I’ve Got You Mama

Hey mama, Have you ever reached the end of a day and wondered where it went? You checked the boxes, answered the messages, drove the kids, handled the responsibilities, and somehow still felt like you never really arrived in your own life. I think a lot of us know what it feels like to be busy. The harder question is whether we're present. What happens when rushing becomes our default setting? When was the last time you sat down without immediately reaching for your phone or thinking about the next thing on your list? What are we missing when we're always moving toward what's next? And what if slowing down isn't actually about doing less, but about being more fully where we already are? In this conversation, I sit down with coach and yoga instructor Meg Kuhnle to talk about the cycle of rushing that so many women find themselves trapped in. We explore why slowing down can feel surprisingly uncomfortable, how rushing impacts our relationships and well-being, and what it looks like to create more presence in the middle of real life. If you've ever felt like life is moving faster than you can keep up with, I think you'll find encouragement and practical wisdom in this conversation. This episode is part of the I’ve Got You Mama podcast — a show for moms and women who want to care for their whole self, live with intention, and find joy without pressure or burnout.

Hey Mama, If you’ve ever felt discouraged by yourself — like you should be further along by now — this episode is for you. Maybe you’ve noticed old patterns resurface. Maybe you reacted in a way you wish you hadn’t, broke a promise to yourself, or felt that familiar wave of shame creep in just when you thought you were doing better. And instead of meeting yourself with understanding, you found yourself turning inward with criticism or pressure. If that sounds familiar, there’s nothing wrong with you. In this episode, we talk about the place where self-love is often tested the most — not when things are going well, but when growth feels messy, slow, or uncomfortable. We explore questions like: What do you do with yourself when you make a mistake? Do you stay, or do you abandon yourself emotionally? Why does shame feel like motivation even though it leaves us stuck? How can you relate to your past, present, and future self with more honesty and compassion? And what changes when you stop trying to punish yourself into becoming better? This conversation matters because growth is not linear — and learning how to stay with yourself through disappointment is what actually builds resilience and trust. Self-love isn’t proven by never struggling; it’s revealed by whether you remain in relationship with yourself when things feel hard.

Hey mama, If you’ve ever felt tired of pushing yourself — tired of correcting, motivating, or trying to “do better” all the time — this episode is for you. Maybe you’re doing a lot of things right, but something still feels heavy or unsupported. Maybe you notice how naturally compassion flows toward everyone else, yet how hard it can be to offer that same kindness to yourself. Or maybe the idea of self-love sounds nice, but also confusing, uncomfortable, or even a little selfish in this season of your life. If any of that feels familiar, you’re not doing anything wrong. In this episode, we slow things down and gently explore what self-love actually means in real life — not as indulgence or perfection, but as the relationship you live inside of every single day. We talk about the quiet questions many women carry: What kind of relationship do I have with myself when things are hard? Do I feel supported by my inner voice — or constantly corrected? Why does being kind to myself feel harder than being kind to others? Where did I learn to motivate myself with pressure instead of care? And what might shift if my relationship with myself felt safer and more steady? This conversation matters because the way you treat yourself shows up everywhere — in your energy, your choices, your relationships, and your ability to experience joy without burning out. Being hard on yourself doesn’t mean you’re broken; often it means you learned how to survive by pushing. This episode offers a different way — one rooted in safety, support, and trust instead of pressure. This episode is part of the I’ve Got You Mama podcast — a show for moms and women who want to care for their whole self, live with intention, and find joy without pressure or burnout.

Hey mama, If you’ve ever worried that choosing rest will make you fall behind or if choosing growth means you’re setting yourself up for burnout, you’re not alone. I’m really glad you’re here. Do you ever feel like you want to move forward… but you’re already tired?Like part of you wants to stretch, learn, and become more, while another part of you is craving margin, quiet, and a chance to breathe? What if it’s not an either/or?What if growth and rest were never meant to compete, but to carry each other? In this episode, I’m sitting down with my friend and doodle coach, Michelle Keil, for an honest, grounding conversation about how growth and self-care can actually exist together even in full, demanding seasons of life. We talk about the difference between performance-driven growth and becoming-focused growth, why self-care doesn’t have to be one more thing on your to-do list, and how slowing down might actually be the fastest way forward. This episode is part of the I’ve Got You Mama podcast - a show for moms and women who want to care for their whole self, live with intention, and find joy without pressure or burnout. This conversation is for women (especially moms) who still want to grow but don’t want to lose themselves in the process. My hope is that you walk away feeling encouraged, steadied, and reminded that you don’t have to choose between rest and forward movement.

Hey mama! If you’ve ever found yourself reflecting on a season of growth and thinking, “That changed me more than I realized,” this episode is for you. Today’s conversation is about intentional reflection — not comparison — and learning how to carry wisdom forward without dragging old patterns with us. Have you been through a season that stretched you — and you’re not quite sure what to take with you into what’s next? Do you ever feel like you’re growing, but still unsure how to move forward without burning out? Have you wondered whether rest, joy, and progress can actually coexist? Do you want to design a life that lights you up — without abandoning yourself in the process? In this episode of the I’ve Got You Mama podcast, I’m reflecting out loud on what I’m intentionally taking with me into a new season — and what I’m choosing to leave behind. This episode is part of the I’ve Got You Mama podcast — a show for moms and women who want to care for their whole self, live with intention, and find joy without pressure or burnout. I share lessons around saying yes before feeling ready, trusting joy as a guide, understanding the body and nervous system, redefining rest, and learning how to grow without crashing. This conversation is honest, grounded, and deeply human — focused on becoming wiser and more intentional as we move forward, not doing more or pushing harder.
