This week’s episode is coming to you a few days late — and for a very real reason: I’ve been in the trenches.

The truth is, I’ve been navigating another deep wave of grief, and instead of pushing through or pretending I’m fine, I’m choosing to show up honestly. In this catch-up episode, I’m sharing what’s been going on behind the scenes — energetically, emotionally, and practically — and what it really looks like to live your values when life feels heavy.

Inside, I share:

🌀 What “showing up” looks like when I’m depleted

📉 The difference between emotional burnout vs physical depletion

🧠 The saboteur patterns I’ve been noticing in myself lately

🧰 Why I’ve gone back to my mental fitness foundation — again

🥣 How I’ve been using the simplest tools (cold plunge, tracking, unplugging, journaling) to reset

🎂 What my birthday taught me about perfectionism, people-pleasing, and grief

💔 The bittersweet experience of being with family as I process life after loss

This isn’t a polished how-to episode — it’s a real-time download from someone who is doing the work in real life. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or just off-track… this one’s for you.

And let this be your reminder:

Whatever you’re going through, you are not alone.
