Let the Real You Step Forward
Sometimes we take life a little too seriously. In this minisode, I invite you to play, to explore, and to try something new.

It is amazing how quickly our energy can shift when we give ourselves permission to be curious, bold, and a little silly. As I looked at myself in the mirror, I started to think about the ways we all present o...

Arwen Becker on the 29029 Challenge and How Women Can Handle It All
I met Arwen Becker by accident in the Aspen airport. Her red hat caught my eye with a mysterious number, 29029, the height of Mount Everest in feet. That number captures something I believe deeply: we are capable of more than we think when we show up for the adventure that is seeking us right now. Arwen is a six-time finisher of the 29029 x Aspen endurance challenge, where participants hike a mountain repeatedly for 36 hours to reach the vertical height of Everest.

You Are Ready When You Say You Are
This minisode is straight from my heart and from one of the clearest downloads I ever received in my recovery journey: You are ready when you say you are. I had spent so much of my life waiting. Waiting for the right time. Waiting for permission. Waiting until I felt perfect or prepared enough. But the truth is, readiness doesn’t come from the outside. It is an inside job. And when you decide, things start to shift. In this episode, I share how this mantra carried me through moments of doubt,...

Barron Peper on Finding Your Voice, Belonging, and True Aliveness
What really makes you come alive? Is it the house you live in, the title on your resume, or the milestones you have worked so hard to reach?

In this episode, I sit down with fellow TEDx Spokane speaker, Barron Peper. Barron is an architect, singer, and movement artist who designs spaces that bring us back to what matters most: connection, belonging,...
