Excuse me, while I Choose me: The Glow-Up Chronicles episodes

  • S2 [Mini Episode I]: Clear Your Board

    What if the glow-up isn't about adding more...but finally letting some things go?

    In this previously unaired mini episode from the archives, I'm sharing a lesson that accidentally became a turning point in my own journey: the power of clearing your board. From navigating life with PCOS to letting go of routines, habits, and expectations that simply weren't working, this conversation is a reminder that not everything deserves a permanent place in your life.

    Recorded during a season when I was still chasing perfection, this episode almost never saw the light of day. Thankfully, I've since broken up with perfection and started dating execution instead. In this candid conversation, we're talking about keeping what works, releasing what doesn't, and creating space for the version of yourself you're becoming.

    Because sometimes the next level isn't found in doing more—it's found in clearing the board.

  • [S2 E1] More of Me, Less of Everything Else

    I never planned to stay away this long, but life has been lifing for your girl. In this first episode of Season 2, we’re talking about what it really means to glow up through subtraction — letting go of what no longer aligns, reclaiming your peace, and making space for the version of you that’s been waiting underneath the noise.

    This season’s theme, “More of Me, Less of Everything Else,” is all about refinement, reclamation, and rebirth. We’re redefining luxury, choosing softness without apology, and learning that the truest glow-up starts within.

    • A real-life catch-up from Queen P (because the Queendom missed her 👑)

    • The mindset shift from performing to being

    • Why slowing down is a power move, not a setback

    • The difference between surface luxury and soulful luxury

    • A journal prompt to help you reconnect with yourself


    Luxury Is: breathing without guilt 💨 | peace as currency | alignment over aesthetics

    Note to Self: you don’t have to prove that your glow-up is valid — your peace is the proof.

    🖊️ Where in my life am I still performing for acceptance — and what would it look like to live in full authenticity instead?
