There comes a moment when your body whispers the truth before your mind is ready to hear it. Today, I’m sitting down with someone who knows exactly what that feels like — and has turned that moment into a mission.
I’m joined by the incredible Emma Gaskin, a speech therapist turned public speaking coach who empowers women to speak their truth and get paid to do it. Her journey is a powerful reminder that our voice is more than words — it’s identity, alignment, and our pathway to impact.
Emma opens up about walking away from a decade-long relationship just months before the wedding… and discovering her true voice in the silence that followed. She shares how her Speak Up Method blends science, soul, and strategy to help women stop shrinking, own their impact, and speak with power that people feel.
We get into the neuroscience of storytelling, the social conditioning that teaches women to stay small, and the difference between speaking from a wound vs. speaking from the wisdom it gave you. You’ll also hear simple everyday ways to practice using your voice
If you’re ready to stop swallowing your truth and start standing in it, this conversation is your permission slip.

I used to believe my happiness depended on my husband changing—but I’ve learned that the real work is within. In this episode, I share how trying to fix him left me feeling unsafe, reactive, and disconnected, and how I realized my reactivity wasn’t about him at all.
I walk you through the shifts that transformed my marriage and deepened emotional intimacy: reclaiming your voice, meeting your inner little girl with love and compassion, regulating your nervous system, and releasing stuck emotions. These practices create space for real connection, understanding, and love—not just in your marriage, but in every relationship in your life.
By doing your own inner work, you’ll discover how changing your perspective and healing your past wounds transforms your relationships and allows love and trust to flourish naturally.

Feeling disconnected in your marriage doesn’t mean love is gone. Often, it’s old patterns, unspoken stories, and unmet expectations quietly running beneath the surface. I share my own journey of feeling alone in a marriage I deeply loved and how I learned to recognize what was really happening.
If you’ve ever wondered why connection fades, this conversation will help you see the unseen patterns and offer insight into how to reconnect—with your partner and yourself.

Silence in a marriage can feel like the safest choice. The silent treatment is a shield we use to protect ourselves. When old childhood wounds or emotional triggers surface, it can become a natural response to withdraw.
I share my personal journey of understanding the silence in my own marriage. What I discovered is that it wasn’t about shutting my partner out—it was a cry to feel seen, held, and safe. Recognizing these hidden emotions allowed me to create deeper connection, intimacy, and emotional safety in my relationship.
Silence can also deepen emotional disconnection and fuel resentment if left unchecked. We’ll explore how to respond differently: stay present, communicate your truth, and process emotions without withdrawing.
If you’ve ever gone quiet to protect your heart or avoid conflict, this episode will help you uncover what that silence is really saying—and transform it into understanding, closeness, and conscious communication.

Marriage can be the most beautiful mirror for our own healing. For years, I tried to change my husband, only to realize the real work started within me. In this episode, I open up about the five powerful shifts that changed everything in my marriage—five ways I learned to love my husband better by first learning to love myself.
These shifts came through deep inner work: releasing resentment that had quietly built up over decades, rewriting the stories I’d been telling myself about who my husband was, taking responsibility for my own needs, and learning to see him through a lens of gratitude instead of lack. The most life-changing part? Reconnecting with myself—my body, my feminine energy, and the woman I’d lost along the way. When I stopped trying to change him and chose to look inward instead, our entire relationship transformed.
You’ll hear honest, heartfelt reflections (like how resentment really just “poisons from the inside out”) and the mindset changes that brought more intimacy, play, and peace into a 33-year marriage. These are the kinds of lessons that don’t just change a relationship—they change your life.

Have you ever held onto a hurt that felt completely justified—the moments someone let you down, dismissed your feelings, or didn’t meet your expectations? I know that weight all too well. For years, I carried what felt like justified anger. It felt protective, but in reality it kept me stuck in resentment, bitterness, and disconnected from the peace and freedom I longed for.
This episode is about more than just relationships—it’s about personal transformation. Holding onto anger and old hurts doesn’t just affect others; it quietly shapes your peace, your self-awareness, and your emotional freedom. I share how my own journey of self-healing revealed the deeper wounds behind resentment, why letting go is so powerful, and how choosing empowerment over blame opens the door to greater connection—with yourself and the people in your life.
If you’ve ever felt weighed down by anger, resentment, or old wounds, you’re not alone. There is a path to emotional freedom, wholeness, and conscious connection—and it all begins with the choice to let go.

Marriage has a way of reflecting our deepest wounds, often without us even realizing it. If you’ve ever thought, “Where did the person I married go?”—you’re not alone. I once asked myself the same question, only to realize the real shift had to begin within me. I had to look at my own patterns, my old stories, and the ways I was unconsciously showing up before I could see him—and our marriage—clearly.
In this episode, I open up about how unconscious patterns and old stories can cloud the way we see our partner, build resentment, and block intimacy. You’ll hear how I began to heal my own ‘side of the street’, what it means to create a conscious marriage, and why unconditional love starts with the way we love ourselves.
The spark you’re missing isn’t gone—it’s simply buried under unhealed stories, waiting for you to see with new eyes.

Hiding pieces of ourselves feels safe—until it keeps us stuck. Today, I invite you to explore the unseen cost of hiding who you truly are. From the roles we play to the stories we believe about ourselves, many of us unconsciously trade authenticity for approval. But when we uncover these patterns, we can finally step into freedom, joy, and our limitless potential.
I share personal stories from my life, including the years I lost myself trying to be the “good wife,” and dive into how fear silently shapes our choices in relationships, career, and money. You’ll learn why the subconscious mind—not circumstances—creates your reality, and how changing the story you believe about yourself can change everything.
If you’re ready to stop hiding and start living more fully, lean in, listen closely, and allow yourself to notice what’s been keeping you small. There’s freedom waiting on the other side.

