March 27, 2025Life Update: The Chillest Horse, The Wildest Wedding & Why I’m Disappearing Soon
Ep. 186: In today’s solo episode, I’m catching you up on everything—because, wow, there’s a lot going on. I’m in the final stretch before my embryo transfer and feeling all the things: dizzy, overwhelmed, and emotional AF. I open up about IVF side effects, the pressure of social media speculation, and why I’m stepping away from Instagram after the transfer. I also share stories from a secret (and very wild) wedding weekend in Mexico, staying sober through it all, and my ongoing horse girl era. Plus, a mini Q&A on IVF, wellness, and mindset. Thanks for being here—your support means the world right now!

February 24, 2025Life Update: Girls' Trip, Valentine's in Aspen & the IVF Waiting Game
Ep. 177: I’m back from an amazing trip to Colorado, and in this solo episode, I’m sharing all the details—my first real girls’ trip, incredible food, nostalgic skiing, and the support I didn’t know I needed. Greg even came out to meet me for Valentine’s Day in Aspen, making the trip even more special. But beyond the fun, this time away gave me space to reflect on everything I’m going through with IVF. I’m opening up about the emotional ups and downs, how I’m staying grounded during the waiting period, and the mindfulness tools that are helping me through it.
