How many times do we take a step forward, get scared, and try to shimmy our way right back into what we know?

Because it’s familiar. Because we know what to expect. Because even when something doesn’t feel right anymore, at least we know how to live there.

I’ve done this.

And I’ve been thinking about how we can be so busy holding on to what was that we miss what’s right in front of us.

Our kids growing up. Chapters changing. Parts of life that we love so much, and we’re just not ready for them to look different.

I don’t think we have to look back and decide those chapters were bad. We don’t have to throw everything away or pretend it didn’t matter.

We can be grateful for what got us here. We can carry the pieces that matter. And we can let things change.

In this episode of Watch Sunsets with Me, I’m exploring what it means to bring awareness back to our thoughts, reconnect them with the body and heart, and create a little more space to choose how we want to meet our day.

Because being present doesn’t mean pretending everything is good. There is room for grief, heaviness, doubt, pain, and the messy parts of being human.

There is also room for play.

For color.

For connection.

For creativity.

For aliveness.

This is an invitation to slow down enough to notice where you are, take a breath, and ask:

How do I want to meet this moment?

Not perfectly. Not all day long.

Just one moment at a time.

In this episode of Watch Sunsets with Me, I talk all about how sometimes we can get so caught up in, “I need to be more healed,” or “I’m too broken to do this,” or “When things settle down, then I will.”

And a question I’ve been coming back to is:

What are you devoted to?

What are you devoting your time and your energy to?

Because we’re devoted to things all the time.

It’s just… are the things you’re devoted to actually serving you?

What have I been devoted to?

And is that devotion what I want to keep devoting my life to?

Maybe that’s something you can sit with as you listen to this episode.

At the end of the episode, I share a short little breathwork session where we ask:

What have I been devoted to?

What do I want to be devoted to?

What do I want to step into?

What do I want to release?

And we let the breath be this little moment of remembrance.

Of, oh my goodness…

I’m here.

I’m alive.

In this episode, I talk about perfectionism, the little girl in me who thought she had to be perfect to be loved, and what it has looked like to walk hand in hand with her instead of trying to get rid of her.

Because knowing something in your mind isn’t always enough.

We get to create a new experiences.

We get to take the scary step.

We get to show ourselves that we can do something differently.

We get to pave a new path, one little step at a time, until what once felt unfamiliar starts to feel like us.

And we realize we don’t have to carry all those bricks we’ve been carrying.

Maybe putting them down doesn’t make everything fall

It creates space.

Space for love.

Space for beauty.

Space for magic.

Space to breathe.

Space to actually live.

And… it’s messy.

Sometimes it feels like paint is just being splattered everywhere and you’re standing there thinking, I have no idea what this is becoming.

And that’s okay.

We don’t have to know yet.

Somewhere in the middle of all that mess, something starts to happen.

Your body exhales.

The color comes back.

You start feeling life again.

And you realize…

Oh.

This is what it feels like to live.

This episode is for the person who is tired of performing, tired of trying to get it right, or maybe just ready to step outside the box and experience this one wild, beautiful life a little more fully.

You don’t have to have it all figured out.You get to be messy. You get to be human.

You get to live.

What are you going to choose to do with this one wild, beautiful life?

In this solo episode of Watch Sunsets with Me, I’m sharing a breathwork experience that really made me stop and look at where I’ve been holding myself back.

I heard, “You don’t have to use the gifts I gave you. But if you’re going to choose not to use them, don’t keep asking me to show you a sign on what you’re supposed to do.”

Maybe sometimes we’re not actually waiting for clarity. Maybe we already know. We’re just scared of what following that knowing is going to require of us.

This episode is about choosing to fully experience this life. About the gifts we’ve been given, the paths we get to choose, and the places where we might be hiding, looping, or holding ourselves back.

It’s about breathwork, but not just sitting down for another two-hour practice or another thing to check off the list. It’s about bringing the breath, the presence, the play, the aliveness, and the magic into our everyday lives.

Because your circumstances don’t always have to change for you to experience life differently.

So where are you holding yourself back?

Are you standing at the start line, asking for another sign?

Or are you ready to start running?

You matter. You are loved. The color will come back.

Let’s start finding your color again. Let’s start painting on the pages again. Let’s start creating again. Let’s start finding the aliveness and remembering who you are.

I felt so stuck, so disconnected, and like I had lost myself again. I was just trying to claw my way out of the box.

Have you ever felt this way?

Where everything looks good on the outside, but inside you feel so empty and lost? Like you’re going through the motions, but you don’t feel like yourself anymore?

This episode dives deep into that feeling.

Sally and I both share personal stories about moments where we felt like we lost the color in our lives. Where life started to feel empty again, and how we began finding our way back and rewriting our stories.

Because this life is meant to be experienced fully. Felt fully.

I think sometimes we wear this badge of honor that says, “I’m just surviving. I’m just making it.”

But what if that’s not the only way?

What if you let yourself play again?

What if you remembered what it feels like to feel the magic?

To feel alive?

To let the color come back into your life?

In this episode, we invite you to make a list of the things that would help your life feel more colorful again…

And then choose one.

Do it today.

As always, thank you for watching sunsets with us.

Sally called me in the middle of a full spiral. One worry had turned into ten, her nervous system was in overdrive, so we talked things over, she went to a park and walked barefoot on the grass while we filmed this episode.

How many of us have felt this way. How many of us feel overwhelmed 24/7…

Most of us aren’t overwhelmed because we’re doing life wrong. We’re overwhelmed because we’ve gotten so busy carrying everything that we’ve forgotten to come back to ourselves.

In this episode, we’re talking about the little things that help us remember.

Walking barefoot.

Feeling the sun on your face.

Taking one deep breath.

Moving your body because it feels good not because you have to.

Looking up long enough to notice the sunset.

Not because these things magically fix your life.

But because they create enough space for you to breathe again.

This isn’t another conversation about having the perfect self-care routine.

It’s about creating tiny moments that remind you you’re human.

If you’ve been feeling like you’re snapping more than you’d like, carrying too much, or wondering why you’ve started to lose yourself in the middle of a life you actually love…

This one’s for you.

In this Summer Girl Chat, Sally and I explore what often sits underneath body shame: stress, loneliness, perfectionism, and the longing to simply be seen. We talk about why so many women fall into trauma bonding, why trying to “fix” ourselves rarely brings lasting peace, and how healing begins when we’re met with compassion instead of judgment.

We also dive into the power of women’s circles, what it means to truly hold space for one another, and why so many of us are craving deeper connection over surface-level conversations.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re carrying shame alone, this conversation is an invitation to exhale. You don’t have to have the right words. You don’t have to have it all together. Sometimes healing begins simply by being seen.
