475: The Healthy Way to End a Relationship

Not every relationship is meant to last forever. Friendships, partnerships, even family or work connections can shift. Sometimes the healthiest choice is to let them go. But how do you do that with compassion, clarity, and grace?   In this episode, I’m sharing how to recognize when a relationship has run its course, what it means from a soul-growth perspective, and how to navigate endings without blame, shame, or judgment. You’ll also learn how to move forward with self-compassion and confidence, even when grief arises.   In this episode, you will hear: How to...

474: From Empty Nest to New Beginnings

When our kids leave the nest, we’re left with a house that feels quieter, emptier, and sometimes unbearably still. This transition can stir up grief, loss, and confusion about who we are without the daily role of being “mom” or “dad” at the center of our lives.   In this episode, I’m talking about the very real experience of empty nest syndrome and how to navigate it with compassion and consciousness. No one prepares us for this season of life, but it can also be an opportunity to reconnect with ourselves, process...

469: Overcoming Codependent Habits

Today, I’m talking about one of my absolute favorite topics…codependency. I’ve lived this, I’ve healed from it, and today I’m sharing my personal story of what that journey looked like for me.    This conversation was inspired by a thoughtful question from one of our listeners who asked how to handle the hurt and pain that can come from our own codependent behaviors in relationships.    Together, we explore what codependency really is, how it often shows up unconsciously, and why it can be so manipulative without us even realizing it. I’ll walk you...

467: The Surprising Signs You’re in a Toxic Relationship

Today, I’m diving into a really important topic - how to recognize toxic relationships. These relationships can sneak into our lives and slowly chip away at our self-worth if we don’t know what to look for.    I’m sharing why we sometimes attract these patterns, often because of unresolved childhood wounds, and I’ll walk you through six key signs that can help you spot toxicity early on. We’ll talk about feelings of dread, gaslighting, blame, and other subtle behaviors that can leave us feeling confused and small. I’m also sharing some personal...
