Episode 34 Kindness in Scrubs

Today, I want to talk about something many of us deal with regularly: healthcare visits. More specifically, the people who work in healthcare—receptionists, nurses, doctors—the ones who can make or break our experience. I had a checkup this week that reminded me of this. Let's celebrate the good ones, the helpers among us who made a big difference in our lives. They're the folks who help us stay healthy and steady in a world that can feel anything but steady.

Episode 33 Let Others Help You

It takes courage to receive help. Letting others support us is just as important as offering help ourselves. This episode is inspired by Brené Brown’s The Gifts of Imperfection. We dive into the hidden emotional armor we carry, the shame behind self-sufficiency, and how refusing help can quietly weaken our relationships.
Today, I'll invite you to embrace vulnerability, deepen connection, and experience the joy of shared humanity.

Episode 29 Big Sister Bigger Heart

When I think about the people who’ve quietly served me, my sister Laura always comes to mind. From using her babysitting money to take us swimming, to helping me pay off debt, to caring for our parents for years—she’s given more than I can ever repay. This episode is a thank-you to her and a reminder that love is often quiet.

Episode 28 If I Could, I Would — And This Time, I Did

It’s easy to say, ‘I’d help if I could.’ But sometimes, the chance to help is right in front of us — small, simple, and possible. In this episode, I share a story about a $25 copay, a quiet decision, and the reminder that kindness doesn’t have to be big to matter. Sometimes, the good we can do is right within reach.
