Hey friends — I’m back from an incredible weekend, and I couldn’t wait to share what unfolded.

I share some really personal reflections on how I’ve navigated fear—es...
Hey friends, in this episode, I take you on a personal and emotional journey in three parts — all beautifully connected by a deeper purpose I’ve been stepping into more and more.

I open up about a surprising reconnection with someone from my pas...

If you’re navigating dating apps after a long r...

Hey friends! In this episode, I dive into something super unexpected and surprisingly profound—palm reading... with a twist. I found myself caught in one of those late-night TikTok scrolls when a palm reading ad caught my eye.

In this episode, I’m diving deep into the powerful topic of anxiety and fear—two emotions that so many of us grapple with on a daily basis.
