    EP300: Appreciating Our Itches & Evolution, One Wise Walk at a Time
    2026/06/25
    I'm so excited to be celebrating episode 300 with you, my listeners and fellow Striders. Today, we are looking back at how True Stride began, how it has grown, and how much can change when we keep showing up with honesty, curiosity, and a willingness to listen to what feels aligned. When this podcast started nearly six years ago, I had just left corporate America, I was writing a book, and I was being told I needed to build a big social media presence. But that never felt like me, so I chose a different path and followed the thing that did feel true. I was showing up, one episode, and reflection at a time. In this episode, we talk about what it has meant to grow in real time. I look back at the early days, when I was trying to pack in every story, every question, and every takeaway because I wanted so badly to be useful and make every connection clear. Over time, the podcast became more spacious and natural, and I learned to trust that you would take what resonated, leave what did not, and apply each reflection in the way that made sense for your own life. I also share how my dreams have shifted along the way, from living near the beach in St. Augustine to following a new vision of life in the mountains with land, gardening, chickens, and a different daily rhythm. This 300th episode is a Wise Walk through the itches we cannot ignore, the dreams that keep evolving, and the small, honest steps that help us move toward a life that feels true and appreciate how far we have come together. When you first started listening to this podcast, what were you seeking?What was it about these episodes and Wise Walks that helped you get back in touch with yourself?What helped you remember what you truly want and what you truly need?What is it about these episodes that supports you in slowing down, dropping into that big, beautiful heart of yours, and surfacing those gut feelings, intentions, and dreams deep within you?What helps you notice what feels aligned or what does not feel aligned, so you can have an honest conversation with yourself?What brought you to this podcast?What has changed along the way?What has evolved for you?How does this podcast or this community support you right now, in this moment?Over the past 300 episodes, how have you released your fear of external pressures?How have you shown up for yourself, expressed yourself freely, or stayed in alignment with your True Stride when it really mattered?When you strip away the fear of others' opinions about what you are doing or how you are showing up, what is genuinely important to you?Are you living in ways that you want to?Are you investing time in ways that fulfill you?Are you in full gratitude for all that you have accomplished and all that you have become in the six years we have been going on Wise Walks and having self-reflection conversations together?As you take yourself on a Wise Walk and reflect on where you are investing your time, are there things that once lit you up but no longer do?Do you give yourself permission to release them?Maybe it is a literal investment, an item, or a possession that you have.Maybe it is an activity that once lit you up, but now, for whatever reason, just does not feel aligned.Can you let that go so that you make space for this current version of yourself and your future version?Can you write your next chapter in a way that includes and prioritizes the things in your life that you want to invest in and that light you up? For this 300th episode, my heart is absolutely full of gratitude for how far we've come and for how many itches we've scratched together. We have shed fear of external judgment so that we could align with our daily actions, values, and choices. We've shown up for ourselves in ways that really matter. We get to live the way we want to and invest our time in ways that fulfill us. Thank you for listening, for witnessing my own evolution, and for sharing vulnerably in yours. I look forward to unpacking whatever itches we need to scratch in the future as we listen to our big, beautiful hearts that already know our answers. In this episode: [02:57] When I first started this podcast, everyone was saying, you need a social media presence. I tried social media, but it didn't feel aligned. [04:26] I was exploring other avenues and decided to start a podcast.[06:00] My book was about dropping into your heart, determining what lights you up, and then going after that, while staying in alignment with your true authentic self.[07:05] I've evolved as a podcaster. I used to pack a lot in my Wise Walks, but now I try to encourage discovering what feels in alignment for you. [08:23] These broad topics and free flowing conversations leave room to interpret and reflect in whatever way feels most relevant and aligned for you.[09:09] Pressure to create jam-packed episodes was a little too suffocating for me.[10:20] We are deeply connected, and this podcast has helped me show up in the best version of myself.[12:22] ...

    EP299 - Ask to Get What You Want
    2026/06/18
    When I was growing up, asking for what you wanted was not seen as a good thing. It was considered impolite, as though you were putting somebody out or being an imposition. If someone offered something to you, then you could say yes, but asking directly was different. It felt as though you were putting someone on the spot. I am not really sure what that mentality or belief system was about, but it shaped the way I thought about asking. That belief shifted when I was working in one of my first careers in a sales organization. They completely flipped the script. Their whole mentality was that if you do not ask, you do not get. At first, that felt very different from what I had been taught, but it also made sense. We are not going to get what we want if we do not ask, unless we are relying on someone else to anticipate our needs or read our mind. Retraining that muscle was not easy because I had spent so much of my life believing it was impolite to ask. Then I found myself in an environment where the message was clear. Ask for what you want. Lately, I have been thinking about that a lot because I am noticing it in myself and in others. On this Wise Walk, we explore the power of asking for what we want. What is your belief system around asking for things that you want in your life?When you think about asking for what you want, do you cringe because it feels impolite or uncomfortable?Are you in a place where you feel clear about what you want and need, and you are not afraid to ask for it?Is there something in your life right now that you want but have been hesitant to ask for?Is there someone you interact with consistently, and you find yourself hoping or waiting for them to offer something just so you can say yes?How can you flip your own script and get clear about what you need or want without being afraid to ask?What are the things you know about yourself at your core and have been able to express, communicate, or ask for?How does it feel when people understand what you want and serve it up to you, even when you do not have to ask?Do you notice how communicating your needs and wants can empower you while also giving others the opportunity to support you?How can asking, giving, and receiving flow more smoothly in your life?Is there something in your life, right now, that you need help with?What has been weighing on you, and where are you wondering how you are going to accomplish it?Can you journal, write, brainstorm