Sure, July 4th is about America’s independence — but let’s talk about yours. In this episode, I kick things off with a little history (because yes, I was a history major), then dive into a personal pattern I’m ready to break up with.

We talk loneliness disguised as connection, why I’ve initiated (and ended) every relationship but one, and how declaring emotional independence is a process — not a parade. So fire up the grill, put on your crown of self-awareness, and let’s talk about the freedom that really matters: the kind that starts within.

In this week's episode, I had the absolute honor of sitting down with someone who’s as real as they come — Aaron Davis. You might know him as a keynote speaker, cancer survivor, national champion from Nebraska’s legendary 1994 football team, or simply the guy who walks into a room and makes everyone believe they’re capable of more.

What you might not know is just how deeply Aaron’s story lands — not only because of what he’s overcome, but because of the way he shares it. He’s honest about the dark moments, generous with the wisdom he’s earned, and committed to helping others find the light — even when it feels heavy.

In this conversation, we dig into resilience, faith, failure, leadership, and what it really means to show up — for yourself and for the people around you. Whether you’re navigating a hard season or just need a reminder of what you’re made of, this one’s for you.

This week, I’m handing the mic over to… you. I asked for your questions, and let’s just say y’all did not hold back. In this episode, I answer everything from the thoughtful to the hilarious to the mildly uncomfortable (growth happens in the discomfort, right?!). It’s unfiltered, a little all over the place, and very on brand.

Becoming a mom inside the NICU isn’t something you plan for - and yet, it’s where many of us start our motherhood journey. In this episode, I sit down with Stasi Grenfell, a recent NICU mom, entrepreneur, and founder of HERStage, to talk about what it’s really like. Her experience was expected; mine were surprises and over a decade ago. We talk about the emotions that come with it, the fear, the guilt, the strength you don’t know you have, and the parts people don’t usually say out loud. Whether you’ve lived it or want to better understand it, this conversation is about being honest, staying present, and finding yourself in one of life’s hardest seasons.

In this deeply personal solo episode, I’m sharing the part of my story that’s often whispered about but rarely spoken out loud - the unraveling of my marriage, my experience with infidelity, and what it’s taken to rebuild from the inside out.

This episode isn’t about justifying decisions or seeking sympathy. It’s about radical honesty, the weight of shame, the complexity of healing, and how we find our way forward when everything feels broken. I talk about what led me to a place I never thought I’d be, why I struggled to communicate in my relationship, and what I’ve learned through the aftermath - about intuition, identity, accountability, and the power of becoming more than the labels society gives us.

Whether you’ve walked a similar path or just need to hear that you’re not alone in your mess, I hope this episode meets you with compassion and truth. Because we are not defined by our worst decisions - we are shaped by how we choose to grow from them.

This is becoming. Unfiltered, unpolished, and fully human.

In this episode of Fearlessly Becoming, I sit down with my ex-husband, Aaron, for a raw and honest conversation about our marriage, divorce, and the journey of co-parenting over the past five years. We talk about the hard stuff - decisions, growth, healing - and how we've worked to build a relationship rooted in honesty, respect, and the well-being of our kids. It’s not about blame or drama, but about becoming better - for ourselves and our family. Whether you're navigating a similar chapter or simply curious about what healing after heartbreak can look like, this one’s for you.

Welcome to the very first episode of Fearlessly Becoming! On today's episode, it’s just you and me. I’m sharing a bit of my story—the messy, beautiful, real parts that led me here—and laying the foundation for what this podcast is all about. We’ll talk about why becoming isn’t a destination, why doing it fearlessly matters, and what you can expect from future episodes. Get cozy, buckle up, and let’s dive in.
