#67: I took a little break (not from podcasting, just from pretending I have my life together) to enjoy spring break with my kids, and now I’m back with thoughts. I’ve officially entered my last 6 months of my 20s, and naturally, I’m deep in reflection mode. In this solo episode, I’m taking a look back at the last decade—what I’ve learned, what I’ve let go of, and what I’m bringing into this next chapter (hint: fewer energy drinks).

In this episode, we get into:
 → A mini spring break recap—a chill trip to Margaritaville, quality time with my kids, and realizing how little time we actually get with them while they’re young.

→ The "Can moms have it all?" dilemma—balancing ambition with motherhood without losing yourself in the process

→ A totally necessary PSA about energy drinks and how they betrayed me in a way I did not see coming.

→ Big news: I’m speaking at the Wedding Pro CEO Summit (!!) and how I snagged this amazing opportunity.

→ And of course, a little pep talk on actually going after the life you want, because waiting around for the 'perfect time' is a scam.

If you’re navigating a season of change, feeling the weight of balancing life, business, and maybe a little existential dread, or just need a reminder to go for it—this one’s for you.
