Lighthouse Within

So many of us learn to see ourselves through the lens of what we do for others - the roles we play, the support we give, the comfort we provide. But what happens when we pause and ask: who am I beyond all of that?

In this episode, I share an experience that reminded me how easy it is to tie our identity to how we show up for others… and how important it is to remember that we are lovable simply for being ourselves. We’ll e...

If you’ve ever felt like the one holding it all together - the fixer, the emotional caretaker, the one who makes sure everyone else is okay - this episode is for you. It’s easy to take on the weight of other people’s feelings, struggles, and choices… but at what cost?

In this episode, I’m exploring why we tend to carry things that were never ours to begin with. We’ll talk about how childhood conditioning and trauma responses can wir...

Some of us give so much that we forget to check in with ourselves. Others struggle to receive without guilt, feeling like accepting support makes us a burden. And if we’re honest, most of us dance between both ends of that spectrum.

In this episode, I’m unpacking the balance between giving and receiving -not just in relationships, but in how we manage our energy, allow support, and care for ourselves. I talk about how masculine and ...

This time of year always stirs something up - fresh starts, new energy, and sometimes…overwhelm. After the holidays, I found myself needing a full reset - not just in my space, but in my body and mind too.

In this episode, I’m sharing what it’s looked like for me to navigate this season of recalibration. I’ve never fully resonated with the pressure to make massive changes in January (spring always feels more like the true beginning)...

In today’s illuminating conversation, I’m joined by the one and only Dr. Les Cole, a psychotherapist with over 45 years of experience in mental health, spirituality, and trauma work. Les brings a rare blend of wisdom, warmth, and wit to help us understand the evolving nature of the ego. Together, we explore the fascinating journey of ego development - how our ego forms, how trauma can shape it into rigid patterns, and how we can so...

There’s a part of you that never stopped needing care, play, and presence - that part is your inner child. And reconnecting with them can be one of the most healing and powerful things you ever do.

In this episode, I’m diving into what it means to truly nurture your inner child - the piece of you that holds past experiences, emotions, and unmet needs. Whether it’s the holidays stirring up nostalgia or you're simply craving more...

In this heartfelt conversation, I’m joined by my close friend and powerhouse wellness coach, Bri Goodfellow - founder of Salt & Light Functional Health Coaching. Bri’s journey from struggling with her own health to becoming a Certified Health and Functional Nutrition Coach is such a beautiful example of what it means to heal from the inside out.

We talk about what that phrase really means, and how Bri’s personal healing has been...

Boundaries can feel intimidating, especially when they involve the people we love most. But the more I’ve learned to set them, the more I’ve realized: boundaries aren’t walls, they’re bridges back to ourselves.

In this episode, I’m diving into one of the most transformative shifts for me personally: learning to set and uphold boundaries. Over the past year, I’ve had to draw more boundaries than ever, particularly in close relationsh...

For so much of my life, I believed I had to do more or be more to be worthy of love, success, or even rest. But the truth is this: we are already enough just as we are.

In this episode, I’m sharing how my personal growth journey led me from childhood patterns of feeling not-enough to a deeper sense of self-acceptance (that I still work on). We’ll talk about how personal growth isn’t about becoming worthy - it’s about remembering tha...

We’re not meant to bloom year-round - and yet, so many of us feel the pressure to constantly produce, achieve, and stay "on." But what if peace is actually in the pause?

In this episode, I’m sharing how I’ve been learning to honor my natural rhythm - spiritually, emotionally, and biologically. I open up about the shifts I’ve made through therapy, especially around releasing the belief that rest is laziness or that producti...

Sometimes, the person who hurts our feelings...is us. Not because we mean to, but because we fall into old patterns - assuming the worst, people-pleasing to keep the peace, or comparing ourselves to everyone else’s highlight reel.

In this episode, I’m exploring the quiet, often unnoticed ways we end up hurting our own feelings - especially when we're acting from childhood conditioning or projecting stories onto situations witho...

In this first guest episode, I’m joined by someone very close to my heart: my husband, Jack. This conversation is full of reflection and a look into how we’ve grown both individually and together since we were teenagers.

We talk about Jack’s experience growing up as the youngest sibling, what school was like for him, and the moments he might approach differently if he had the chance. We also share the story of how our relationship b...

Finding your people - those you feel safe, seen, and supported by - can feel both deeply fulfilling and incredibly vulnerable. The truth is, we don’t attract what we want...we attract what we are.

In this episode, I’m exploring what it really means to call in meaningful relationships and how the way we care for ourselves shapes the connections we draw in. I’ll share practical reflections on identifying what you value in friendship, ...

Sometimes we don’t need a major breakthrough - we just need a moment to come home to ourselves.

In this episode, I’m sharing simple yet meaningful ways to reconnect with what really matters: your body, your relationships, the earth, and the space around you. These are practices that have helped me slow down and re-center when life feels loud or distracting.

We’ll explore how these small, intentional moments can anchor you in gratitud...

I’ve spent a lot of time diving into the self-help world - books, podcasts, courses, all of it. And while there’s a lot of wisdom out there, I’ve also seen how easy it is to get overwhelmed or start chasing “fixes” that pull us further from our own truth.

In this episode, I’m sharing the biggest DOs and DON’Ts I’ve picked up along the way, and why your own intuition will always be more valuable than any checklist or advice. We’ll ta...

So much of personal growth gets framed around learning - new habits, tools, mindsets - but some of the most powerful shifts come from unlearning what was never ours to begin with.

In this episode, I’m diving into the difference between learning and unlearning, and how both can shape our healing in very different ways. I share a visual that’s helped me deeply: how learning is like climbing a mountain, while unlearning is like digging...

If you've ever felt like you needed to have it all together before starting something new, you're in good company. We live in a world that glorifies perfection, but I believe the real magic happens when we show up as we are, even when it's messy or feels incomplete.

In this very first episode, I’m opening the door to what this space is all about - why I created it, what “Lighthouse Within” means to me, and h...
