Episode 14: What Confidence Really Is — And Why It Doesn’t Come First
Hey mama, Have you ever found yourself thinking, “I’ll do that when I feel more confident”… and then realizing weeks (or even months) have gone by and you’re still in the same place? Not because you don’t care… but because you don’t quite feel ready yet. I wonder—what if you’ve been taught to think about confidence in a way that’s quietly keeping you stuck? What if the version of confidence you’ve been waiting for isn’t actually the kind that helps you move forward? And what if nothing has gone wrong… you’ve just been waiting for something that was never meant to come first? In this episode, we’re gently shifting that understanding. We’re talking about what confidence really is—and how it’s not something you need to have before you begin, but something that’s built because you begin. What would change if you stopped asking, “Do I feel ready?” and instead asked, “Am I willing to trust myself to handle what comes with this?” Where might you already be more capable than you’ve been giving yourself credit for? And what feeling might you be trying to avoid that’s actually the doorway to growth? This isn’t about forcing yourself to be fearless or becoming someone completely different. It’s about becoming someone who stays. Someone who stays with herself in the discomfort, in the uncertainty, and in the growth—and builds confidence from that place. You’re not behind. You’re not missing something. You’re just learning a new way to move forward. And you’re in the right place. 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.

Episode 13 - The Hidden Cost of “Should”
Hey mama, Have you ever caught yourself moving through your day feeling a quiet pressure you can’t quite name… like there’s an invisible list you’re trying to keep up with? The kind where you’re anticipating needs, holding things together, remembering everything, and still wondering why it doesn’t feel like enough? And if you slowed down for even a moment, would something fall apart… or would that just be a story you’ve been carrying for a long time? Maybe you’ve noticed how often that word “should” shows up in your thoughts — in how you parent, how you show up for others, how you take care of yourself. Should you be more patient? Should you be doing more? Should you be handling this better than you are? And when you hear those thoughts, do they feel grounding… or do they feel heavy, like pressure sitting just beneath the surface of your day? This episode is an invitation to gently look at those invisible expectations — not to judge them, but to notice them. Because what if some of the things you’ve been carrying were never actually yours to hold? And what if the exhaustion you’ve been feeling isn’t because you’re doing it wrong… but because you’ve been living inside a set of expectations that were never meant to define you? As you listen, I want you to simply get curious. Where in your life are you operating from “should”… instead of choice? What feels aligned right now in this season… and what feels tight, pressured, or draining? And what might change if you trusted yourself just a little more than the expectations you’ve been following? You don’t have to solve anything today. You don’t have to fix yourself or figure it all out. Just noticing is enough. Just being honest with yourself is enough. You are not behind. You are not doing it wrong. You’re learning how to come back to yourself — and that matters more than getting everything “right.” 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.

Episode 12 - The Missing Piece in Midlife Health: Energy, Hormones, and Feeling Like Yourself Again
Hey mama, Have you ever had one of those moments where you just pause and think… something feels off? Not in a dramatic, something-is-wrong way. But in a quiet, harder-to-explain way. Like you’re more tired than you used to be… your mind doesn’t feel as clear… your body doesn’t quite respond the way it once did. And maybe you’ve wondered—Is this just part of getting older? Or why does everything look “fine” on paper, but not feel fine in my life? If you’ve been feeling that disconnect, you’re not alone—and you’re not imagining it. In this episode, I sit down with Krystin Coburn to talk about something that doesn’t always get enough attention in the conversation around women’s health: what’s happening beneath the surface when it comes to your energy, your metabolism, and how your body is functioning day to day. What if the issue isn’t that you’re doing something wrong… but that your body is asking for a different kind of support? What if the goal isn’t to push harder… but to understand more? What if feeling better didn’t require starting over, but simply shifting how you’re approaching things? And what if your body isn’t broken—but trying to communicate with you in a way you haven’t been taught to hear yet? This conversation isn’t about pressure or perfection. It’s about awareness, possibility, and beginning to reconnect with your body in a way that feels supportive instead of frustrating. You’re not behind. You’re not doing it wrong. And you’re definitely not alone in this. You’re in the right place.

