Welcome to Fulfillment Therapy. I’m Kendra Nielson—wife, mom, licensed therapist, and someone who’s been right where you are. If you’re doing everything “right” but still feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and empty inside, know you’re not alone. Maybe you thought life, marriage, and parenting would be simpler or more rewarding by now, yet some days all you want to do is hide under the covers, scroll and series binge endlessly, or reach for comfort food instead of facing the stress and chaos at home. I get it—I’ve been there.
This podcast was created for people like you—parents and adults in the thick of it, juggling family, work, and personal growth, struggling to find balance and meaning in the daily grind. Here, we talk real life, real struggles, and real solutions to help you break free from the exhausting rat race.

We’ll explore how to refill your cup, set healthy boundaries, and reconnect with your values so you have more energy and joy to share with your family. It’s about creating a life that feels meaningful to you without unrealistic perfectionism.
We’ll transform exhaustion into strength, chaos into calm, and daily survival into a life you love. It really is possible!

Quotes:
John C. Maxwell puts it perfectly: “Most people want to hear or tell a good story. But they don’t realize that they can and should be the good story. That requires intentional living. It is the bridge that crosses the gap to a life that matters."
Tony Robbins said:“Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible.”
Andy Frisella famously said: “A goal without a plan is just a wish.”
Mel Robbins shares, “You are not starting at zero. You’ve already started taking steps toward your goals. You have momentum. And I want you to keep going.”

Quotes:
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi captures this: "The best moments in our lives are not the passive, receptive, relaxing times... but the moments when we have a purpose."
Brene Brown shares: "Connection is why we're here; it's what gives purpose and meaning to our lives."
Daniel Goleman, a key figure in emotional intelligence, puts it like this: "If your emotional abilities aren't in hand, if you don't have self-awareness, if you are not able to manage your distressing emotions, if you can't have empathy and have effective relationships, then no matter how smart you are, you are not going to get very far."
Martin Seligman, a leader in positive psychology, reminds us: "Gratitude can make your life happier and more fulfilling."
