January felt like six weeks. Did it feel like that for you too?

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on why the podcast has been quiet for the past month and what’s shifting, both personally and collectively, as we move through these turning times.

If you’re a listener of the podcast, I’m guessing you are someone who has been feeling this fundamental energetic shift we are experiencing. Information is no longer the currency. The old ways of showing up online (the long-form podcasts, the information-heavy courses, the constant content creation) are evolving. And I can feel myself evolving with them.

This episode is about what’s possible when you stop carrying your business alone. When you stop churning out launches and content like a machine. When you realize that thinking about your work all the time and mapping your next step isn’t passion, it’s a survival response.

In this episode I offer several solutions for how you can create new support structures and systems that allow you to shift out of that survival response. So that you can get off of the hamster wheel, and finally experience a version of your business that is capable of mothering you back.

In this episode, I talk about:

Some big announcements in the coaching space, like Jenna Kutcher shutting down her podcast and Amy Porterfield closing her course academy

Why information is no longer the currency and what is taking its place

The real reason you’re thinking about your business all the time

Three specific solutions to stop feeling like your business is 100% dependent on you

What’s coming to the podcast: a paid tier with practices, integration support, and behind-the-scenes access

What’s resonating with you right now? Are you tired of thinking about your business all the time? Are you ready to build systems and support so you’re not carrying everything alone? I’d love to know what landed for you in this episode.

As we start to wrap up our first full week of 2026, I can honestly say this year feels different.

In this episode, I invited Jenna Knapp back to look ahead at what’s coming in 2026—the astrology, the trends, the shifts we’re already sensing, and how I’m approaching it all in my company and life.

We’re in turning times, y’all. I’ve said this so many times. And 2026 is the year when the changes we’ve been feeling under the surface actually start to sprout. The outer planets are all shifting signs—something that hasn’t happened in this way since the dawn of Western civilization. We’re moving from the dreamy, marinating energy of Pisces into the fiery, action-oriented territory of Aries. Which means the new isn’t just simmering anymore—it’s going to break through the soil.

But here’s what matters most: in a world accelerating toward AI, algorithms, and techno-everything, there’s a quiet revolution happening. People are craving real contact. Real humans. Real trust. Impact.

That’s where the human flag comes in.

2026 is the year where you get to plant yourself firmly in your values, your humanness, your realness. To stand on what you believe so that others can find you. Because in 2026, the businesses and leaders who will rise are the ones who choose embodiment over automation, integration over information, and human connection over mastering the algorithim.

In this episode, we talk about:

-The major astrological shifts of 2026 and what they mean for how we do business and life

-Why the trust recession is real—and why being imperfect, emotional, and human in your business is now your greatest asset

-How I’m retraining myself for long-form content instead of short and snappy captions that catch attention

-The move back to in-person community, local connection, and feet-on-the-ground relating

-Why I’m pulling back from social media and what I’m doing instead

-The deep letting go that’s required to make space for a 10X leap

What are you raising your human flag for in 2026? I’d love to know what resonated with you from this episode. What seeds are you planting? What are you letting go? How are you choosing to show up as a human this year? Come hang out on Substack and leave a comment to let us know what's alive for you!

In this final episode of the year, I invited my support gal, Jenna Knapp onto the podcast to reflect on the wins, lessons, and surprises that happened within my company during 2025.

Together, we look back on the year that didn’t quite turn out the way anyone thought it would.

Of course I loved this year because it gave me the greatest gift, the birth of my daughter Sadie Aurora. But it also was full of surprises that illustrated again and again that things are changing and the old way of doing business is no longer working.

In this episode we pull back the curtain as we celebrate all of the wins (a practice I always do with clients at the end of my containers), examine what worked, and identify what is ready to be composted for 2026 growth.

Get cozy, grab some tea, and come sit with us as we take you behind the scenes of how I close a year in business.

This episode is for you if —

-You want a transparent, behind-the-scenes look at how I actually close a year in business

-You know you should slow down and celebrate your wins, but you often rush straight into “what’s next” instead

-You enjoy year-end reflection practices and want to follow along with meaningful prompts you can apply to your own life or business

-2025 didn’t go the way you expected — and you’re still integrating the lessons before stepping into 2026

-You’re holding both gratitude and exhaustion, pride and grief, and want permission for all of it to coexist

How did this episode resonate with you? I’d love to know what 2025 was like for you. What are you celebrating? What grew? What are you composting?

In this solo episode of Birthing the New, I share a guided somatic practice for those moments when you feel exasperated, depleted, or on the brink of giving up — particularly as an experienced business owner navigating a year that hasn’t unfolded the way you expected.

Rather than rushing to burn everything down, this practice invites you to slow down, come into your body, and sit with the part of you that wants to quit — not to override her, but to listen. Often, this urge isn’t asking you to abandon your vision, but to release a way of showing up that is no longer sustainable.

This episode is especially resonant as we close out a challenging year and stand on the edge of what’s next.

