This episode is a little different.
It’s a personal update — and an honest look at where I am in my work right now.
Over the past few months, I’ve been feeling something I can’t ignore anymore:
This one-way conversation isn’t working for me.
In this episode, I share:
Why I’ve been skipping podcast episodes
My recent hearing loss and tinnitus diagnosis
Why content creation has started to feel draining
The emotional toll of online criticism and “feedback”
Why social media isn’t built for real conversation
The problem with parasocial relationships
Why I don’t want to monetize with ads
And why I’m choosing to pause the podcast (for now)
But this isn’t just about what I’m stepping away from.
It’s about what I’m moving toward.
After hosting live classes and group calls recently, something became really clear:
I don’t want to talk at you anymore. I want to talk with you.
So I’m shifting my work toward:
More real-time conversations
Live Zoom calls and community discussions
A new membership space: Managing Modern Motherhood
More intentional, sustainable content (including YouTube)
This is a pivot.
Not an ending — but a recalibration.
If you’ve been here for a while, I appreciate you deeply.
And if you’re coming along for what’s next… I’m really excited about where this is going.
As always — put your phone down, and rock on.
