I had it all on paper.
The corporate leadership role. The house. The family. The 401k. All the boxes checked.
And I was absolutely miserable.
Not just "stressed" or "tired"—I'm talking about that bone-deep emptiness that makes you wonder if this is all there is. The kind of suffering you hide behind a smile because from the outside, you look like you've got it all together.
But here's what I learned after 30 years of studying people, 10 years leading teams, 22 years being a mom, and another 10 years as a therapist and coach:
Your suffering isn't a sign that something's wrong with you. It's a sign that you're living out of alignment with who you really are.
In this episode, I'm sharing the exact framework that pulled me out of that emptiness and into the most alive, authentic, powerful version of myself I've ever been.
This is the Unperfected Method—and it's how I went from secretly falling apart to helping thousands of high-achieving women do the same.
The wake-up call that changed everything
The 3-phase framework that saved my life (and my clients' lives too)
The hard truths nobody tells you
What actually moves the needle
The truth about transformation
You can be grateful for what you have AND know something is missing.
You can look successful on the outside AND be suffering on the inside.
You can be a high-achiever AND feel low-key dead inside.
And none of that makes you broken. It makes you human.
But babe—you don't have to stay there.
The version of you that's buried under the perfectionism, the people-pleasing, the performing? She's still in there. And she's been waiting for you to come home.
This episode is your roadmap back to her.
Before we dive in, I have to share—The Unperfected Pod is officially in the top 2.5% of podcasts WORLDWIDE. 🎉
When I started this show, my only intention was to help one woman feel less alone. One mama who needed to hear that she's not broken, she's just human. And you guys have shown up, shared this show, and spread this message in ways that move me to tears.
Thank you for being here. Thank you for trusting me with your time and your heart. If this work has helped you, please keep sharing it. One woman at a time, we're changing the damn planet.
