March 21, 2025 S2E12: Unshackled

For years, I didn’t even realize I was trapped. I lost myself in childhood under the weight of a narcissistic parent. I spent six years in a cult that controlled my thoughts, my choices—my entire existence. I endured toxic workplaces that drained me mentally and physically. And through it all, I carried the weight of severe anxiety, depression, and self-doubt.

But I broke free.

In today’s podcast episode, Unshackled, I’m sharing my raw, real, and unfiltered journey of escaping control, reclaiming my identity, and discovering what real freedom feels like.

If you’ve ever felt stuck—by people, beliefs, or even your own mind—this episode is for you. You are not alone. And you are stronger than the limits placed on you. I’m proud of you, I love you, and I’m so happy to have you here.

March 06, 2025 S2E10: Phones Are Ruining Our Lives
If you’ve been struggling with time, then I’m here to tell you that it’s not you. It’s your phone. 📲

Phones are breaking the bank, depleting dopamine; and breaking our brains. No wonder we have short attention spans, increased screen time, and disruptive sleep schedules. Thank God for neuroplasticity. 🧠

If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at will change. -Wayne Dyer

You have control over your phone to set boundaries. This podcast episode will give you the answers you need to be offline and more immersed in this beautiful thing we call life. 🌴🌻☀️💛

January 17, 2025 S2 EP 3: You Deserve Compassion
In today’s episode, I discuss how and why you deserve compassion. “Compassion toward yourself," or self-compassion, means treating yourself with kindness, understanding, and acceptance, especially during difficult times or when you're facing personal challenges.”” We need to work with parts of ourselves like shame not just get rid of said shame. I hope as you reflect on 2024, that you’re celebrating your wins!! I’m celebrating you, and celebrating what’s to come in 2025! I love you, and I’m so happy to have you here.
