Let’s talk about what accountability actually looks like when you’re in love not the social media version, the real-life version. In this episode, I answer listener questions about how to hold yourself (and your partner) accountable when emotions run high, when old habits resurface, and when you’re both trying to grow without losing each other in the process. Honest, and real relationship talk.
This week I am getting into emotional accountability and what it truly means to take ownership of your responses. It is not about blame, it is about growth and peace. I share how loss, healing, and self-reflection taught me the power of choosing calm over chaos. Emotional accountability is hard work, but it is the kind that sets you free.
This week, I’m talking extreme accountability, what it really means to take full responsibility for my life, my healing, and my choices. I’m sharing personal stories, real listener questions, and some serious tough love about mindset, motivation, and cutting off toxic people.
It’s raw, honest, and all about realizing that I’m my problem, and I’m also my solution.
This episode is all about paying attention to people and what their actions can teach you. The way someone reacts, communicates, or avoids responsibility can show you a lot about who they are and who you want to be. It’s about noticing, reflecting, and learning how your own responses reveal where you are in your healing. I also talk about the power of how you speak to yourself and how small shifts in your words can change the way you see you.
In this episode, we’re getting real about what happens when you start loving yourself completely… and realize it kind of ruins your old life. We talk about those “foggy glass” moments when you finally see what you’ve been allowing, the people you’ve tolerated, and the patterns you’ve outgrown. It’s messy, it’s funny, and yes it can feel overwhelming at first. We get into how to set boundaries without guilt, navigate shifting relationships, handle lingering grief, and reclaim your peace. Plus, I answer listener questions about growth, parenting, relationships, and moving forward without holding yourself back. This episode is all about clarity, self-compassion, and loving yourself enough to live the life you deserve.
Today’s episode is all about your questions. Some are lighthearted and funny, others dig deeper into self love, relationships, and what it really means to feel different. We’re covering it all with honesty, a little humor, and plenty of real talk. Think of it as sitting down for coffee together and having the conversations we all secretly want to have.
This week on Loving Yourself Completely we’re talking about core values and how they shape who we are and the connections we keep. When the world feels heavy and people close to us show values that don’t align with ours, it can feel confusing and painful. In this episode I share how to recognize the difference between simple disagreements and deeper value clashes, why some bonds break, and why letting go can be an act of self-respect. I also answer listener questions on family, boundaries, compassion, and releasing guilt when bonds shift.
Last week on Loving Yourself Completely, we opened the door to what makes a relationship truly work and the response was overwhelming. You sent in so many thoughtful, vulnerable, and unique questions that I had to bring you a Part Two.
In this episode, I’m answering 10 more listener questions about marriage and long-term love. We’ll talk about keeping conversation alive after years together, staying connected through busy seasons, handling differences in personality, supporting each other’s dreams, and what it really means to keep choosing your partner every single day. If you’ve ever wondered how to keep love exciting, stable, and real, this episode is for you.
This week on Loving Yourself Completely, I’m pulling back the curtain on my own marriage. Instead of reading listener emails, I’m answering the questions people have personally asked me about my relationship, my husband, and how we’ve built the kind of love I’m so proud of. From the playful and spicy to the deep and honest, I’m sharing the truths behind a healthy, communicative, passionate marriage and why I believe your spouse should be your everything. Whether you’re married, in a relationship, or waiting for the right one, I hope this episode reminds you that love doesn’t have to feel heavy, it can be safe, exciting, and something you’re proud to speak about every single day.
This week we’re slowing down and looking at how the small choices we make every day shape the bigger picture of our lives. From the tiny habits that actually last, to finding ways to unplug without cutting ourselves off, to letting go of the pressure of hustle culture. This conversation is about building a life that feels like it truly belongs to you. I’ll also answer listener questions on relationships, connection, and meeting each other where we’re at.
I’m so happy to be back. Welcome back to Loving Yourself Completely. In this episode, I share what I’ve been up to over the summer, the lessons I’ve learned about meeting yourself and others where you’re at, and how growth often happens quietly while we’re in the middle of healing. I read your stories and questions and talk through the real, sometimes messy moments that make us human. And yes, I say “the sun will rise” when I mean “the sun will come out”—I’ve messed that up more times than I can count, and I apologize.
In the final episode before summer break, we’re reflecting on everything this season has taught us—about healing, boundaries, relationships, anxiety, and releasing the pressure to always be “working on ourselves.”
We’re talking about living outside of healing mode, letting joy in without guilt, and allowing rest to be just as sacred as growth. I’m also answering five listener questions that dig into identity, burnout, self-worth, and what real progress actually looks like.

