    Everything I Did Wrong in My 20s...//Leaving my 20s Behind + Stepping Into a New Decade!

    2026/04/06 | 50 mins.
    It's my birthday week, and I'm turning the big 3-0! I've been doing a lot of reflecting on the woman I was in my 20s, and if I'm being honest, there are a lot of things I'm not proud of. 
    In this episode, I'm opening up about some of the mistakes and decisions I made throughout my 20s; the things I'm not proud of, but that ultimately shaped who I am today.
    This isn't about shame. It's about growth. 
    Because the truth is, sometimes you have to live through the wrong things to learn what's right. And every version of me, even the messy ones, played a role in getting me here. I hope this episode brings you a sense of peace that you don't have to have it all figured out yet. And you also don't have to be a victim to your mistakes.

    Things No One Tells You About Your First Year of Marriage

    2026/03/30 | 46 mins.
    I've officially been married for one year! Which means, of course I have to share the knowledge of everything I learned in my first year of marriage with the girls. In this episode, I’m sharing the things no one really prepares you for. From communication and conflict, to softness, intimacy, and the daily choice to love someone even in the most unfiltered, real-life moments. 

    Marriage has a way of revealing you. Your habits, your patterns, your triggers, and teaching you how to show up differently. It’s not about perfection, it’s about growth, intention, and learning how to build something together.

    If you’re married, engaged, or even just thinking about what a healthy relationship looks like, this conversation will give you an honest look into what marriage has taught me so far.

    Stop Holding Onto Who You Used to Be... //Growth Requires Letting Go

    2026/03/16 | 36 mins.
    In this episode, we're talking about identity shifts and the natural evolution that happens as women grow through different seasons of life. Each chapter asks something different of us. The woman you were when life looked one way might not be the woman you need to be when your responsibilities, priorities, and purpose begin to change. 

    Growth often requires letting go of old identities, old mindsets, and even old expectations about who we thought we would be. Not because that version of you was wrong, but because she served her purpose for that time. This conversation is about giving yourself permission to evolve and fully step into who you're meant to be now. Because becoming the woman you're called to be will always require leaving another version of yourself behind.

    Newsflash: No One Coming to Do it For You

    2026/03/09 | 28 mins.
    Some days motivation is there, but most days, it isn't. In this episode, I talk candidly about my current feelings surrounding the podcast, why I don't feel motivated, and my lack of time.
    But I also reflect on the importance of showing up anyway. Because the truth is, the life we hope to have in the future is built by the choices we make in the present. Our future selves can only achieve what our present selves are willing to do today.
    This episode is an honest conversation about discipline, consistency, and the tension between wanting something and actually putting in the work for it — even when you don’t feel like it.

    Stop Competing With Motherhood//Embracing Who You've Become Instead of Missing Who You Were

    2026/03/02 | 27 mins.
    Three years ago I became a mom! And while it was the most magical day of my life, somewhere in the middle of sleepless nights, identity shifts, and quiet grief for the life I used to have... I felt like I lost myself. 
    The early years of motherhood can feel like a competition. Competition with your freedom. Your body. Your ambition. Your spontaneity. You love your child deeply, but still find yourself missing who you were before them and wondering if she's gone for good. 
    In this episode, I talk about what it feels like to finally come out of the postpartum fog and realize that you don't actually want your old life back. You simply yearn to feel more grounded, anchored, and aligned with this new version of yourself. If you've been feeling like you're at war with this season, or quietly missing the "you' that existed before, then this conversation is for you. You don't have to compete with motherhood, you can grow into it. ❤️
