Episode 135
Tuesday, December 23, 2025 ⢠Duration 32:31
In this honest solo episode, Iâm pulling back the curtain on a personal decision I wrestled with for months: getting an upper blepharoplasty. If youâve ever looked in the mirror and felt unsure about whether itâs okay to want a change (especially as a mom or role model), this episode is for you.
I walk through what the surgery is, why I chose to do it now, and how I reconciled that decision with my desire to model confidence and self-love for my daughter.

133. Keeping Rodeo Relevant with Tiah DeGrofft
Episode 133
Tuesday, December 9, 2025 ⢠Duration 35:23
This week, Iâm joined by Tiah DeGrofft, the first-ever female president of the iconic Pendleton Round-Up.

In this episode, we talk about the depth of community behind the Pendleton Round-Up, what it really takes to run a legacy event, and the leadership lessons Tiah has learned along the way.

We also dive into her favorite rodeos, what every event can do to create a memorable experience, and how women can relentlessly pursue big dreams without giving up their seat at the table.

132. When Is It Okay to Quit?
Episode 132
Tuesday, December 2, 2025 ⢠Duration 23:25
In this solo episode, Iâm talking about something most of us wrestle with at some point: when is it okay to quit? Whether itâs a book, a job, a goal, or a season of life, knowing when to push through and when to let go isnât always clear, and itâs something Iâve been navigating personally.
I share the story of a book that triggered way more introspection than I expected, and how that led to deeper questions around alignment, identity, and even whether I still want to say yes to speaking gigs.Â
This is a conversation about redefining what resilience looks like, checking in with your gut, and giving yourself permission to pivot, even if it means walking away from something you once wanted.
