Are you mistaking breadcrumbs of effort for the full banquet of real love?
I said something in the last solo episode that hit a nerve with so many of you: you deserve a champion. Not someone who just says the right words but someone who shows up for you, holds space for your evolution, and protects your light. Too many women call emotional labor “love” and stay in relationships built on potential instead of reality. It’s time to break that pattern.
In this episode, I’m sharing what a true champion looks like, how to recognize relationship red flags, and what it means to show up as a champion yourself. This is about emotional safety, personal standards, and creating space for joy and growth in midlife and beyond.
✔️ The difference between a partner who cheers you on and one who truly evolves with you
✔️ Why emotional labor disguised as loyalty is draining your soul
✔️ The powerful questions you need to ask to find clarity and peace in your relationship
Your worth isn’t negotiable. You don’t just deserve love, you deserve a champion. Listen now and share this episode with a friend who needs to hear this truth.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