Episode 11: Clutter Isn’t Just About Stuff: An Interview with Decluttering Coach Rachelle Heywood
Hi Mama! Have you ever looked around your home and felt overwhelmed… but also unsure where to even begin? Like no matter how many times you clean, organize, or reset… it never quite stays that way? For a lot of women—especially moms—clutter isn’t just about stuff. It’s the constant decision-making. The unfinished piles. The mental tabs that never fully close. It’s the feeling that your environment is always asking something of you. In this episode, we’re going deeper than organizing tips. I’m joined by decluttering coach Rachelle Heywood, and we’re talking about what clutter actually represents—and why it keeps coming back. Because clutter isn’t just physical. It’s often connected to emotional attachment, mental load, and the invisible responsibilities many women carry without ever consciously choosing them. We talk about where to start when everything feels overwhelming, how your physical space impacts your mental clarity and nervous system, and one of the biggest myths about decluttering that keeps women stuck in the cycle of organizing instead of actually letting go. This conversation is about creating more than a clean home. It’s about creating space—mentally, emotionally, and physically—for what actually matters. 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. What We Talk About in This Episode What clutter actually represents emotionally for women and moms Why organizing doesn’t solve the problem (and what does) Where to start when your home feels overwhelming How clutter impacts mental clarity and nervous system regulation The emotional attachments that keep clutter coming back A common myth about decluttering that keeps women stuck How creating space in your home supports peace in your life About Our Guest Rachelle Heywood is a certified life coach and decluttering coach who helps overwhelmed moms trade the chaos of too much stuff for a home—and a mind—that finally feels peaceful. As a mom of six, she knows firsthand that the real cost of clutter isn’t a messy living room. It’s the patience you lose, the moments you miss, and the mental load that never seems to let up. After years of organizing systems that didn’t stick, Rachelle discovered that clutter can’t simply be managed—it has to be addressed at the root. Today, she helps women work through the emotional and mental attachments behind their stuff so they can clear the clutter for good and create space for what truly matters.

Episode 10: Decluttering the Stories You Tell Yourself
Hi Mama! Have you ever noticed how certain thoughts about yourself feel permanent? Like, “This is just who I am.” “I’ve always been this way.” “I’m just not the kind of person who…” Maybe you’ve told yourself you’re not disciplined. Not confident. Not consistent. Not the type to follow through. And maybe those sentences feel factual — like settled truth instead of interpretation. In this episode, we’re gently untangling the difference between facts and stories. Because most of the time, what actually happened is neutral… but the meaning we assign to it becomes the identity we operate from. We explore how survival-mode conclusions can quietly turn into lifelong belief systems, why drama and responsibility are not the same thing, and how identity stories often shape your habits, health, relationships, and leadership more than you realize. This conversation is about awareness — not shame. It’s about asking whether the stories you’ve been living inside still deserve to lead in this season. 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.

Episode 9 - Clearing Space to Heal: What Letting Go Made Possible
Hey Mama! Maybe you’ve felt it too. That quiet sense that you’re ready for more… but something inside you still feels hesitant. Maybe you’ve been functioning well — showing up, doing the work, taking care of everyone else — and yet there’s a subtle awareness that you’re still carrying something old. Something unresolved. Something that quietly shapes how you show up, how much space you take, how fully you allow yourself to be seen. In this episode, I’m sharing a vulnerable piece of my own journey — the decision to pursue EMDR therapy this past year, not because I was in crisis, but because I knew I wanted to grow. I wanted to stop hiding in subtle ways. I wanted to stop shrinking in rooms where I belonged. And I realized I couldn’t build the next version of my life while still carrying unprocessed pain from the past. We talk about courage — not the loud kind, but the steady kind. The kind that walks back into memories that hurt. The kind that stays in the room. We explore what it means to truly believe you matter… and what changes when you stop operating from survival and start operating from wholeness. You’ll hear reflections around questions like: What might still be shaping me that I haven’t fully healed? Where am I hesitating to take up space? What survival strategies have followed me into seasons that require leadership? What would it look like to show up for myself in a deeper way? How do I want younger and older versions of me to remember this season? 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. If you’ve felt a quiet nudge that it might be time to clear space before building what’s next, this conversation is for you. Press play when you’re ready — and next week, we’ll continue the March theme by talking about decluttering the stories that shape your identity.

Episode 8: Staying With Yourself Through Mistakes, Shame, and Growth
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.

