  • E32: Discipline Before Balance, and The Dance Between the Masculine and the Feminine

    On today's episode I discuss how learning the black and white thinking and behavior of discipline is crucial before you can start implementing balance. You have to learn to play by the rules before you can learn how and when to mend them.

    I then go on to explain the beautiful dance between the masculine and the feminine and how each has their own unique growth journey to go on---for the man it is the work of achieving discipline around his impulsivity, and for a woman it is achieving discipline around her emotions. 

    For all this and more, tune in to this episode!

  • E31: Taking Charge of Your Health, Inspiring Change in Others, And Following Through on Commitments to Yourself, W/Okema Parker

    Welcome back to the show!

    Today I am joined by my client Okema! 
    Okema lost 36 pounds in the nine months since starting coaching with me in early 2023! 

    On this episode, she shares her experience with building sustainable habits and finally creating lasting changes to her lifestyle and physique, after years of experience with diet culture and yo-yo-eating!

    She shares how her diagnosis of  endometriosis and Atinomyosis sparked her desire to take control of her health. Okema made these changes on her own while respecting that her fiancé is on his own journey and keeping his own pace. She speaks on the significance of change being an autonomous decision and solo journey and how you can’t force someone else into change or resent them for making a different choice or moving at a different pace than you. 

    For all this and more, tune in to this week’s episode!

  • E27: Loving Through the Ups + Downs

    On today's episode I talk about how one of the hardest things about relationships that nobody seems to talk about is the challenge of loving all versions of someone, in all their varied moods, states, and seasons, not just the ones that are the most convenient to you. Because the reality is that most of life is not spent living in your perfect mood, energy, or stress-free existence, and the best thing we can do is communicate with our significant other and learn to work with their patterns, not against them.

  • E26: Awareness is Irrelevant if Not Applied

    On today's episode I talk about the benefit of and purpose behind consuming personal development content. These reasons include:
    1. Everything you want to do, someone else has probably done, and that person has most likely put out some sort of blueprint content to teach others how to do it too. Find the blueprint, follow the steps, and achieve the same greatness.
    2. Keeping the tools at the forefront of your mind each day will give you something to focus on as you move through your life that day! It can be easy to forget the great things we read and learn, so regular refreshers of some of your favorite takeaways is important.

    Growth is a game of awareness. The more awareness you have, of self, of how the world works, of ways to be better, the more potential you can reach. BUT learning the information is just the first step. Applying the information is the hard part. But that is the only way to change...otherwise you are just wasting time.

  • E24: Pt.1- Mom Guilt, Supportive Partners, and the Transition to Motherhood in Your Early 30s W/ Michaela Palhidai

    I am so excited for you to hear from today’s speaker. It ended up being such a great conversation and we dove into to so many different topics that I had a lot of questions and we ended up talking for over two hours—-so I decided to divide  this episode into two parts. You’ll hear part 1 now and part 2 is coming next week.

    Today we have my friend, Michaela whom I’ve known since college  and she is just an overall incredibly beautiful and insightful individual. On today’s episode we covered all things motherhood—-from the identity shift then happens when transitioning into being a mom, to experiencing mom guilt, to finding ways to fill your cup when you are so heavily depended upon, and some other things that many moms on the internet aren’t very transparent about

  • E23: Pt.1- Perspective Evolution: All Men Cheat + The Incentive to Commit

    On today’s episode, I discuss two concepts that my mindset has shifted on. The first one being the idea that all men cheat, which gave no room for personal responsibility, and the second being the idea that cohabitation prior to marriage is an important step and will tell you a lot about whether or not you two are compatible for marriage. 

    Changing your mind on things is a reflection of personal growth and development, and it should be something we all strive for as we take in new information and have new life experiences. 

    Stay tuned for part 2 and 3, where I’ll go over five other concepts that I have changed my perspective on within this past year!
