It’s the second week of January, and the glow of the new year has already started to fade. Your mind drifts back to last year—what you did, what you didn’t, and where you feel you “should” be by now (again – already).

In this episode, we explore how to leave the past in the past, without shame, so you can step fully into your intentions and your embodied self. 

If you’ve been holding onto disappointment, missed opportunities, or the version of yourself you think “failed,” this episode is a guide to release without shame—and move forward with clarity, groundedness, and ease.

Listen now and start the year lighter, freer, and more present.

Modern dating doesn’t just challenge how we communicate — it challenges our nervous systems.

In this episode of STRIPPED: Drop Your Patterns, I explore why delayed texts and read receipts trigger anxiety, self-doubt, and impulsive reactions that can quietly sabotage connection.

Using lessons from my Bikram yoga practice and real client examples, I offer non-reaction as an embodied skill — helping you pause, regulate, and respond with confidence instead of spiraling into overthinking, over-texting, or pulling away.

This isn’t about playing the game better — it’s about staying connected to yourself while building real connection with someone else.

And if you want to go deeper, join my email list to be among the first to access an upcoming guided journey designed to help you build emotional regulation, confidence, and authentic connection in modern dating. 

Reflect: Notice your initial reaction to an irritation, discomfort, or unexpected response. What is the thought that comes up, and what action follows it?

NOTE: The intro to this episode was recorded in real-time on the busy streets of Manhattan; it's not pleasing! Sound and background noise is true to location, but don't worry - the episode that follows was recorded in studio. 

In this New Year’s episode of STRIPPED: Drop Your Patterns, I invite you to pause, breathe, and resist the urge to immediately fix what feels uncomfortable — especially when it comes to dating, unmet goals, and lingering disappointment from the year behind you.

Rather than setting resolutions from pressure or fear, this episode explores how staying present with discomfort allows clarity, grounded confidence, and more aligned next steps to emerge naturally.

If you’re relieved 2025 is over…
If the holidays stirred up old patterns or questions about your love life…
If you’re ready to reset without forcing change…

This episode is your invitation to start the year from being, not performing — and to remember that you are already enough as you begin again.

✨ What’s Coming Next:
I hint at an upcoming content journey designed to help you build grounded confidence, deepen self-trust, and create more ease and success in dating — all from an embodied, regulated place. More details coming very soon!

🎧 Listen, breathe, and begin again.

Reflect: What version of you are you ready to release in 2026?

Welcome back to STRIPPED: Drop Your Patterns.
We’re opening Season 2 with a deeply personal episode about navigating overwhelm, grief, and major life stress — and how to come back to yourself with compassion.

In this episode, I share:

• What happened during my recent family emergency and the emotional whiplash of returning to daily life afterward
• The tools that helped me reground — journaling, meditation, EFT, movement, breathwork, and real self-compassion
• How to ask for help without shame, and why choosing the right emotional supports matters
• The healing power of connection, including my Cuddlist work and everyday acts of service
• Why different seasons require different types of support — and how to know what you truly need

This episode is your reminder that even in the messiest seasons, you’re not alone — and you have everything you need to find your way back.

Reflect: What are your go-to tools for navigating difficult or overwhelming seasons?
Share them — it might be exactly what someone else needs today.

You know that frustrating pattern: things start off great—sparks, attraction, good conversation—and then somewhere around week three, it just… fizzles. No fight, no big drama, just a slow fade into nothing.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why this happens to both men and women (spoiler: it’s not just you!) and what’s really going on beneath the surface when that early excitement doesn’t last. We’ll talk about:

• The difference between chemistry and compatibility—and why you need both
• Unconscious “tests” that happen in the first few weeks of dating
• How love bombing, over-texting, or playing it too cool can kill momentum
• The real reason women (and men) pull away even when the first dates go well
• What it takes to move past the 2–3 week fizzle and into real connection

Whether you’re tired of being ghosted, confused why good dates don’t turn into relationships, or just ready to stop wasting your time in short-term cycles, this episode will help you spot the hidden dynamics at play and shift into a more confident, grounded way of dating.

