Unexpected Life: Why I Started Blogging, Podcasting & YouTube

In this episode of Unexpected Life, I talk honestly about how different life turned out from what I imagined back in high school. I open up about struggling with motivation, bouncing between short-term jobs, never really finding a career path that felt right, and feeling lost while trying to figure out where I belong in adulthood. But this episode is also about trying something new. I share why I decided to step outside the traditional path and start blogging, podcasting, and creating YouTube videos — even while battling self-doubt and uncertainty. Sometimes creativity becomes the thing that helps you reconnect with yourself when nothing else seems to fit. If you’ve ever questioned your direction in life, struggled to stay motivated, or felt like you’re reinventing yourself later than everyone else, this episode will probably feel very relatable. Thank you for listening. Don't forget to like, share, and follow!!

Thermal Door Curtain Fail: Trapped Inside During Michigan's -17°F Arctic Blast!

In this episode, I share my latest home hack gone wrong: buying a thermal door curtain from Amazon to battle the freezing Michigan winter... only to discover it completely blocks easy door access! Now we're stuck entering and exiting through the garage while temps plummet to -17°F with heavy snow and dangerous wind chills. I've been under the weather this week (hence no Tuesday episode—sorry!), so I've been sharing cozy throwback videos from up north on social media instead. Join me as I vent about this epic fail, reflect on surviving the cold snap, and maybe brainstorm better ways to insulate without turning your front door into a permanent barrier. Perfect for anyone dealing with winter woes, impulse Amazon buys, or just needing a laugh during the deep freeze. Stay warm out there, Michigan!
