KindNest is redefining resilience for accomplished women taught to carry more, need less, keep the peace, and smile while doing it.

Here, resentment isn’t a flaw; it’s a reckoning with the rules that taught her to carry it all and call it “strength.”

You can know exactly which patterns are draining your energy and STILL find yourself repeating them. It’s like paying an emotional energy tax on your past using energy you’d much rather spend on what makes life worth living NOW.

Could turning toward the pain beneath those patterns help you reclaim it? 🤘

In my latest Renegade Life essay, Emotionally Exhausted? The Hidden Cost of Avoiding Old Pain, I explore the courage it takes to loosen the outdated patterns and reclaim more of your energy for living.

This morning, I went for a breast ultrasound. It's an additional screening that may be recommended for women like me who have "dense breast tissue," which can make it harder for mammograms to detect potential signs of breast cancer.

Anyone else in this club? 🙋‍♀️

Interestingly, even when additional screening is strongly recommended, insurance doesn't necessarily cover it. 🤔 So a woman can be left to weigh the uncertainty of what a mammogram might miss against the cost of additional screening.

And that's assuming she has logistical and financial access to make that choice in the first place. For many women who don't have the same privileges I do, it's not even an option.

It strikes me as yet another example of how women are left to navigate complicated systems, shoulder the responsibility, and absorb the consequences of decisions they shouldn't have to make alone, all because of a biological characteristic they had no say in.

On a lighter note, I joke that I might not appear to have breasts at all if it weren't for all that dense tissue! 😂

This weekend last year, I was heading to Madrid for an adventure I could barely believe was happening: seeing Radiohead open their European tour from the SECOND ROW, dead center! 🤯

Funny enough, it began with choosing NOT to attend a concert closer to home because I wanted to be with my family the night before school started. The next day, Radiohead announced their European tour, and I half-jokingly suggested to the friend I’d canceled with that maybe we should go to THAT instead.

A ticket lottery, a 4AM purchasing frenzy, and some extraordinary luck later, we were headed to Spain! As you can see, we made the most of it: art, food, music, culture, and an unforgettable show.

I get it if you’re thinking, “Must be nice.” And YES, it was! But here’s why I’m sharing now: yes, luck may have been involved in creating the opportunity, but ALIGNMENT is what made it possible for me.

Here’s what I mean. Day in and out, I do my best to live with the intention of experiencing satisfaction, adventure, joy, presence, and the exhilaration of discovering new things. Those desires influence my choices, priorities, and what I say yes AND no to. Moment by moment, they shape the life I’m living.

So in this case, it includes a life where I have a renegade-spirited friend who’s game for wild adventures, daughters who were genuinely excited for me (one even made us Radiohead friendship bracelets!), and a husband who took the reins at home for the week, just as I do when he travels.

I could have won that ticket lottery and still had a hundred reasons I couldn’t go, or decided the odds were too slim to bother entering. But living in alignment with how I want to feel, day in and day out, has helped create the conditions for possibilities like this to become reality.

THAT’S what excites me: choosing how we want to feel in ordinary life opens the door to experiencing those feelings in ways we may never otherwise imagine. 🤘

I sat down with accomplished women. You know what struck me most? It wasn't how much they're carrying, but rather how painfully aware they are of what they're missing out on. They've built lives they deeply value. They ache to feel more vividly alive while living them.

In my latest Renegade Life essay, I'm sharing what these conversations revealed about the longing beneath the resentment and exhaustion, and why I believe so much more is possible for these women. 🤘

Even when you’re doing something you’ve made time for deliberately, an undercurrent of urgency can rob you of *feeling* the satisfaction of the moment.

That’s no way to move through a life full of things we care about! There’s more contentment to be had when we can settle into the activity we’ve chosen without feeling like we’re stealing time from something else that matters. 🤘

Anyone else get satisfaction from coming up with clever ways to save time, money, AND resources while making everyday life a little more fun?

Far from rocket science, it’s a simple renegade perspective shift: efficiency adding meaning to our lives, not just helping us get more done!

10/22/2026

You've become incredibly efficient at managing everything life asks of you. But has that translated into more time and energy for the life you're longing to live?

What if the very skill you've developed to keep up with life's demands could help you enjoy more of the life you've worked so hard to build?

I'm exploring that possibility in my latest essay on Renegade Life. 🤘

The exhaustion isn’t necessarily just about how much you’re doing. It’s also about how much energy you’re spending trying to get the reciprocity, consideration, and care that should be part of your relationships in the first place.

All that energy has somewhere else it deserves to go. Whether it’s into the idea you’ve been wanting to pursue, the experiences you’ve been putting off, the relationships you want to enjoy more fully, or the parts of yourself you’d like more room to express, the goal isn’t just to become more skilled at getting other people to participate:

It’s to reclaim the freedom to choose where your own energy goes.

And that begins with recognizing the difference between what a situation genuinely requires of you and what an old, familiar pattern urges you to take responsibility for.

My newest essay, When You’re Tired of Working So Hard to Be Considered, explores where that shift begins.

Seeing nervous system regulation as yet another item that needs to be checked off your list turns it into a task for you to perform so you can tolerate more of what’s been exhausting you.

It’s just The Good Girl Bargain wearing yoga pants!

You can shift that perspective.

Because you deserve more, and so you can reclaim more of the life you’ve been too busy managing to enjoy.
