Ep. 255: Finding Yourself After Motherhood w/ Ciara Burton

I cried before we even started recording. That’s how much this woman has impacted me.

Ciara Burton isn’t just a guest. She’s been a lifeline, a mirror, and a deep, generous force of wisdom in my life—and in the lives of so many women who are waking up to the truth that doing more isn't the answer.

This conversation is about what happens when you stop trying to control everything and finally trust yourself. We talk about the identity unraveling that happens in motherhood, the grip of perfectionism, the pain that forces clarity, and how to build actual self-trust—not just talk about it.

Ciara doesn’t coach from a place of “here’s how to fix your life.” She shows you how to actually listen to yourself. This episode is for the women who are done muscling through and ready to hear what their life has been trying to tell them all along.

🔥 What We Talk About:

[00:03] The moment Ciara said “you don’t need tactics—you need to be heard”

[08:00] Why “dropping into the heart” is more than a wellness meme—it’s a lifeline

[13:00] Ciara’s perfectionist phase and the dark night that followed

[18:45] Healing PCOS through belief work, moon cycles, and spiritual grit

[20:10] The birth that broke her open—and what she learned when she surrendered

[27:00] The solo trip to Maui that changed everything

[33:00] Rebuilding a marriage, one aligned decision at a time

[38:40] How control became her safety blanket—and what helped her release it

[44:50] Why saying no is a spiritual practice

[51:10] Authenticity as the highest vibration (yep, even higher than love)

[55:30] How being love—not just doing the work—actually changes the world
