  • 38. Manifestation Magic, Breakup Healing & Online Dating (With a Side of Bachelor Nation Energy + Queen Behaviour — YOU are the Damn Prize)

    What happens when you start dating at 40 and the Universe starts sending aligned men like it's handing out roses on The Bachelorette? You get the most dramatic season ever—and yes, I’m the main character.

    In this episode, I’m sharing the exact one-liner I’ve been using to call in soul-aligned experiences (including men who actually match my energy), and how you can use it anywhere in your life—from business to boundaries to big dreams.

    We’re also talking about why it’s sometimes so hard to get over someone—especially when the relationship is long gone but the feelings still linger—and what to do instead of spiralling or trying to “just move on.”

    So get comfy, get curious, and grab your metaphorical mic—because I’ve got a song that’ll shift your energy faster than any affirmation ever could.

  • 37. Body Image, Big Standards & Dating After Divorce (AKA: Dating as a Newly Single 40 Year Old Woman Brings Up ALL The Feels About Weight Gain & Insecurities)

    If you’ve ever struggled with your body image, this episode is for you.

    I thought I had made peace with my body. I really did. But stepping back into the dating world at 40—post-divorce, post-weight gain, post-all-the-lessons—I realized there were some insecurities still lurking beneath the surface. And girl, they showed up loud.

    In this episode, I’m introducing a new segment inspired by my old podcast (Body Acceptance Babes) and sharing the very real, very raw process of meeting the parts of me I didn’t expect to find when I re-entered the dating pool.

    You’ll hear:

    💘 The hidden fears dating brought up that I didn’t even know were still in me
    💬 Why showing up as your full self might make people unmatch you—and why that’s actually a good thing
    🪞 What to do when you thought you were healed, but a new layer of your growth surprises you
    🌀 How I’m practicing self-encouragement instead of self-abandonment
    🔥 And a slay-list anthem that’ll remind you that YOU are the plan, Queen—no backup needed

    ✨ So get comfy Queen… because today we’re clearing out the fear, calling in encouragement, and standing in our power. ✨

    Segments in this Episode:

    💘 Dating at 40 – Real-life updates from my first week back on Bumble and the WTF moments that had me questioning everything and choosing myself even more fiercely.

    🪞 Body Acceptance Babes – The emotional whiplash of realizing a new layer of body image healing is here—and how I’m working through it with compassion, curiosity, and a reminder that your worth isn’t size-dependent.

    🎵 The Slay-list Track of the Week – “Backup Plan” by Bailey Zimmerman ft. Luke Combs — an empowering reminder that the only backup plan you need is getting back up and trying again.

    🎧 Press play to hear:

    • What dating at 40 really feels like (with no filter)

    • How fear shows up even when you’ve “done the work”—and how to meet it with grace

    • The freedom that comes from showing up fully, even when it’s scary

    • A powerful lyrical breakdown to help you stay inspired and aligned

    • A guided Inner Sound Check to explore your own relationship with body, dating, and self-worth

    🔥 Hot Take Reminder:
    You are allowed to want love and still have fear. You are worthy of being seen as you are. And you don’t need to shrink—physically or emotionally—to be loved. The only thing you need to shed? The idea that you’re not already enough.

  • 36. My Pre-Divorce Dating Mindset vs. Now (A 40-Year-Old Woman’s Glow-Up Through Who I Was, What I Want Now & Facing Fear In Between Like a Boss)

    If you’ve just re-downloaded a dating app for the first time in forever… welcome. You are so not alone.

    Eight years ago, I thought I was done with dating for good. I was married, I was all in, and then… plot twist. Divorce. (Didn’t see that one coming.) A year ago I swore I’d never go back on the apps. Even a month ago I still wasn’t ready. But things change—and holy hell, have the apps changed too.

    In this episode, I’m sharing how my entire approach to dating has shifted now that I’m 40, single, and way more self-aware. We’re talking before-and-after glow-up vibes, not just in my relationship status, but in how I view love, partnership, and self-worth.

    You’ll hear:

    • Why I finally decided to dip my toe back into Bumble (and what surprised me most)

    • The biggest shift in how I’m approaching dating this time around

    • The unexpected, uncomfortable (and rarely talked about) moment that happens when you’re actually going after the life you want

    • And a popular song you might want to stop singing if you’re trying to keep your vibe high…

    Whether you're in a new season, a scary transition, or just craving more realness around dating and personal growth—this one’s for you.

    ✨ So get comfy… because this episode is about to swipe right on the version of you who isn’t settling anymore. ✨

    Segments in this Episode:

    🔍 Life Observations – What no one tells you about chasing your dreams (and how it actually feels when you're doing the damn thing).
    💘 Dating at 40 – My no-fluff take on dating apps, clarity, and why I’m not playing games this time around.
    🎵 Musical Medicine or Soundtrack Sabotage – A lyrical breakdown of Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” and how certain songs sneakily mess with your energy.

  • 35. Healing Isn’t Linear: What to Do When Life Feels Like Roadkill (And How to Find Peace and Comfort in the Setbacks When Life Gets Messy AF)

    EPISODE 35: Your Healing Journey Isn’t Linear — A Symbolic Sh*tstorm, a Turtle Plot Twist, and Tools to Keep Going

    Healing isn’t always progress bars and peaceful journal sessions—sometimes it’s spiders, dead animals, and a full-blown identity shift on your front porch. In this episode, I’m sharing a raw behind-the-scenes look at a very weird, very symbolic week that reminded me: healing is not linear.

