#34 Is Your Sexuality Actually Yours?

#34 Is Your Sexuality Actually Yours?

In this episode, I share the beginning of a project that has been sitting with me for years and is finally ready to take shape. It's more than a project, but the whole idea I have around our intimate self. Not just sexuality, but the deeper connection to who you actually are in your body, your desires, your relationships, and your sense of self. There’s so much noise around what intimacy is supposed to look like, from media to wellness trends to the ways we’ve learned to label and define ourselves. This is about stepping back from all of that and getting more honest answers to what is actually yours. This episode is a starting point for that exploration, and an introduction to a body of work I’m building around intimacy, self-trust, and finding safety and empowerment in your own experience.

#33 Rethinking Your Habits, Your Phone, and Your Time

In this episode, I talk about the small ways we shape our lives through rituals, routines, and the choices we make every day. From something as simple as changing how I take supplements to how I structure my workouts, it all comes back to making things feel good, so you stick with it. I also get honest about failing to unplug for the weekend, which led into a bigger reflection on our relationship with technology. Instead of strict rules or forcing discipline, I think it’s about understanding why we reach for our phones in the first place and creating more intentional space away from them. This episode is a mix of wellness, honesty, and a reminder that a calmer life is something we slowly build. Supported By: This episode is supported by my integrative counseling.

#32 Better Sleep for a Good Sex Life

In this episode, I talk about why sleep might be one of the most overlooked foundations of intimacy, connection, and overall well-being. The conversation around our latest mouth tape launch [https://commonconfidential.com/products/confidential-mouth-tape] is deeper, than simply sleep. It's about how the way we care for our bodies, especially through rest, quietly shapes how we show up in our relationships. I share my perspective on sleep as a core pillar of health, how it impacts everything from mood to desire, and why creating intentional evening routines can change not just how you sleep, but how you live and connect. This is an invitation to think about your nights differently. Not just as something to get through, but as something that supports the life and relationships you desire. Key Themes: * Sleep is one of the most powerful pillars of health * The way you rest directly affects your mood, energy, and relationships * Intimacy isn’t separate from wellness * Evening routines matter more than just what happens right before bed * Small, consistent habits can completely shift how you feel day to day * Taking care of yourself allows you to show up better for others * Mouth Tape [https://commonconfidential.com/products/confidential-mouth-tape] as an analog wellness habit that can have a big impact Sponsored by: This episode is supported by my integrative counseling and coaching practice.

#31 You Already Know What You Want. This Is What’s Missing

This episode about one of the many layers I work on with my clients. The work I do with you can be done alone and this is one idea that we work on together- courage and gumption. Both are necessary when we’re growing, changing, and trying to build a life that feels like ours. I talk about the difference between courage and gumption and how they work together. This isn’t about big, loud bravery. It’s about the quiet moments where you choose to listen to yourself, say the thing, take the step, or move toward something that feels uncertain. The life you want is often on the other side of those small, honest, courageous decisions and learning to trust yourself enough to act on them. Key Themes: * Courage versus gumption * Growth requires both honesty with yourself and willingness to act * You can build courage through small, everyday moments * Not all courage is loud * Fear and anxiety don’t disappear, but courage can grow alongside them * The things you’re drawn to are not random. They’re pointing you somewhere * Your life changes when you start acting on what you already know Work With Me: If this is the kind of work you’re in right now, I offer integrative counseling and coaching that helps you sort through all of it. My approach is personal, flexible, and built around you. We look at your life as a whole and work through layers to piece it back together in a way that feels aligned and honest.

#30 Living Cleaner Without Overcomplicating Your Life

This episode is a mix of something simple and something deeper. I share a bit about my recent love for sourdough and how small, grounding habits like making bread can reconnect us to community, care, and intention in everyday life. I get into non-toxic living and what that looks like for me, but also in a way that you can take inspiration from if you're starting from the beginning.  I talk about what it means to live a lower-toxin lifestyle, why it matters for your health, and how to begin without trying to change everything at once. This is about simplifying, not adding more. It’s about making small, thoughtful shifts that support your body, your home, and your overall well-being. Key Themes: * Non-toxic living doesn’t have to be overwhelming * Small changes over time create a meaningful lifestyle shift * Simplicity often leads to better health and less consumption * Many “clean” products are marketing, not better for you * Supporting hormones and long term health Work With Me: If you’re in a season where you’re trying to take better care of yourself, whether physically, emotionally, or just overall that is the work I do with my clients.  My work blends life, health, relationships, and self-trust into a personalized approach that’s built around you. It’s a space to think clearly, process honestly, and make changes that feel aligned.