👉 Tune in to learn how to stop the fizzles before they start—and build real momentum toward love that lasts.

Reflect: Ask yourself: “If I’m honest, do I secretly fear that the spark always fades? How might that belief be creating a self-fulfilling prophecy?”

Last week on STRIPPED, we unpacked texting anxiety — that all-too-familiar spiral of overthinking every word, emoji, and pause before hitting send. This week, we’re going deeper: the unspoken, absurd “rules” we’ve all internalized, why our brains go straight to worst-case scenarios, and how modern texting has made real-life conversation harder than ever.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• The mental gymnastics of texting “rules” — why waiting hours, double-checking emojis, or overthinking tone keeps connection confusing.
• How your anxiety energy shows up in your messages and can sabotage otherwise promising connections.
• Why abbreviations, gifs, and emojis make it nearly impossible to convey tone authentically.
• Practical strategies to pause, check in with your energy, and text with confidence.
• How to detach from outcomes while still showing genuine interest — so your texts feel fun, magnetic, and real.

I’ll also share a personal (and slightly embarrassing) story from my dating past to show exactly how texting anxiety can derail a connection — and what happens when you finally let go of the mental gymnastics.

Reflect: This week, notice one texting rule you’ve been following obsessively and break it. Send a text authentically — without worrying about timing, emojis, or “right” wording — and observe what happens. Comment or DM me with your results!

Review: Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share this episode with anyone who overthinks their texts — let’s help each other connect with more ease!

Have you ever stared at your phone, rewriting a text 17 times before finally hitting send—only to immediately regret it? Or sat there watching the little dot-dot-dot bubble… waiting… waiting… and then—nothing?

Welcome to texting anxiety.

In this episode of STRIPPED: Drop Your Patterns, I’m pulling back the curtain on one of the biggest stressors in modern dating: the pressure to “get it right” over text. Whether it’s waiting the “perfect” number of hours to reply, second-guessing your emojis, or spiraling when you don’t hear back right away, the truth is—it’s not about the text. It’s about the story your brain is running while you’re texting.

I’ll share a client story that shows how texting anxiety can tank momentum, break down why those unspoken “rules” of texting don’t actually work, and give you simple mindset and practical shifts to bring confidence back into the conversation.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why both men and women secretly play by the same texting “rules” (and why those rules kill connection).
• How your story—not your words—is what’s actually creating anxiety (and how to change it).
• A powerful mindset reframe that instantly shifts your texting energy from needy → magnetic.
• One practical question to ask yourself before hitting send that keeps you grounded and authentic.

👉 If you’re tired of overthinking your messages and want to show up more confident, natural, and connected in dating, this episode is for you.

And don’t miss Part 2 next week, where I’ll unpack the most common texting traps—and how to avoid them.

What if the biggest thing standing between you and the relationship you want… is your own brain?

In this episode of STRIPPED: Drop Your Patterns, I’m sharing a surprising story about how I manifested a full backyard makeover — without knowing when or how it would happen — and why that same principle applies to your dating life.

Here’s the truth: most people don’t struggle because love isn’t possible for them. They struggle because their brain has been rehearsing the wrong story — “I’ll always end up with the wrong person,” “Dating is a dead end,” “Maybe love just isn’t in the cards for me.” And the longer you keep believing those stories, the more they quietly shape your reality.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why your beliefs are the foundation of your dating success (or failure).
• How the “yard makeover” story reveals the secret power of mindset.
• The difference between hoping for love and believing it’s possible.
• A simple reframe to start hacking your mind today — so you can create space for the relationship you really want.

If you’ve ever wondered why nothing seems to change no matter how many apps, dates, or self-help books you try — this episode is for you.

Reflect: If you look at the kinds of partners and experiences you keep attracting, what story about love or about yourself might be running the show?

Review: Be sure to like and subscribe to STRIPPED, leave me your comments or questions, and share it with your circles. Together, let’s spread the word that love doesn’t have to be a guessing game — it can be real, intentional, and extraordinary.
