the threshold: why we stand frozen at the edge of what we want
There's a moment you recognize if you've lived it. You can see what you want. You can feel that something needs to change. And you are completely frozen at the edge of it.
That's the threshold. And in this episode, I'm talking about what it actually feels like to stand there.
Not from the other side, but from inside it. The grip. The resentment that builds when you don't move. The way we convince ourselves we're being careful when we're actually just staying stuck.
This episode is also an invitation into Awake: The Threshold to Becoming — a 9-week container for women who are ready to finally cross. Two spots remain. We begin April 1st.

when food becomes coping: binge eating, inner child healing, and recovery with ronni robinson
n this episode, I sit down with Ronni Robinson, a certified eating disorder recovery coach and author of Out of the Pantry: A Disordered Eating Journey. Ronni spent 30 years struggling with binge eating before finding her way to recovery over 17 years ago.
We explore how coping mechanisms like binge eating often develop in childhood as responses to emotional needs that weren't being met. Not from major trauma necessarily, but from the everyday experiences of not being emotionally seen or heard. The moments that taught us our feelings weren't safe or acceptable.
Ronni shares honestly about how food became a way to control something when everything else felt out of control. How it consumed her thoughts, her social experiences, her entire life. And how recovery wasn't about diets or willpower, but about finally addressing the wounds underneath.
This conversation is for anyone who has ever used something external to cope with something internal. Whether it's food, alcohol, work, perfectionism, or people-pleasing, the pattern is the same: we reach for something outside ourselves because we never learned we could handle what's inside.
If you're ready to understand your own patterns with more compassion, this episode will meet you where you are.

the freeze response: why your body shuts down (and how to move through it)
Last week I shared that I was stuck in freeze - overwhelmed by what's unfolding in this country and unable to process it all.
This week, I want to offer something to actually help.
In a women's circle I held this week, I heard the same thing from woman after woman: it's not just the collective crisis. It's holding our personal lives - struggling marriages, financial stress, grief, health challenges - while the world crumbles around us. The weight of both is too much.
And underneath it all, the same question: Am I doing this right?
In this episode, I explore what freeze actually is (a biological survival response, not a character flaw), why our nervous systems are shutting down right now, and the shadow patterns that pile on when we're stuck - the Self-Doubter and Perfectionist telling us we're not doing enough.
Then I lead you through a 3-minute somatic shaking practice to help move the stuck energy and interrupt the freeze. Based on how animals naturally complete the stress cycle, this practice is simple, accessible, and something you can return to whenever you feel yourself going numb.
You don't have to hold it all perfectly. You just have to keep moving through.
