  • How to Stay Single Forever (in 15 Easy Steps)
    A decade ago I began writing a book called "How to Stay Single Forever (Even if you don't really want to)". I got as far as the outline and never moved forward. It was intended as a sarcastic, self-deprecating review of how I remained single in spite of the fact that I focused on finding and keeping a relationship for the entirety of my adult life! I wanted to help younger women to not make the same mistakes that I made.
    Reading this outline back, I realize that it is actually sound advice if you reverse the direction of each step and actually do the opposite! :-)
    Drop me a line and let me know your thoughts!

  • Getting Healthy & Losing Weight the No BS Way!

    I spent years struggling with my weight and my health. Each year, it became harder to manage. It's not like I didn't know "what to do"- I think we all do, on some level. But the struggle was affecting me in every aspect of my life, contributing to my low energy, depression etc. I found Corinne Crabtree in 2021, and have worked her program for the past year, and so far have released 41 pounds. I was thrilled when this nationally recognized leader in business and weight loss agreed to speak to me for the podcast. You will definitely catch me fangirling during this episode, but I have no shame! I wanted to introduce you to a woman who has made a tremendous impact on my life. Corinne shares her personal journey, along with what made her become a weight loss coach, how she built her business, and how she now helps other women do the same. This episode is marked as "explicit" as Corinne may drop an f-bomb here and there. By the end of this episode, you will see why I love her and the community she has built.

  • Choice or Circumstance?

    As a blueprint breaker- are you a rebel? Did you specifically and intentionally choose to live a life outside the societal norm? Does it matter? Does society care whether it's your choice or not? Today's solo episode explores these thoughts along with the backlash and impact on those who are living a life on their own terms.

    I share some real-world examples about how our voices are being used against us- not to enrage you but to empower you. If what we are saying and sharing is triggering people, that may indicate we are on the right path!

    In this week's Ebbs & Flows segment, I follow up on what's currently going well in my life, and what is a bit more "meh". Join me.:)
