I just wanted to drop in and let you know that the podcast will be on a short break this week and next. But don’t worry - I’ll be back on Thursday, March 6th with something exciting!

I’m rebranding the podcast. So there will be a new name and new artwork, but you can still expect the same core themes I've been talking about on the show. It’s a little refresh I've been thinking about for a while and now's the time.

So if in two weeks you see a podcast in your feed and think, Wait… what is this? It’s still me! Just with a new podcast name and artwork.

Enjoy the next couple of weeks and I'll see you in March!

Ever feel like something is too risky, even when you’ve taken all the right precautions? Or maybe you hesitate to take a leap because it still feels uncertain?

Today, we’re diving into the Peltzman Effect, a concept that explains how our perception of risk changes when safety measures are in place—and how we can actually use this to our advantage.

Have you ever had a job that should feel amazing, but something still feels off? Maybe it checks all the right boxes, yet deep down, you’re unfulfilled. In this episode, we’re exploring why some jobs look great on paper but don’t align with who we are.

I’ll share a client’s story about transitioning to a job that seemed perfect but left her feeling disconnected and how she uncovered what was missing. I also talk about why gratitude can’t override misalignment, the fears that keep us from speaking up, and how you can start identifying the kind of work that truly lights you up.

If something feels off for you right now, I encourage you to take a step back and ask:

• What parts of me feel most alive when I express them?
• Am I actually expressing them in my work?
• And if not, what would it look like to start?

Today’s episode is all about dreaming big, and why it can be so challenging for some people to imagine a different way of living or working.

For many of the women I coach, dreaming outside the framework they’ve followed for years can feel foreign. If you’ve spent most of your life checking boxes and following a well-laid-out path, the question, “What do I really want?” might not come naturally.

But this doesn't mean that you lack creativity and are unable to dream. I truly think that dreaming big is a skill, and like any skill, you can strengthen it with practice!

Questions to help you practice dreaming bigger

• Who inspires me, and what about their life or choices resonates with me?
• What would it look like to live a life that’s 1% bigger?
• What is one thing I’ve always been curious about but never pursued?
• If I could spend a day doing anything I wanted, no matter how impractical, what would it be?
• What’s a place I’ve always wanted to visit or live, and what about it excites me?
• What is one small, joyful thing I could do this week that would feel adventurous or new?
• When was the last time I felt truly alive and excited? What was I doing?
• What’s something I’ve told myself I can’t do but secretly want to try?
• What values do I want to align my life with more closely?
• What’s something I’d regret not trying if I reached the end of my life?

So, my friend, how are you feeling right now?

Whatever it is - good, bad, or somewhere in between - just take a moment to notice. No judgment. No rush to fix it. Just an honest check-in.

Because when you slow down to truly listen, you’re not just noticing how you feel - you’re building a relationship with yourself moving forward.

Happy New Year! This week we’re diving into a question from one of my clients:

"Is it possible to feel the Sunday Scaries in regards to an entire year?"

And I think the answer is yes, especially if you're anticipating change in the future. But you don’t have to stay stuck there.

Here are some ways to check in with yourself:

• Acknowledge how you’re feeling.
• Give it a story.
• Ask if it makes sense and if it’s helpful.
• Create space for yourself to feel those emotions with compassion.

You’ve got options for supporting yourself as you move into this new year, no matter what it holds.
