Sometimes the bravest thing you'll ever do is begin again.

Starting over can feel like failure.

Like letting go.

Like losing everything you've worked so hard to build.

But what if it isn't the end of your story?

What if it's the beginning of one that finally feels like your own?

In this episode, I'm sharing a love letter to anyone who's standing at the edge of a new beginning. Together we'll talk about why starting over feels so scary, why we often stay in places we've already outgrown, and how choosing to begin again might become one of the greatest gifts you ever give yourself.

Because sometimes life isn't asking you to go backwards.

It's inviting you forward.

If you're afraid to take the first step, I hope this episode reminds you that new beginnings don't erase your story.

They become part of it.

Have you ever felt like healing means you can't mess up?

Like one setback means you've undone all your progress?

I know that feeling well.

Over time, I stopped seeing my mistakes as proof I was failing and started seeing them as proof that I was human.

Healing isn't about perfection.

It's about learning to meet yourself with compassion, even on the hard days.

I talk more about that in today's episode, and I hope it reminds you that one setback doesn't define your journey.

People are going to use anything they can if they really want you to break your boundaries…and guilt? That’s definitely going to be one of them

As a former people pleaser, it’s my least favorite manipulation tactic. I know how hard it is to see through the guilt trip and push through to choose yourself

Instead of letting you uphold a boundary or stand up for yourself, guilt is used to make you do what they want at the expense of yourself. And after you feel guilty enough to do what they want? You now feel guilty for letting them do that to you. Boy, it is a cycle!

It’s hard, but not impossible…find out how to flip the script on this episode!

Sometimes that fairytale begins with a plane ticket.

For me, it looked like wandering the streets of Budapest, cocktail in hand on a rooftop overlooking the city, slowing down over long dinners, and collecting one "pinch me" moment after another.

There's something magical about travel. Not because it changes who you are, but because it creates those quiet moments where you stop and think, "I can't believe this is my life." It almost doesn't feel real...and yet it is. That's part of the magic.

In this episode, I'm taking you with me through my solo trip to Budapest and sharing the moments that made it unforgettable. But this isn't just a travel story. It's a reflection on wonder, intention, trusting yourself, and discovering that the magic of a place isn't only found in where you go—it's found in how you choose to experience it.

Because maybe a fairytale isn't something we stumble upon.

Maybe it's something we create through the choices we make, the beauty we allow ourselves to notice, and the adventures we're willing to say yes to.

I hope this episode inspires you to embrace curiosity, seek out those "pinch me" moments, and remember that you're allowed to create a life that feels extraordinary in ways both big and small.

After all, the most beautiful part of the fairytale is realizing it isn't someone else's story.

It's your own.

This love letter is dedicated to all my inner baddies that struggle with letting go of what’s not meant for them, even when they can feel deep down in their soul it’s the right thing to do

As someone who hates letting go of things in my life, whether it be people or material things, this lesson was one of the hardest ones for me to learn while on my healing journey

They say let go to create space for what’s meant for you, but the thought of letting go of someone or something I decided to let in and love? It was more heart breaking than actually letting it go

Because healing isn’t about taking the easy route. So on this episode let’s go through this sh*t together…so we can see why it’s worth it on the other side

Sincerely, a love letter to yourself 🤍

It’s time to get outside and touch grass, my beautiful baddies. This episode is not meant for the couch dwellers, it’s for my baddies that wake up wanting to get outside!

Some people just aren’t meant to live a boring life! That friend that’s always traveling? That friend that’s doing side quests for fun? That friend that’s doing it for the plot? They’re living their best lives because they want more out of their life! 

Hear how saying yes to opportunities, deciding to live for ourselves, and our deep love of travel pushes Miz and I to really live life…and not hide from it

It can be hard to express your feelings out loud. Sometimes it feels like you can’t form the words, can’t find the right words, and it makes you feel like you have to keep it inside if you can’t say it properly

But there are so many different ways you can express yourself so that you don’t trap those feelings inside of you

Because there is no right way around here to express what you need to, it’s just what works for you

Let’s figure out together what creative outlets can help us express ourselves, and which one became mine

You aren’t meant to hustle and go a million miles an hour all the time. You aren’t meant to be in survival mode all the time. You were not built to live in a constant state of to-do lists.

You were built to live, really live and enjoy the moments

Slowing down used to feel almost like a panic attack to me. I felt like I had to go 100 miles per hour to live life, otherwise I wasn’t doing it right. But life kept forcing me to slow down when I didn’t want to - until I decided to try and slow down for myself

So this love letter is dedicated to all those who are in need of slowing down, when it feels so wrong to do

Sincerely, a love letter to yourself 🤍

It’s exhausting always having to be the bigger person!

Knowing dirt on them, but not saying anything. Coming up with the best comeback, but having to say it to yourself in the shower instead of saying it to them

I mean, come on! Who doesn’t want - just once - to let go and not be the bigger person??

But on this journey, we never compromise on who we are to deal with people not worth our time…because when they go low they just show you that they’re already not on your playing field. You’ve already won, don’t sink to their level and take that away from yourself

Hear more on this episode from Miz and I on how being the bigger person can suck, but it’s worth it every time 

Did you believe that struggling with your mental health made you a burden? That going through tough times meant you needed to isolate rather than lean on others? That voice in your head telling you to stop being so dramatic, or to stop feeling the way you do?

There’s so much stigma around feeling down, feeling depressed, having mental health issues, and a lot of that leads you to believe you are a burden - especially to others

I spent so much of my time struggling with mental health believing that, when that was so not the truth. It turns out the whole time you’re fighting yourself to just “be better” or to “stop feeling that”, that’s when you really needed compassion, from yourself and others
