From Scared Confident to Life of And: The Next Chapter

What happens when you choose to build a “Life of And” vs. "Have To"? 

Have you ever had a moment where you realized you didn’t know who you were anymore—only the roles you played? CEO. Mom. Church-goer. Wife. List-checker. Sound familiar? That was me.

Four years ago, coming out of the chaos of 2020 (and a surprise fourth baby), I found myself utterly depleted and weirdly wired with adrenaline at the same time. I wasn’t chasing trends when I started this podcast. I wasn't even chasing a strategy. I just knew—deep in my gut—that I needed to push record.

And so Scared Confident was born.

We launched big in April 2021, not just with a party but with a line-in-the-sand moment—a public declaration that I was ready to face my fear head-on. The fear that if I stood up, if I dared greatly, my people would turn on me. (Spoiler: they didn’t.)

And now, four years later, it’s time for the next chapter.

Goodbye Scared Confident, Hello Life of And

Change is inevitable—and necessary. Scared Confident was the reflection of who I was then: a woman learning to name her fear and push through it. But today, I am someone else.

I'm not just facing my fears. I’m designing my days. I'm intentionally building a life where my career, family, dreams, and personal joy all have space to breathe. A life of want to, not just have to.

That's why the podcast is getting a new name: Life of And.

You'll still find us right here in your feed—same place, same real-talk vulnerability, just a new name and fresh art to match the movement we’re building.

Big News: We’re Joining IBJ Media’s Podcast Network!

Another exciting shift: Life of And is now part of the IBJ Media Podcast Network! I'm thrilled to partner with a team so committed to business, entrepreneurship, and success—not just in Indiana, but beyond.

More ears. More impact. Same heart.

What Does a Life of And Mean Anyway?

Before I understood this way of living, I was stuck in “do” mode. Always busy, never still. Ticking tasks off the list without leaving any room for dreaming. If you asked me who I was, the only thing I could say was what I did.

Life of And is about something entirely different. It's about integration—choosing a life where your career, family, health, dreams, and friendships don't battle for survival. They live together. Not without discipline, not without saying no sometimes, but together.

It's about building a life you don't need to escape from.

What You’ll Find on the Show

On Life of And, you'll find two things:

• Encouragement — Because sometimes you just need a pep talk to keep going.

• Practical How-To's — Because encouragement without tools is just noise.

I’ll share both the hard-earned lessons from my past (the things I totally screwed up) and real-time strategies from my very real, very imperfect life today—parenting a new driver, navigating teenage budgets, managing summer chaos, and everything in between.

I'm here to help you make the bold choices that lead to the life you actually want.
