There was a time in my life when control was my safety net. If I could plan it, predict it, or manage it, then I believed I could protect myself and the people I loved. Faith felt intangible something I couldn’t measure or touch. But over time, life kept nudging me toward something deeper. Intuition. Knowing. God. Energy. Whatever name you give it, it’s that quiet whisper that says trust me when every part of you wants to grip tighter. For me, intuition wasn’t born in a single lightning bolt ...

The Power of Intuitive Faith: Speaking Your Future Into Being

There was a time in my life when control was my safety net. If I could plan it, predict it, or manage it, then I believed I could protect myself and the people I loved.

Dharma, Midlife, and the Second Adolescence We Don’t Talk About with Katie Farinas

Some moments on the podcast feel less like an interview and more like a remembering—and my conversation with Katie Farinas was exactly that. Katie is a yoga teacher, podcast host, and Dharma coach who helps midlife women come home to who they’ve always been. We unpacked Dharma not as a single “magic pill” purpose, but as a through-line: Dharma = your essence + the expression of your essence. The essence never leaves; life just layers over it. As Katie said, our job isn’t to find purpose so mu...

The Noise vs. The Voice: When Stillness Becomes Strategy

The world is loud so loud that sometimes it feels like we’re living in a constant hum of urgency. “Hurry up.” “Do more.” “Don’t fall behind.” It shows up everywhere our businesses, our homes, our volunteer roles, even our dreams. For a long time, I thought that was what ambition sounded like. But what I’ve learned is that the noise is what keeps us from the knowing. It’s what keeps us from hearing our own voice, our own alignment, and the quiet whispers from God. Because God doesn’t shout. He...

Building a Life You’re Excited to Wake Up For with Nancy Moore

Some of the most life-changing people show up when we step into new rooms. That’s how I met Nancy Moore an entrepreneur, podcaster, and community builder helping women design businesses and lives rooted in passion and purpose. Nancy’s story is a beautiful mirror for so many of us: she chose “secure” first (accounting at E&Y), discovered it didn’t light her up, and let an unexpected layoff become an invitation. From staffing and coaching talent to 24 years of teaching, to launching t...

Learning to Hum Through the Unknown and Releasing the Story of Not Enough

This past week reminded me that courage doesn’t always roar it sometimes sits in an airport crying, whispering, “I don’t understand, but I’ll keep going.” Missing my flight felt like failure in motion. I had everything planned flights booked, conferences lined up, meaningful interviews scheduled and then, in one unexpected moment, it all fell apart. But as I sat there in that airport, what hurt most wasn’t the inconvenience. It was the echo of an old story the one that says, you’ve messed up ...

When Strength Looks Like Showing Up with Sadie Eversole

If you’ve ever wondered what courage looks like in real life, it isn’t a headline; it’s the rhythm of chores at dusk, tiny hands that miss their dad after a video call, and a mom who keeps choosing the next best step. Sadie reminds us that hope isn’t the absence of hard, it’s the decision to see beauty in the middle of it and to keep moving anyway. What stood out most in our conversation was how faith + practical tools hold hands. On the faith side, Sadie listens to the Bible on audio during ...

Where is Fear Holding the Pen in Your Story?

Fear is one of those companions we all carry sometimes quietly, sometimes loudly. What struck me in reflecting on my own journey is how often I’ve mistaken comfort for courage. People look at the big moves 13 years of foster care, selling everything and moving to Montana, launching a nonprofit and say, “Wow, you’re so brave.” And yet, many of those choices didn’t scare me. They were hard, yes, but they still sat in my comfort zone because I knew my capacity. The real fear showed up in unexpec...

Closing the Front Door: Parenting, Protection, and the Power of Hope with Lowell Hochhalter

Some truths don’t land softly: life doesn’t always get easier, but it can get better. Better happens when we practice hope like a verb. In my conversation with Lowell Hochhalter of The Lifeguard Group, we sat with this tension. Hope isn’t naïve sunshine; it’s the grit that keeps us moving when the road climbs. As a long-time foster mom, I’ve asked myself whether exposing my kids to hard stories dimmed their belief in people. Lowell reframed it: our family didn’t just witness brokenness we got...

Turn Down the Noise

Whose story are you living the one the world handed you, or the one you’re here to write? Lately we’ve been unpacking how early beliefs become “truth,” and how easily we outsource our next step to noise: the perfect niche, the perfect avatar, the perfect strategy. Tools matter—books, coaches, conferences have shaped me but they are not my compass. Alignment is. When I try to force my business into someone else’s blueprint, I feel it immediately: heaviness, resistance, chaos. That’s my cue to ...

Side Hustles, Mindset, and the Power of Intentionality with Malik Mack

On this week’s episode of The Courage Coalition, I had the privilege of sitting down with Malik Mack serial entrepreneur, speaker, and now author of 101 Side Hustles, Small Businesses, and Income Streams A Guide to Your Financial Freedom. Malik shared how his entrepreneurial journey started in middle school, selling gum for a profit and learning the math of return on investment before he even knew what ROI was. That simple act of curiosity turned into a lifelong pursuit of creating opportunit...

