I almost didn’t post this episode.

It feels a little unfiltered, a little all over the place — but it’s honest. And that’s what this journey is about.

In this episode, I share my definition of self-love and how, for most of my life, I didn’t put myself first. I was the friend who dropped everything, the person who prioritized everyone else’s happiness before my own — and then questioned my worth when that energy wasn’t returned.

I talk about the shift that changed everything: realizing that putting myself first isn’t selfish… it’s necessary.

This is a reflection on people-pleasing, healing, choosing yourself, and learning that the love you’ve been searching for has to start within.

And at the end, I share a simple tool to help you start putting yourself first, too.🤍

It’s been a minute… but your girl is back — and honestly, this one feels special. In this episode, I share what inspired me to finally hit record again after buying myself a camera I’ve been wanting for so long. This one action sparked a wave of creativity and made me reflect on the limiting beliefs I’ve been subconsciously running on — mainly around not feeling deserving and not feeling capable of creating the life I desire.

I talk about how I’m proving those beliefs wrong right now, what’s been helping me rewire my mind, and the story of how I manifested my first car — not from forcing or hustling, but from embodying the feelings of freedom and independence before it even showed up.

This episode is your reminder that you don’t need to earn what’s already yours. You deserve it because you exist. 🌷

In this episode, I’m taking you behind the name Finding My Sparkle — where it came from, why it means so much to me, and the intention I’ve set for this podcast moving forward.

I share the deeper story behind the name and how this podcast is already helping me remember how special and unique I really am… and how you are too. This space was created for both of us — a place to feel seen, soft, safe, and sparkly in our own skin.

You don’t have to try to be anything else. You already are it.

Welcome to the very first episode of Finding My Sparkle! I couldn’t think of a better way to begin this podcast than by sharing the journey that led me here.

In this episode, I open up about how my self-love journey began, the moments that cracked my world wide open (not just once, but twice), and how finding direction led me to a brand new way of being. I talk about the impact of meeting my mentor — and the realization that the journey didn’t end there. If anything, it was just beginning.

This episode is a love letter to growth, to remembering how far you’ve come, and to the excitement of what’s still unfolding. I’m so happy you’re here with me.