Episode 7 - Having Your Own Back: Boundaries, Compassion, and Self-Trust
Hey Mama! If you’ve ever said yes when you meant no — and felt the resentment show up later — this episode is for you. Maybe you tell yourself you should be able to handle it. Maybe you’re used to being the one who adjusts, who accommodates, who makes it work. And on the outside, it might look like you’re doing fine… but on the inside, you feel tired, stretched thin, or quietly disconnected from yourself. If you’ve ever wondered why it’s so hard to honor your needs, why trusting yourself feels shaky, or why boundaries bring up guilt instead of relief — you’re not alone. None of this means you’re doing life wrong. It often means you’ve been very good at taking care of everyone else. In this episode, we talk about what it actually means to have your own back — not in a dramatic way, but in the small, everyday moments where self-trust is either built or slowly eroded. We explore questions like: What does it look like to stay with yourself when something feels uncomfortable? Why do boundaries feel selfish when they’re really about self-respect? How do you rebuild trust with yourself after years of overriding your needs? And what changes when you stop abandoning yourself to keep the peace? This conversation matters because self-love isn’t just how you feel about yourself — it’s how you treat yourself in real life. It shows up in your choices, your energy, and the kind of relationships you’re able to sustain without burning out. 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.

Episode 6 - Becoming Your Own Best Friend
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.

Episode 5 - The Power of the Pause: Responding Instead of Reacting in Your Life and Relationships
Mama, if you’ve ever reacted in a moment and later thought, “That’s not how I wanted to show up,” you’re not alone. Most of us aren’t reacting because we don’t care, we’re reacting because we’re overwhelmed, moving fast, and carrying a lot. In this episode of the I’ve Got You Mama podcast, we talk about the power of the pause - not as a productivity tool or another thing to do “right,” but as a way to create space inside your life. Space to respond instead of react, to come back to yourself, and space to live and relate with more intention and less exhaustion. This conversation is especially for moms and women who feel stretched thin - who want to be more present and connected, but don’t have extra capacity for complicated systems or pressure-filled self-improvement. The pause is simple, but it’s powerful. It’s the starting point for responding instead of reacting, for choosing with intention, and for building relationships, including the relationship with yourself, that reflect what matters most. This episode also sets the foundation for what’s coming next on the podcast, as we begin a deeper focus on the relationship you’re always in - the one you have with yourself - and how it quietly shapes every other connection in your life.

Episode 4: Where Growth Meets Rest: Becoming Without Burning Out
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 want to design a life that lights you up — without abandoning yourself in the process?

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.

Episode 1 - Living Awake: Inviting Joy Into Your Everyday Life
Hey mama! If you’ve been feeling like life is full but somehow still feels rushed, heavy, or disconnected — you’re not alone. I’m really glad you’re here. Do your days ever feel like something you’re just getting through instead of truly living? Have you noticed yourself moving on autopilot — managing responsibilities but craving more presence or joy? Do you love the idea of a fresh start but feel tired of pressure-filled “new year, new you” expectations? Have you ever thought, “I don’t want my life to feel like something I’m just surviving”? In this first episode of the I’ve Got You Mama podcast, I’m sharing what it means to live awake — choosing presence, intention, and joy in the life you already have. 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 are tired of living on autopilot and craving a gentler, more intentional way forward. I talk about why fresh starts aren’t owned by January, how pressure can turn growth into performance, and why real transformation happens in the everyday moments — not just at the finish line. My hope is that you walk away feeling grounded, encouraged, and reminded that you’re not behind, and that joy isn’t something you earn later, but something you can begin inviting right now.

I've Got You Mama Trailer
trailerHey mama! If you’re feeling like you’re carrying a lot — doing all the right things, showing up for everyone else, and still running on empty — I want you to know something right away: you’re not alone, and you’re in the right place. This trailer is a gentle introduction to what I’ve Got You Mama is all about — and who it’s here for. Do you ever feel like you’re stuck on a hamster wheel — busy all day, but disconnected from yourself? Are you running on fumes, telling yourself you’ll rest after the next thing is done? Do you love your family and your life, but quietly wonder if there’s a more joyful, intentional way to live? Are you craving growth, clarity, or purpose — without pressure, hustle, or fixing yourself? Have you ever thought, “There has to be a gentler way to do this”? Welcome to I’ve Got You Mama — a podcast created for high-responsibility women and moms who are ready to stop living on autopilot and start living with intention, joy, and wholeness. In this show, I share a mix of solo episodes and guest conversations centered on whole-self wellness — caring for your body, mind, and heart so you can design a life that truly lights you up. This isn’t a podcast about doing more or becoming someone else. It’s about learning how to work with yourself instead of against yourself — moving forward without pressure, growing without burnout, and finding joy in everyday life. Each episode is designed to leave you feeling grounded, encouraged, and less alone — whether that means a fresh perspective, a gentle reflection, or simply the reminder that you’re not behind and it’s okay to move at a human pace.
