To Help You Heal

Welcome back to To Help You Heal. This is the final episode in our four-part series on Building a Life You Love, and today we’re talking about what it means to choose purpose daily.

Here’s the truth: loving your life doesn’t mean loving every moment of it. Some seasons are messy, painful, and nothing like we imagined. But we can still create something meaningful right where we are—through the small, intentional choices we make each...

In this third episode of our four-part series on building a life you love—even in the hard seasons—we’re talking about the true, transformative power of gratitude. This isn’t about ignoring pain or slapping on toxic positivity. It’s about anchoring your heart to something real and good, even when life is far from perfect.

I'm also sharing how gratitude can shift not just your mindset, but your brain chemistry—boosting dopamine and ...

Episode Summary:

Welcome back to To Help You Heal! This is the second episode in our 4-part series on building a life you love, even in hard seasons. Last week, we explored the power of surrender, and today, we’re talking about something that shapes us more than we realize—the stories we tell ourselves.

So often, we don’t even notice the inner narrative shaping our expectations, emotions, and outlook. Whether it’s tied to pain, fea...

Episode Summary:

In this week’s episode, I’m sharing my heart on what it means to surrender—because it’s often the first (and hardest) step when life doesn’t go as planned. I’m reflecting on my own journey through loss and grief and how I learned that surrender isn’t giving up… it’s releasing what was never mine to carry. I finally found freedom and a new way forward when I finally let go. I hope this episode encourages you to do t...

This week on To Help You Heal, we’re diving into one of the most common questions I hear: How did you keep going?

The answer? Intentional choices.

In the aftermath of the Amish schoolhouse shooting, I learned that while so much was out of my control, I still had power—power in the choices I made every single day. Whether we’re facing grief, loss, or the hard things life throws our way, we can change our lives through small daily de...

Last week, we talked about turning pain into purpose—finding meaning in the struggles we’ve walked through. But what happens when you’re still in the middle of the hard season? When the road ahead feels uncertain, and you don’t know what comes next? That’s where perspective comes in.

This week, we’re diving into the power of perspective—how the way we see our circumstances can either hold us back or move us forward. Because while w...

Pain is something we all experience. Hardship can feel isolating, whether personal loss, unexpected struggles, or overwhelming seasons. But what if your pain could be a stepping stone to something greater?

In this episode of To Help You Heal, I'm talking about turning pain into purpose—not by ignoring the hurt, but by allowing it to shape us in ways that lead to impact. If you've ever wrestled with the "why" behind your hardships, ...

It's easy to feel inspired when you start something new—a goal, a routine, or a dream you're chasing. But what happens when the motivation fades?

This week on To Help You Heal, we're talking about what really keeps you moving forward when inspiration runs dry. Because here's the truth: motivation won't sustain you.

In this episode, we'll discuss:

• Why motivation fades (and why that's completely normal).
• The difference between m...

Do you ever feel like you should keep pushing, even when you're exhausted? Like rest is something you have to earnrather than a necessity? You're not alone.

In this episode of To Help You Heal, we're talking about why so many of us struggle to listen to our bodies—and how to shift the way we think about rest.

Why we ignore our need for rest From cultural conditioning to our own self-imposed expectations, we often believe rest equal...

Life doesn’t always feel calm and steady. Sometimes, it’s a whirlwind—one thing after another, leaving us overwhelmed and exhausted. If you’re in a season where the chaos is swirling and you don’t know how to move forward, this episode is for you.

This week, we’re talking about: ✨ How to stop trying to control what’s out of your hands ✨ Why prioritizing rest and self-care isn’t selfish—it’s essential ✨ A simple exercise to sort thr...

Have you ever found it easier to believe in the possibility of good things for others but struggled to see that for yourself? This week, we're diving into why it's so hard to believe in goodness for our lives—especially if you've experienced seasons of hardship, loss, or disappointment.

In this episode, I'll help you understand:

✨ Why our brains focus on the struggle and what we can do about it

✨ The role of confirmation bias in ke...

In this episode of To Help You Heal, we’re tackling a mindset shift that can change everything: learning to love the process instead of fixating on the outcome. Whether you’re working toward a goal, navigating a tough season, or trying to build better habits, falling in love with the day-to-day actions can keep you motivated and help you experience growth in a whole new way.

Too often, we give up because we expect instant results, ...

What do you do when life feels out of your control? When circumstances don’t go the way you’d hoped, and you’re left feeling stuck, frustrated, or overwhelmed?

In this week’s episode of To Help You Heal, we’re talking about how to move forward—even when it feels like nothing is working. It’s not about fixing everything at once (or waiting for life to magically change)—it’s about finding small, meaningful ways to rise above the hard...

In this week’s episode of To Help You Heal, we’re continuing the conversation about starting the new year with intention. While it’s natural to focus on what we want more of, we often overlook an equally important question: What do I want less of?

Clearing out the clutter—whether it’s physical, mental, or emotional—creates space for growth, clarity, and peace. 

In This Episode, We’ll Explore:

• The importance of focusing on what...

Welcome to the first episode of To Help You Heal in 2025! As we step into a new year, many of us are making resolutions and setting goals—but how often do those plans fall apart by February, leaving us feeling discouraged?

In this episode, I’m offering a new approach: What if we focused less on the outcomes we want and more on creating a life we love—day by day?

In This Episode:

• Why traditional goal-setting often leads to frus...

As we close out 2024 and look ahead to 2025, this episode is all about reflection—an opportunity to pause, process, and learn from the year we’re leaving behind. Whether you’re eager to move into the new year or hesitant to let go of 2024, there’s value in taking a moment to look back.

In this episode, I share:

• Three powerful reflection questions to help you process what worked, what didn’t, and how you grew this year.

Welcome to week three of our grief series. Over the past two weeks, we’ve explored grief, the misconceptions that can make it more complicated, and why we can’t simply push it away. This week, we’re shifting focus to the path to healing and how grief, while painful, can also be a journey of discovery.

In this episode, I invite you to:

• See grief as more than a journey of loss—it’s also a journey of finding new meaning.

Welcome to week two of our four-part series on grief. Last week, we discussed grief, what it looks like, and why it feels so hard. This week, we’re tackling a different but equally important topic: misconceptions about grief—the things people say, or we tell ourselves that can make the grieving process even more challenging.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

• Common misconceptions about grief, like “time heals all wounds” and “yo...
