Welcome to the very last episode of Rooted.

I can’t thank you enough, both you as the listener as well as all of the incredible guests that I’ve been so lucky to have on Rooted over the years, for supporting and being a part of this journey. What a magical, special chapter this has been — one that I’ll never forget.

We're back! and I'm sharing an honest, vulnerable insight as to how the second trimeter went.

So good to be back, and I'll see you on the inside! Xx

I've been thinking about doing one of these for so long, but never really committed. Well, here we are, and I'm hoping to make this a semi-regular thing. I put up a question box on Instagram, and while I've done this before and come up crickets, this time around -- the questions were ever flowing, so potent and I'm really, really grateful for that. See you on the inside. Xx

I could not be more excited and honored to introduce those of you who aren't yet aware of Elizabeth's magic. This soul, she's a light - and this episode far exceeded any expectations that I had going into our interview together. I was introduced to Elizabeth through her sister Emma, who was on the podcast back in December (Episode 124 - a MUST listen), and ended up hiring her to create a one-stop-shop landing website for all of my creative projects to live (coming soon!) She's also the design force behind the podcasts new cover art!

In this episode, we talk a LOT about the comparison trap (which is so, so important), the fear of taking up space within our creativity, showing up as our authentic selves (and how to figure out who the hell that is exactly..), showing up fully just as we are (sans filters & the perfect picture social media tell us we should be representing), and so much more. Get cozy and prepare to fall in love with Elizabeth. This is a good one. Xx

In today's short and sweet episode, I'm talking all about my experience with my long (looong) rut that I found myself in. It can be incredibly difficult and daunting to break free from these new (accidental) rhythms and habits that we subconsciously create for ourselves, so after doing some of my own research, deep thought and journaling, and talking this to death with my therapist over the last couple of weeks, I found some ways to break my own self free from the grips that my rut had on me and my life. This podcast episode is in list form, if you will, so I hope it's easy and tangible to digest - and I hope, more than anything, it helps should you also find yourself in a similar season. Xx

Val is by far one of my favorite follows on Instagram and has been for years. She's 100% anonymous (which turns out is harder than you might think), and gives her followers a raw, candid and unabashed look into her struggles (and triumphs) within her mental health journey, how she's using her hard earned money (and how this has changed drastically over the years), and providing tangible, straight forward advice for those every day life hang-ups that are so relatable it almost makes you laugh.

So grab some coffee & prepare for a super candid interview with my friend "Val" as we hear from her on difficult family dynamics, how it's impacted her life & her current partnership, how to drop the shame around mental health and society's stigmas, giving up control, what living a life of minimalism means to her, and how to reprogram yourself to be able to use your money to create a life you love (rather than the life that society tells us we "should" be living).

Today on the podcast I'm cracking WIDE open about my first trimester experience. One word: WHOA :) It's been humbling to say the least.. and I thought as a fun bonus, this would be the perfect time to introduce Jonathan to you personally! So he'll be joining me to share his experience & his two cents on our pregnancy journey & how this trimester has been for him... AND! He's going to reveal the gender of our baby with you!

** Trigger Warning: This episode does contain a quick mention of pregnancy loss, and covers feelings such as PTSD and some trauma that I experienced during my first trimester.

Energy doesn't lie, my friend. Today on the podcast I'm sharing some personal experiences as it relates to heartache and material possessions, and how I've learned to ruthlessly execute and make no apologies for it. I'm also joining you to do a little challenge with me at the end of this episode, and I can't wait to hear how you lean into it. This is such a life altering thing, once you learn to see the energy that all material items carry. So cozy up, and join in for this short & sweet (yet impactful) episode.

WE'RE HAVING A BABY :)  I still can't quite believe it. I'm now into my second trimester, so there is SO much to share in this up-coming season of the podcast - but today I wanted to focus solely on our journey to calling in our rainbow baby. It was anything but easy, but goodness was it worth it. In this episode I'll be sharing our in-depth IVF journey, all that went wrong, the breakthrough that Jonathan and I had as a couple that changed EVERYTHING, and how we found out we were pregnant (hint: it's not at all how we were expecting we'd find out.)

** Trigger warning: This episode does include past experiences around miscarriage and IVF / infertility, and of course, a pregnancy announcement. All that I care about here is your emotional well-being and safety, so if this content is just not for you right now, please first know that I full-heartedly understand and have been there, and that only you know what's best for you. So if not listening to this episode feels correct for you, by all means.

Also, please note that while there will be a handful of pregnancy episodes to come in this season, the majority of episodes will not revolve around that subject as I know it is sensitive for some. Please know that I'm loving you from over here.

AND WE'RE BACK!  This upcoming season is without a doubt going to be the most vulnerable, raw and emotionally explorative I've ever been on the show. I have.... so much to say. So much to share. So much to reflect back to you all, and I'm so thankful that you're here, along for the ride. 

Today's episode is the perfect time to release since Spring is right around the corner. I know, for me, this season brings forth so much inspiration and desire to change/spruce up my personal space.. but this year, I'm feeling MUCH more called to spring clean my internal space. My mind, body & soul. 

So, on today's 125th episode (!!), I'm sharing just how I'm going about doing that, and how together, we can create a clean slate for this new season of new beginnings and possibilities.