The Beliefs We Outgrow: Choosing Growth Over Old Truths

Our beliefs shape the lens we see life through but many of them aren’t actually ours. They were placed on us when we were five, six, seven years old, as our little brains were still wiring. Words spoken, experiences endured, and cultural messages absorbed became “truths” that we rarely stop to question. Over time, those beliefs become so ingrained we no longer even recognize them as beliefs they simply feel like who we are. But here’s the gift: they can be changed. At every stage of life, new...

Facing the Hardship with Broad Shoulders Head High with guest Amara Strong

Some stories punch the air out of the room. Amara’s did. She aged out of foster care, and for years the only people who truly knew her her siblings were scattered. The day she volunteered at a park serving breakfast to the homeless, she saw a face that looked familiar. It was her oldest brother. She was there to serve; he was there to be served. They cried, hugged, tried to make sense of a system that had separated them so completely they almost didn’t recognize one another. “Siblings are not...

Mindset: Redefining Abundance on Your Terms

This week on The Courage Coalition, we close out the BEAM process with the letter M—Mindset. Mindset is a circle it always brings us back to our beliefs and our values. Too often we attach our worth to numbers in the bank or benefits on paper and call that success. But true abundance isn’t just a dollar figure. Abundance is freedom of time, freedom of relationships, freedom of choice, and the courage to live aligned with your values. It’s the ability to change your mind and create a new story...

The Magic Mirror: How Style Helped Me See Myself with guest Jessica Papineau

There’s a quiet kind of courage in the way Jessica tells her story: a little girl in a house without electricity, pulling Salvation Army pieces from a closet and stepping into a “magic mirror.” Clothing wasn’t status—it was sanctuary. It was imagination when life felt unsafe. It was the first tool she used to see a future bigger than her circumstances. That muscle—imagination—became her superpower. And so did empathy. When you’ve known invisibility, you recognize it instantly in others: the w...

A is for Action: Creating Change One Step at a Time

This week on The Courage Coalition, we arrive at the “A” in the BEAM Blueprint: Action. After uncovering our beliefs and values and gathering the evidence of where we’ve been and where we are, it’s time to do the brave thing take a step forward. Action doesn’t have to be complicated or overwhelming. In fact, the most powerful changes often come from the smallest, simplest shifts. One baby step can alter the trajectory of not just your finances, but your life. Action looks like asking yourself...

More Than A Case File with guest Gena Flora

This week on The Courage Coalition, I sat with Gena Floro—a former foster youth whose story cracked my heart open and stitched it back together with hope. Between ages eight and eighteen, Gena was placed in 32 homes and attended 17 schools. Those aren’t just numbers; they’re 32 sets of rules, 32 beds, 32 times of being reminded she didn’t get to belong. In care, even simple choices ear piercing, playing a sport, cutting your hair required permission. “I learned I wasn’t a person, I was a plac...

Collecting the Evidence: Why Clarity With Money Matters

In week two of the BEAM process, we step into evidence. Numbers can feel intimidating P&Ls, budgets, balance sheets, but evidence isn’t just the black-and-white of what comes in and what goes out. Evidence is also the story of what you’ve already overcome. Maybe you put yourself through college on next to nothing, or you found a way to save for that first big family trip, or you had the courage to ask for a raise. Those are all pieces of evidence that you’ve done hard things before, and y...

The Quiet Courage of the Next Ten Miles with Dani Malanche

When I met Dani Malanche on the Tour du Mont Blanc, I knew right away she was someone I needed to know. We shared a few days on the trail together, and what unfolded was more than conversation, it was a lesson in courage, persistence, and what it means to live fully. Dani is a solo backpacker who has logged more than 2,000 miles, including the 800–mile Arizona Trail. But she’s also a former educator, a foster parent, and a woman who has learned how to take life one step at a time. What inspir...

Planted Beliefs and the Behaviors That Shape Our Finances

This week on The Courage Coalition, I had to sit with a hard question: Where do I go from here? The truth is, I was wrestling with clarity — not because I don’t have stories or lessons to share, but because sometimes the message feels heavy. Then a conversation with a prospective client reminded me of something simple but profound: we all live in cycles. The same story, the same belief, the same behavior… over and over again. And unless we pause to see it for what it is, nothing changes. So f...

Sales is Simply Being Human with guest Mandi Graziano

Sales often gets a bad reputation, something “sleazy” or uncomfortable that we’d rather avoid. But as my guest, bestselling author and sales coach Mandi Graziano, reminded me, we are all in sales every single day. Whether it’s a mom negotiating with her kids to get out the door, a teacher guiding students, or even a doctor helping a patient choose the best path, sales is everywhere. The difference is whether we approach it with fear and pressure or with humanity and practice. When we show up ...