This episode is for you if —

You need to hear that the desire to quit is not inherently wrong — and can actually be a compass

You know you’re in a “soil work” season of your business rather than a visible growth phase

Deep down you know you don’t actually want to quit, but you know something needs to change

P.S. If you loved this practice and know you want to dive into more somatic work, my course Made For More is where you learn how to expand your capacity to receive and hold money through somatics.

This week on Birthing the New, I’m taking you inside the intimate, vulnerable, and deeply empowering story of my daughter Sadie Aurora’s free birth — and the ripple effects her birth has continued to create in my life since her arrival.

This episode was originally recorded on my friend Dr. Cindy’s podcast, Rewire For Birth. Dr. Cindy Tahhan, ND is a naturopathic doctor and birth guardian, and there was no better place to share my wild and free birth story.

In this episode I share the full arc of my free birth experience, including what shifted from my first birth, what I desired for this one, and the spiritual and emotional preparations that supported me.

I always knew that I would share the birth story here as well, and I love that I get to share it in this interview format. The space that Dr. Cindy held for me was so powerful — the opportunity to be witnessed in my story like this was medicine.

And now, I get to share it with you.

This episode is for you if —

You love hearing other’s birth stories and are curious to learn more about free birth

You listened to my Conception Stories Part 1 & Part 2 and want to hear how Sadie girl arrived in the world

You feel the importance of community in motherhood and love witnessing other mother’s share their stories

You are passionate about imagining a new world for our future generations, centered around matriarchal leadership

This week on Birthing the New, I’ve hand selected a training from the Made For More portal just for you. Made For More is my six week money manifestation course ( included in the Money Mama Bundle Flash Sale), that is all about expanding your capacity to receive big money through alchemizing your big feelings.

In this training we explore the surprising ways our earliest experiences of belonging shape how we show up in community and how we lead — and why the lone wolf archetype is often not a choice, but something we’ve been unknowingly programmed for.

In this episode, I take you through five archetypes — the Good Girl, the Perfectionist, the Performer, the Rebel, and the Martyr — and unpack how these outdated patterns keep us small, over-functioning, and isolated.

If you’ve ever felt like you have to figure it all out on your own, this episode shows you why — and how to step into a new way of leading that feels supported, abundant, and deeply connected.

This episode is for you if —

You often feel like you should be able to do everything yourself and are tired of perpetuating this narrative

You’re longing for more belonging, community, and support

You crave leadership that feels relational, not performative

Tune in on Substack, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen!

If you recognized yourself in the lone wolf archetypes, feel the truth of doing too much alone, or have been sensing that your next level of leadership requires deeper community and support — there are two powerful next steps available to you.

This week on Birthing the New, we’re exploring what it really means to receive support — not just in theory, but in your body, your business, and your leadership.

In this episode, I pull back the curtain on my own journey of hiring and building a team, sharing the raw and honest truth about why asking for help (and actually letting it in) can feel so uncomfortable — especially for women conditioned to be self-reliant, self-sufficient, and endlessly capable.

I break down the somatics of support on a body level, the subtle ways the lone-wolf paradigm limits growth, and I tell you the next role I’m hiring for…

If you’ve ever wondered why “just hire support” feels harder than it sounds — this conversation offers clarity, compassion, and a path forward.

This episode is for you if —

You’ve ever felt like you wanted to grow your Dream Team but felt overwhelmed by the thought of the hiring process

You’ve been exhausted lately trying to keep everything afloat, knowing you can no longer do it alone

You’re excited about your growth strategy but it feels like your body isn’t on board yet, and you know you’re missing the somatic piece of the puzzle

This week on Birthing the New, we’re diving deep into what it means to be supported by people who truly understand you, see you at your highest potential, and have your back while you navigate building and leading your soul-led business.

In this episode, I share exactly what a Power Web is (and is not), how to tell if you already have one, and how building your Power Web can allow you to enter into an entirely new way of doing business.

If you’ve ever felt disappointed when sharing about your experiences as an entrepreneur with family or friends, you are not alone. Often, we look for validation and support amongst the people who have been in our lives the longest. But choosing to run your own business, start a company, or hire a team is an entirely different kind of an initiation. An initiation that requires we weave an entirely new web of support.

This episode is for you if —

-You’ve ever felt alone in your entrepreneurial journey and crave closeness with people who get it

-You’ve been outgrowing your “old” role in relationships and need to be surrounded by people who understand the identity that you’re stepping into

-You’re excited about building your Power Web and are eager to learn how to weave a support system of community that has your back

Tune in on Substack, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen!

The Power Web is just one pillar of Matriarchal Leadership we train inside the MOTHERMIND Leadership Training.

The MOTHERMIND Leadership Training (which begins in January 2026) is a 9 month experience where you will build out your Legacy Business as a Matriarchal Leader and learn the strategies and somatic skills to scale as a woman and mother.
