Ep. 54: The Cost of Being the Fixer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you're the person who notices the problem, steps in first, and figures out what everyone else needs, this episode may feel very familiar. Renée shares a conversation with her sister, Stephanie, about the family "dance" of fixing, helping, rescuing, and being needed—and what can happen when we begin learning new steps. They talk about parenting adult children, control, guilt, letting people struggle, and the uncomfortable question underneath it all: Who am I when I'm not the one fixing it? Thi
Ep. 53: Dolly and the Possibility of More (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Dolly Parton's nephew shared the words, "Dolly never saw a door she could not open," it struck a chord in my heart. In this episode, I'm reflecting on what Dolly represented to me as a little girl, what I see differently now, and how easy it is to let "being realistic" slowly turn into limiting what we believe is possible.

Ep. 52: You Can Change Your Mind Without Betraying Your Past Self (opens the original)

We'll talk about changing your mind without mak
Ep. 51: Before You Take It Personally (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sometimes it's not what someone did that hurts us most. It's the story we create about what it meant. In this episode of Fearless in Pursuit of HappyHer , I'm sharing a real situation where I filled in missing information, got hurt and defensive, and almost treated my first interpretation like a fact. We'll talk about how quickly our brains create stories when we don't have the whole picture, why those stories can feel so believable, and how to pause long enough to ask: What do I actually know?
Ep. 50: When Did the Plan Become a Rule? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You make a plan. It feels good. You chose it. You wanted it. But somewhere along the way, that plan can quietly turn into something else—something you should do, have to do, or are supposed to do. So when does a choice become a rule? In this episode of Fearless in Pursuit of HappyHer , I'm wrapping up my Making Space series with a conversation about plans, expectations, changing your mind, and what it looks like to leave room for the life you're actually living. Because maybe making space isn't
