ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Remember when you were little, you believed you could be anything. Astronauts, artists, CEO, even Barbie had the wardrobe and accessories to prove it. But somewhere along the way, the message shifted. Instead of “you can do anything,” it became “be realistic, don’t want too much.” And just like that, so many women were conditioned to check their dreams at the door.
In this empowering episode, we’re ripping up that outdated script and writing a new one. I’m diving into how you can embrace your Main Character Energy, remix those classical roles like mom, wife, employee, and leader, and infuse them with the bold desires of your heart. We’re talking authenticity, women empowerment, self-love, community, and what it really means to expand instead of shrink.
You’ll learn why failure isn’t the opposite of success—it’s the pathway to it, how to reconnect with your buried dreams (or dream a brand new one), and a secret method I usually only share with clients.
If you’ve been feeling restless, unfulfilled, or like your desires are “too much,” this episode is your permission slip to stop playing small and start believing in infinite possibilities for your life.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
It’s time to reconnect with what you really want.
Main character energy is a decision, not just a vibe.
You can have it all without shrinking yourself.
Failure is a pathway to success, not the opposite.
Dreams can evolve as you grow; it’s okay to change them.
The possibilities for your life are infinite.

THE SELF-LOVE 2-STEP
Here’s the part that makes it simple and powerful—because you know I love giving you practical tools. The Self-Love 2-Step is your way to start moving toward your dreams without overwhelm.
✨ Step 1: Name the Dream. Write down one dream you’ve been shrinking, shelving, or secretly sketching in your mind. Don’t edit. Don’t apologize. Just name it. If nothing comes to mind right away, give yourself grace. Dreams often show up through journaling, reflecting, or following what sparks joy. Remember—clarity comes through curiosity, not pressure.
🪞 Step 2: Take the Micro-Move. Choose one small action you can take this week toward that dream. It could be journaling, researching, sharing it with a trusted friend, or simply saying it out loud to yourself every day.
That’s it. Two steps: Name it. Move toward it. The 2-Step is designed to get you in motion.
