Be the Safe Person (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This one is for the people who love someone who is struggling and do not know what to say. And for the person who is struggling and has not yet found someone safe enough to say it to. This week we are getting practical. What does it actually look like to show up for someone who is in a dark place? What do you say? What do you not say? What makes someone feel heard versus what makes them pull away and go quiet? I am answering this from the inside. From the perspective of someone who has been the
The Silence We Inherited (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We are in September- Suicide Awareness Month. And I have to be honest with you. I did not plan this. I recorded last week's episode without even knowing what month it was. And when I found out... I just had a moment of pure awe. That is God. Not me. So we are spending the whole month talking about mental health. And today I want to start at the beginning.

This week I am sharing the story of the month my husband booked a one way flight to be with his father during a health crisis- and what it was like to be left behind. Not knowing how long he would be gone. Not feeling like a perfectly healthy person. Not knowing how I was going to do it. What followed was thirty days of grief, soap making, junk food with my aunt, urgent care runs, and a community that checked on me every single da
The Red Day (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This one is for anyone who has ever had a day where everything that could go wrong did. And then the patio door shattered. This week I am sharing the story of one of my hardest days in a long time. A red day in my trading community that sent me into a full ugly cry spiral. The shame voice that told me my community hated me. The moment I had to choose between performing perfect and being human. And what happened at the end of the day that reminded me God always has the last word. This is not just
