This is very Manifesting Generator of me… but I’m pausing the podcast (for now!) to make space for the next version to drop in. In this episode, I’m unpacking why following excitement, honoring pivots, and clearing space might just be our greatest superpowers.

FYI – the tool I’m using to support me in this pivot is To Be Magnetic.

Deep connection with others starts with the micro-decisions you make with yourself. In this episode, I opened up my journal archive and uncovered the five stages that helped me feel more grounded, more powerful, and more me. These aren’t overnight transformations – they’re subtle shifts that build over time. From listening to what your anxiety is trying to tell you, to noticing when you’re crossing your own boundaries, to spending money in ways that actually feel aligned.

Wherever you are on your self-connection journey, my hope is that this episode helps you recognize how far you’ve come – and where you might want to go next.

FYI – the tool I’ve used to help me on the journey of reconnecting with myself is To Be Magnetic.

Saying “I’ll do it tomorrow” over and over is exactly what keeps us stuck. But why is that voice so convincing? Today I’m unpacking the sneaky energy of resistance — how it shows up in my own life (like not wanting to leave the corporate world or put myself out there), and how it quietly convinces us that something else is always more important than our growth. Let’s learn how to see it, nod, and keep walking – before it talks us out of everything we actually want.

Lately, I’ve felt like I’m orbiting around my friends’ lives, not really in them. These are people I love deeply — we have years of history — but our paths are starting to look really different. They’re settling into marriages and motherhood. I’m still chasing my wildest dreams.

In this episode, I’m unpacking what it means to grow in a different direction than the people you love — and the courage it takes to keep evolving. How do you hold space for someone else’s dream while staying loyal to your own? And how do you know when things no longer feel aligned?

I said yes to things in my 20s that make me want to scream in my 30s – and moving cities after getting robbed was one of them. I thought it was an empowering decision to move back home, but in hindsight it was rooted in fear. Today I’m talking about what happens when fear makes our decisions for us, and how learning to build internal safety has been the most freeing shift I’ve made.

If you’ve ever felt like you had to run just to feel okay ormade decisions that now make you cringe a little — this episode is for you.

Ahhh, let’s rest. Lately, it feels like we’ve all been on shaky ground. For me, the shakiness comes from trying to balance building a podcast, working a full-time job, not burning out (again), keeping my skin clear, managing stress… the list goes on.

But the more I prioritize rest, the more clarity I find. In today’s episode, I’m diving into the questions that surfacein those quieter moments:

What are we giving the most air time to?

How do we talk ourselves into doing what we truly want?

And how do our habits hold us through the shakeups?

Come explore it all with me.

They approved my podcast name... and then took it back. So now I’m rethinking everything. In this episode, we’re going back to the drawing board—looking at the name, the concept, and how I want the show to feel. I’m pulling inspiration from graphic tees and the time I had a front-row seat to the most intense (yet incredible) week of my brother’s life. This is about staying flexible with the how and continuing the path towards your greatest vision.

At a work dinner, someone told me I should move cities, marry a rich man, and quit my job. I strutted out of the restaurant channeling Cher — “I am a rich man” — but on the drive home, I felt deeply misunderstood. In this episode, I unpack what it’s like to be projected onto, the discomfort of feeling unseen, and how that moment pushed me to ask a new question: How can I make sure I’m fully seeing myself?

If you’ve ever left a conversation feeling small, underestimated, or erased — this one’s for you.

Ever felt strangely irritated when someone repeats your own words back to you? Maybe it was something you once proudly said about yourself—until it started feeling like a label you’ve outgrown. In this episode, we explore why it’s so uncomfortable to be reminded of who we used to be, and what it takes to close the gap between how we see ourselves and how others still see us. This is about reclaiming your narrative—and learning to speak up for who you are now.

I used to think that moving cities could solve my problems. And while the hyper-independence was empowering for a while, it brought on a whole new set of difficulties – think painful separations, goodbyes, blindsiding others (and even myself). Today I’m unpacking the urge to run when life feels off, the duality of independence vs connection, and how I’m reframing things with a growth mindset so I can stay – not run – when things get uncomfortable.
