I haven’t seen or spoken to my family in a year, and it’s been hard. But, with hard times comes tremendous growth, and for that I am grateful. In this episode, I tell the story of why I decided to take space from seeing or speaking to my family for a year now, what I will and will not tolerate from any relationships in my life, and when to know that it’s time to place healthy boundaries in your relationships that will not only serve you, but the people in your life as well.

(May 20th) And it’s my first one ever while living in NYC! It was actually the best birthday I’ve had in a loooong time—and the kicker? I spent it alone! Well, not really “alone”, because the energy and magic of the Universe is always with me :) but it was amazing and I’m so excited to tell you all about it! I hope you enjoy my stories and the lessons learned along with them! Cheers to another year around the sun! 🥂

This wasn't planned, I just slipped into an absolute funk and was battling some slight depression and some MAJOR ego thoughts I had to learn to navigate. I had some family stuff I was dealing with and, on a happier note, I have been learning to navigate a relatively new, healthy relationship....and it's both exciting and TERRIFYING for my Ego. In this episode we'll go a bit deeper into what I've been up to and some lessons I've learned. I also express how instead of leaning away from the podcast during difficult times, I'd like to develop the courage to lean INTO the podcast, and show up even when life is scary, so I can share with you the real, raw, and vulnerable parts too, where I may not have all the answers. Anyway, I hope you enjoy!

This includes yourself. Are you or the people you surround yourself with lifting you up or bringing you down? Some things to consider as you listen to this episode. Enjoy!

Whether it may be toward another person who wronged you, or yourself. In this episode we cover the truth about forgiveness, who it’s REALLY for, and how to set yourself free.

But REAL, lasting confidence comes from deep within. True confidence is rooted in your self worth, self love, and self respect—all of which takes time to build if you’re like many people, and learned to be your own worst critic at a young age by taking on the opinions and perceptions of others. Not to fret, I promise you not all is lost. I was once incredibly insecure and had zero self worth. Implementing small daily practices that turned into habits which helped me build discipline over time began to naturally increase my self worth by showing up for myself. Which as a result made me love and respect myself....and the rest is history. Listen to go deeper into this. Enjoy, and I wish you all the love and confidence in the world. ♥️

Yeah, we’ve all been there. What if I told you there’s a different way? That you don’t have to let yourself be consumed by stressful and worrisome thoughts? That you don’t have to feel like you need to have everything figured out? Placing my trust in the hands of the universe was the best thing I could have ever done for myself, my life, and everyone in it. I hope this episode inspires you to release control, hand over the reins to a higher power, and trust that everything is working out in perfect order, exactly as it should be.

Our thoughts become our words. Our words become our habits. Our habits become our values. Our values become our destiny.” Oof, powerful stuff. But here’s a question...where do our beliefs actually come from? What if I don’t like them? Am I stuck with them forever? Take a listen and find out.
