Becoming Sunshine

Becoming Sunshine

Welcome to Becoming Sunshine—the podcast where real talk meets self-evolution. This isn’t about being your highest self 24/7 or pretending healing is always pretty. It’s about learning through lived experience—friendships, heartbreaks, glow-ups, setbacks, boundaries, and everything in between. Each week, I share unfiltered stories, honest lessons, and the moments that cracked me open and helped me grow. We’ll talk love, self-worth, emotional intelligence, leveling up, and becoming the version of you that you actually like. This is soft wellness for the girls (and guys) who meditate and take thirst traps. Who know self-love sometimes means setting boundaries, sometimes means getting your nails done, and sometimes means walking away. You don’t have to be perfect to be powerful. You just have to be real.
