    For those wondering where I’ve been and what I’ve been up to all summer, the tea’s finally all here 🫖😎 It felt so good to jump back on the mic and talk stream-of-consciousness on this episode! It’s a solo goodie filled with reflections around a quiet (but really really lovely) summertime season and all of the revelations it left me with.


    Some topics covered:


    • Why I stepped back from social media (& basically ALL marketing!) this summer!

    • Finding peace in enoughness instead of constantly pursuing more

    • What business looks & feels like in this season (*just right*)

    • Revelations from wedding planning so far (the good, the bad, and the ugly friends !!!)

    + Plenty of thoughts on trust, surrender and releasing control (story of my everyday)

  • S5/Ep06 Lessons In Patience, Persistence & Adversity from Building A Supplement Brand from Scratch with with Hannah & Alex Vukota, Founders of GlowGummyCo

    What does it take to build and launch a supplement brand from scratch? Alex and Hannah Vukota, founders of GlowGummyCo (& fellow dear clients & genuinely amazing humans) join me on the show today to share their story along with all of the lessons learned & insights garnered from their journey. 


    Here are the top takeaways from this beautiful chat: 


    • On patience & perseverance (bc the business journey can be full of BIG ups & downs): the things worth building rarely happen overnight


    • On building something new & novel in the industry: innovation often begins where others see limitations (especially when they tell you “it can’t be done”)


    • What it’s like to build a business together as a married couple: a great partnership isn't about doing the same things, but rather about doing different things well


    • How to connect with your consumer: when introducing something new, clarity matters more than complexity (especially when educating your audience)


    • On future goals: small wins create the momentum for lasting growth 


    Be sure to follow GlowGummyCo to stay in the know on all things brand growth & innovation!

    • Being humbled through financial hardship & credit card debt and *finally* asking for help

    • Detaching identity from income, success, and business performance

  • S5/Ep02 Navigating Un-Motivated Creative Seasons, Reframing Discipline & Embracing Feeling "Lost" — Reflection Series with Ashley

    Hi friends! I'm back with Ashley today for another aligned and unfiltered reflection series.


    You know those seasons of life where nothing seems to budge? Those periods of “creative constipation” where ideas aren’t flowing as frequently and the motivation to make, welp… just isn’t motivating. I’ve been met with many of those periods this year and it’s unearthed a curiosity to understand why, how and what exactly do they mean.


    Together with Ashley, we discuss: 

    • Laziness as a signal of misalignment, not a character flaw
    • Is motivation just FEAR in disguise? 🤔 (aka: seeking approval, validation, belonging)
    • Letting go of rigid routines and finding a deeper kind of discipline in trusting God
    • Money, receiving, and the subtle ways we’re still being provided for
    • What it means to be “lost on purpose” and keep handing our stories over


    And so much more! No matter what season this episode finds you in (creative momentum or drought alike), I hope this convo brings you comfort and the reminder that you’re exactly where you’re meant to be friend (always) 🫂


    💌 Listener Invitation:

    Take a moment today to notice one place where you’ve been labeling yourself as “lazy” or “unmotivated,” and instead ask: What story am I believing here.  Am I willing to hand it over?

  • S5/Ep01 Embracing More Spontaneity, Redefining Impact & Unlearning To Remember Deeper Peace — Reflection Series with Ashley

    Hi friends 👋 The pod is BACK, and rather unplanned, but I’m excited to share that that is *actually* the point (both in today’s beautiful dialogue and for the rest of this outstanding season moving forward).


    Nudged by a request from my dear friend & mentor, Ashley Abramson, I heeded an invitation to hop on the mic and record a catch-up, kickstarting a new season that will continue to unfold more organically and spontaneously, in contrast to my former (and more *perfectly* batched and executed) initiatives. The point being: to honor whatever may come up in the moment and release deeper expectations that come with traditionally planning and executing projects (who’s guilty?!) I’m looking forward to embracing this new format and leaving space for unexpected magic to come up ✨ 


    What you can expect from today’s episode:

    • Intro: An informal life catchup (what the heck I’ve been up to recently)

    • What living spontaneously *really* means (no plans necessary) 

    • Redefining impact & purpose (no social followers needed)

    • Intentional prayer: the difference between requesting outcomes & surrendering stories

    • The beauty of unlearning & coming back to being more childlike

    • What to expect from this season


    ✍️ Listener Prompts:

    • Where am I still trying to control the outcome instead of trusting the process?

