  • Episode 22: The Father That Chose Me

    This one is personal — but in a different way.

    My dad passing, reminded me of something I’ve always known:
     the father who mattered in my life wasn’t the one who shared my DNA… it was the one who chose me.

    In this episode, I’m talking about the truth behind my father story — the silence, the pretending, the betrayal — and the man who actually showed up, showed love, and shaped the safest parts of who I am.

    And yes… we’re finally breaking down that quote everyone thinks means “family over everything”:

    “Blood is thicker than water.”

    Except… that’s not the real quote.
     And the real version?
     It hits completely different.

    This episode is about loyalty, lineage, and the power of chosen family.
     About breaking cycles without breaking yourself.
     About realizing you were never “unchosen”… you just weren’t meant to stay where you came from.

    A story vetted by life — and told with clarity.

  • This Is an Intermission, Not an Ending | Life: Vetted

    Life doesn’t always move in straight lines. Sometimes growth looks like momentum — and sometimes it looks like stillness.

    In this short video, I’m sharing where I’ve been, why I chose to pause, and what this season has been teaching me in real time. Life: Vetted has always been about discernment, honesty, and navigating life as it actually happens — not pretending to have it all figured out.

    Thank you for being here. This is an intermission, not an ending.

    More soon.

  • Episode 21: Notes From A Theatre Kid - When The Illusion Breaks

    This episode dives into the silence that speaks volumes — how Charlie Kirk’s assassination was ignored at the Emmys while other causes took center stage. As someone who grew up a theatre kid, I once believed the arts were the heartbeat of truth. But the deeper I go on this spiritual journey, the more I see how disconnected many of the people I once admired really are.

    I unpack the disappointment of realizing that art doesn’t always equal integrity, and what it means to try and separate the art from the artist. I also share why I still want to break into that world — because it needs more real voices, more real stories, and more people unafraid to stand in truth. And yes, I’ll touch on why Pluto in Aquarius may just be the cosmic shift that allows exactly that.

  • Episode 20: 20 for 20 - Lessons I Lived So You Don't Have To

    Twenty episodes in…and still going strong. This week, we’re celebrating the journey — the breakthroughs, the detours, the self-trust, and the bold belief that maybe, just maybe, it’s all unfolding exactly as it should. I’m sharing 20 gems from the life I’ve vetted — truths I had to learn the hard way so maybe you don’t have to. From mindset to relationships, boundaries to business, this episode is a love letter to every version of me that kept going.Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned… it’s that faith doesn’t mean ignoring reality. It means holding onto possibility anyway. Press play, and let’s celebrate this milestone together. 

    Here’s to alignment, audacity, and asking: what if it all works out?

  • Episode 19: Solar Return, Cults & Co-Workers

    From solar returns and September shifts to Shiny Happy People and real-life conversations that hit deep — this episode is part reflection, part vent, and all vibes. I talk about what this season brings up for me, how a random catch-up with an old coworker turned profound, and why certain documentaries make you want to question everything.

  • Episode 16: The Space Between - Love, Limbo & Light

    In this episode, I talk about the quiet space in between — that strange limbo where nothing seems to be happening, yet everything is shifting. From unexpected signs on a trip to the quiet kind of love that starts with yourself, I reflect on how honoring your own light creates ripples far beyond what you can see. I touch on the symbolism of the Patronus, emotional detachment, and the magic that brews when you choose yourself — even when it’s hard. If you’ve ever felt alone in the waiting, this one’s for you.

  • Episode 15: Cracked Open - The Breakthrough Not Breakdown

    This episode took a turn I didn’t expect. I sat down to talk about what’s been going on in my life lately… and I ended up crying. A lot. Something cracked open, and I let it. I talk about what it feels like to carry the weight of generational change, the fear that sometimes creeps in, and the unshakable belief that something better is coming — not just for me, but for my daughter and the generations after her. If you’ve ever felt like you’re holding it all together for everyone, or questioned if you’re really the one who’s going to break the cycle… this is for you. Real, raw, and unfiltered. Thanks for listening.

  • Episode 14: Hair, Healed, And Unbothered

    In this episode, I get real about my hair journey, the growth that goes way beyond the strands, and why being fully open means no one can hold anything over me anymore. I touch on recent drama, old versions of me, and how choosing to share it all has become my superpower. It’s raw, it’s freeing, and it’s very much me.
