is about to get very real…. And I can’t wait to share everything with you! Who do you think I’ll ask first?

Is January inherently the worst? 😑 Feeling overwhelmed, overstimulated, and that the next few weeks are going to be the worst?

January can feel heavy with sickness, post-holiday blues, and those long, cold days. But what if I told you this month could actually be your best yet?

Let’s flip the script and remember that the name of a month doesn’t define our life. This is the perfect time to make plans, reconnect with loved ones, and focus on what truly matters. Remember, happiness often comes from having something to look forward to 💯.

What are your plans for this month? Share them with me below!

If the idea of setting goals for 2026 makes you feel tired, behind, or quietly pressured to become a “better version” of yourself—this episode is for you.

In this 12-minute conversation, licensed therapist and author Rachel Elmore shares a spiritually grounded, emotionally healthy approach to goal-setting—one that doesn’t rely on hustle, shame, or self-abandonment.

Instead of pushing harder or fixing yourself, this episode invites you to slow down, tell the truth about the season you’re in, and set goals that honor your nervous system, your values, and your faith.

This is goal-setting for millennial women who are done white-knuckling growth and ready for something more sustainable.

In this episode, we talk about:
• Why traditional goal-setting often leads to burnout and discouragement
• How to name the season you’re actually in (and why it matters spiritually)
• The difference between outcome goals and alignment goals
• How to set goals that include your nervous system—not ignore it
• Why consistency beats intensity every time
• How to choose one brave, gentle goal for 2026 that you can actually sustain

Well, this is terrifying. 🙃

I’ve felt God nudging me to do this since 2023… and after holding onto the feeling, praying over it, and honestly doubting myself a million times, it’s finally happening. My podcast is officially coming to life, and I already have two episodes recorded! 🎙️

This show has been brewing in my heart for so long because I want to create a space that’s real, honest, and healing—where we talk about life, emotions, growth, and faith without the pressure to be perfect. I’ll be sharing the wisdom I’ve gathered as a therapist, a mom, and just a human trying to navigate it all.

I can’t wait to bring you guests, conversations, and stories that will challenge, encourage, and maybe even make you feel a little less alone. And here’s the exciting part—I’m already looking for incredible voices to interview. If you feel called to share your story, your expertise, or your heart, DM me or email me, and let’s make it happen!

This is a dream that’s been years in the making, and I’m so grateful to finally step into it. I can’t wait to share this journey with all of you. 💛

I’m about to say something y’all do not want to hear…
But hear me out. 👀
(Please know, I dreaded to post this).
It might be possible— just maybe—that moms are the ones ruining Christmas.
(as well as other factors).
Not because we’re doing anything “wrong,” but because we’re doing too much.
We set the tone in the house. We decide whether the season feels magical or miserable. And sometimes the pressure, the perfectionism, the “make it special or it doesn’t count” energy… it steals the joy right out of December.

Our kids don’t need a flawless Christmas.
They need a mom who’s present, not panicked.
A mom who laughs, not lists.
A mom who lets the magic be simple.

This year, I’m choosing peace over perfection—because the truth is, the tone of this whole season starts with us. 🎄 •

First- I’ve missed y’all, but I’m back!

Now- let’s talk about triggers.
They’re not exactly bad or good — they’re your body’s way of saying, “Hey, something feels off.”

Some triggers are there to keep you safe.
Others… are just old alarms that haven’t realized the danger is over.

When you start to understand which is which, you begin to feel more peace — not because life stops being hard, but because you stop feeling hijacked by it.

It’s not about getting rid of triggers.
It’s about updating the system. 💛

Overstimulated? That might be an understatement 😵‍💫. If that’s you, keep reading.

Did you know that your environment impacts your anxiety? Next time you’re feel overwhelmed or anxious, an overstimulated environment probably isn’t helping. Maybe it’s the witching hours between dinner and bedtime, when you’re phone is still full of unread text messages from the day, the kitchen is full of dirty dishes, and maybe you can’t totally tell if your kids are passionately playing, whining, or arguing over the noise the TV is making.
It’s all just a lot! And y’all, it’s making your anxiety worse!
Next time you feel overwhelmed try taking these three steps:
Check your environment, what is stimulating your senses? Is your phone stressing you out? Or is there a toy your baby is playing with that is making a lot of noise? Identify those things!
Find one thing you can turn off. Once you figure out what is causing dysregulation, turn something off. Maybe it’s your phone or maybe it’s taking that loud toy and putting it up on a high shelf.
Take 3 big, deep breaths and start to regulate your nervous system.
