Not everyone cheering for you is actually on your team. In this episode, we’re calling out the signs of fake friends - the ones who smile at you in meetings but throw you under the bus in emails. Whether it’s at work, in your circle, or even in your family, here's how to protect your peace and stop mistaking proximity for loyalty.

 This one’s for the real ones.   💜 

In this episode, I’m diving into the power of female relationships - the kind that hold you down, hype you up, and remind you who you are when life tries to make you forget. 

Fresh off a girls’ weekend in the Smoky Mountains (complete with matching pajamas, laughter, and a few happy tears), I’m sharing what true sisterhood really looks like - and why it’s one of the biggest confidence boosters we’ll ever have. 

Because when women support women, we don’t just rise - we soar. 

Grab your coffee (or your mimosa) and let’s talk about the magic of real friendship, showing up, and surrounding yourself with people who pour into your cup.

In this episode, we’re flipping the script on guilt. Wanting more, more peace, more purpose, more you, doesn’t make you ungrateful, it makes you human. Let this be your reminder: you’re allowed to want more, and you don’t have to justify it to anyone.

Confidence doesn’t require perfection, so let’s retire that myth today. In this episode, I’m talking about what it really means to show up confidently, even when your life feels like a damn dumpster fire.
Spoiler alert: You can be a mess and still be magnetic. You don’t need all the answers to be powerful, you just need to stop hiding.

Listen in for the truth, the laughs, and the push you didn’t know you needed.

Not every apology needs a reunion and not every goodbye needs an explanation. In this episode, I break down why silent forgiveness is one of the strongest forms of self-care and how walking away without a press release can protect your peace better than any closure talk ever will.

Everyone’s got quirks, it’s what makes us shine. In this episode, I talk about why owning your weird (even if it makes people side-eye you) is your power move. Stop hiding, stop shrinking, and let your quirks lead the way.