with a loved one, or use another resource to get clear on the different ways you could approach this?Can you identify one opportunity, be vulnerable enough to ask, and then be patient enough to wait for the answer?What phase of help do you need right now, and who can you ask for help?Can you appreciate the sense of community that may rally around you to help you gain what you need?Have you ever offered advice or support in a conversation, only to realize that was not what the other person needed?Can you pause and ask, "What do you need from me?" or "How can I support you best?"Can you believe what someone tells you they need and show up for them in the way they are asking? As we approach episode 300, I want to thank you for being part of this community and for walking beside me on each Wise Walk. Your support, your stories, and your reflections mean more to me than you know. I would love your guidance as we look ahead. Please let me know what you value, what you want more of, and what you hope this podcast becomes in episode 300 and beyond. In this episode: [03:31] I've noticed how the belief that it's impolite to ask has shown up in the actions of my nieces and nephews.[04:25] Not expressing what you want shows up in little ways, and then it becomes exponentially larger with things that really matter in your life.[05:26] Knowing and expressing what you want gives other people the opportunity to be on your level.[06:44] Those around us get the satisfaction of giving us what we want when we express to them what we want.[07:46] Since my move, I've had to ask for a lot of things. One of the things I wanted to learn was how to safely drive a tractor. [09:07] I went to the dealership, and they helped me learn how to drive the existing tractor. The hands-on tutorial empowered me, and I made some friends along the way.[11:31] The other thing I've gotten good at is recognizing when someone is sharing stories, whether they're asking for help or not.[12:59] Clarifying whether they're asking for help builds the foundation of trust.[13:36] Sometimes people just want us to listen. What is the ask?[15:14] I will admit that using the muscle of asking can sometimes feel hard.[16:05] What do you appreciate and value in this podcast? What would you like to hear more of? Which episode stands out as meaningful? What would you like to see differently?[17:03] We are nearing episode 300 of this podcast. Let me know what you're feeling, and what you hope 300 and beyond becomes?[18:04] This community is bringing ...

    EP298: Support Makes the Mission Possible
    2026/06/11
    Adversity has a way of showing us where we need support, even when we think we should be able to handle something on our own. Since moving to the farm, I have had plenty of moments that stretched me in new ways. Some have been exciting, some have been overwhelming, and some have involved learning more than I ever expected about chickens, weeds, acreage, and all the little surprises that come with farm life. This past weekend brought one of those lessons into focus when my dear friend Alison and her daughter Eva came to visit from California. I had a list of things that had been weighing on me, and one of the biggest projects was clearing toxic weeds from the chicken run. It was not impossible for me to do by myself, but emotionally and mentally, it felt heavy. Once Alison stepped in with her positive attitude, mission-focused mindset, and willingness to get it done, the whole thing felt more manageable. There we were after dinner, wearing masks and gloves, cutting weeds, gathering seed pods, and eventually working by headlamp in the dark. It was practical, a little comical, and also deeply meaningful. It reminded me how much trust is built when someone is willing to stand beside you in the messy moments. On today's Wise Walk, we are looking at what becomes possible when we are clear about what we need, brave enough to ask for help, and open enough to let the people who love us show up. When you are dealing with adversity, what strategies help you navigate it successfully?Who in your life can you count on to show up for you in difficult moments?How do you lean on the people who are there for you?How can you be vulnerable enough to let others support you in the ways you need?How can you channel a positive attitude and mission-focused mindset so you can move through adversity with greater ease?Who is the person you can be vulnerable with when life feels heavy or uncertain?Who shares your commitment, willingness, can-do spirit, and team mindset?Who makes you feel like, no matter what comes your way, you can face it together?Whatever adversity you are managing right now, who can you call?Who has an ear to listen?Who will reassure you that you can get it done, even when the moment feels heavy, toxic, or overwhelming?How are the people in your life showing up for you?Are they offering a listening ear, encouragement, and support?Are they providing resources and strategy to help you navigate in ways you may not see as possible right now?How can you willingly accept their help?How can you say thank you for the ear, the resources, the support, or whatever they are offering to help advance the mission?As you reflect on the goals or adversity you are managing right now, which projects or obstacles require support?Which challenges require extra hands, moral support, or emotional presence to remind you that you have got this?How can you be crystal clear about what you need so your support team can show up for you?How can you weed through the noise of everything else you want done and identify where support is most needed?How can you build camaraderie with the people in your life who are there for you?How can you be clear about the specific areas where you need support? Whatever you are navigating right now, please remember that you are not alone. We really are better together, and sometimes the support we need comes through extra hands, a listening ear, or simply the encouragement to keep going. I would love to hear what you took away from today's episode, and if you have any tips or tricks for managing farm life, I am open to those too. Thank you, thank you, thank you for listening. Be sure to tune in next Thursday for another Wise Walk. In this episode: [02:36] We often hear clichés like "We are better together," and they are true. They exist for a reason.[03:27] My dear friends from California were visiting, and I had a list of things that I thought I would ask them to help me with, in between all of the fun we were also having.[04:13] There is pride and satisfaction when you see what you can accomplish together.[05:21] My chicken run was overgrown with weeds. They ended up being toxic jimson weeds. We had to find a way to safely clear out these weeds.[06:51] We suited up and cut them one by one. This was weighing on me and having the extra help made it possible. [08:08] We had a team mindset and tackled it with rhythm and flow.[09:03] We were willing to be vulnerable and lean into each other's strengths. We were better together.[10:40] Even when we're apart, we listen really well because sometimes it's about the emotional presence.[13:56] Leaning in for support can also help you bond in ways that are really cool.[15:09] It's important to be clear on what you need. I had a list, and when I helped my friend in California, she also had a list. It's about balance and knowing what you need help with.[17:01] Find ways to balance work and play.[18:47] I'm also feeling grateful for how each success energizes me. ...
