On the Live The Width of Your Life podcast, we explore what it means to not only live the length of our life but instead the breadth, depth, and purpose of each day.
She shares her personal story of creating balance in her life by aligning her daily choices to life values, strategies to redefine success, and creating space for a bit of magic and synchronicity.
It's never too late to change! We don't need to have it all figured out to begin; we can take action daily, show up imperfectly, and be amazed and inspired by how beautiful life can be.

If the new year feels overwhelming, rushed, or heavy, this solo episode offers a different way to begin. Instead of jumping into goal setting, productivity, or resolutions, I invite you to slow down and create space for alignment, clarity, and intentional living.
In this episode, I share why most goals fail, not because of a lack of discipline, but because they are built on top of a life that no longer fits. We explore burnout, misalignment, nervous system regulation, and how real beginnings are rooted in awareness and safety, not hustle.
This conversation is for anyone craving a slower, more grounded start to the year, especially if success looks good on the outside but feels disconnected on the inside.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why goal setting fails when it’s built on misalignment
How burnout often appears after success, not before
The difference between motivation problems and capacity problems
Why nervous system safety is essential for clarity and focus
How to begin the year with presence, alignment, and intention
This is perfect for: Anyone navigating burnout, transition, personal growth, intentional living, nervous system healing, or seeking alignment in work and life.
Reflection & Journaling Exercise:
Where in my life do I feel compressed or rushed?
What am I ready to set down, not because it’s wrong, but because it no longer fits?
If I created more space this year, what might naturally emerge?
