  • I went to Paris alone after a breakup and here’s how it went

    If you’re going to be sad, you might as well be sad in Paris…or something like that.

    Breakups are hard. Transitions are hard. Instead of giving ourselves time to process it all, we flee. But sometimes walking away is just what we need to realize that what we’re looking for has been there the whole time. In this episode, I share the uncomfortable story behind my solo trip to Paris and what I learned in the aftermath.

    It all started at 4 in the morning with a one-way ticket to Milan…

  • How to Actually Make the Most of Your 20s

    Spoiler: it’s not by doing the most.

    There’s a lot of pressure to make the most of this “defining decade.” It can quickly make us wonder and stress over the question: Am I missing out on my formative years?

    Let out a sigh of relief because in this episode, we have a conversation about how to actually make the most of your 20s by staying in your lane and leaving space for what’s to come. Instead of chasing what these years should look like, it’s time to start living in a way that makes sense for each of us in whatever era we’re in right here, right now.

  • Can We Please Stop Dieting and Just Eat?

    If your health and fitness journey revolves around dieting, maybe it’s time to revisit the drawing board.

    In this episode, we talk diet culture and how our societal attitudes around food may be depriving us of freedom. I open up about how these misguided beliefs fueled my eating disorder, as well as how my relationship with food continues to evolve over time.

  • How to Embrace the In-Between and Live In Alignment With Who You Want to Be

    Cue 2023: fresh start and new goals. But in trying to get ahead, we can easily forget where we are. In this episode, we take a step back and talk about the ‘in-between’ seasons that often get overlooked. I share difficult realizations from my New Year’s reflection process and how they inspired a need for change. Plus, I reveal how to lay a foundation to become the person you want to be this year. (Hint: it’s my third word of the year…)

  • Reflecting on 2022: New Year’s Rituals, Lessons Learned and Looking Ahead

    A lot can change in a year…

    2022 was a year of letting go. In this episode, I recount the experiences that made this year transformative, as well as the messiest “Oops” moments that inspired the very meaning behind this podcast. Then, we walk through the three New Year’s rituals I practice to manifest a fulfilling year—an alternative to resolutions that makes personal growth a habit as much as a state of being. I can't wait to see what the next year has in store for us!

    Bring it on, 2023.

  • My Life Looks Nothing Like I Thought It Would

    Hello and welcome! In this first episode, I share snippets of my story to help us get to know each other and establish a casual, open dialogue for episodes to come. We walk through my experiences as a content creator on Instagram, teaching spin in college, going against my life plan, and more. For what purpose?
