I disappeared for a while.... Here's why

After months of being quiet, I’m finally back behind the mic. A lot has changed since the last episode… I took a risk, moved away from everything I knew for love, and started a whole new chapter of my life. And honestly? I don’t regret it. In this episode, I’m catching you up on where I’ve been, what I’ve been learning, going back to school, and even my not-so-tropical Hawaii trip during a Kona storm (yeah… not what I expected 😂). I also take a moment to reflect on something more personal… my grandma’s 20-year anniversary and how fast life really moves. This isn’t a perfect comeback episode… it’s just real life, real thoughts, and me showing up again. If you’ve ever taken a risk, felt lost, or needed to reset… this one’s for you.

Ep. 11 - I Didn’t Think I Could Do This Alone… But Look at Me Now

This episode is for anyone who ever thought they couldn’t make it on their own. For the ones who stayed in situations out of fear. For the ones who said, “I can’t do this without them.” But spoiler alert: you can. You did. You are. In this episode, I talk about what it was really like starting over after an 8+ year relationship — from paying rent solo for the first time, to sneaky-link distractions, to figuring out dating apps after almost a decade off the market. It was messy, awkward, funny, overwhelming… and exactly what I needed to rebuild myself. We get into: • Realizing you’re stronger without the “dead weight” • Having a sneaky link without confusing it for healing • The awkward chaos of Hinge conversations • Learning how to be seen again • Finding hope — not in someone else, but in yourself

Episode 10

Didn’t go off track this time (okay maybe just a little). From birthday emotions to CrossFit vibes, and having fun — this one’s a mix of laughs, lessons, and trying to keep it together like a grown-up. Also talked brief about chia seeds — it’s a lie, you don’t lose weight within a days or a week lol.

Ep. 9 - I'm back baby!

After a month I'm back - Guess who’s back… After throwing my back out (literally), I took a forced pause — but I’m back on the mic and back in my groove. In this episode, I’m catching you up on my healing, the chaos of recovery, and the high of finally walking for my degree. From back pain to stage slay — let’s talk about the comeback.

Episode 8: I'm not who I was when I loved you

Sometimes healing means looking back and realizing you’re no longer the person you were when you loved someone. In this episode, I get real about how I outgrew the version of me that confused sacrifice with love, tolerated what I’d never allow today, and lost parts of myself just to keep the peace. I share what changed when I started choosing me — setting boundaries, saying no, and not letting guilt write my story. Growth made me unrecognizable, even to myself, and that’s the point: it’s about moving differently, protecting your peace, and being proud of who you became without them. This one’s for anyone who’s ever thought, “Damn, I don’t even recognize who I was back then.” Because the truth is, you’re not supposed to.
