  • #179: Can "Competing Values" Complicate Decisions?
    Jan 22 2026

    Today we’re continuing last week’s core values conversation and tackling the moment I really don't want you to worry about:

    “What if my values are in competition with each other?”

    Here’s where we go:

    • Why “competing values” usually isn’t the real problem (and what actually is)

    • How circular thinking keeps you stuck in the confusion cave 🫣

    • The one question that shortcuts you out of all-or-nothing decision loops

    • How to make a clear, confident choice without needing a perfect emotional outcome

    If you’ve ever felt stuck between a rock and a hard place - or like every option means sacrificing something important - this episode will help you find your way back to clarity.

  • #177: How to Hold Regret Without it Holding You Back
    Jan 8 2026

    A lot of people are carrying decisions from last year they wish had gone differently — and I don’t want you spending the entire first chunk of 2026 quietly recovering from 2025.

    This episode is about how to experience regret without letting it define you, derail you, or keep you stuck in self-judgment.

    You don’t need to get rid of regret. You just need a healthier relationship with it.

    Here’s where we go today:

    • Why regret doesn’t HAVE TO mean you failed and need to pay penance with shame

    • How accepting that regret will happen actually prevents shame and self-blame

    • The difference between feeling regret and over-identifying with it

    • How it helps to identify thoughts and emotions when regret hits

    • The most important question to ask after regret shows up

    If you’ve ever worried that regret means you “chose wrong,” this episode will help you move forward without punishing yourself.

  • #176: How to Think BIG in 2026 (Even if 2025 Beat You Up a Bit)
    Jan 1 2026

    Happy New Year! 🎉 Whatever happened last year, today I'm asking you to think big for 2026.

    And I get it - 2025 asked a lot of people (I'm right there with you). Professionally, relationally, blood-sweat-and-tears-ily - you might feel a little beat up right now.

    So can you possibly think big without pretending you're not tired?

    You start right here. Here's where we go today:

    • Why tough seasons quietly put us into “defense mode” - and how long that can last if we don’t interrupt it

    • The difference between reacting to life vs. actually leading it

    • How to start a new chapter without waiting for everything to feel resolved, healed, or perfect

    • Why thinking big doesn’t have to mean thinking loud, fast, or exhausting

    • The single most important question to ask yourself this year - and why avoiding it keeps you stuck

    If you want to meet yourself where you are AND choose where you’re going next, this is for you!

    This is a perfect time of year to clear mental clutter, zoom out on what actually matters, and align your next 90-ish days with what you really want—so December 31st you feels proud, not like “what just happened?”

    You get a 3-part exercise today (but I don’t want you to skip it ‘cause it feels big, so I made sure you can do it on a dog walk).

    Here’s where we go:

    • How to figure out your top priorities for the end of the year
    • What to look for in your existing plans (hint: autopilot obligations can (and will!) crowd everything else out)

  • #174: Shame vs Guilt (and Why it Even Matters)
    Sep 25 2025

    If you’ve ever bent a decision around “not wanting to feel guilty,” this one’s for you.

    Today we separate guilt (outward, action/outcome-focused: “I did something wrong”) from shame (inward, identity-focused: “I am wrong”).

    Which matters because when you can spot authentic emotions that help you repair or realign—you can drop the inauthentic, habitual stuff that only fuels people-pleasing, FOPO, and misaligned decisions.

    Here’s where we go:

    • The fast distinction: Guilt vs. Shame
    • What’s usually going on when we feel “guilty” for a choice (hint: you’re probably shaming yourself)
    • How authentic emotions guide useful repair vs. how shame paralyzes
    • Questions to sort authentic vs. inauthentic shame/guilt (and act accordingly)
    • A boundary example from real life

    Sep 18 2025

    Do you ever judge your decisions by how things turned out? Yup - you and most everyone else! And it’s one of the biggest mistakes we’re all making.

    In this episode, I’ll help you separate outcomes from decisions, so you can stop beating yourself up over things you couldn’t control and start celebrating the way you made choices - even if they don’t end up how you want.

    Here’s where we go:

    • Why confusing decisions with outcomes keeps you stuck in self-blame
    • A higher-quality question to ask yourself instead of “What was I thinking?!”
    • How to define what a good decision means for you (without fortune telling)
    • Why this shift makes it easier to trust yourself and stay on your own team

    If you want to feel clearer, more intentional, and less judgmental about your choices, this one’s for you.
