Two nights in a row.
3:43 AM on the dot.
My brain has impeccable timing when it comes to scheduling impromptu crisis meetings about everything that's currently going sideways in my life.
Like an internal alarm clock specifically calibrated for maximum inconvenience—because why would you process life's challenges during reasonable daylight hours when you could host a full mental breaking down of life at 4 AM?
Today's episode dives into that familiar territory we all know too well: the place where our minds go when there are no errands to run, kids to bus around, or busywork to distract us. It knows we’re a trapped audience at 4 am, so why not have at it by ruminating over all the things?
And we convince ourselves this rumination is actually a productive habit—we're working on something, after all—but really, we're just trying to fix a leaky faucet by staring at it really hard.
So, how do we stop being captive audiences to our own 4 AM brain theater and start creating the change we want?
We do something different… obviously.
Something our brain fights against and our ego fashions its favorable armor for.
Today, it’s about teaching our brains to tune into possibilities instead of probabilities. And we do that by transforming chaos into peace.
If you’d like to avoid the mental quicksand that is your usual approach to problem-solving, listen in to today’s podcast!

If you’re new here, welcome to my heart-focused, woo-casual, shamelessly optimistic, fitness accountability bandwagon where we slow down and allow space in your day for the ‘real YOU’ to feel witnessed + worthy… not to mention vibrantly healthy!
This isn’t a “newsletter” filled with stale fitness and wellness advice, or trending fads that promise beach-ready bods in just two weeks…
… this is a love letter to the real YOU who, in your 40+ years of living, knows that to age fiercely means you can…
Lift heavy things (like your expectations, your standards, and occasionally actual weights) and feel how it gets more satisfying with age.
Deflate your old, farty narratives—they’re starting to smell like blue cheese
Know that taking care of yourself is no longer “optional”
Deprive yourself of negativity, not pizza
Workout for the endorphins, not the scale
My purpose is to help you get to that point where you surprise yourself and say out loud with a voice of victory, I can’t believe I just did that!!!!! I can tell you from experience, it’s even better than binge-watching bad TV on a Sunday morning.
Something about this hitting home for you?
If any of this resonates and you're thinking "God, yes, I need someone who gets it," shoot me a message. I'm taking on a few new accountability partners, and honestly? The conversations alone are worth it. We can chat for 20 minutes and see if this feels like the right fit.
