This episode is for anyone who ever thought they couldn’t make it on their own.

For the ones who stayed in situations out of fear.

For the ones who said, “I can’t do this without them.”

But spoiler alert: you can.

You did.

You are.

In this episode, I talk about what it was really like starting over after an 8+ year relationship — from paying rent solo for the first time, to sneaky-link distractions, to figuring out dating apps after almost a decade off the market. It was messy, awkward, funny, overwhelming… and exactly what I needed to rebuild myself.

We get into:

• Realizing you’re stronger without the “dead weight”

• Having a sneaky link without confusing it for healing

• The awkward chaos of Hinge conversations

• Learning how to be seen again

• Finding hope — not in someone else, but in yourself

Didn’t go off track this time (okay maybe just a little).

From birthday emotions to CrossFit vibes, and having fun — this one’s a mix of laughs, lessons, and trying to keep it together like a grown-up.

Also talked brief about chia seeds — it’s a lie, you don’t lose weight within a days or a week lol.

After a month I'm back -

Guess who’s back… After throwing my back out (literally), I took a forced pause — but I’m back on the mic and back in my groove. In this episode, I’m catching you up on my healing, the chaos of recovery, and the high of finally walking for my degree. From back pain to stage slay — let’s talk about the comeback.

Sometimes healing means looking back and realizing you’re no longer the person you were when you loved someone. In this episode, I get real about how I outgrew the version of me that confused sacrifice with love, tolerated what I’d never allow today, and lost parts of myself just to keep the peace.

I share what changed when I started choosing me — setting boundaries, saying no, and not letting guilt write my story. Growth made me unrecognizable, even to myself, and that’s the point: it’s about moving differently, protecting your peace, and being proud of who you became without them.

This one’s for anyone who’s ever thought, “Damn, I don’t even recognize who I was back then.”

Because the truth is, you’re not supposed to. 

This one’s for the quiet ones—the ones who chose peace over pettiness, and healing over chaos. In this episode, I talk about reaching that point where the triggers don’t shake you anymore, karma’s not your focus, and you stop giving your energy to things that don’t serve you.

I share the moment I truly chose myself, what peace actually looks like (spoiler: it’s not loud), and why healing didn’t make me bitter—it made me softer, smarter, and better.

If you’ve ever been told you sound “bitter,” this episode will prove otherwise. You’re not bitter, bff… you’re better. 💪✨

Still waiting for closure? This one’s for you.

I dive into the relationship that drained me, the closure I never got, and the peace I chose instead.

Sometimes the apology never comes.... So I gave myself what she wouldn’t.

No final convo. No explanation. Just healing, for me.

I thought I couldn't make it without her. Turns out, I was the one carrying us the whole time. This is the story of how a breakup, a gym switch, and a trip to New York reminded me of my own strength.

Everyone expected me to fall apart after my breakup — and sometimes, I did. But not in the way they imagined.

Instead of crying every day, I found myself laughing with strangers, leaning on my sisters, traveling more than I had in years, and even finding little sparks of joy when I least expected it.

This episode is for anyone who’s healing in their own way — even if it doesn’t look like what people expect. 💛

I hit record thinking I was going to talk about my feelings and a recent breakup… but I ended up sharing something else instead: my nerves, my self-doubt, CrossFit, Vegan and why I almost didn’t make this episode at all.
This is the most unfiltered and real I’ve been so far. I talk about why I haven’t told many people about this podcast, how scared I was to post Episode 2, and how healing isn’t always pretty — but it’s still progress.
I know this episode is a little all over the place, but so is growth sometimes. If you’ve ever second-guessed yourself or almost gave up on something you love, this one’s for you.

In this episode, I get real about what healing actually looked like for me — not the IG-perfect version with candles and journaling, but the raw, quiet, sometimes numb kind that showed up after my separation.
I talk about what I thought healing would feel like, what it really felt like, and the unexpected ways growth shows up — like in hotel rooms with your friends after months of pretending you’re fine.
If you’re in the messy part, I see you. This episode is for you. 💛
