Last week, mid-show in Milwaukee, my mic stand took a nosedive. (Fine, maybe I kicked it during André's filthy solo. The man shreds—what do you want from me?) But here's the thing—I didn't stop. Michael Caine once gave acting advice: “Use the difficulty.” So that's what I did. I didn't fix it. I used it. Because that's the difference between a recital and a show. One chases perfection. The other turns chaos into gold. Live performance is alchemy. In this episode, I share one of my most embarrassing live music stories, I dig into Michael Caine's advice, a little philosophy on stage-craft, and some thoughts from my buddy Dan Rodriguez on what it means to actually perform.

There's this quote from Donald Glover that's been rattling around in my head. It sounds simple, but it cuts deep, especially for anyone trying to make art in a world obsessed with control and validation. In this episode, I talk about what it means to stop chasing approval and start creating from a place that's actually honest. Not engineered for the algorithm. Not pre-digested for the audience. Just real. Because the truth is: the minute you start shaping your work around what you think people want, you lose the thing that made it worth doing in the first place.
Your thoughts are the foundation of everything you do—whether it's in motherhood, work, or personal growth. But what happens when those thoughts aren't serving you? In this episode, I'm breaking down the powerful distinction between true thoughts, facts, and untrue thoughts, and why understanding this difference is crucial for high-achieving moms like you. You'll learn how to identify and challenge untrue thoughts that hold you back, shift your mindset to create more calm and clarity, and take intentional, empowered action toward your goals. If you're ready to stop letting negative thoughts control your day-to-day and elevate your mindset to the next level, this episode is for you.

Every musician wants to be heard. But what if you're the reason no one's listening? In today's podcast episode, “Cooking for Ghosts” I talk about a tour-van convo with my buddy Matt Patrick, who dropped a line that punched me in the gut: Making music but avoiding self-promotion is like cooking all day at home, then whining about why you don't have a restaurant yet.” We talk about the myth of “getting discovered,” the real war between art and exposure, and why it's not about selling out - it's about putting the damn food on the table.
I recently heard a successful businessman say he doesn't understand what mindset is and believes only action works. While action is essential, mindset is the foundation for how we approach everything—especially as moms. In this episode, I'll break down what mindset is, how it influences our thoughts and actions, and how it can sometimes lead us astray. I'll also share personal examples of how I apply mindset in my own life as a mom of three, and how shifting your mindset can transform the way you show up in motherhood and beyond. Let's dive into how understanding and shifting your mindset can change everything!

Jackie Chan says “Ding Ding” on set to remind his crew: stay sharp, keep moving, no dead time. I've been thinking… maybe life needs more of that energy too. Less waiting, more intention.

Not in some fake-it-till-you-make-it hustle bro bullshit way… But in that quiet, stubborn refusal to let your current circumstances define your future trajectory.

Do you ever feel like no matter how much you do, it's never enough? Like you have to be the perfect mom, the supportive wife, the easygoing friend—never rocking the boat, never disappointing anyone? That, my friend, is Good Girl Syndrome in action, and it's making motherhood, marriage, and life way harder than it needs to be. In this episode, we're diving deep into what Good Girl Syndrome really is, how it fuels people-pleasing, and why it leaves so many women feeling burned out, resentful, and disconnected from themselves. I'll share how this sneaky conditioning shows up in parenting and relationships—and, most importantly, practical steps to break free. If you're tired of constantly seeking approval, struggling to set boundaries, or feeling guilty for prioritizing yourself, this episode is for you. It's time to stop being good and start being true to yourself.

In this annual episode, we'll revisit last year's educational forecasts, explore what's popped (and what's fizzled), and check the tea leaves (and little gray cells) once again. With help from colleague Jerry Anzalone—and some cheeky assistance from AI—we'll bravely map out what's next for anatomy and physiology education, all seasoned with empathy, wit, and a cautionary look at history's lessons.

Most of us grew up thinking that discipline means punishment. You do something wrong, you get punished—it's just what parents do, right? But what if I told you that punishment doesn't actually teach the lessons we want our kids to learn? In today's episode, I'm walking you through a real-life example from a mom who faced this exact dilemma. After getting a call from school about her son breaking something on the bus, her first instinct was to take away his iPad. But then she paused and asked herself… Does this even make sense? We're unpacking why punishment creates fear instead of learning, the real reason behind problem behaviors (hint: it's all about emotional regulation skills), and what to do instead to actually help your child grow. If you've ever questioned whether time-outs, taking things away, or other punishments really work, this episode is for you.

Overthinking can feel like a never-ending loop, draining your energy and stealing the joy from motherhood. But here's the truth: your brain isn't working against you—it's wired for survival. The problem is, in modern motherhood, that survival wiring often shows up as worry, perfectionism, and self-doubt. In today's episode, I'm diving deep into why your brain overthinks, how negative thought patterns take hold, and the real symptoms that show up in your daily life—like decision fatigue, anxiety, and feeling stuck in ‘what if' spirals. Most importantly, I'm going to teach you how to talk back to your brain so that overthinking no longer runs the show. Because when you learn to quiet the mental noise, you create more peace, confidence, and joy—not just for yourself, but for your whole family. Let's get into it!

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “Why is this so much harder for me than everyone else?” or “No matter what I do, nothing ever changes”? That's victim mentality creeping in—and trust me, it's sneakier than you think. As high-achieving moms, we work so hard, yet it's easy to fall into self-pity when we feel unappreciated, overwhelmed, or just plain exhausted. In this episode, I'm diving into the difference between real challenges and a victim mindset, why self-pity keeps you stuck, and how to shift from “Why me?” to “What now?”—because you have more power than you realize. If you've been feeling frustrated, drained, or resentful lately, this one is for you. Let's break free from victim mentality and step into a life where you feel in control again.
