I’m sad to see come to an end even though I never would have chosen it The trauma respon...

Recorded from a car outside the hospital visiting my brother-in-law, we’ll talk not only big picture gratitude and presence, but practically how we make our lives easier when we build the habit of small mental shifts.

Ep 157: How to Wait Well
April 19, 2023 04:01 - 58 minutes - 108 MBWhen you’re waiting for news, for an answer, for closure… how are you patient, how do you get through the day, what do you occupy your mind with?

Ep 156: Sympathy vs empathy vs empaths + how to avoid pity
April 12, 2023 04:01 - 1 hour - 146 MBFour weeks ago I’d have told you I’m deeply empathetic. I still am! But I’ve been humbled as to how much I can declare that in scenarios in which I truly have never walked a similar path. It’s rare we have “overnight change” moments. When they happen we get a clear vision of a before and after of ourselves. Today we’ll chat about: The difference between sympathy, empathy, and being an empath. Why pity feels gross and how we shift to a much better feeling. (Whether th...

April 05, 2023 04:01 - 1 hour - 132 MBIf you love someone who’s walked through illness + injury, this “pour a cup” or “let’s go on a walk” chat is for you. My 26-year-old brother-in-law (outdoorsy, active, military veteran) was in an accident 2.5 weeks ago, fracturing his C5 vertebrae and paralyzing him from the neck down. He’s been given a 1-2% chance of getting out of a wheelchair, and our family is rocked, devastated, fighting, believing, and learning a whole new world. When I shared the news on Instagram Monday comm...
Ep154: Why I’m ending my most profitable product + how to know when “it’s time” to make a change
March 29, 2023 04:01 - 1 hour - 130 MBWhether ending a relationship, letting go of a home or a side gig, it can be so challenging to know when a long story has run its course. And it matters BIG TIME! When we’re leaking energy on the wrong thing, we can be missing out on passion and purpose meant for us, in our career or simply in how we live our daily life. In this episode I guide us back to how we got here, and how we get out with lots of grace, empowerment, and hope. This is an important episode for any entr...

Ep 152: Zero Guilty Pleasures + Feeling Lighter
March 15, 2023 04:01 - 1 hour - 47.6 MBA light girlfriend chat after a hard week. Anyone else just need to feel lighter? We talk about Prince Harry, Pamela Anderson, habit stacking, winter blues, maman guilt (pet or human) – a grab bag of topics. All tying in to less guilt in our actions or inactions (except when it’s warranted as I’ve been personally convicted of lately) and overall how to stop making things heavier for ourselves or others as we choose more lightness.

Ep 150: The 5 reasons you’re behind
March 01, 2023 16:44 - 47 minutes - 32.8 MBWhat’s stealing your time? I asked myself that question while using my Elegant Excellence Journal one morning. When we’re behind most of us tend to go to one main reason. Perhaps that’s beating yourself up, or blaming others. Perhaps it’s a sense of failure that makes you procrastinate, or a believe you can solve it through perfection that amps you up into overdrive. What I realized is there are actually 5 different scenarios it could be. By opening up those possibilities, now I opened u...

February 15, 2023 05:00 - 55 minutes - 38.3 MBWhile in a hard season right now there’s 2 phrases I keep coming back to. One question, and one statement. They’re my mantras, my guides, and goodness are they blessing me. If you’re going through something hard right now it can feel complicated to find words of wisdom that really ring true. Don’t feel trite, don’t fall apart upon further scrutiny and application. Yes. And… sometimes it’s the simplest phrases that hold the most impact because we truly remember them. Listen in to see ...
Ep 147: How to speak up for yourself: agreeable vs demanding women + finding our center
February 08, 2023 05:00 - 37 minutes - 26 MBI’m embarrassed to admit this even happened. Yet a recent appointment made it crystal clear: I am a people pleaser in an unexpected way, with unintended consequences for people I care about (not to mention myself!) Furthermore, I experienced in real time when it’s worth it to be uncomfortable for a moment, to save yourself hours of discomfort if you stay silent.
