Reframing Me - Self-Development & Parenting Teens for Midlife Moms

Available NOW - listen to the free introductions of my NEW courses - Re: Identity and Re: Purpose - both are available now on the Kajabi app/website.Listen now Re: Identity click hereListen now Re: Purpose click hereThank you so much for being here!!I saw a post that said how people often make the mistake of expecting our friends to fill all of our friend needs, when really, the happiest people recognize that our friends each represent a piece of our identity. Recently, I was lucky enough to have all three of my closest friends together. It made me realize how different friends often represent different parts of our identity and life journey.While childhood, college, and early parenthood naturally create opportunities for connection through proximity and shared experiences, midlife friendships require much more intention. As children grow up, careers evolve, and life becomes busier, many of the structures that once made friendship effortless begin to disappear.The episode examines the difference between quantity and quality in relationships, challenges the pressure created by social media's portrayal of friendship, and reminds listeners that there is no single "right" way to build community. Whether you have one close friend, a large friend group, or are still searching for deeper connections, meaningful relationships are built through vulnerability, consistency, and a willingness to reach out.Ultimately, this is a conversation about being seen, supported, and remembered. It is a reminder that the people who walk beside us through life's transitions become keepers of our stories and help us stay connected to who we are, even as we continue to grow and change.

Send us Fan MailThank you for being here! I saw a message I wanted to share - the monks who have been walking for peach across the U.S. reached Washington D.C. today! I saw a speech one gave where his message was to "Clean the mirror right away," and I think it's a valuable one to bring into today. Thank you for listening and being part of this community!

Send us Fan MailThis episode explores why disagreement feels so much heavier right now - and why so many conflicts aren’t actually about beliefs, but about how people process information, emotion, and threat.Using the current news cycle as a stress test, I explain how people with shared values can react in completely different ways without one of them being apathetic or wrong and why that confusion is exhausting and damaging to relationships.We look at common processing and communication styles, how they get misread as indifference or overreaction, and why cognitive dissonance and moral load are hitting women especially hard right now. I also offer grounded, practical guidance for staying in relationship without silencing yourself and for showing up without turning away.The takeaway is simple: difference isn’t danger. Before you decide what someone’s reaction means, get curious about how they process.Thank you for listening and being part of this community! Let's get social.
