Unwineding

243: Just us this week with a little hi, bye, and advice that has truly altered my brain chemistry. Should we make this a series? Because I could probably record 1,000 of these. This week's advice is for my *fellow* overthinkers and for anyone wanting to have more bravery in their decisions... maybe take a few more risks? Maybe stop underestimating yourself? All of the above? I hope it hits & let me know if it does. LOVE YOU. x

242: So you wanna become a content creator? Or you’ve been thinking about starting your own brand? Maybe both? This is the episode for you. I’m joined by my beautiful friend Kira Jones—content creator, founder of Cacti Wellness, and branding QUEEN—to talk all things consistency, building a brand you actually love, and becoming the kind of creator you’d follow.

We talk all things content creation, brand building, and what it really takes to grow on platforms like Instagram and TikTok in 2025. From developing physical products to navigating creative burnout, Kira shares the behind-the-scenes of scaling her business while staying true to her vision.

We also dive into:

Hope you love! SEE YOU NEXT WEEK. X

241: Because not everyone deserves to experience you (in fact, I wish people could un-experience me, you know what I mean?). You wouldn't know by the title, but this episode is slightly chaotic and I did, in fact, cry of laughter because that's just what happens when I'm with Lauren. It's Lauren's third time on Unwineding for a little dating/relationship/& friendship talk - again, like we're on FaceTime but happened to be recording. Take whatever you need from this episode & leave the rest - LOVE YOU. x

240: Another round of solicited dating advice led by my favorite comedian & returning guest, Zack Signore. Whether you should or shouldn't take our advice is up to you, but we're getting into: exclusivity vs. boyfriend/girlfriend, emotionally unavailable men, picking hot a$$holes, de-centering men (while still falling in love), and tooooo much more.

Hope you enjoy (but I know you will!!!), LOVE YOU. x

239: I can live without somebody's son for a little longer but without my best friends? Not even a single day. My beautiful, smart, funny, and perfect friend Angie Lassman is back on Unwineding and this time we're unpacking all things friendship. We chat about why making and maintaining friendships in your late 20s/30s can feel so tough (but why it's so worth it), how friendship breakups impact us, and why expectations can make or break even the closest bonds.

Whether you're feeling stuck in a friendship rut or simply want to deepen your current relationships, think of this episode as your go-to guide for understanding the complexities of female friendship. Plus, we debate the concept of “low-maintenance friends” and why it’s okay to have high standards when it comes to your bestest friends.

As always, take whatever you need from this episode and leave the rest. LOVE YOU. x

238: Apparently our thoughts have the ability to create the life of our dreams... and we're getting into all of it today. It's just us this week for a quick girl talk/catchup before we get into the five gems I took from April's book, Don't Believe Everything You Think, by Joseph Nguyen. I am, for once, not being dramatic when I say—this book is life-changing (and if you're a *fellow* over-thinker, I cannnnnot recommend it enough). I hope there's something in this episode you needed (and I'd selfishly love to know what it was).

237: Things my bff did: scale Nyud to a 7-figure, community-driven swimwear brand—and today, we're getting all the juice. Em is back on the podcast for one of my favorite episodes ever, talking all things branding, business, and leadership. We dive into how Nyud came into her life, what it takes to build a competitive edge in a crowded market, and what it really means to create a brand that feels timeless and human.

Em shares the power of truly listening to your customers and how she (and her incredible team) make every single consumer feel seen, heard, and valued.

She also opens up about the hardest parts of scaling a business, what growing and managing a team has taught her about leadership, and how much ambition it takes to build the brand of your dreams.

If you're looking for inspiration, this episode is for you. I'm truly in awe of Em every single day and I'm so excited to share her with you this week.

236: An episode dedicated to my *fellow* overthinkers. I'm sharing advice I've been needing lately on: why we overthink, examples of when we're assuming & catastrophizing instead of gathering facts, and tangible ways to stop spiraling. The goal? To stay calmer and realize that an unanswered text does not mean we're in danger. To learn how to self-regulate, self-soothe, and trust ourselves more. To stay present.

As always, take whatever you need & leave the rest. LOVE YOU. x

235: Take a shot every time I say "self-sabotage." In this episode, we're diving into the most powerful lessons from The Mountain Is You by Brianna Wiest (our March book club pick!)— all about why we self-sabotage, how to recognize when we’re playing small, and what it really means to glow up from the inside out. The amount of gems in this book? The limit *simply* does not exist, but I share my five most valuable and impactful lessons that I hope resonate. As always, take whatever you need & leave the rest. LOVE YOU. x
