What happens when you reunite with a high school friend after 20 years and hit record? You get a wild ride of deep thoughts, belly laughs, and "same, girl, SAME" moments you didn’t know you needed.

Casey Belitz (formerly Casey Rector — yes, from La Costa Canyon, Class of 2005, Go Mavs!) joins me for a reunion episode that goes everywhere from childhood attachment styles to running businesses, parenting in a tech-fueled world, and the absolute chaos of trying to raise good humans while not losing ourselves in the process. Casey owns The Watering Haul and The Hug Button and is a Business Teacher at our alma mater, whoop whoop!

This convo is equal parts heart, humor, healing, and “holy sh*t, I thought it was just me.”

We talk about:

  • How learning actually changes your brain

  • The magic of secure attachment (and how it echoes into adulthood)

  • Delegating in business so you’re not drowning in to-dos

  • Why empathy isn’t just a soft skill, it’s the real power move

  • Raising independent kids in a co-dependent digital age

  • Slowing down, finding your flow, and redefining success

  • The beauty (and struggle) of authenticity on social media

  • And why we all need a little more humor, community, and compassion

Whether you're a mom, a business owner, a teacher, a dreamer, or just a human trying to figure it all out, this episode will hit home.

🎧 Tune in for the reunion you didn’t know you needed and leave feeling seen, heard, and inspired to lead with heart and live on purpose.
