#142 Giving Motherhood a Microphone: How Listen to Your Mother Became a Movement Featuring Ann Imig
If you've ever felt creatively stuck or invisible after becoming a mom, this conversation will speak to you. Nearly 15 years ago, a single storytelling show about motherhood sparked a nationwide movement—and it's still going strong. Here, we explore how Listen to Your Mother grew from one stage to 70, how the blogging boom birthed a wave of creative expression, and how vulnerability can turn into community power. We also dive into what happens after the kids grow up—when ambition, burnout, and joy collide in midlife. Ann Imig is an award-winning founder and speaker with nume...

Ep. 66 - Showing Up For Yourself and Others When Emotions Run High
In today’s episode, I’m sharing how I’ve been processing the past few weeks. Emotions are all over the place so I’m relying on the tried and true tools as well as some new ones to help me get back to center. (I’m still unsure where that is these days.) When emotions run high, we often reach for things to numb out, help push them down, or “just get through”. I did that for years, and it never made me feel better. It only delayed the inevitable tidal wave of feelings that were irrelevant to...
