Goalden Girls Podcast Episode #57 - A Life Update: From Burnout and Breakdowns to Breakthroughs and Massive Growth

Hi Friend, 

It’s been a while. Almost exactly a year, in fact. 

A lot has happened. Good. Bad. Challenging. Excruciatingly painful. Soul-crushing, and soul-filling. 

So many of you have reached out over social media, in person, and through email to see how I am and where I’ve been.

I feel like simultaneously I haven’t been anywhere, and I’ve been everywhere all at once. I’m in the same chair I was one year ago, and yet in a vastly different place.

So I thought I’d record an episode and give you a life update as we get ready to kick off and fire up Goalden Girls Podcast again. 

In this episode, I’m sharing the last year and the ups and downs I’ve experienced:

  • The massive health challenges I faced and the journey to come out of it.

  • My health ‘aha’s’ – sleep, my gut healing, gluten adventure, SO much.

  • The most exciting opportunity of my career – a TV Show I was signed up to do (and then had to cancel).

  • The next layer of people pleasing and comfort I had to expand out of as Covid mandates and the great divide of our society took hold.

  • You’ll hear what I really think about covid mandates and our response to the pandemic (which you’ve probably seen if you’ve been following on social media)

  • My newfound interest and dare I say passion for politics and involvement in the process.

  • What I’ve had to detach from and the great deep friendships and community I’ve now formed because of that detachment.

  • Why we didn’t run Goalden Girls Mastermind in 2022 for the first time in 5 years - which was a scary thing because it’s where a vast majority of our revenue comes from.

  • Sharing new, deeper, self care that I’ve fully embraced, including nervous system hygiene work, breath-work, and a whole lot of ocean swims and cold plunges.

As I share this, I’m literally overwhelmed with ALL the emotions - gratitude, joy, sadness - I truly LOVE this podcast and creating it, and I’ve missed it so much. And I’m so grateful to each of you who listen, who have reached out. and for listening here. 

Thanks for being here. for listening, and for caring. I hope you enjoy this episode as I pull back the curtain on my life, mind, body, and soul.
