In this episode, I share something personal: what happened when I committed to writing my book… and then immediately felt the weight of it.

This isn’t just about writing. It’s about that moment when a dream lights you up—then resistance pulls you down.
You start asking:

“Do I really have time for this?”
“What if I fail?”
“Who do I think I am?”

Sound familiar?

Whether it’s healing, parenting, or chasing a deeper purpose, we all hit that wall. And in this episode, I show you what helped me shift—not by pushing harder, but by reconnecting with vision, identity, and joy.

 You'll hear:

  • Why most moms lose momentum (and how to get it back)
  • How to create a “moonshot” goal that pulls you forward
  • Why micro-habits matter more than willpower
  • What I learned from a client who almost gave up—and didn’t

Plus, I’ll share the bigger mission I’m building, and how you’re already part of it.

Let’s dream bigger—without burning out. Listen now and then message me: What’s your moonshot?
