This frustrating double standard isn't just in your head. Harvard Business Review r...

#183: Accountability can feel like a loaded word—especially when it comes to our relationships. All too often, we either shoulder all the blame or refuse to see our part in painful patterns. But what if accountability could be an act of self-love rather than self-punishment?

In this deeply reflective episode, I explore the liberating side of taking responsibility for our relationship patterns. I share my personal journey o...

#182: No new episode this week because ya girl needed a break. Between the chaos of real life, stress, and working, I am pressing pause to just take a breather this week and not record any emotional whiplash.

We've been conditioned to believe that asking questions makes us look desperate or emotional. The "cool girl" never double-texts. The unbother...

#177: That ex who keeps circling back into your life? There's a fascinating psychology behind it that rarely has anything to do with genuine love or reconciliation. In this raw and revealing conversation, we unpack the real reasons behind those surprise texts and "how have you been?" messages that seem to arrive just when you've started to heal.

#176: Ever noticed how "be vulnerable" has become the go-to advice for everything from dating to leadership? But what if vulnerability isn't always the answer?

Some fillers don't dissolve naturally as promised, and under-eye ...

#171: The path to women's rights has been a long and winding road. From gaining the vote just over a century ago to today's heated battles over reproductive freedom, we're still fighting many of the same battles our grandmothers faced. But why does it feel like we're moving backward?