    From running away from a spider (yep, again), to finding a dead mouse and raccoon (don’t worry, there’s a point), to the unexpected twist of new life in the form of a turtle laying eggs—I’m walking you through the synchronicities, symbolism, and messy truths that helped me reframe setbacks as sacred initiations.

    You’ll also get:

    • My real-life reminders that fear doesn’t always make sense—and that’s okay

    • Why your self-doubt spiral might be part of a bigger transformation

    • What’s actually helping me regulate and regroup right now

    • A confidence-boosting club anthem that doubles as a throwback affirmation (MIMS, IYKYK)

    And of course, we wrap it all up with an Inner Sound Check to help you tune into how this lands for you.

    ✨ So if you’ve ever felt like you were backsliding, stuck, or spiralling—you’re not broken. You’re in the middle of a rebirth. Let’s talk about it.

  • 34. Customize That Sh*t: Redefining Red Flags in Dating (and Life) & How I Sync My Cycle as a Manifesting Generator

    Ever feel like your brain and your socials are feeding you a version of life that isn’t actually aligned with your soul wisdom? Same. Let’s talk about it.

    In this Off-Script episode of The Inner Sound Check Podcast, I’m taking you behind the scenes of how I’m creating my own cycle syncing rhythm as a 3/6 Manifesting Generator—and why forcing yourself to follow someone else’s system can actually backfire when you’re wired for flexibility and flow.

    I also share a recent moment that shocked the hell out of me (in the best way) when I realized just how much nervous system healing I’ve done—and how it changed the way I handled a tricky situation this week. Holy Shift, indeed.

    And we’re kicking off a brand-new segment: Flag It and Bag It. You know all those relationship red flags we’ve been taught to watch for? What if some of them aren’t red flags at all, but old patterns or outdated beliefs? I’m breaking down the question: Is it a red flag if the guy you’re interested in isn’t taking action?—and how to tell whether your response is coming from old fear or new self-worth.

  • 33. From Shame Spiral to Dream Life Energy: Belief Rewrites for the Overthinking Queen

    Ever feel like no matter how much inner work you do, something unseen is still holding you back? In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on the unexpected shame that can show up when you finally give yourself permission to slow down and heal—especially in a world that worships hustle. We’ll explore where sneaky limiting beliefs come from (hint: you probably didn’t choose them), how they shape the way you feel about yourself and your progress, and what it really takes to start breaking free. Plus, a powerful reminder about not co-signing other people’s limitations—because the world needs more women boldly rewriting the rules. If you’ve been feeling stuck in the mud lately, this one’s your sign to tune in and start shifting what’s possible.

  • 32. Girl, Who Are You Really? Here’s How to Find Yourself When You Don’t Feel Like You or Know Who You Is (Plus, Energy on Autopilot Is Real)

    Ever catch yourself wondering, “Wait… is this really me?”
    Like you’re doing all the things, feeling all the feels—but deep down, something’s just off? You’re not alone.

    In this episode, I’m taking you inside a convo I had with my massage therapist (cause my appointments are more deep dives than relaxation): Are we who we are when we act naturally… or are we just playing out a bunch of learned behaviours and beliefs?

    I also share a dream that dropped some WILD clarity on why my past relationships didn’t work (seriously, it blew my mind), and a real-time experience of messaging someone that sent me spiralling into shaky-anxious energy—until I realized my emotions and body weren’t the problem…it was my energy.

    We’re talking identity, energy on auto-pilot, emotional reactions, and how your past might still be running the show without you realizing it.

    If you’ve ever felt disconnected from yourself or wondered why you keep responding the way you do… this one’s for you.

  • 31. Turns Out You Can Process Emotions Wrong—Here’s What Helped Me Quit the Worry Spiral, Call In Bravery & Process My Emotions Like a Damn Queen

    Ever notice how easy it is to talk about being aware of your feelings—but when it’s time to actually sit with them, your phone magically ends up in your hand… again? Same.

    In this episode, I’m getting honest about the struggle of truly witnessing your emotions—and why that kind of awareness might be the missing link between feeling stuck and finally moving forward.

    We’ll explore the difference between sitting with your emotions and getting stuck in them, how to process without spiraling, and what emotional freedom actually looks like in real life.

    And at the end? A little game to help you shift from overthinking to open-mindedness—because if you’ve ever worried yourself into a corner, I’ve got proof you can argue your way out.

  • 30. F*ck the Checklist: Redefining a Life Well-Lived, Choosing Yourself, Measuring Life YOUR Way and Feeling More in Control

    Have you ever wondered what really makes a life meaningful — not in a heavy, existential way, but in a quiet, personal way that actually feels true to you?
    This week, I'm sharing reflections on choosing yourself, redefining success, and measuring your life on your own terms — inspired by a book club read, a documentary I watched on Netflix, and the shifts I've been making in my own life lately.

    We’ll talk about letting go of the “shoulds,” tuning into what your soul is telling you, and making choices that build real confidence — not just for someday, but starting now.
    Because life isn’t measured by how perfectly you followed the rules.
    It’s measured by how deeply you lived — in your own way, on your own terms.
