She Makes Waves

The past five weeks have been a lot—from personal challenges to business pivots to literal stair-related injuries. Life has been lifing, and through it all, I’ve been learning (and relearning) what it means to navigate tough seasons with grace, gratitude, and a whole lot of self-trust.

In this episode, I’m reflecting on the power of showing up—especially when things aren’t going as planned. I talk about how we build resilience not when life is perfect, but when we choose to stay present and move through challenges in a way we can be proud of. I get into why taking space for yourself is necessary, why course correction is a good thing, and how trusting the bigger picture can shift everything.

Also, a little wisdom from Peloton, a hypnotherapy deep dive, and why I might be having a spiritual awakening in the subway instead of waiting for the cathedral. You don’t want to miss this one.

I've been feeling the pressure of trying to keep up with the world's endless demands, and this week in Chicago, I had one of those slow, reflective moments where everything felt like it was on pause. I found myself questioning whether I was really doing what was best for me or if I was just following the crowd. I spent time with Birdie, had deep conversations with friends, and sat down to journal about those moments when I realized I was off track—even when I thought I had it all figured out. It was a week of acknowledging my mistakes, learning to course correct, and understanding that every misstep is a lesson that brings me closer to my true path. I learned that sometimes, admitting “I thought I was doing what was best, and I was wrong” is the most liberating thing you can do. In those moments of vulnerability, I rediscovered the importance of being present, trusting my inner voice, and embracing every small moment that truly makes life rich and meaningful.

I've been reflecting on letting go of the world's endless demands and focusing on what truly matters in life. In this episode, I share the small, intentional changes I've made—like quitting drinking, waking up early to meditate, and simplifying my routines—that have helped me show up more fully for myself. I dive into how those little moments of clarity and presence add up over time, reminding me that a bad day is just a bad moment, not a bad life. I also explore the pressure to measure success by external metrics and why I believe real fulfillment comes from being present and authentic. Join me as I share these insights and invite you to rethink what success really means.

In this episode, I dive deep into the idea of “enough” and how we often let society or industries dictate what we should value, celebrate, and strive for. I reflect on the vanity metrics that we’re so tempted to chase—numbers, achievements, and the external validation that comes with them—and how those things sometimes miss the point entirely.

I share personal experiences, like a touching moment with a client who thought of my daughter and me, as well as a chance encounter with a stranger that reminded me of the beauty of human connection. These moments made me pause and ask, “What really matters?”

This conversation explores the difference between what society tells us is luxury versus what truly feels luxurious—those meaningful experiences, the human touch, and the joy of simply being present. I even talk about a vision boarding session with Mariah and how a simple exercise with ChatGPT gave us clarity about our goals and how close we already are to living the life we want.

We’re often so focused on rushing to the next destination that we forget to enjoy the moment, to ask ourselves where we’re even trying to go, and to realize we’re probably already closer to “enough” than we think.

In this episode, I dive into the concept of losing and how failure is not the enemy of success—it’s the foundation. Sharing insights from greats like Kobe Bryant and Serena Williams, I explore the power of failure in shaping our wins. I talk about the importance of building a strong foundation, even when it feels like everything is crumbling, and how the messiest moments often lead to the most meaningful growth. Whether it’s life, business, or relationships, embracing the process and loving the grind is what creates something truly extraordinary.

In this episode of She Makes Waves, I share my journey with inner child work—what it is, how I resisted it at first, and the breakthroughs it’s brought me.

After a little break, I’m excited to dive into a new year with you!

In this episode, I touch on how small, consistent habits—like meditating, giving up drinking, and swapping coffee for green tea—can lead to big changes over time. It’s a reminder that transformation doesn’t happen overnight but through honoring those little promises we make to ourselves.

I also share lessons from challenging seasons in my life and how they’ve shaped me. Instead of focusing on grand resolutions this year, I’m leaning into showing up for myself consistently and intentionally.

Here’s to embracing the journey, one small step at a time. Let’s make waves together! Happy New Year!

This episode is all about “No-vember”—a time to pause, reflect, and set boundaries for the season ahead. As the holidays approach, the pressure to say “yes” to everything can get overwhelming, but I’m learning that saying “no” is a way to make space for what truly matters.

We’ll cover:

• Why we often say “yes” out of habit or fear of letting people down
• The power of saying “no” to prioritize meaningful moments
• How to re-evaluate commitments that may not fit who we are now
• Building a life that reflects our true values, one choice at a time

If you’re ready to set boundaries and embrace what lights you up, tune in!

In this episode, I’m sharing the journey I just returned from—a week in my favorite place, Sayulita, Mexico. This time, it wasn’t just a getaway but a dive into daily yoga at a studio called The Rose Room. Each class offered insights that resonated far beyond the mat, from embracing "doing less" to finding peace in discomfort. I talk about how small, intentional shifts can transform our routines, how vital it is to know why we do what we do, and the freedom of unapologetically being ourselves. If you’re someone who’s been running on autopilot or looking outward for validation, I hope my reflections help you take a pause, reset, and tune into your journey, too. It’s all about coming back to presence—whether that’s on a yoga mat or in life.
