What does it really mean to come home to yourself?

In this new series, we are diving deep into the messy, uncomfortable, and ultimately transformative journey of homecoming. 

This September marks a deeply personal milestone – my 10-year soberversary. Ten years of choosing myself, my wellbeing, and my Joy. Ten years of remembering that homecoming isn’t a single event, but a practice – a daily decision to return to who we really are, even after forgetting.

In this episode, we cover: 

• What homecoming means and why it feels especially alive right now.
• Reflections on moving into her dream acreage—and how life’s closed doors can actually redirect us toward the dream doors waiting for us.
• The real-life signs of self-abandonment: overcommitting, people-pleasing, numbing, busyness, ignoring intuition, or pushing through instead of resting.
• Why compassion is essential when we notice where we’ve been leaving ourselves.
• A simple guided pause + breath practice to help you land back in your body and honour yourself in the moment.

You’ll also hear stories from my journey of sobriety, entrepreneurship, and self-leadership—reminders that Joy isn’t about perfection, but about coming home, over and over again.

If you’ve been feeling exhausted, disconnected, or not like yourself lately, this episode is your reminder - you’re not broken. You just get to come back home.
