HR wasn’t meant to live in the land of paperwork, policy policing, and endless “urgent” requests. Yet too often, HR pros find themselves stuck in tactical firefighting instead of doing the work that actually drives business forward.

In this episode, I walk through the evolution of HR—from the old personnel days, to compliance-heavy HR, to the promise of the HR Business Partner model, to the future of work we’re supposed to be shaping. I share why so many HR teams are still buried in the weeds, how organizations benefit from keeping HR “on the back burner,” and how saying yes to the wrong things keeps us small.

Most importantly, I’ll give you practical steps HR pros can take day-to-day, month-to-month, and year-to-year to reclaim the strategic role you were hired for. Plus, I’ll share a personal story from my own career that shows exactly how easy it is to get pulled into the tactical trap—and how to break out of it.

If you’ve ever thought, “I want to be a true business partner, not just a fixer,” this episode will give you the tools—and the fire—you need to start shifting today.

If I could go back and sit down with 18-year-old me, I’d have a lot to say. She was doing her best, but she was also stuck—people-pleasing, picking the wrong partners, ignoring her worth, and thinking she had to stay where life had placed her.

In this episode, I’m sharing the 10 pieces of advice I wish I’d known back then—wisdom learned through messy mistakes, heartbreak, reinvention, and a whole lot of courage.

These aren’t sugar-coated affirmations. They’re straight-up, big-sister truths about self-worth, money, relationships, health, boundaries, and boldness—things I learned the hard way so maybe you don’t have to.

Whether you’re 18 or 60, there’s something here that will nudge you toward a braver, freer version of yourself.

Let’s connect: Tell me which one of these ten speaks to you most today. Share this episode with a friend who could use a little big-sister love.

Why do we shrink ourselves to fit in? Why do so many of us abandon the bold, true parts of who we are?

In this episode, I’m taking you to school on Jungian psychology and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) to explore how our personality gets shaped—and often masked—by the world around us. You’ll learn how Carl Jung’s theory of the persona, the shadow, and individuation help explain why we change from our natural self, and how MBTI has helped me reclaim my voice as an ENTP after years of shrinking to survive.

We’ll talk about the four MBTI dichotomies (Introversion/Extraversion, Sensing/Intuition, Thinking/Feeling, Judging/Perceiving), what it looks like when those styles clash, and how understanding type can deepen our empathy and unlock bold, authentic communication.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re performing your life instead of living it, this conversation will help you begin to deprogram the rules you never agreed to and remember who you were before the world told you who to be.

Featuring:

• An overview of Jung’s key concepts

• A breakdown of the MBTI type preferences in real life

• How I once hid the boldest parts of my ENTP nature

• Why deprogramming is essential to reclaim your inner boldness

This is the work I’m called to—and I’m so glad you’re here for it.

Let’s get bold, together.

Ever feel like you’re living life on autopilot — smiling, nodding, and being ‘fine’… while secretly feeling lost as hell inside?

In this episode, we’re blowing the lid off self-sabotage and all the sneaky ways we abandon who we truly are.

I’m diving deep into:

• Why we learned to shrink, people-please, and play small — especially if we grew up in environments that couldn’t handle our real selves.

• The biology behind self-abandonment (spoiler: your nervous system might be running the show).

• How to recognize the subtle signs you’re ghosting yourself — even if you think you’re just “easygoing.”

• Real-life examples of self-sabotage we rarely admit out loud.

• Bold, doable steps to help you come back home to who you really are.

If you’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to show up as your true self… this is your sign.

The world doesn’t need the masked, edited, watered-down version of you — it needs the real, messy, glorious YOU.

So hit play. Let’s get spicy. And let’s stop ghosting ourselves.

In this tender, truth-filled episode, I share the moment that forever changed my relationship with worry—a dream visit from my sister after her passing, and the powerful message she left me with: “Worry less. Dance more.”

We talk about how worry can feel like protection, but really robs us of the present moment. I open up about what her loss taught me, how I’m honoring our soul agreement to live with more joy, and what it means to move through grief with grace, humor, and a little wild freedom.

If you’ve ever felt weighed down by what-ifs, fear of the future, or pressure to hold it all together, this episode is your reminder: life isn’t meant to be braced for—it’s meant to be lived.

Come listen. Come breathe. Come dance.
