‘Watch’: A Letter to My Fear, Grief and Hidden Parts
Season 1 · Episode 24
Wednesday, November 4, 2026 • Duration 16:27
In this episode of the podcast, Miranda reads her deeply personal 2026 Substack writing piece titled "Watch" for the very first time.
Written on January 1, 2026, and originally published on Substack (@itsmirandalee), this raw text serves as a snapshot of a woman moving through fear and learning to lean into the good and the hard, the strong and the soft. She opens up about navigating her own painful medical journey with a rare disease that had no cure, while simultaneously riding the emotional rollercoaster that came with her son's diagnosis right after getting her own.
In this short, Miranda shares the exhausting season of putting on a brave, smiling face for the world while quietly enduring her hardest moments in private. Moving past the pressure to stay strong, she chooses to embrace vulnerability and realize that her true power and resilience came from reclaiming, honoring, and embracing all of her parts. With this realization came a fierce defiance: the conscious decision that her story would be beautiful, regardless of the detours. She opens up about the profound, sometimes uncomfortable shifts in her marriage and her work that were absolutely necessary to support this new chapter, proving that choosing yourself requires shifting your mindset, setting boundaries, and rewriting the rules of your life and relationships.
Grab the tissues, open your heart, and allow yourself to feel and process whatever parts of this story land for you and resonate.

Why Relationships Mirror Your Internal Shit: How to Learn, Grow & Heal from Them
Season 1 · Episode 22
Wednesday, October 21, 2026 • Duration 01:58:05
Relationships function as powerful mirrors. While mainstream conversations often fixate on labeling dynamics as healthy, negative, or toxic, this episode shifts the focus to what our connections are actively reflecting back to us. Miranda explores how both our deepest bonds and our simple, day-to-day interactions can be used as tools to guide profound inner work, ultimately transforming the overall quality and impact of how we show up in the world.
Key Discussion Topics
The Inner Mirror: True connection begins from a place within. Relationships offer an immense opportunity to invite self-reflection, mirroring your internal struggles, highlighting unhealed wounds, and bringing your triggers and inner-child patterns directly to the surface so they can be tended to.
The Reality of Connection: It is time to drop the unrealistic expectation that relationships are always supposed to be easy, comfortable, and feel-good. The reality is that even the most challenging and friction-filled dynamics serve a vital purpose in our personal growth, evolutionary healing, and self-discovery.
The Blueprint of Inner Work: Lasting change always originates from within. A powerful place to begin this journey is by actively learning about your personal emotional wiring, identifying your foundational needs, and unpacking the underlying expectations you subconsciously carry into your connections.
Personal Accountability & Responsibility: Because human relationships have so many moving parts, it is easy to get lost in external blame. Ultimately, what remains firmly within our control is understanding what we are personally responsible for in managing our own well-being, ensuring our connections aren't just echo chambers for our unresolved issues.
The Power of Held Space: Miranda opens up about her personal journey of leaning into discomfort by placing herself in dedicated healing spaces alongside others. Immersing herself in these vulnerable, non-judgmental environments allowed her to meet her own humanness with deep support—a transformative experience that has become a core pillar of her mission to support others.
Navigating Relational Shifts: A deep dive into the real, unpredictable ways that relationships shift, evolve, and sometimes end. By exploring the contrasting perspectives on different sides of a dynamic, this segment highlights how dedicated inner work allows for greater acceptance, forgiveness, and emotional peace when the landscape of a relationship changes.

Stress Free Self Care: 13 Free Things We All 'Actually' Need
Season 1 · Episode 15
Wednesday, August 12, 2026 • Duration 01:12:24
In a world with so many trends, modalities, tools, gadgets, practices, and avenues to support your health, wellness and selfcare... its can sometimes feel overwhelming. And it can become an abundance of appointments, create a stressful list of 'things you need to do', a shame cycle if you don't, stretch you financially and start to feel like health and wellness can only come from external support and sources.
In this episode, Miranda dives into (even as a studio/gym owner, Holistic Practitioner, Yoga Teacher, and Life Coach herself), 13 FREE, back to basics, simple things you can do to care for self. And how important it is to let your intuition and gut be your guide. To allow pauses, shifts, breaks, and changes in direction. And to remember, you aren't a checklist. You aren't a routine that has to be kept the same and always followed to a T. And your needs are always changing.
We are all built from different cloth, with a different instruction manual that truly is only able to be read from our own inner guidance and wisdom. And in different seasons, we need different things. Sometimes more, and sometimes less. And that its beautiful to get guidance and support through training, other practitioners, and paid for services....but its also to go back to basics to reset.
Lets dive into bringing it back to some simple, free, easy and important things (13 of them to be exact) that are easy to sprinkle in starting today!
Take what you want, leave what you don't. Don't even try take them all in one day, because again, you aren't a to-do list! And...it's all within your reach...in fact, its part of your birth right.
Holistic Everything: A candid reflection on the easy, hard, and sometimes annoying parts of shifting their life to a more spiritual, holistic path. From herbs and nutritional changes to dry bathing and energy work, they dive into their honest opinions and personal experiences of living "off the beaten path."
The Nuance of Touch and Eye Contact: Intrigued—and at times irritated—by rigid societal expectations, Miranda shares her personal observations on eye contact, hugs, and physical touch. She explores her research into when these behaviors became culturally normalized, what they truly represent on a deeper soul level, and the messy reality of how they actually show up in everyday life.
Confronting the Inner Critic: Miranda discusses the parts of herself she must continually meet, acknowledge, and accept while navigating her own relationships post-healing. This ongoing work involves unlearning old behaviors, defense mechanisms, and societally enforced ways of acting. By shifting her perspective, she no longer feels the need to honor or validate protective masks and rigid social norms, choosing instead to show up in her connections with true authenticity.
Turning your passion into your profession comes with unique challenges. This topic tackles the harsh reality of instructor and professional burnout, particularly when your career is also your personal hobby and creative outlet. The episode highlights the importance of knowing when to step back from the "work" to protect and nurture your soul’s creative connection.
Choosing Yourself Through Family Struggles
One of the hardest parts of healing is recognizing when you have to prioritize your own well-being. This segment speaks candidly about the difficult reality of choosing yourself and your own path, even while watching a loved one navigate their own painful battles with grief and alcoholism.
Healing Has No Age Limit
Wisdom, growth, and self-discovery do not have an expiration date. This part of the conversation breaks down the misconception that deep personal growth only happens when we are young, emphasizing that it is never too late to start peeling back the layers, asking the hard questions, and getting to know yourself on a deeper level.
Trusting the Detour & Being "Built Different"
Walking an unconventional path outside the box is rarely easy, but it is deeply fulfilling. The episode looks at the necessary but incredibly tough decisions required to prioritize personal growth—decisions that demand taking a massive step back and completely trusting the process. Ultimately, it is a reflection on how to navigate these detours with the indispensable support of loved ones, both here in the physical world and present in spirit.
