Fempowered: Making Your Mess Your Message
In this hard-hitting yet cozy episode, I sit down with the SheEO herself: Sheena Daniels. Sheena is a podcast host, businesswoman, yoga instructor, and female empowerer. She shares tough lessons she’s learned upon getting a divorce and leaving the LDS church. We also get into:
how to connect with yourself and your kids
how to empower yourself and your kids
how to reduce shame and guilt
how to learn to trust yourself
how to use your body as a healing tool
the power of the pause and the necessity of stillness
how your mistakes are your entry points for connection
how to make your mess your message
It’s good. Oh, so good.

Loss: How to Frame It and What [Not] to Do and Say
Loss. The bad news? Everyone experiences it. The good news? Everyone experiences it.
It’s a universal thread, tying is all together. It’s inevitable, though our individual experiences of it aren’t. We all experience loss, albeit it in different ways, to different degrees, at different times, in different ways.
Loss doesn’t always mean a physical death; sometimes it’s the loss of a job, loss of an identity, loss of a friendship, loss of a lifestyle, loss of a perspective.
Whether it’s your loss or another’s, it may feel hard to know what to do and say. You may feel compelled to try to “fix it,” or to positively re-frame it so as to expedite healing and eliminate wallowing.
In this incredibly thoughtful (and hopefully illuminating and helpful) episode, my friend Sydnie Hammon, a graduate student in forensic psychology, returns to share her own experience with loss, and what has (and hasn’t!) helped her. Our candid and personal discussion is steeped in psychology and personal experience.
We offer concrete, specific guidance on what to say, how to say it, what to do, and how to do it, for when you encounter loss directly and indirectly. We also suggest different ways to frame and perceive loss.
Want to know how to show up better for yourself and others? Then this is exactly the right episode for you.
Thank you for caring enough to partake. This matters.
Love you.