Some conversations feel like soul connections, and that’s exactly how I felt sitting down with Dr. Erica Kreismann. Her journey from emergency medicine in New York—beginning just months before 9/11—to packing up her family and moving across the world to Tasmania is nothing short of remarkable. Through it all, what stands out most is her adventurous spirit, her heart for service, and her deep belief in the power of presence.
In our conversation, Erica shares how burnout pushed her to reimagine life, what Tasmania taught her about slowing down, and why connection—whether with patients, colleagues, or loved ones—is the true heartbeat of healing. We talk about embracing fear as part of growth, letting go of judgment to make space for curiosity, and the life-changing shift that comes when you finally choose to fill your own cup first.
A few gems you’ll hear along the way:
Erica’s story is a powerful reminder that life is an adventure meant to be lived fully, even when it feels uncertain.

We all carry quiet stories about who we are and what’s possible for us—and in this two-part series, I’m unpacking the ten most common “I am not” beliefs I see holding people back. Last week, we looked at the first five, and today I’m bringing you the next five that show up in so many lives, marriages, and businesses.
In this episode, you’ll hear how beliefs like “I’m not capable,” “I’m not seen,” “I’m not free,” “I’m not allowed,” and “I’m not lovable if I fail” can subtly shape the way you show up in the world.
I’ll share real-life stories (including moments from my own journey) and give you simple but powerful reframes to shift each one. Because when you recognize that capability grows with action, that freedom begins in the mind, and that failure is actually courage—it changes everything.
If this message speaks to you, make sure you’re subscribed so you never miss an episode. And if you know a friend who could use a reminder that their limiting beliefs aren’t the truth of who they are, share this conversation with them. We rise higher together.

We all carry subtle beliefs that shape how we see ourselves—thoughts like “I’m not enough,” “I’m not worthy,” or “I’m not lovable.” These limiting beliefs often start in childhood or are passed down through generations, quietly influencing our mindset, relationships, and sense of self-worth.
In this episode, I dive into the first half of the most common “I am not” stories and share ways to start noticing them in your life. You’ll hear examples from my own journey, see how these subconscious patterns show up daily, and learn simple reframes that help you feel more confident, safe, and worthy of love.
Here’s a peek at what you’ll uncover:

Do you ever feel like no matter how hard you work, you just can’t seem to break through to the next level? You’re doing all the things—working on your mindset, setting goals, pushing yourself—but something still feels stuck.
In this episode, I share the three hidden forces that keep so many of us from moving forward, even when we’re putting in the effort. We’ll talk about why affirmations and mindset shifts often fall flat, what’s really happening in your nervous system and subconscious, and how to shift your energetic frequency so you can finally experience the change you’ve been working toward.

This is Abundance 101—and my hope is that you walk away remembering: you already are abundant.

Burnout can hit hard, sometimes showing up as panic attacks, anxiety, and complete overwhelm — even when, from the outside, everything seems “perfect.”
In this episode, burnout psychologist and coach Kim Metzen shares her personal journey from high-achieving corporate life to feeling completely disconnected from herself — and how she rebuilt a life aligned with her health, energy, and purpose.
We explore:
Kim’s story is a reminder that even the most “successful” lives can become unaligned — and that transformation is possible when you listen to your body and take courageous action.

In this first episode of Unlocking the Keys to a Better Marriage, I’m giving you access to my recent workshop in a 3 part series. Because trust me, I’ve been where you might be now. I know what it feels like to wake up next to someone you love… and still feel disconnected, exhausted, and alone. But that wasn’t the end of my story. And it doesn’t have to be the end of yours, either.
I’m opening up about the shifts that helped me move from feeling like roommates to rebuilding the emotional safety, connection, and yes—passion—I thought we’d lost. And why so many of us stay stuck, even when we’re trying everything we know to fix it.
If you’ve ever felt unseen, unheard, or like you’re carrying the weight of your marriage on your own… Press play.
Let’s begin this journey together.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by the incredibly brave and beautiful soul, Erica Rankin. From the outside, Erica had built what many would call success — a business she launched into hundreds of stores, a growing personal brand, and all the achievements we’re taught to chase.
But what she shares with us today is the truth behind that success: the patterns, pain, and stories that kept her running — and the moment she realized none of it was ever going to make her feel “enough.”
Erica opens up about the parts of her journey that most people would keep hidden — her time in sex work, the spiral of seeking worth through her body, business, relationships, and performance. More than anything, this is a conversation about courage. You’ll hear how she learned to stop abandoning herself and start writing a new story — one that aligns with the woman she was always meant to be.
I hope this conversation serves you. If it does, I’d be honored if you shared it with someone who needs it. Your healing is powerful. And your story — just like Erica’s — matters more than you know.

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “If they would just change, I could finally feel peace”? I’ve been there—and I know how exhausting that cycle can be.
For years, I thought if my partner showed up differently, everything would get better. But what I’ve learned, both in my own life and in the lives of the women I work with, is this: peace doesn’t come from fixing someone else. It comes from healing what’s being stirred within you.
In this episode, I’m walking you through three powerful shifts that helped me break free from that pattern—and that I believe can shift everything for you too. These are the exact mindset and energy shifts that lead to more peace, more clarity, and more personal freedom, regardless of whether or not anyone else changes.
I’ll share how your triggers are actually sacred invitations, why trying to control others is a form of avoidance (not awakening), and how to start leading with your energy instead of your agenda.
If you’re ready to stop spiraling in frustration and start feeling grounded and powerful again, this conversation is for you.
