  • Beneath the Surface: Friendship, Vulnerability, & We’re Not Really Strangers

    This weeks episode is something special- I invite two of my closest friends for a round of We’re Not Really Strangers, and we didn’t hold back.


    We talked love, identity, fears, and the power of being seen, all the things we usually avoid in everyday conversations. It’s raw. It’s real. It’s exactly what I needed- and maybe what you need, too.


    Beneath the Surface, now streaming!

  • Meraki Rebirth: Living With Intention Again

    After soul restoring pause, The Meraki Podcast is back.

    This season begins with a return to the heart of it all: choosing everyday to live with intention, even when it’s messy, uncertain, or quiet.


    In this episode, I reflect on the power of rest, the lesson in the stillness, and what it means to begin again.

  • The Grass Is Always Greener Where You Water It


    On today’s episode #50, I will be talking about the shiny object syndrome & how often people look for the next big thing. People become to blinded on what they don’t have and become so focused on what everyone else does have. Instead of focusing on & being stuck in a vicious cycle, appreciate what you already have. The grass isn’t always greener on the other side. Good things take time and love.
