  • 54. The End-of-Year Routine That Helped Me Hit My Biggest Goals Yet

    It’s the end of the year and one of my favorite episodes to record.

    In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of the two personal rituals that have completely transformed how I set goals, stay aligned, and manifest some of the biggest wins in my life and business.

    From letters to my future self (that brought me to tears a year later) to a digital vision board I interact with daily, I’m walking you through the exact process I use to close the year with intention and step into the next one with clarity and confidence.

    If you’re craving a powerful way to reflect, rewire, and dream even bigger for 2026 this is your guide.

    You’ll learn:

    ✔️ My 3-step vision board ritual (and how to actually make it work)

    ✔️ The letter-to-self practice that helped me call in a $1M year, private banking, and my dream backyard

    ✔️ Why your goals might feel uninspiring—and how to reframe them so they truly motivate you

    ✔️ How visualization reshapes your daily habits, decisions, and long-term outcomes

    ✔️ What I’m leaving behind—and what I’m calling in for 2026

    Whether you’re planning your next chapter or dreaming into the decade ahead, I hope this episode helps you create it with clarity, courage, and joy.

    🎧 Tune in now, write that letter, and send me your vision board—I’d love to see what you’re manifesting next.

  • 53. The Manifestation Story I’ve Never Shared (Until Now)


    This episode isn’t just about landing your dream role it’s about creating your dream life.

    I’m pulling back the curtain on a story I’ve never shared publicly: how I manifested $1 million (yes, really), what Gabby Bernstein told me when she picked me out of a crowd of 1,200 people, and why I was bawling in the bathtub just days before everything I envisioned came true.

    From perfect health to my dream home to helping clients earn over $1.5M in salary increases this is how I’ve used energy, clarity, and aligned action to bring the impossible to life.

    You’ll learn:

    ✔️ What really happened at Gabby Bernstein’s live show and the advice she gave me directly

    ✔️ The bath ritual that helped me let go, lock in, and level up

    ✔️ Why manifestation isn’t magic it’s becoming the version of you who already has it

    ✔️ How I turned a failed home sale into a million-dollar win

    ✔️ The framework I use to call in next-level outcomes (and how to apply it today)

    I’m also sharing the bold vision I have for my 40th birthday and why declaring your dreams out loud might just be the most powerful step of all.

    🎧 Press play now for one of my most vulnerable (and aligned) episodes yet. Your next chapter starts here.

    I announced I’m writing a book recently.

    This week, I’m taking you behind the scenes of the process — and the unexpected solo trip that unlocked it all.

    In this episode, I’m sharing what really happened during my writing retreat in Vegas: the airplane downloads, the spa-day breakthroughs, and the moment I crossed 30,000+ words in just a few days.

    We’ll talk about the mindset, the mistakes, and the surprising places inspiration struck when I finally gave myself space to be still.

    You’ll hear:

    ✔️ Why I chose Vegas as my writing sanctuary (yes, really)

    ✔️ How stillness helped me reconnect with my mission

    ✔️ The exact stage I’m in now — and what’s coming next

    ✔️ The dream (literally) that gave me a core framework

    ✔️ Why your best ideas need space, solitude, and strategy

    Whether you’re writing a book, chasing a big idea, or just craving more intention in your creative life — this one’s for you.

  • 51. Introvert at Work? Here’s How to Succeed with Linda Raynier

    Quiet Achievers, Big Career With Author Linda Raynier
     If you have ever felt like the hard working, heads down high performer who is still overlooked for promotions, this conversation is for you. In this episode, I sit down with author and YouTube creator Linda Raynier to talk about her new book, The Quiet Achiever, and what it really takes for introverted high achievers to feel seen, confident, and aligned in their careers.

    What you’ll learn today
     ✔️
    Who “quiet achievers” really are and why so many introverted high performers stall at the senior manager and director levels.
     ✔️ The deeper inner work behind communication confidence and speaking up at work, including the fears and beliefs you need to confront first.
     ✔️ How immigrant and refugee upbringings can shape your definition of success and keep you stuck in careers that no longer fit.
     ✔️ The role intuition has played in Linda’s pivots from CPA to recruiter to YouTube career strategist to bestselling author, and how you can start listening to your own inner voice.
     ✔️ How walking through a stage four cancer journey in her family reshaped Linda’s priorities around success, work, health, peace, and what truly matters.
