Itโs like flipping through the pages of my personal journal and letting you see it all: growth, grit, grief, and gratitude.Inside, Iโm sharing what it felt like to:๐ฅ Get everything I ever wantedโฆ all at once๐ธ Re-learn powerful lessons about money, investing, and trust๐ See who was really in my corner and who had to go๐ป Build a business while holding the emotional weight of family illness and team burnout๐ Experience deep motherhood shifts as my boys started growing up right before my eyes๐ง๐ฝโโ๏ธ Recommit to nervous system work, breathwork, therapy, and learning how to slow the hell down๐ And step boldly into the next chapter of audacity, amplification, and bigger impactThis oneโs for the women doing hard things behind the scenes.

Do you Struggle To Be Quiet?
Most people canโt sit in silence.They fill every space with noise, distractions, and chatter because sitting with yourself is confronting.But what if the real magic happens in the stillness?In this episode, Iโm sharing what Iโve learned about silence, presence, and the deep discomfort that comes from simply being. From spa days in Melbourne to five-day silent retreats, Iโve come to understand that quiet isnโt empty, itโs full of truth.If youโre the kind of woman who avoids slowing down, who resists being alone with her thoughts, or who doesnโt know how to โdo nothingโ without guiltโฆ this one is for you.Letโs talk about nervous energy, distraction, healing, and why doing less can actually give you more.Weโre diving into:Why some of us fear silenceHow stillness helps you meet yourselfWhat weโre really running from when we stay โbusyโThe truth about transformation and spaceThis oneโs a reset.Get ready to meet yourself in the quiet.๐ Want to go deeper?
