Who Cares What People Think, Pt. 2
Two years ago I started this podcast in my bedroom at my mom's house. I was terrified, so I made "who cares what other people think" my very first episode — to fight the fear by doing the thing. Two years later my perspective has grown a lot. Now I see how much power is sitting in the limiting...

Dating Like It’s The Last Time I’m Single
In today's episode I'm talking about why dating has FINALLY become fun for me. I'm treating it like the last possible time I'll be single rather than hunting for a husband. Obviously nobody can predict the future — but that's the whole point. It's mind over matter. I'd rather enjoy this stretch...

Age Gaps In Dating & The Double Standards
In this week's episode I'm diving into age gaps in dating and the double standard behind the narrative. Whether the girl is older or younger, she's the one being judged in the scenario. But I think if we look a little deeper we can see it in a different light — or at least give it the chance to…

Peptides, Body Image & Minding Your Own Business

Did You Actually Like Him Or Did You Fill In The Blanks?
Everyone is out here building a picture of who they are through what they have and what they’ve done. So we’re all reading each other off half a story — and then filling in the rest with potential. No wonder we can’t see clearly.This week I’m getting into how we actually end up with rose colored...

WTF Does “Choose Yourself” Actually Mean?
In this week’s episode we dive deep into wtf it actually means to choose ourselves. I talk about how I heard this phrase all the time but never fully understood where to begin. With time I realized it’s not always the big choices — it starts with the small ones we make every day. Anytime we put...
