The Summer Doesn't Feel Like Summer Anymore

The Summer Doesn't Feel Like Summer Anymore

This week feels like a little life reset. I'm sharing what it's been like balancing the start of Solidcore coach training alongside one of the busiest times of the month and year in my full-time job, where budgets and financials are in full swing. It's been exciting, exhausting, and a reminder that sometimes growth means learning how to juggle multiple priorities at once. We're also talking about why summer just doesn't feel the way it did when we were kids. Somewhere along the way, the carefree summers full of endless possibilities turned into calendars, responsibilities, and wondering where the season went. Maybe it's just part of growing up—or maybe we're all chasing a little bit of that nostalgia. To wrap things up, I'm sharing what I've been watching lately and the TV shows currently earning a spot on my must-watch list. If you've ever felt like life is moving a little too fast while you're trying to appreciate the season you're in, this one's for you.

Wands, Workouts & Watchlists

This week, I'm catching you up on a few of my favorite things. I'm sharing my experience celebrating Harry Potter's 25th anniversary at Cosm in Dallas, giving an update on how Solidcore coach training is going, and filling you in on everything I've been watching lately. It's a shorter catch-up filled with life updates, a little magic, and the TV recommendations currently keeping me entertained. Pour yourself a martini and let's catch up.

Fitness, Facials & Financial Decisions

Life has been busy in the best way, so this week's episode is one big catch-up. I'm sharing highlights from my dad and brother's visit, giving you an update on officially starting my journey as a Solidcore coach, and introducing a new "Word of the Week" segment that I'm excited to keep going. We're also talking about the fact that I somehow spent the entire weekend shopping, joined a new gym, and immediately decided to try both boxing and cycling (which I surprisingly loved). Naturally, I'm already eyeing a trampoline fitness class because apparently collecting workout memberships is my newest hobby. Plus, I have some home updates—including a new mirror, a new plant, and my mission to transform our guest closet into something much more functional. I'm also embracing the "July It Girl" energy, sharing my latest facial experience, and catching you up on everything I'm currently watching. As always, it's equal parts life update, random opinions, and the kind of conversations that somehow all make sense by the end.

Chaos Runs in the Family

This week, I'm joined by two very special guests—my dad and my brother! We spend the episode swapping stories, sharing family memories, giving each other a hard time, and seeing where the conversation takes us. If you've ever wondered what the people closest to me are really like, this episode is your chance to meet two of the biggest personalities behind my own. Expect plenty of laughs, a little sibling banter, a few stories that probably should've stayed in the family, and the kind of conversation that feels like you're sitting around the table with us. Welcome to the family chaos.

Drybar Is an Investment

This week I'm defending some of my most controversial opinions, starting with why my Drybar membership is absolutely an investment and not an expense. We're also discussing my company's upcoming sponsored baseball game (which, to my dismay, is still a baseball game), why finding the right outfit remains the most important part of the experience, and my ongoing dislike of buffets. Somewhere along the way, we get into the evolution of school cafeteria food, why middle school wasn't actually that bad for me, the surprisingly complicated story behind how I got my name, and the childhood injustice of my sister getting a potty-training chart while I apparently got nothing. And because priorities matter, I eventually cut the episode short because I was craving chips and queso and frankly had reached the end of my attention span. As always, it's a mix of life updates, unnecessary opinions, and stories nobody asked for but you're getting anyway.
