LATEST EPISODE 🔗

Most of us are waiting for permission. Permission to dream. Permission to rest. Permission to say no, to speak the truth to the people we love most, or to walk away from something that once fit beautifully but doesn't anymore. We keep waiting for someone to hand it to us. But what if the permi…

We rarely give ourselves permission to pivot. Not because we don't know we need to, but because pivoting means admitting the plan we built, the identity we've worn so well, might not be the whole truth anymore. In this week's solo cast, I found myself sitting with that exact discomfo…
Somewhere along the way, most of us were taught that impact has to be measured in numbers. That unless you change hundreds, thousands, maybe millions of lives, it doesn't really count. So we take the thing that sits heavy on our hearts the children, the veterans, the elderly, the animals, the …

Remembering

Courage isn't born curiosity is. Every one of us came here with it: that small whisper that says huh… what would that be like? And most of us have gotten very good at pushing it back down, because somewhere we learned you don't move until you can see the whole staircase. If I don't k…
We are quick to label a child's anger. The fifteen year old throwing a tantrum, the panic attack in the hallway, the screaming at someone who barely brushed past. We call it a behavior and we try to correct it, when what we almost never do is get curious enough to ask what happened to you inst…

They are not easy choices. Sometimes they feel overwhelming. But they are choices all the same, and no law written anywhere s…
This morning we are seven days deep into the backcountry of Glacier, carrying everything we need on our own two shoulders, tired in a way that reaches the bone. Before we left, I posted a poll asking how many bears we would see, and people worried. They let the fear of a bear question whether we sh…
For years I have been quietly playing small in my own story. I have brought you experts and foster parents and former foster children, and I have let their voices carry the weight, because it felt safer than standing all the way up in my own. But there is a Muhammad Ali quote I keep returning to: i…
We tell ourselves a comforting story about children. We believe that if a little one is ever left alone in this world, surely someone would step in. Surely a neighbor, a teacher, a stranger with a soft heart would look at a seven year old, a ten year old, a child with a whole life still ahead of th…
One of the greatest misconceptions about foster care is that healing is simply a matter of making better choices. If someone truly wanted to change, we tell ourselves, they would. But what if the very systems designed to help have also become places where shame, power, and survival quietly replace …
