  • 20. Tandem Leadership with Gina Catalano

    Hey guys!!!

    We made it to the 20th episode woohoo!!! Thanks so much for sticking around through it all. Today I have a very special episode prepared for you guys... it's my first time having a guest on the pod that isn't a friend of mine.

    A while ago I read the book Tandem Leadership by Gina Catalano and it absolutely blew me away! I learnt so much about teamwork and leadership, and honestly... I can say I experienced a mindset shift. As an experienced fractional COO, Gina has a wealth of knowledge and graciously agreed to come on the podcast and share some of her wisdom and experience. Enjoy!

  • 18. Unrequited Love (Lessons on Love #1)

    Hey guys! Happy Monday!

    This week I was reminded of just how lonely many of us have been feeling since the pandemic came about. In today's episode I wanted to discuss my personal experience with unrequited love and loneliness, as well as share some lessons that have changed my perspective and brought me some much needed joy, peace and encouragement. Battling the longing for love is still difficult, but I hope this episode leaves you feeling a little hopeful and encouraged :)

  • 16. The Four Loves: Friendship

    Let's talk books! This year one of my goals is to fall in love with reading again. In this episode I take a look at the book The Four Loves by C.S. Lewis which discusses Affection, Friendship, Eros and Charity. I've only read the section on frienship so far, and I've learned so so much! So listen as I take you through my thoughts and favourite quotes from the book...

    This book is simple yet profound, and I definitely recommend it :)

  • 15. Poetry and Papa Problems
    Hey guys!
    As promised, in today’s episode I decided to share a little poem I wrote back in high school entitled “My Father”. I also reflect on the story behind this poem, and how as I’ve grown older, I’m starting to take more time to reflect on emotions I’ve left buried for a long time. It’s not easy, but your girl is on a journey to wholeness and balance. Hope you’ll stick around for the ride! :)

  • 12. Waiting...Again

    Hey guys!

    Who's ready for round 2? In today's episode I share how not long after sharing my apartment testimony with y'all, I'm back in a similar situation...again. Things are both easier and harder this time, but as always we're having faith and finding strength in the Lord. He has done it before and will do it again! 


    Here's a link to Mike Todds' Crazyer Faith series, it's helped me so much and I hope it helps you too!

  • 11. Relationships, Rants & Realness w/Rachel

    Happy October!!!

    So this month I'm sharing an episode I recorded all the way back in July with my dear friend Rachel. Honestly guys, we touched on a lot of topics and it was a real, unstructured conversation, but if you're down for lots of laughs and some hard hitting questions then this is an episode that will definitely interest you. Thanks so much Rach for hopping on this with me, it's always so fun when we sit down for these together!
