Not All Partnerships Are Created Equal

24 minutes

This episode is a real behind-the-scenes drop-in — because I’ve been getting so many questions lately about partnerships, collaborations, affiliate stuff, and how I decide what feels aligned and what’s a hard no. So, I’m sharing it all.

Whether you’re building a brand, hosting a podcast, or just in a season of figuring out what’s next, this conversation is for you.

Here’s what I’m unpacking in this one:

The surprising truth about when I actually launched this podcast (hint: not 2021 😅)

Why I hit pause before our Barcelona trip — and what that taught me about presence and alignment

The exact questions I ask myself before I say yes to any brand or partnership

Why I said yes to SHACKLEE (and how that partnership literally landed in my lap)

My personal take on MLMs, affiliate links, and influencer collabs — no fluff, just real talk

What I’ve learned about choosing partnerships that actually support the life and business I’m building

Let’s be honest — it’s easy to get caught up in shiny offers and income promises. But I’ve been there. I’ve said yes to things that didn’t feel right just because it looked like a good opportunity. And now? I’m done with that. I want alignment, integrity, and stuff I actually use, love, and believe in.

This episode is your reminder:

You don’t owe anyone an explanation for how you choose to build your life or your income.

You get to make the rules. You get to do what feels good.

And yes — you can say yes only when it’s a full-body hell yes.
