You at Your Best

Sometimes, the simplest things are the ones that make us feel the most like ourselves. In this week's fun episode, I share a kind of specific list of things that make me feel hot, weird, happy, alive, and truly present with myself.

In this episode, I share:

• The little things that instantly make me feel like myself
• Why music, writing, and genuine human art hit me so deeply
• The things that let me completely unmask and be my weirdest self
• The random moments that make me feel hot, happy, and genuinely connected to myself

In this week's insight episode, I share some of the reminders that have helped me when I get stuck in rumination, intrusive thoughts, uncertainty, or the need to understand myself. If your brain constantly asks “what if?”, makes you question your feelings, or convinces you that you need to find the perfect answer before you can move on, I hope this episode feels like a reminder that you are not alone.

In this episode, I share:

• Reminders for when intrusive thoughts feel scary or completely unlike you
• Why you don't have to solve or analyze every thought that you get
• Some thoughts may be OCD, not intuition
• Why healing OCD is non-linear and what to remember during a flare-up
• Learning to live your life without needing complete certainty

In this episode, I share the story of how I came to understand my OCD, what it was like to spend years feeling like I wasn’t allowed to believe myself, & the grief/relief that came with finally having an explanation. I also talk about starting medication, the fear that it would change who I am, & what I’m learning now that I don’t have to spend my entire life dissecting myself.

In this episode, I discuss:

• What it was like to suspect I had OCD for years without a diagnosis
• The loneliness and uncertainty of not knowing whether I could trust my own experiences
• How getting diagnosed changed the way I understood my childhood and my past
• The grief of realizing how much shame and self-hatred came from OCD
• What I’m learning now about uncertainty, letting go, & finally just living

In this week's insight episode, I build on an idea I shared in last week's episode: allowing others to help you, compliment you, love you, and give to you is an important part of being human. Receiving doesn't make you conceited, helpless, or a bad person. You don't have to immediately return every favor, and accepting someone's kindness doesn't mean you'll become dependent on them. Sometimes, we simply have to learn how to let good things reach us.

In this episode, I share:

• Why women often struggle to allow others to help us
• How to gracefully accept help, compliments, and kindness without minimizing them
• Why receiving can feel vulnerable, even when we know we deserve what we're being given
• Why simply being ourselves can be a way of returning favors
• Why truly being able to receive requires presence

In this week's reflection episode, I explore what feminine sensuality actually means to me and why I believe it has so little to do with sexuality. Sensuality is about presence, confidence, pleasure, embodiment, and becoming more available to your own life.

In this episode, I share:

• What feminine sensuality means beyond sexuality and appearance
• Why being present in your body can change the way you experience your life
• How confidence, pleasure, receiving, intimacy, and intuition connect to sensuality
• Why sensuality is ultimately about learning to be fully here with yourself

In this week's fun episode, I share a list of things I used to struggle to allow myself to do because I was afraid they weren't “cool” enough. I talk about the importance of doing what makes us happy, even when we fear judgment, and why the things on this list are actually pretty cool.

In this episode, I discuss:

• Allowing ourselves to express our emotions & be visibly excited
• Dressing for ourselves & caring less about how we look
• Allowing ourselves to be sentimental & emotional
• Caring about self-improvement
• Not being ashamed of loving & enjoying things

In this week's insight episode, I talk about the difference between starting over as a healthy choice and starting over as a way to avoid discomfort. Starting over isn't inherently bad. Sometimes, it's exactly what we need. But taking a small pause before making a big decision can help us understand what we're actually trying to change and gently notice the patterns behind our choices.

In this episode, I share:

• Why starting over can sometimes become a form of avoidance
• How to tell the difference between healthy change and impulsive decisions
• The importance of pausing and asking yourself why you want to start over
• How gently noticing your patterns can help you make more intentional choices

In this week's reflection episode, I share a life update about my mental health and finally receiving an OCD diagnosis before reflecting on the idea of integration. Looking back at my older podcast episodes reminded me that, even though I've changed, I've always been me. The biggest difference isn't who I am. It's the relationship I have with myself.

In this episode, I share:

• Why being diagnosed with OCD brought me relief and changed how I understand myself
• The story behind re-uploading my older podcast episodes & what that taught me about healing
• How shame can make us separate ourselves into different "versions" instead of seeing ourselves as one whole person
• Why growth doesn't mean leaving your past self behind
