In this episode we are joined by the wonderful and inspiring Juli to hear about her health journey from pre cancer diagnosis to hysterectomy recovery and beyond. We touch on important topics like women's health and the healthcare system, self care, and the vulnerability in recovery. I hope this episode inspires you to check in with your body or schedule that appointment you've been putting off!

The tea is piping hot this week as we gossip about all of my crushes leading up to Austin. From cringing about middle school rejection to my prom date success, I hope this makes you reflect on your own heartthrobs of the past.

This week's episode is a super duper special one because we are joined by the queen herself - my amazing mom! We walk through her fascinating life journey from Nayarit, Mexico to UCLA as well as her advice for new moms. After our conversation you'll see why she's just SO "mother."

I just turned 29(!!!) so this week we reminisce on birthdays past, birthday blues, and how I'm feeling entering the last year of my twenties.

July 2nd marked the official halfway point of the year so it's a fitting time to both reflect on the past few months and create focus for those to come. We walk through my new year's resolutions and 2024 vision board, discovering what has and has not been going as planned. Hopefully this will inspire you to reflect on your own year and make the most of the second half!

There's nothing more American than making your job your entire identity, so this 4th of July let's do a lil walk through my resume. From early days at the notorious Hollister Co clothing store to a 4th grade classroom, it's been a journey and I'm happy to have you along.

Vulnerability is at a high this week as I share the bittersweet reality of dating a traveling comedian. It's the perfect timing to also dive into long distance relationships in general - their unique challenges and how to navigate them. For this special episode I reached out to some of my close friends so that they could also share their own LDR insights and success stories. I hope this episode is informative and comforting <3

IT IS OFFICIALLY SUMMER and so this week we are diving into what this season means to me as well as ways to spruce up the warm weeks ahead. From the most summery of movies to my 2016 playlist, I hope this gets you in the mood to truly soak up the sun.

You love it, you hate it, and you can't escape it. This week we chat (and at times rant) about my personal experience using social media. From MySpace to TikTok we discuss the negatives of being chronically online, but also ways you can use these apps to your advantage.

Note: for some reason I forgot to mention Tumblr. Let it be known that I was a BIG Tumblr girly and perhaps we can unpack this in a future episode.

It's back to reality after a glorious 10(?) days in Madrid and Porto. Get comfy as we walk through highlights, takeaways, submitted questions, and a surprise at the end!
