This episode is all about principles: those fundamental truths that we can use to build the foundation of our lives. We’ll walk through how to use your values to inform these guiding statements in an active journaling session. Then, I share my short list of principles to live by as inspiration to create your own.

If you’re looking to have a healing girl summer, this one’s for you.

In this episode, I share everything I did wrong in my own journey to bring light to the real reasons why your “healing era” isn’t actually “working.” The healing mentality—or rather, aesthetic—often gives the wrong idea of what glowing up is really about. What is even meant by healing? And how do you start a healing journey? We answer these questions and more as I share those habits and tools that continue to guide me through a period of self-transformation.

This episode is dedicated to anyone going through difficult emotions. There is no need to label this as a period of lowness or hopelessness or even identify with it. We simply are. And we deserve space to feel these things as much as we need it to come out on the other side. Here are some affirming ideas that can help keep you afloat and remind you that you are not alone. 

If you or someone you know is experiencing mental health issues, seek help:

To contact the NAMI HelpLine, call 800-950-NAMI (6264).
For crises, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-TALK (88255).

This week we’re joined with one of my closest friends, Reese Fortier, who feels equally lost as I do despite being in a different season of life. We raise three big questions that tend to make us feel lost in life: What do I do? Who am I with? And where do I live? From there we chat about creative and professional uncertainties, outgrowing friendships, our dating lives, moving to a new city and other areas where it’s so easy to feel LOST (that’s ALL CAPS LOST). Truth is we’re all just figuring things out. Whether you feel stuck or consciously choose to be directionless in an area of your life, this episode is meant to be a reminder that it always works out, doesn’t it?

What do you do when the person you’re striving to become isn’t aligned with who you are?

This episode is about personal discovery and coming home to ourselves. It’s raw and vulnerable. I share stories from the past where I received praise for who I wasn’t and felt embarrassed for who I really was. We chat about the importance of getting to know ourselves and how sometimes putting on a facade is necessary to figure out who we really are. 

Because in order to become the highest version of yourself, you first have to find peace with who you are.

There’s never been a better time to be single.

In this episode, we chat about the upside of being single. Whether you’re fresh out of a breakup or have been riding solo for a while, it’s tempting to spiral into loneliness and despair (been there). But living your best single life requires a mindset shift away from presumed scarcity and towards abundance. Because when you’re single, there’s a lot more energy to go around.

It’s really about forming a foundation of who you are for future relationships, pursuits and, most importantly, yourself.

We hear it from elders all the time: “I wish I traveled more.” “Travel while you’re young,” we’re told. But why now?

In this episode, we walk through five reasons why you should travel in your 20s. Exploring the world adds value to our lives not just in the moment, but also in the long run. And after traveling more in the past year than I ever thought I would in my life, I understand why.

Are you on the verge of a shift? Time to lean into the discomfort because a new era of you just might be on the horizon.

In this episode, we explore the sticky in-between phase of outgrowing a past version of ourselves.

 As a new era of our lives unravels, it’s normal to experience growing pains—feeling directionless, frustrated and jealous to name a few. After unpacking how these emotions show up in our lives, we learn how to recognize these indicators of growth and make room for necessary change.
