  • 37. Reflecting on My Time in Law School + My Advice for Post Grad/Our 20s

    Today I sit down, a week and a half after my law school graduation with a glass of wine + my emotions all over the place to really share how I'm feeling post grad. This isn't my first rodeo but something about this being my doctorate degree + the amount of personal growth I have accomplished alongside my degree has me feeling really proud + in awe of myself. I get candid on confidence, not being emotional about graduating (when you think you would be), moving back in with your parents OR moving to a new city, adult friendships after college/grad school and working remotely. I share my post grad life + career plans aka the bar exam, my 3 weeks in Europe Bar Trip, working as an Influencer Marketing Consultant and once licensed, attorney, running my own businesses (!!) and my bigger vision for my life + more. You don't wanna miss this one, its candid like I haven't been on a solo in SO long! If you want me to dive in on any more of these topics please lmk in a review, DM, message on Geneva or email + I will answer ASAP. Now off to bar prep, it'll all be so worth it I know, law school really taught me that!

  • 36. How To Turn Your Passion for Food + Travel Into a Business with Taysty Travels’ Taylor Dante

    Today I sit down with my G Big Taylor from back in my sorority days and we talk all about how she took her love of food and travel and built Taysty Travels! We share the story of how she came up with this name, a great lesson on branding too. Taylor is the self proclaimed Chief Eating Officer and she is so knowledgable on events, experiential marketing, media dines and just how to take a passion and turn it into a business! Over the years she has taught me so much and I loved getting to catch up and now share some her lessons with you. Stay tuned to watch us eat our way through Miami together and more - plus some exciting expansions of her business as she transitions to both a food and travel blogger, and all around lifestyle influencer!

  • 35. Tips for Navigating Law School and Post Grad Life aka the Bar Exam and Working at a Firm with My Law School BFF Yasmin

    Today I sit down with my law school BFF, my ride or die Yasmin, who is my law school mentor, one of the first people I met at UTK Law ever and the person that helped me get through it the last 3 years. We don't see each other everyday now like we used to but whenever we are together we have a blast reminiscing, gossiping and of course reflecting on law school and all the ups and downs of being a lawyer (for her, she's been practicing 2 years!) 

    We had an impromptu girls weekend in a random cabin in middle TN and decided to record a wine night chat all about these ups and downs and lessons we learned along the way. We also talk about her experience with the Bar Exam during peak covid no less, OCIs to get a job, journals and getting involved on campus during law school. Plus she shares her experience in BigLaw which is highly coveted but not always spoken candidly about so I'm especially excited for this convo. I get asked so often my advice and tips for law school but I'm only one person with one experience so I love being able to use this podcast to share others with you in addition to mine.

    She has some incredible advice and insight that I've been privy to for the last years and I am so grateful for our friendship so I hope you enjoy a sneak peak into it and gain some valuable tips about life, career and more. If you want more of Yasmin check her out on Tik Tok and ask us any questions for a part 2, we love any excuse to do a happy hour girls chat! 


    In my intro I get a little mushy with you on how I'm feeling this week going into graduation weekend and I want to do a whole solo pod on this in June so ask me any questions on IG DMs about any of this. As I begin bar prep and go off social media in the next month this will be the best way to check in with me so be sure to subscribe to stay tuned!

  • 34. The Versatility of A Social Work Degree + How Our Mental Health Stories Can Empower Us with Fiorella Bianchi

    Today I sit down with my friend Fiorella Bianchi, a licensed clinical social worker in Miami who started off as a theater kid and is now a major yogi and a beautiful resource for mental health, self care and healing. We talk a lot about her job as a social worker in a school setting, the various career paths one can have as a social worker and what it means to be a social worker. Its like a late night happy hour with a new friend you just click with and its so special to really connect on such a deep level so fast which is a testament to the incredible energy Fiorella has. Since we met almost 2 months ago she has become such a great friend and light in my DMs and life and I am honored to share her and this conversation with you!


    With this two part Mental Health Awareness Month series my goal was to highlight that our personal stories of mental health and healing can lead us to a life of abundance and I hope these two episodes resonated and encouraged you to pursue what sets your soul on fire and what makes you feel good. There is so much out there for us, if only we believe in our power, and these two stories hopefully give us all the courage to do so!

  • 33. Leaning Into Your Emotions and the Power of Being An Emotional Entrepreneur with Scout Sobel

    Today I sit down with my dear friend Scout Sobel, the multi faceted, inspirational founder of Scout's Agency, the best selling author of the Emotional Entrepreneur and the host of the Emotional Entrepreneur podcast and cohost of Okay Sis podcast with her sister Mady. I mean this resume! We get candid on all things mental health and how her bipolar disorder changed her life in the best way, led her to the career path she's on today and to living a life of abundance, support and alignment. 

    Her book, the Emotional Entrepreneur is the handbook for entrepreneur's everywhere who are not willing to sacrifice themselves and their mental health and the quotes at the beginning of each section are my fave and I have learned so many lessons about myself from reading. She shares her crazy writing process and the story of how this book came about which I loved! 10/10 recommend you check it out alongside her two podcasts.

    A common theme on this podcast is nonlinear paths and Scout's story is the definition of that. I hope this encourages you to go on a journey of self discovery, recovery, healing, growth and self love. The opportunities that will come your way once you begin to do the work and live in abundance will blow you away in the absolute best way. Her story is truly one everyone needs to hear and we can all learn so much from Scout and her vulnerability, I am honored to be able to share it with all of you!

  • 32. Knowing When It's Time To Ride a New Wave, Reframing the Relationship Timeline + Giving Back to Our Planet with Emily Padan

    Today I sit down with my friend Emily, co-owner of Hinter Company and founder of Bloom Class for a heartwarming and candid chat on everything from toxic relationships to following your gut and listening to your body to reimagining teaching to sustainability initiatives. She inspires me to continue being a multi hyphenate woman everyday and I loved hearing how she met her husband, how they started Hinter and about the ups and downs along the way. She is such a beautiful soul, everyone should give her a follow for incredible mindfulness and slow living tips - we can definitely all use those from time to time. And her travels are awe inducing so you don't want to miss those either. Emily makes it a point to slow down and enjoy life's little moments, a message that I really needed to hear and I hope it resonates with you too!

  • 30. From Sports Agent to Top Sports, Entertainment + IP Lawyer to Drafting NIL Legislation with Darren Heitner

    Today I sit down with someone I look up to tremendously as a lawyer but also as a trailblazer! Darren is one of the top NIL and IP lawyers in sports and entertainment law today and getting to share his wisdom and hear it myself means the world to me.
