We say we want growth. We say we want healing. But when it comes to taking full ownership of our choices, our reactions, and the messes we’ve made, that’s often where we quietly pull back. Self-accountability isn’t sexy. It’s not the part of healing that gets celebrated. But it’s one of the clearest turning points in any transformation. It’s the moment we stop waiting for someone else to change and start looking at what’s actually in our control, not from a place of shame, but from a place of...

You Don’t Have to Save Everyone
Have you ever felt responsible for protecting others from their own pain? I’ve been there too, more times than I can count. In this episode, I’m unpacking a pattern that so many of us fall into: the need to rescue, to overgive, to soften the truth so no one else has to hurt. I’m breaking down how this habit is often a nervous system response, rooted in fear, and how it shows up in ways we don’t always see at first. I’ll show you how to recognize your own warning signs and what it looks like t...

Avoiding It Isn’t Working Anymore
What if the very thing you've been doing to feel safe is the reason you still feel stuck? In this episode, I’m breaking down how avoidance quietly wires your nervous system to expect fear, not freedom. I’m walking through the moments we cancel, tiptoe, shut down, or stay silent, not because we want to, but because it feels safer than the alternative. And I’ll show you how to begin shifting that pattern, gently and powerfully, one micro-moment at a time. In This Episode, I Cover: How avoidance...

When You Carry What Isn’t Yours
Have you ever walked away from a conversation feeling responsible for someone else's mood? Like it's your job to fix their disappointment, even when you did nothing wrong? I’ve been there too. In this episode, I’m unpacking the emotional weight we carry when we confuse empathy with responsibility, and how that pattern quietly disconnects us from ourselves. I’ll walk you through how this shows up in everyday life, what it’s actually rooted in, and what healing can look like when you stop carry...

Stress Behaviors Are Not Your Personality
If you've ever thought, this is just who I am, this episode might shift everything. I'm breaking down what stress behaviors really are, like shutting down, overexplaining, people pleasing, or blaming, and how they're not personality traits. They're defense mechanisms your nervous system learned to survive. I’ll show you how these unconscious patterns get in the way of healing and connection, and how to start seeing them clearly so you can choose something different. This is the work that chan...

What If the Perfect Time Never Comes?
BRAVE-cation Priority List + FREE MEDITATION: www.brave-method.com/priority-list What if readiness isn’t a feeling, but a decision?

I share the story of a single decision that changed everything for me, not because I felt ready, but because I finally listened to the quiet voice that said, “I can’t keep living like this.” You’re not broken. ...

It Isn't Selfish to Want More for Yourself

Coping Isn’t Healing and That’s Why You Still Feel Stuck
You can know all the tools. You can breathe, journal, ground, and still find yourself unraveling at night. I know that pattern, because I lived it, and I see it in so many of the women I work with. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on why symptom management isn’t the same as deep healing. If you’ve been collecting tools but still feel stuck, this might be the truth you didn’t know you needed. In This Episode, I Cover: The difference between coping and true healingWhy mindset trick...

Hidden Ways Anxiety Shapes Your Decisions
Anxiety doesn’t just live in your thoughts, it quietly shapes so many of the choices you make. From the things you say “yes” to when you really want to say “no,” to the opportunities you avoid even when your heart wants them, fear can take the wheel without you even realizing it. In this episode, I’m uncovering the subtle ways anxiety influences decisions and how I’m learning to pause, listen to my gut, and choose from a place of trust instead of fear.

You Can Care Without Carrying It All
For so long, I thought being needed made me valuable. I thought solving problems meant I was strong. But all it really did was disconnect me from myself.

I’ll walk you through the shift from pressure to clarity, from self-criticism to compassion, and how to tell the difference between what actually needs your energy and what can be gently set down.

You Don’t Have to Believe Every Thought You Think
Some thoughts feel so real they seem like facts. But what if they’re just old patterns, fear echoes, or habits your nervous system hasn’t let go of yet? In this episode, I’m breaking down what it really means to witness your thoughts instead of being ruled by them. I’m sharing why anxiety thrives in unchecked thought spirals and how learning to pause, notice, and respond with calm authority can change everything. You don’t have to argue with every thought.

Are You Choosing to Feel Anxious?
What if the anxiety, the spiraling, the constant overwhelm isn’t just happening to you? What if it’s tied to what you’ve been avoiding? If you've done the learning, read the books, and saved the posts, but still feel stuck, this is for you. In this episode, I’m breaking down the quiet ways we choose avoidance over action, and how that avoidance becomes a slow form of self-abandonment. This isn’t about shame, it’s about telling the truth. Because knowing isn’t healing. And the life you want is...
