About Progress

Recently, style expert Julie Allen from the More for Moms conference and I explored how style is not just about what we wear but a pathway to reconnecting with who we are, especially as moms navigating life's changes. Julie shared powerful insights on seeing style as a tool for self-discovery and joy, urging us to break free from societal expectations and embrace our unique identities.

Julie highlighted the fun and freedom in using style as self-expression, offering practical steps to incorporate creativity into our daily lives. Her perspective on prioritizing personal joy and value is something every woman can benefit from. For a deep dive into our eye-opening conversation, tune in to the full episode.

What if self-care had nothing to do with spa days, spending money, or carving out an hour for yourself? Taylor Elise Morrison breaks down the myths we've all believed about self-care — and offers a definition that actually works for real life: listening within and responding in the most loving way possible. If perfectionism has ever kept you from taking care of yourself because you couldn't do it "the right way," this clip will change how you see those little pockets of time in your day.

As a mom, my vision involved perfect moments with my kids, unaware of the strain overstimulation could bring. It's not just juggling cleaning or cooking but managing the hidden pressure of sensory overload. This isn't a flaw—it's our nervous system waving a red flag for help. What's the secret to steering through it?

In this episode, I sit down with Alex Viera, a pediatric occupational therapist and nervous system coach, to explore how we can mitigate this stress. Discover how simple shifts in meeting basic needs and embracing joy can lighten the load and restore our sense of self.

If you've ever felt like no matter how much you get done, it's never enough — this one's for you. Stephen Lawson breaks down what's really going on beneath the surface of our productivity obsession: it's not a time management problem, it's a peace problem. And underneath that? Fear. The fear of failure, of success, and something even deeper — the discomfort of facing how short life actually is. If you're ready to stop racing toward perfection and start living your actual life right now, this conversation is a must-watch.
