in this episode, I open up about the complex emotions that come with the holiday season—grief, loneliness, and the quiet weight of being the “glue” in the family. I talk about how my own experiences have shaped the way I see the holidays, the pressure to hold everything together, and the longing for deeper connection.

I also explore the idea of creating new traditions, honoring what feels true to me, and tapping into the spiritual shifts that always seem to surface this time of year.

This episode is a reminder that it’s okay to feel it all and still move through the season with compassion for yourself.

In this short episode, I talk about adversity -- how it isolates us, how it shows up in everyday life, and how we can support ourselves through it.

I share pieces of my own journey with isolation, depression, therapy, spiritual work, and affirmations, and offer gentle reminders for anyone navigating their own storm.

be kind to yourself and others!

in this episode, I open up about the power and price of being direct.

Growing up, I learned to stay quiet - to walk on eggshells and avoid conflict. But as i got older, I realized that silence comes with a cost. Now, I speak up for myself, even when it makes others uncomfortable.

My guest, Maggie, also shares her own experience and struggles with speaking up- reminding us that finding your voice is a journey, not a moment.

From learning boundaries to losing connections, we dive into the lessons, heartbreaks, and peace that comes with saying it like it is.

If you relate, please share with others!

Stay for affirmations at the end!!

the world feels heavy right now - there's so much happening all at once. In this episode, I discuss the overwhelm of staying informed, the guilt that comes with trying to live your life, and how social media has made it both easier and harder for people to care. i share my thoughts on empathy, awareness, and what it means to show up for our communities while still protecting our peace. it’s about finding balance — staying educated, staying human, and remembering that self-care is a part of the work too. 

please stay to the end of some affirmations to keep you grounded during this time. give yourself grace.

For me, Mercury retrograde has never just been about setbacks—it’s about self-discovery. With this past retrograde in Leo, I’ve reflected on where my inner child still needs love and healing.

In this episode, I’m sharing my own experience with self-expression, boundaries, and emotional energy, and how I’m learning to reconnect with my worth, speak my truth, and grow in authenticity.

In this episode, Ashley, Justin, and I discuss red flags in friendships and relationships. We explore how to spot unhealthy patterns, set boundaries, and prioritize self-love.

Letting go isn’t easy, but it’s necessary to step into a new chapter and make room for connections that truly uplift you.

We’d love to hear from you—what are some red flags or pet peeves you’ve noticed in your relationships?

This episode, recorded a while back (before "Spiritual, but still devoted" episode), explores my early journey reconciling belief in karma with Christian faith—a mix that didn’t always feel natural.

Joined by my sister Ashley and colleague Justin L, we talk about spirituality, generational healing, and personal growth. This conversation sets the stage for my later path into Omnism, which honors truths in many beliefs.

Remember, we’re all on our own unique paths, and you’re not alone if you feel there’s truth in different spiritual traditions.

In this episode, I open up about my relationship with God, spirituality, and why I no longer feel at home in traditional religion. I talk about what it means to believe in God without subscribing to religious guilt, and how I’m learning to honor my faith on my own terms.. my way, my path.

This one’s for anyone who’s ever felt judged for not doing faith “the right way,” but still knows they’re deeply connected to something divine.. and if you are still figuring out, that is perfectly okay. you are exactly where you need to be.

stay tuned to the end for journal prompts and affirmations.

things have shifted—in me, around me, and maybe in you too.

in this episode, i’m sharing what it’s looked like to let go… not just of people or plans, but of the pressure to keep pushing, performing, or pretending i’m fine when i’m not.

i’ve been thinking about the quiet kind of resilience. the kind that doesn’t shout or prove, but just is. the kind that lets you breathe, pause, and trust yourself again.

this is a soft return. gentle. real.

a reminder that it’s okay to slow down, to realign, and to come home to yourself—again and again.
