Today I'm sharing a heartfelt announcement: after four years of bringing you weekly content, it’s time for a podcast sabbatical.

Join me for a final (for now) candid, honest conversation on life, change, and why sometimes, hitting “pause” is the wisest move you can make. I'll be digging into the importance of creating space, the courage it takes to let go, and why prioritizing can lead to more satisfaction—even if it’s a tough decision. 

In this episode, we explore how to develop a bias for action, a tool for high achievers who get stuck in overthinking. We’ll talk about why taking small, imperfect actions can create momentum, build confidence, and ultimately help you reach your goals.

If you’ve ever been stuck in planning mode, endlessly researching or strategizing without taking that next step, this episode is for you.

Tune in and get ready to start making moves!

Let’s be real: our culture has some ridiculous, impossible ideas about how women’s bodies should look and behave. 

Whether you're struggling to like what you see in the mirror, frustrated with your body's athletic performance (or lack thereof), or feeling overwhelmed and out of sorts as your body begins making its way through perimenopause, this week's episode is for you.

If you’re ready to give the middle finger to body shame and finally create a relationship with your body that feels GOOD, hit play now.

I’ll share examples of what this pattern might actually look like in real life, and we’ll unpack why you might feel drawn to make things harder than they need to be.

If you’ve ever found yourself complicating tasks or feeling uneasy when work is a breeze, this episode is for you!

In today’s episode, we’re diving into a surprising pattern that sneaks up on high performers: overworking because things feel too easy.

Yep, you heard that right!

We’re talking about how overachievers sometimes invent extra work or add complexity because their task load doesn’t feel hard enough to be valuable and satisfying.

I’ll share examples of what this pattern might actually look like in real life, and we’ll unpack why you might feel drawn to make things harder than they need to be.

If you’ve ever found yourself complicating tasks or feeling uneasy when work is a breeze, this episode is for you!

Whether you feel guilty about taking time away from your children to work, spending too much time on your phone while they play, losing your temper in front of them, wanting time alone, or even feeding them the same foods multiple meals in a row, chances are, you’ve felt your share of mom guilt. 

But where does that guilt come from and is it really helpful?

Tune in for an episode all about mom guilt, why it exists, and what you can do about it (so you can spend more time enjoying your kiddos and less time worrying you’re messing them up).

So many of us only feel good about ourselves when we’re productive, doing well, and people are happy with us. But what if you could feel good about yourself regardless of how well things are going? I’ll break down why this happens, how it affects high-achieving women in particular, and what you can do to reclaim your worthiness without hustling for it. 

Having to stay in a bad work situation sucks. But there are things you can do to feel better and avoid burnout until you can move on. 

In this episode, I discuss three sanity-saving practices that will help you handle a work environment you’d rather not be in. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, overworked, or ready to leave your job but can’t quite make the leap yet, these tools will empower you to thrive where you are and lay the foundation for having a better experience in your next role.

Are there things about yourself that you believe you just can’t change? In this episode, I’m diving into a perspective that keeps so many of us stuck: the fixed mindset. It’s that voice that says, “I’ve always been this way” or “It’s too late for me to change.” While this way of thinking might feel true and even protective, it often blocks us from growing, trying new things, and living the life we truly want.

This week, I’ll break down the hidden costs of a fixed mindset and introduce the power of adopting a growth mindset instead. You’ll learn how this shift can unlock your potential, boost your resilience, and open doors you didn’t even know were closed. Whether you’ve been feeling stuck in your career, relationships, or personal development, this episode is packed with insights and practical tools to help you embrace change and step into your full potential.

Are you stuck in the trap of trying to get everything just right? This week, I’m tackling a common thought pattern that plagues many high achievers and perfectionists: "I have to do this right." While this mindset can drive quality work and offer a sense of control, it often comes with significant downsides like procrastination, burnout, and missed opportunities for growth. I’ll break down why this thought pattern can backfire and introduce a powerful new mindset shift you can make to set yourself up for more success and satisfaction. This episode is packed with insights and practical tips for anyone looking to overcome the pressure of perfection and start making real progress toward their goals.

