Show Notes
In the last couple of years, my husband JP and I have completely rebuilt our marriage to fit our new needs. It wasn’t easy, and we’ve learned so much along the way.
One of the biggest elements of our marriage that needed to change for me was the level of mental load that I was carrying alone. JP stepped up and worked with me to change the dynamic for our family. Today we’ll share how we navigated that process and what we’ve learned.
Today on WithIn:
What has changed the most in our marriage in the past two decades
The steps we took to better understand each other’s evolving needs
Sitting in the insecurity of not knowing if your marriage can evolve
Retaining your sense of self amidst the challenges of a busy family life
The ‘mini couples retreat’ exercise we use for drafting our dream marriage
Come join us this March 2026 for Clarity & Connection, an intimate Women’s Retreat on the remote, tropical coast of Cambutal, Panama. Through yoga, meditation, and soulful community, you’ll reconnect with yourself and return to what truly matters. Learn more here.

I posted a reel last week about how I parent teens as a sober mom, and it led to a lot of important questions popping up in my DMs: Do my kids drink? What are my rules around drinking? Do I talk to my kids about alcohol?
There are so many things in midlife that feel ungrounding. Our bodies are changing in wildly uncomfortable ways. Our children are getting older (and maybe leaving the nest). We’re facing the reality of aging parents. And then there’s something that I hear so many women speak about: a persistent midlife itch that there is something more for us. A next chapter. A new calling. Yet, what exactly that ‘new thing’ is rarely feels clear. So today, we’re going to talk about it:
Jaemi Pierson is one of the most inspiring people I follow on Instagram, so I had to bring her wisdom straight to you on WithIn!
Last week I found myself in my closet, overcome by a heavy bout of The Sunday Scaries - It wasn’t anxiety about the approaching Monday, but anxiety about the entire fall season. After a beautiful summer focused on my family, the realities of the fall felt like too much to face.
