In this episode of Not Anymore, I share a story that stopped me in my tracks. I was at the doctor’s office where my kids were laughing and having fun, and I was embarrassed and frustrated, worried about what everyone else was thinking. That moment became a mirror that showed me how often I tie my worth as a mom to how “put together” everything looks on the outside.

I talk about what it means to give ourselves permission to feel and to stop pretending we’re fine when we’re not, and to understand that emotional intelligence isn’t about being happy all the time. It’s about learning to recognize, name, and regulate our emotions so they work for us instead of against us.

If you’ve ever felt anxious, overwhelmed, or like you’re failing because you can’t keep it all together, this episode is for you. Together, we’ll unpack how to manage emotions, let go of perfection, and remember that it’s okay to not be okay. Because the path to peace isn’t about forcing positivity — it’s about giving yourself permission to feel.