Ever wish your partner could just know what you want without you having to spell it out? In this episode of Satisfied AF, I dive into why this common mindset leads to disappointment, frustration, and resentment—and how it’s keeping you from the deep connection you crave.

I’ll explore why you might expect your partner to read your mind, the damage it causes, and most importantly, what to do instead. You’ll learn how to communicate your needs clearly and confidently, and discover how asking for what you want can transform your relationship into one where you feel truly seen, known, and loved. Whether you’re craving more quality time, a surprise party, or just some flowers now and then, this episode will empower you to stop waiting for your partner to guess and start building the connection you deserve.

When people talk about burnout, they generally mean work burnout, but something I’ve seen over and over again with clients, friends, and even myself is that you can experience burnout in pretty much any facet of your life. Think marriage burnout, parenting burnout, and political burnout just to name a few.

As a coach, I help clients get what they want, whether that’s a new job, a better handle on their finances, a more connected relationship with their sweetie, or anything else. But sometimes, getting what you want doesn’t feel the way you think it will. Your goals have been achieved and your life is deeply satisfying, but you may run into a sense of malaise. This week, I’m digging into the surprising phenomenon that sometimes happens when you finally unlock your goals - you feel worse than ever. Tune in to learn what you can do if you find yourself making your dreams come true but weirdly feeling worse than ever.

Whether you’ve been with your significant other a few months, a few years, or even a few decades, you may have doubts and insecurities. Do they love you as much as you love them? Are they the right choice? Is this relationship built to last? If you want to shift those lingering uncertainties into confidence and enjoy your relationship more, this week’s episode is just the thing.

Sometimes, you’re in a situation with no good options. You’re laid off, the job market sucks, and you’re woefully unprepared to hit the ground running on landing a new role. Or you find out your significant other has been cheating, and you don’t want to leave them, but you also don’t know how you could ever forgive them. Or you injure yourself and don’t like any of the options you have for healing your body. No matter what situation you find yourself in, it’s challenging to figure out what to do when you don’t like any of your options. Luckily, this week we’re talking about what you *can* do when you’re in this situation, and how you can move forward in a way that feels good to you.

Networking gets a bad rap, sometimes for good reason. It can feel awkward and uncomfortable to attend a networking event, talk to new people, and try to build genuine relationships from the ground up. But networking can also be extremely helpful for building a professional community, breaking into a new company or industry, and moving your career forward. Tune in this week for a conversation all about how to do networking in a way that feels good to you and helps you achieve your goals.

Getting started is hard. Whether you’re updating your resume, building a slick powerpoint deck for the monthly business review meeting, or even just folding those clothes that have been in the dryer for six days, it can be a challenge to get yourself going. This week’s episode will explain why this happens and what you can do instead. Next thing you know, you’ll be starting (and finishing) all kinds of tasks and projects that have been piling up.

As the US’s politics become increasingly divisive, folks are feeling more and more stressed about elections big and small. And that’s especially true of 2024’s presidential election. Tune in this week to learn how to use coaching tools to manage your election stress.

In today's fast-paced, high-pressure world, many people grapple with feelings of dissatisfaction and depression. While these emotions can sometimes overlap, it's crucial to understand the distinct differences between them. While coaching is a good fit for digging into dissatisfaction (and making changes so that you feel more ease, delight, and confidence), depression is better addressed with a mental health practitioner like a therapist.

This week we’re joined by my client, Liz, who will share how one on one coaching impacted her writing, career, and overall self esteem.

In a capitalist society, you are socialized to feel deeply dissatisfied with your life from the moment you are born. This is not an accident. Capitalism thrives on your dissatisfaction, both in how that drives consumerism and in how it cultivates overworking. Today’s episode will explore how capitalist economies benefit from dissatisfied people, the role of marketing, the influence of social media, and the impact of news and media in maintaining this state of discontent.
