On the Bright Side

The past has a funny way of showing up… usually right when we least want it to.

Maybe that’s the true meaning behind Blackout Wednesday, Thanksgiving, or any hometown reunion...not the celebration, but the confrontation. Because nothing quite rattles us like accidentally locking eyes with an ex, an old situationship, or that one hometown hater who still thinks they know who we are.

But it makes you wonder:Why do we hand these people the same power they once had? Why do we straighten our hair, perfect our smiles, and people please the very ones who never saw our worth to begin with?

So if you’re dreading a run in this holiday season, consider this episode your sign. Maybe the past isn’t returning to intimidate us…maybe it’s returning to show us just how much we’ve actually grown.

We accept that food expires, jobs end, and relationships change so why is it so hard to accept that friendships can, too? In this episode, I talk about the not so fun reality of friendship breakups… because unfortunately, there’s no “how-to” guide. Do we wish them a happy birthday? Do we block them? Why can’t they just apologize? Because honestly sometimes I want to shake them until they do. The truth is, anyone can be a great person and also an awful friend...both can co-exist. But a bad friendship breakup can lead to a new, beautiful friendship… and that’s the beauty of life: filling the void with connections that truly fit. In this episode, I share how to cope and navigate expiring/expired friendships (because not all of them have to end ugly).

Have you ever wanted to be the person who is irresistible? Who can command a room with their level of confidence? Who presence simply just glows? DUH I would think we all do, but how? Well on this episode of OTBS, I learned all about aura, and I’m sharing everything with you !!! Your aura isn’t just about looking put together or happy, it’s the energy that follows when you walk into a room. Just like magnets, you’re not meant to attract everything (or everyone) who comes your way. Polarity protects your peace and peace protects your aura. So…how do we get there?How do we get this irresistible glow that turns heads? Well get listening (or watching) and this may just CHANGE YOUR LIFE…happy listening!!!

Special thanks to Jill for teaching me!

HEY Y'ALL!!!! just kidding, I’m not saying y’all...yet! In this episode, I’m diving into how our lives are made up of different numbers on the board. Someone's relationship might be a 10, but their finances might be a 3. For me, Charleston might be feeling like a 10 right now, but that doesn’t mean everything else is. Some days, what’s a 10 for someone else might only be a 7 for another. It’s about realizing that not everything has to be perfect at once, and that’s okay...or IT CAN BE!!! & we should be able to say that without feeling like we're gonna jinx it. KK LOVE YOU ALL!!!! HAPPY LISTENING <3

I MOVED!!!! I can’t believe I’m HERE?!

On this episode of On the Bright Side, I did the scariest thing I’ve ever done: packed up my life, drove 16 hours, and moved to Charleston, South Carolina...knowing next to no one. ( and I don’ think anyone thought I would go through with this…me included)

The craziest part? I’m doing it all while following my dreams.

Not too long ago, I was the girl whose anxiety dictated everything, throwing up from stress, panic attacks on repeat, fight-or-flight mode daily, barely able to eat when change came near. And now? I’m here. Living proof that your anxiety doesn’t have to be bigger than your dreams.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever thought, “My anxiety is too big for the life I want.” I promise…it’s not. A year ago, I believed the same thing, and I’m sharing exactly how I proved myself wrong.

Time may soften the hurt, but it doesn’t erase the need for an apology. In this episode, I talk about how people often use time to brush over their behavior instead of taking accountability. We’ve all had those moments when someone’s hurtful, and 20 minutes later, they’re acting completely normal, like it never happened???

I don’t know what was in Adele’s water when she wrote Water Under the Bridge, but it’s NOT that simple. Healing doesn’t come with an expiration date, and there’s no timeline for feeling what you need to feel. Time passing isn’t an apology, and we don’t need to put it in place of one. YOU'RE VALID FOR FEELING YOUR FEELINGS <3

Little did we know that our favorite movie would become our favorite movie, that we’d meet our best friend on a random Monday, that we were just around the corner from landing our dream job, or that I’d be moving to Charleston in just 3 weeks.

The other day, I came across a TikToker: Haley Hoffman Smith, who shared something that really stuck with me.
She said we never really know what beautiful part of life is just around the corner. And it’s true. We don’t know what dream we’re about to step into, what breakthrough is moments away,
or how the pieces are quietly falling into place.

It’s only when we look back that we start to connect the dots and realize…little did we know.

So let’s chat.
Because little did I know this would be my next life chapter.
And little did you know that this incredible milestone was right ahead of you.
A year from now, we might be listening back to this moment,
smiling at how far we’ve come,
and saying again… little did we know.

What really happened in the Bahamas? Is the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders’ support system as healthy as it seems? Did she have a stalker?…And most importantly, is she okay?

This week on On the Bright Side, former Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Chandi Dayle joins me for a raw, unfiltered conversation about this season of America’s Sweethearts that shook the internet.

From being a DCC for 6 years, to her suspension from the team after the Bahamas, to surviving an abusive relationship, and managing her mental health under intense public scrutiny, Chandi opens up about everything that happened behind and beyond the cameras along with her life now.

I’m incredibly grateful to have hosted Chandi for this exclusive, and I hope it reminds everyone that negative comments on social media have real impact. It’s so important to step into other people’s shoes, especially when it comes to mental health.

Chandi is a bright light, and I’m honored she trusted me to help share more of her story.

Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussion of abuse and mental health struggles. If you or someone you know is experiencing abuse, help is available. Call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 (SAFE) or visit thehotline.org for confidential support.

As I blew out the candles on 23, all I could think about was the whirlwind of lessons 22 brought me. From letting go of people I once thought were permanent, to learning how to live with my anxiety instead of running from it - this year cracked me open in ways I never saw coming. In this episode, I’m sharing 22 things 22 taught me, because somewhere along the way, I finally met myself ( and I learned my there/they're/theirs) <3 OH and next episode's guest....YOU'RE GONNA SCREAM HEHEHE
