In this episode, I sit down with my 80-year-old grandmother, Teresa, to uncover the remarkable story of her life.

From surviving a near-death experience as a child in Italy to navigating the challenges of mental illness in her family, Teresa's life has been a testament to the power of resilience and faith. From migrating to Australia as a young girl, to building a life and family against all odds. Her story is a powerful reminder that with hope and determination, one can overcome even the greatest of adversities.

I’m back for the first episode of 2025 - what a wild time 2024 was. This year, I’m ditching the whole “New Year, New Me” thing and focusing on what really matters - our mental health, setting realistic goals, and protecting our peace.

In this episode, I’m sharing how I’m embracing imperfection, staying present, and letting go of the pressure to please everyone. Plus, dive into navigating the madness of social media, the news, and all the noise out there. Let’s make 2025 about showing up for ourselves, not stressing about being perfect.

Today, we’re tossing something heavy into the bucket: the constant craving for approval.

You know the feeling – waiting for the "good job" from your boss, likes on your latest social post, or even an approving nod from a random stranger. But here’s the deal: seeking validation is like trying to fill a bucket full of holes.

In this episode, we’ll talk about why chasing approval holds you back, how to break free from the cycle, and how to start owning your worth unapologetically. Plus, I’m throwing down a seven-day challenge to help you kick the habit for good.