If you’ve been deep in your healing era and suddenly find yourself craving a little peace, a little play, a little normalcy—this episode is for you. We’re talking about what happens when healing is no longer your full-time job, when you stop needing to fix everything, and when it’s finally time to just be.
This episode is a reminder that while growth is beautiful, it’s not your identity. You get to rest. You get to enjoy. You get to live.
We also answer listener questions.
Healing is part of your story—but it’s not the whole thing.
Welcome back to part 2 of our Q&A episode. You sent in your questions—about relationships, boundaries, healing, parenting, growing into the person you’re becoming—and I’m answering with as much honesty, love, and real talk as I can.
With just three episodes left before we head into summer break, I wanted to slow down, take my time with these questions, and really give them the space they deserve.
Let’s talk about the messy, beautiful, complicated parts of growth—the in-between moments, the setbacks, the shifts in perspective, and the ways we keep showing up for ourselves, even when it’s hard.
Let’s get into it.
Welcome to our Q&A episode. We’re going into the final countdown before summer break, and I wanted to take some time to answer your questions.
Let’s get into it—real situations, real growth, and everything in between.
Everyone wants to be great—until they realize what greatness actually costs. In this episode of Loving Yourself Completely, we’re talking about what it really means to want more from your life, your mind, and your relationships. From healing your anxiety and depression to managing judgment and resistance as you grow, we explore the uncomfortable truth: you can’t evolve and stay hidden.
You’ll hear about the quiet power that comes from facing your mental health head-on, the fear that rises when you step into a version of yourself you’ve never met, and why feeling “off” at first doesn’t mean you’re faking it. It just means you're changing.
Plus, I’m answering three questions from last week’s episode on The Power of Privacy—how to protect your peace, communicate boundaries, and stop oversharing when anxious.
This episode is a reminder: If you want to be great, you have to be ready to be seen, misunderstood, and even judged. That’s the price of growth—and it’s worth it.

Just because you’re visible doesn’t mean you owe anyone your vulnerability. In this episode, I’m opening up about how I used to overshare, defend myself, and explain my growth to people who were never really listening. I share what privacy has taught me — how it’s become a form of self-respect, protection, and peace. We talk about how the loudest people often have the most to hide, why character speaks louder than explanations, and how healing doesn’t need an audience. Plus, I answer three listener questions on moving through fear, learning when to share, and giving yourself permission to grow quietly.

After a peaceful spring break, we’re jumping back in with a real conversation about what happens when fear and anxiety start to take over. In this episode, I’m sharing ways to bring yourself back to reality when your thoughts spiral, how to show up for yourself even when you don’t feel like your best self, and why the hardest moments in your story often shape the strongest parts of you. We’ll also talk about what it means to truly check in with the people around us — no more surface-level “I’m fine.” Plus, I’m answering listener questions about anxiety, emotional denial, and the guilt we carry after being hurt. Let’s get real, get grounded, and keep moving forward — even in the messy middle.
Why do some people refuse to acknowledge their actions? Why is it so hard for some to simply say, "I’m sorry you went through that" instead of denying or dismissing your feelings? In this episode, we’ll get into the psychology behind denial—why people rewrite history, make excuses, and struggle to own up to their behavior.
We’ll also connect this to last week’s episode on tuning out the noise. How do you move forward when someone refuses to validate your experience? How do you stop seeking accountability from people who will never give it? And most importantly, how do you protect your peace when the people around you—whether family, in-laws, or even a partner—insist on rewriting the truth?
Plus, I’ll answer three listener questions, including:
* How to handle in-laws who constantly criticize your parenting.
* How to balance communication in a relationship when you feel unheard.
* How to stop invalidating your own emotions and trust yourself instead.
If you’ve ever been made to question your own reality, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about it.
How much of your life is shaped by what other people think? In this episode of Loving Yourself Completely, we’re talking about the mental noise—the fear of judgment, the pressure to be liked, and the way external opinions can keep us stuck. Why do we crave approval so badly? How do we start trusting ourselves instead? And what happens when we finally let go of the need for validation?
I’ll also be answering three listener questions from last week’s episode on comparing mental health to financial health—how to set emotional ‘budgets,’ avoid burnout, and stop spending energy on things that don’t matter. If you’ve ever struggled with tuning out negativity and focusing on your own happiness, this episode is for you.
