This week’s episode is a real-life, unpolished, sit-on-the-couch-with-me kind of conversation. If you noticed there was no episode last week… you’re right. And today, I’m sharing exactly why.
The last several weeks have been overwhelming in ways I didn’t fully acknowledge until everything came to a stop. After the fire at my Annapolis clinic, the smoke and water damage, the rebuild, the logistics of reopening, caring for patients in my other clinic, planning a huge anniversary celebration and bringing home a new puppy (yes, really!) — I hit a wall. I simply forgot to record an episode. And instead of beating myself up, I decided to listen to what my body was trying to tell me: I needed to pause.
In this episode:
My New Podcast Schedule
To honor my own capacity (and sanity!), new episodes will now drop on the:
📅 Second and fourth Thursday of every month
This gives me breathing room to show up for my patients, run my business, and create episodes that are meaningful, deeper, and more intentional—rather than rushing to fill every Thursday.
If You’re Feeling Overwhelmed Too…
Let this be your sign.
It’s okay to pause.
It’s okay to change your mind.
It’s okay to shift the rules.
It’s okay to let one version of yourself go and step into something new.
We’re not here to perform. We’re here to live these messy, beautiful, imperfect lives — and sometimes living requires letting something drop so you can breathe.
