In Part 11 of The Rise Series, I’m answering some of your biggest questions and sharing the truths that have helped me move through divorce, limiting beliefs, fear, healing, and learning to trust myself again. I talk about the limitations we unknowingly reinforce through our self-talk, what it means to choose worthiness before you fully feel it, and why I’ve learned to follow the soul nudges that don’t always make logical sense. I also answer a deeply personal question about how I navigated conversations with my daughters about divorce and why I chose to let the truth unfold in its own time.
I also share what helped me let go during one of the hardest seasons of my life, the lesson I take from the strength of the bison, and an unforgettable manifestation story from Costa Rica involving three very specific signs. We talk about manifestation without resistance, noticing the miracles already happening around you, and trusting that you don’t always need to force the next step. If you’ve been asking for a sign, questioning your path, or trying to release an old story, I hope this episode reminds you to soften, listen, and trust what your soul may already know.

In Part 10 of The Rise Series, I’m reflecting on some of the biggest lessons I’ve learned over the last decade through marriage, business, friendship, motherhood, and personal growth. I share what it looked like to build a new life with Craig, start a business from scratch, push through years of setbacks, and keep going when growth felt painfully slow. I also open up about the Soul Writing breakthrough that changed the direction of our business, the 30 Day Challenge, and the mindset shift that helped me stop seeing every setback as failure and start treating life and business more like a game I could learn to play.
I also go deeper into friendship wounds, betrayal, boundaries, repeating patterns, and the internal healing work that helped me stop recreating the same experiences. This episode is about recognizing the stories and patterns that keep showing up, rewriting them from a more healed place, and learning to trust yourself enough to pivot when something no longer feels aligned. If you’ve been navigating business challenges, relationship patterns, friendship wounds, or a season of personal reinvention, I hope this episode reminds you that your hardest experiences can still carry gifts, growth, and direction.

In Part 9 of The Rise Series, I’m sharing what it looked like to learn how to trust again after divorce, heartbreak, and betrayal. I open up about the early days of my relationship with Craig, the moment my daughters began trusting him, and the practices that helped us build a strong foundation through honest communication, vulnerability, and consistency. I also share how old wounds around money and safety showed up for both of us, and how we learned to work through those triggers instead of letting them pull us apart.
This episode is also about the beginning of a completely new life. I share our intimate wedding in Aspen, what it was like for Craig to step into being a new dad, and how we began building a family and a business at the same time. If you’ve ever wondered how to trust again after being hurt, how to create safety in a new relationship, or how to build a partnership rooted in honesty, communication, and shared purpose, I hope this episode reminds you that trust can be rebuilt one conversation, one choice, and one act of consistency at a time.

In Part 8 of The Rise Series, I’m sharing what the beginning of rebuilding actually looked like after divorce, financial loss, isolation, and starting over as a single mom. I open up about the season when I felt completely alone, how that isolation eventually became a gift, and the small practices that helped me shift my mindset, including affirmations, movement, mantras, simple nutrition, and learning to listen to my intuition again.
I also share the unexpected nudge that led me to search for someone in the fitness world, meet Craig in Vail, and take a leap on an idea when I had very little money and no clear roadmap. What started as a business connection slowly became something much more, and I began learning what it felt like to trust again after divorce. If you’re rebuilding your life, starting over, or wondering whether your hardest season can become the beginning of something new, I hope this episode reminds you that your rise can begin with one small choice at a time.

In Part 7 of The Rise Series, I’m continuing the raw truth of what divorce looked like for me when everything started unraveling. I share the moment my cards were declined at the grocery store, the shock of discovering multiple bank accounts had been drained, and what it felt like to suddenly realize I had to figure out how to provide for my daughters with almost nothing. I also open up about the lies being spread about me, why I stayed quiet for so long, and what finally pushed me to use my voice.
This episode is also about what came next: finding support, asking for help, facing the hard truths I wish I had known sooner, and rebuilding after losing almost everything. I share the biggest lessons divorce taught me about financial awareness, self-trust, intuition, shame, resilience, and starting over. If you’re navigating divorce, betrayal, financial hardship, or a season where your life feels like it has fallen apart, I hope this reminds you that you can rebuild, you can find your strength again, and this chapter does not have to define your future.
