In this episode of Watch Sunsets with Me, we’re diving into the stories we tell ourselves and how deeply they shape the way we move through life.

From beliefs about money, worthiness, and “who gets to have what,” to the quieter stories like “I’m too weird” or “I have to fit in to belong,” we explore how many of these thoughts were never actually ours to begin with. They were inherited, absorbed, or picked up along the way… and over time, they start to feel like truth.

We talk about what happens when we begin to question those beliefs. When we pause long enough to ask: Is this actually mine? Is this still true for me? And what becomes possible when we stop living on autopilot and start choosing a new story one rooted in authenticity, self-expression, and desire.

This conversation moves through identity, anxiety, belonging, and the tension of trying to be yourself in spaces that don’t always make room for that. But more than anything, it’s a reminder that there is no “normal” version of you you’re supposed to become. There’s just you, becoming more fully you.

If you’ve ever felt like you were shrinking, performing, or holding parts of yourself back just to fit in… this one is for you.

This week Sally and I are sitting down for another episode of our Summer Chat Girls series.

We talked about the desires we have…the ones that keep tugging at your hearts and how easy it is to convince ourselves they’re too far away, too unrealistic, or just “not for us.”

What if the evidence is already there?

What if you looked back and noticed all the moments you thought you weren’t going to make it… and somehow you did. All the prayers that were answered in ways you couldn’t have planned. All the little things you’ve received that you once wished for.

We talked about gratitude, trusting yourself, choosing from love instead of fear, and finding your way back to who you are underneath all the noise.

A conversation about joy, desire, trust, and remembering that life gets to feel nourishing too.

This week in our Summer Girl Chat Series, Sally and I are diving into one of the simplest yet most powerful questions we can ask ourselves:

Is this fear talking, or is this love?

So many of us move through our days carrying stress, overwhelm, self-doubt, and the feeling that we always need to be doing more. Without even realizing it, those thoughts can shape how we see ourselves, our bodies, our relationships, and our lives.

In this episode, we explore how small shifts like changing “I have to” to “I get to” can help us move from fear, control, and self-criticism into gratitude, compassion, and choice.

We also share a simple mirror practice that invites you to pause, look yourself in the eyes, and meet yourself with a little more kindness. Not to fix anything. Not to become someone new. Just to reconnect with yourself.

This conversation is a reminder that creating change doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes it starts with noticing the story you’re telling yourself and choosing a different one.

Think of this conversation as two friends sitting on a porch at sunset, honestly about life, motherhood, self-compassion, how to stop shrinking and enjoy life more. Thanks for being part of our girl chat.

💛 This week’s invitation:
What story have you been telling yourself that feels like it’s on repeat? Instead of judging it, simply notice it. Then ask yourself: Is this coming from fear, or is it coming from love? What might change if you chose a different story?
