Turns out I’m not lazy… I was diagnosed with ADHD at 30 | Ep 84

Turns out I’m not lazy… I was diagnosed with ADHD at 30. In this video, I’m sharing my journey to getting officially diagnosed with ADHD as an adult — from what my life looked like before I realized ADHD could even be part of my story, to the conversation that changed everything, to finally getting answers at 30. I talk about the signs I missed, the way I used to judge myself, my decision to try medication, and what life has felt like before and after understanding how my brain actually works. This video isn’t about using ADHD as an excuse. It’s about realizing that maybe I was never broken, lazy, careless, or incapable — maybe I was just trying to force my brain into systems that were never built for me. Getting diagnosed gave me language, compassion, and permission to build a life that actually supports the way I’m wired. If you’ve ever felt like you were failing at life for reasons you couldn’t explain, I hope this video reminds you that understanding yourself can change everything.

My Basement Dweller Era | Ep 83

Welcome back to The Butterfly Effect Podcast. 🦋 This episode is all about my basement dweller era — moving back home, living with my parents again, and reflecting on the funny, humbling, necessary lessons this season has brought me. I talk about debt, almost getting evicted, rebuilding my life, and learning how to communicate with my parents better as an adult. It wasn’t exactly part of the dream life plan, but it became the reset I didn’t know I needed.

So.. I'm 30 | Turning 30, Choosing Myself & Building the Life I Actually Want | Ep 82

Welcome back to The Butterfly Effect Podcast. 🦋 This episode is all about turning 30, entering a new chapter, and reflecting on the lessons that brought me here. I recap my 30th birthday party, share stories from that season, and talk about what it feels like to officially be in this new decade. I also reflect on the lessons I learned throughout my 20s, what 30 has already been teaching me, and how I’m learning to choose myself more deeply. This episode is about releasing society’s timelines, letting go of the version of life other people expect from you, and getting honest about the life you actually want to build. I talk about boundaries, relationships, overextending myself, self-abandonment, growth, and what it means to stop performing for other people’s comfort. This feels like such a full circle episode for me. I can feel myself reconnecting with the version of me who first started this podcast, while also stepping into a completely new chapter with more clarity, trust, and confidence. Episode 81 was the start of Chapter 5. This is the next page. Thank you for listening, watching, and growing with me.

I'M MOVING TO EUROPE.... ep 81

I know, I know… I made y’all wait long enough, but I’m finally back, and honestly, better than ever. In Episode 81, I’m catching you up on everything that’s happened since I turned 30—from going back to school and returning home to making the decision to move to Europe. I’m sharing how this season gave me the space to become more financially stable, start therapy, get properly medicated, and finally figure out what I truly want for myself. We’re also getting into my plans for working while I’m abroad, how this move is expanding the vision I have for The Butterfly Effect Podcast, and the growth that’s happened during the seven months I’ve been away. A lot has changed, but one thing is clear: this is the beginning of a brand-new chapter, and I’m so excited to bring you along for it. My YouTube channel is coming soon!

We Everything Showered for This Episode ft Holly

What's up y'all! This week, I’m joined by my friend Holly and we are fully everything-showered, moisturized, and ready to yap. I couldn't have picked a more perfect guest to break my hiatus. We covered everything from One Direction/ Belieber days, Tumblr era, and what life is like post-service industry. Holly shares an insane story about getting robbed at Ulta, and why even walking back into a restaurant makes her stomach sick. It’s funny, it’s nostalgic, it’s chaotic in all the right ways — and there are moments where we get real about who we became after leaving that world behind. Plus, a cameo from Shea!! Feels so good to be back <3
