18. Burn It Down, Build It Softer: The Hard Reset

Coming at you straight from my backyard—with dog in tow and a little messy hair energy—I’m letting you in on how I’ve been moving differently lately.

Somewhere between chronic illness, mom life, entrepreneurship, and my nervous system screaming “girl, sit down,” I realized the old me wasn’t cutting it anymore. And honestly? Good.

In this episode, I talk about:

🧡 Why the glow-up isn’t just aesthetics—it’s permission to burn it all down

🧡 How I stopped chasing old goals and started choosing peace (and naps)

🧡 The messy, beautiful art of reinventing yourself at your own pace

🧡 Why asking for help was my ultimate flex

You don’t owe anyone—including your past self—the old version of you. This is your permission slip to start over, softer and unapologetic.
