  • My 6 reasons to ditch alcohol for at least a month
    This episode is deeply personal. I’ve used alcohol as a crutch many times—whether to unwind after a long day or to feel more comfortable in social situations. I also lost my favorite uncle to addiction, a man I loved deeply and who taught me hard truths about how alcohol can take over our lives. That loss, and my own journey of reflection, led me to explore what life feels like without alcohol—and the results amazed me.
    In this episode, I share how giving up alcohol for longer periods of time opened a new depth in my relationships, enhanced my emotional clarity, and helped me reconnect with myself. This isn’t about rules or guilt—it’s about being your own life doula, giving yourself a break from intoxication, and letting your body, mind, and spirit truly thrive. If you’ve ever wondered what sobriety might bring to your life, join me for this heartfelt conversation.

  • The 5 books that had the biggest impact on me in 2024
    In this episode, I’m sharing the five books that had a profound impact on me last year—Atomic Habits, Sink Reflections, The Magic of Thinking Big, I Will Teach You to Be Rich, and Womb. These books didn’t just teach me new ideas; they changed how I approach my daily life, my dreams, and even my finances.
    I’ll talk about how each book influenced my year and how the recurring theme of “growth over perfection” shaped my perspective. I am convinced that reflecting on books in community amplifies their power.
    If you love personal growth, inspiring reads, and the idea of meaningful conversations, this episode is for you!

  • My reasons for becoming an End-of-life doula
    Death is a conversation most of us avoid—but what if we didn’t have to? In this episode, I share the deeply personal reasons behind my decision to train as an end-of-life doula.
    🌿 I’ll talk about the profound experience of witnessing my uncle’s peaceful transition in hospice care and how it shaped my view of death.
    🌿 I’ll explore the parallels between birth and death, and how our modern detachment from these natural processes has fueled unnecessary fear.
    🌿 I’ll explain why I want to show up for my loved ones with courage and knowledge when their time comes.