    • What would happen if I stopped planning and simply allowed?

    • What would “spirit-led” action look like today?

  • S4/Ep20 Releasing Private Thoughts, Teaching From Love & Remembering Joy — Reflection Series 04 with Ashley

    In this final Season 4 episode, I’m joined yet again by my dear friend and mentor, Ashley Abramson, for a another beautiful ‘Reflection Session’ dialogue. Together with Ashley, we’re reflecting on the journey that this pod season has brought forth (for the both of us collectively!), and unpack the practice of releasing ‘private thoughts’, how people-pleasing shows up in everyday life, and why giving is receiving (in it’s truest, most Spirit-led form).


    We also discuss:

    • How unexpressed truths can manifest as emotional or even physical pain in the body

    • The difference between “finding” joy vs. remembering it

    • Why we are always abundant (despite what we think our external reality may be showing us)

    • What it really means to teach from love vs. fear (and how we’re always teaching)


    A most tender and special close to the season, I hope this dialogue offers nourishment to anyone navigating their own moments of the “in-between” and seeking a more grounded sense of freedom and peace from within ♥️


  • 📚 Resources Mentioned:

    Forgiveness and Jesus Book

    A Course In Miracles

    Conscious Loving Book

    Ashley’s PBJ YouTube Video


    ✍️ Listener Prompts:

    • Where might you be holding onto private thoughts out of fear, shame, or the desire to people please?

    • What are the small ways you could practice micro-truths in your relationships today?

    • When was the last time you truly gave without needing something in return?

  • S4/Ep19 Solo Update: Welcoming Discomfort In The In-Between, Unearthing Deeper Integrity and Closing Thoughts On This Messy (But Magical) Season Of Change

    Hi friends! Today I’m sharing my final solo update for this season of the pod. Join me as I talk through my latest life happenings and sentiments I’ve been sitting with, most notably: the journey of the “in-between”, that messy, middle space between who you once were and who you are becoming.


    I’m also sharing:

    • What to do when old patterns resurface? (How I’m meeting them with so much more awareness and grace now)

    • Thoughts on integrity (esp what it looks like when you’re evolving)

    • How discomfort and confusion can be invitations to grow 

    • The shift from psychoanalyzing our pain → surrendering it to God

    • The radical freedom of saying “I don’t know what’s next” and embracing it 


    What I initially thought would be a tidy season wrap-up with a big “ah-ha” moment at the end is instead an impromptu sharing on what it feels like to sit in the fog and still trust that light is guiding the way ✨


    I hope you enjoy ♥️


    Listener Prompts:

    • What old patterns are still showing up in your life? Can you see them as invitations, not failures?

    • When was the last time you felt discomfort in a conversation—and what did your body try to tell you in that moment?

    • Are there moments where you've agreed outwardly but disagreed inwardly? What would full integrity have looked like instead?

  • S4/Ep18 Relationships As Mirrors, Nurturing Authentic Business Growth & Healing Through Beadwork with Bahati Benjamin

    Today I’m joined by Bahati Benjamin — researcher, creative, mother, wife, and founder of Balebé, a beading studio and mindfulness practice centered around healing, culture, and intentional community.


    Together with Bahati, we talk about the messiness, mystery (and magic too) of change in partnerships and career. From the power of possibility thinking to letting go of expectations, Bahati shares her evolving relationship with entrepreneurship, what it means to surrender control, and how building Balebé was never in her original plan, but unfolded into something even better than imagined.


    💭 We Discuss:

    • ​Setting expectations vs embracing the unknown in life & business 
    • ​The sneaky ways goal-setting can give us a false sense of control
    • ​Marriage, boundaries, and showing up in long-term partnership
    • ​The creative and spiritual power of beadwork as a mindfulness tool
    • ​The beauty of stepping away to reconnect with true alignment in our work


    Bahati also opens up about her decision to return to full-time work while continuing to nurture Balebé, and how she's learning to trust divine timing, embrace duality, and release the pressure to prove herself.


    ✍️ Listener Prompts

    • ​Where am I pushing against something that's no longer working?
    • ​What would it look like to soften and let something unfold instead?
    • ​How do I balance being of service to others with honoring what I need?
