Ever check all the boxes of success…and still feel like something’s missing? You’re not alone. In this episode, I sit down with empowerment coach and author Gia Lacqua to unpack why so many high-achieving women feel disconnected after “doing it all.” We talk about hidden wounds, why identity is the root of behavior, and how to stop performing for everyone else so you can finally show up for yourself. This one will hit home if you’ve ever wondered, “Is this really it?”

Let’s talk about what happens when we stop chasing perfection and start showing up fully. In this personal episode, I’m sharing my journey with my port wine stain birthmark and how going all-in on authenticity, no makeup, no filter, transformed not only my confidence but the way people connect with me. This isn’t just about TikTok views (though there were millions!), it’s about the messages I received that reminded me of this truth: people don’t connect with perfection. They connect with real.

Where did my obsession with relationships come from? It’s a question I get all the time, and the real answer might surprise you. In this solo episode, I’m sharing the story I’ve never fully told before: growing up lonely, unseen, and always on the outside looking in. We’ll talk about how that experience shaped everything I believe about human connection, and why being intentional in your relationships isn’t just powerful, it’s personal.
