  • Why You’re Not Going After What You Want
    Mar 20 2026

    In this episode, I’m sharing a bit about the season I’m currently in and how it’s reflecting the same patterns I’m seeing with my clients.

    I also talk about the truth behind feeling “stuck,” why you probably already know what you want, and what actually gets in the way of going after it.

    Lastly, I'm opening up a few 1:1 coaching spots, beginning in April. Apply here.

  • Who Gets to Heal? Access, Equity, and the Fight for Eating Disorder Care with Akiera Holloway-Gilbert
    Feb 26 2026

    For National Eating Disorder Awareness Week (NEDA), we’re going beyond awareness and into accountability.

    Today’s guest, Akiera Holloway-Gilbert, is a national speaker, mental health leader, and CEO of Project HEAL, the leading U.S. organization dedicated to equitable mental healthcare for people struggling with eating disorders. Under her leadership, Project HEAL has delivered millions of dollars in services, including free treatment placement for individuals who otherwise would not have access to care. Her work has been recognized by outlets like Forbes, Fortune, TIME, NBC, Refinery29, CNN, Yahoo, and The Washington Post.

    Before stepping into her current role, Akiera founded Body Reborn to support BIPOC communities navigating mental health challenges. She also serves as a Board Member of the Eating Disorders Coalition, advancing federal mental health legislation and fighting for systemic change.

    In our convo, we talk about what it means to lead in close proximity to suffering.
    How access to care is shaped by race, class, and policy. The emotional weight of advocating for change in systems that resist it. And how to hold rigor and humanity at the same time.

    This episode is about justice, who gets to be seen and what real healing requires, both individually and collectively.

    I’m also introducing No More Sunday Scaries, a free weekly space where we slow down, regulate the nervous system, and intentionally enter the week ahead together.

  • No More Sunday Scaries: Why the Week Feels Hard Before It Starts
    Feb 12 2026

    In this solo episode, I’m breaking down why Sunday Scaries aren’t a mindset problem or a motivation issue, but a nervous system response to how our weeks are structured and what they require from us. We’ll talk about anticipatory overwhelm, why “figuring it out” often keeps us stuck in survival mode, and what actually helps when your body is already bracing for what’s ahead.

    I also share why so many capable, thoughtful women — especially mothers — start the week depleted, and how preparing differently can change the way the week feels without adding more to your plate.
