Good morning, and welcome back to Raw Intentions! This week, I’m thrilled to have Rachel Deeb, a Nashville native and multifaceted creative, back on the podcast. Rachel is a photographer, custom creator under her brand Elektrik Denim, muralist, and—oh yeah—she just finished up a tour with The Lumineers! In this episode, Rachel opens up about her creative journey, from her early days as a photographer to the whirlwind decision to tour with her favorite band. We dive into what life on the road is REALLY like, how the band helped her rebuild her confidence in her work, and the challenges of transitioning back to “normal” life post-tour.

We also discuss her evolution since our last episode together, including her love for travel, experiences with dating, and the custom work and murals she’s created under Elektrik Denim. Rachel’s plans for the future are as inspiring as they are ambitious, and she shares actionable insights on how to balance a creative career while staying true to yourself. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone chasing their dreams or looking for a reminder that it’s always possible to reinvent yourself. Can’t wait to hear what you think! Xo

Hello & welcome back to Raw Intentions! This week, I’m so excited to share an episode with my dear friend, California native, and all-around spiritual powerhouse, Nicolle Merrilyne. Nicolle is an intuitive healer, spiritual mentor, and medium whose mission is to make spirituality and mindfulness accessible to all.
In this episode, we dive deep into Nicolle’s upbringing in an open-minded, energy-aware household, and the traumatic experience that reconnected her to her spirituality. She shares small but impactful ways to tap into your intuition, reconnect with your body during times of stress or inflammation, and set healthy energetic boundaries (including the surprising power of showering!). We also chat about Nicolle’s programs—Awake, Ascend, and RISE—which guide women in cultivating their intuition and energetic awareness. Plus, she reveals her holistic habit-stacking tips, the incredible community of women she’s built, and how we can all manifest the best version of ourselves in 2025. It was such an enlightening and grounding conversation, and I can’t wait for you to hear it! Let me know how this episode resonates with you. Xo

Hello & welcome back to Raw Intentions! This week, we’re diving into the world of entrepreneurship, friendship, and outdoor fashion with Tina Thompson, co-founder of the rapidly growing brand Seniq. Starting a fashion brand with your best friend sounds like the DREAM, and after our chat, I’d say they’re doing just that.  We take it from the top- how two besties chatting an idea over sandwiches, turned into a full on BRAND, making waves in the outdoor space.  We chat about her background in fashion, how corporate America helped shape her business processes, and why Seniq is filling a unique gap in the activewear space. Tina also opens up about what makes Seniq different—mental health is a huge pillar of their company, and she shares a pivotal experience with an injury, that she moved through by getting outside. Oh, and you’ll love hearing about their epic road trip through Colorado (yes, they got a car for free!) as they hit the road to connect with their community IRL. If you’ve got big ideas or dreams of starting your own business, this episode is packed with advice for emerging entrepreneurs. I was taking NOTES, and will absolutely be applying her advice to my own company, Thank you, Tina, for sharing your journey—can’t wait for y’all to listen! Xo

Welcome back to Raw Intentions! This week, we’ve got a different spin on our normal weekly episodes. I was a guest on the “Something More Human” podcast, and the conversations were SO eye opening. They asked me questions that I’ve never asked myself, and in the vein of vulnerability, I decided to share the episode with our listeners too. We chat about what self love REALLY means, the importance of energy & manifestation, putting body positivity into practice, friendships, attaining deep connections, moving to new places, and so much more. Sam & Elliot were a dream to chat with, and I think y’all will really love this episode. Don’t forget to listen to their podcast as well, linked below, and let us know your takeaways!
