In this episode, I share my personal healing journey with Hashimoto’s and melasma—but this conversation is for anyone navigating skin concerns, autoimmune issues, or any chronic symptom that’s left you feeling disconnected from your body.

I talk about the moment I stopped doing all the things—the supplements, the restrictions, the protocols—and started deeply listening to what my body had been trying to tell me all along. This episode is about the power of intuitive healing, how symptoms are often sacred messengers, and why real transformation doesn’t have to be hard… it can actually be soft, simple, and incredibly freeing.

Whether you’re dealing with something specific or just feeling out of sync with yourself, I hope this lands like a deep exhale and a gentle nudge back home.

After six years of building and running Bloom, my esthetics business, I’ve made the decision to close this chapter and step into something entirely new—being a stay-at-home mom. But this transition isn’t just about work; it’s about identity, self-worth, and learning to exist beyond the labels I’ve attached to myself. In this episode, I’m sharing what it’s like to let go, to trust the unknown, and to redefine success on my own terms. If you’ve ever struggled with big life shifts, questioning who you are outside of what you do, this one’s for you.

I originally thought my first trip to Costa Rica would involve a retreat and Ayahuasca. I was ready for a big, mind-blowing spiritual awakening. Little did I know, I could have a deeply spiritual, transformative experience without consuming anything at all. In this episode, I share how three weeks off the grid—with my husband, my daughter, and no social media—brought me back home to myself. No grand epiphanies, no rituals, just the clarity that comes from stillness, simplicity, and presence. I also dive into Mel Robbins’ Let Them Theory, the unexpected sexiness of being a little mysterious, and why I’m embracing a year of flow, freedom, and caring a whole lot less about what people think.

As the year draws to a close, December invites us to De- lete, De-Clutter, De-tach, . In this episode, I explore the deeper meaning of decluttering—whether it’s your home, your mind, or your social media. Inspired by the winter solstice, I share how deleting social media has helped me reconnect with my own voice, individuality, and peace of mind. Join me as we embrace the power of detachment and learn to let go of what no longer serves us—just in time for a fresh start. What I’m releasing and what I’m calling in. Letting go of old identities and labels and fully trying on the label of just me, as a wife, and as a mother.

In this episode, we embrace the quiet magic of winter, exploring how to slow down, protect your energy, and connect deeply with your body and inner voice. We’ll talk about saying no without guilt, loving and accepting your body, and releasing fear around food. Instead of getting lost in the hustle, let this season remind you to nourish yourself—mind, body, and soul—and to find joy in the stillness.

In this episode, we dive into the analogy of a bowl of murky water, reflecting on how our emotions can settle but remain unresolved. We explore the importance of truly processing and releasing our feelings, rather than letting them lie dormant, waiting to resurface at the slightest bump. It’s about embracing the complexity of being human—acknowledging and feeling our emotions without subscribing to labels or letting them define us. Tune in for a heartfelt conversation on healing, letting go, and living authentically.

October 23rd marks 30 years since my mom left this earth, I’m marking the moment with a tattoo in her honor—and a fresh take on life. In this episode, we’re getting real about how the mind loves a good problem (spoiler: it thinks it’s keeping you safe) and how shifting your perspective can change everything. Life isn’t happening to us—it’s happening for us, if we choose to see it that way. From grief to gratitude, gripping to surrender, and ink to insight, this is about choosing to look at life and time and this bendy little moment we get to make the most of and start living in a way that feels really good.

In this episode, we dive deep into redefining what aging means for women, focusing not on how we’re perceived, but on how we feel in our lives. We talk about the confidence and freedom that often comes with age, and explore why we should embrace that self-love now instead of waiting. I also reflect on the importance of shedding relationships that no longer serve us and practicing gratitude for the lessons they brought. Plus, we’ll discuss how speaking negatively about others is often a mirror of our own insecurities, and how shifting that focus inward can lead to real growth. Let’s start living life to its fullest, prioritizing how we feel over how life looks from the outside.

Welcome to “The Goo Phase,” a space for those of us in that fluid, in-between place—no longer who we were, but not quite who we’re becoming. Here, we explore what it means to be in that shapeless phase of life where nothing is fully defined, and everything feels possible. I’ll be sharing my journey of letting go of old identities, beliefs, and ways of being to make room for what wants to emerge. It’s about leaning into uncertainty, feeling deeply, and trusting the unfolding process. If you’re in your own ‘goo phase’—embracing the unknown and all its possibilities—this is your space to breathe, reflect, and transform. Together, we’ll navigate this beautiful, formless journey of becoming.
