The Jump Shot Guide to Sliding into the DMs

Slump Season

What’s a baddie to do when she momentarily forgets who she is? Spiral a little, stay busy, and then talk about it on a podcast. This episode is a full life update—winter travel, balancing modeling/research/Lagree, and a slightly unhinged studio moment (yes, someone started a fire). Plus, one random highlight: I got to ride a Zamboni at a pro hockey game. But mostly, I open up about some confidence struggles I’ve been working through and how I’m pulling myself out of it. What do you do when you're in a slump season and need a refresh? I want to hear about it.

The Jump Shot Guide to Sliding into the DMs

If my mom can successfully shoot her shot at an NHL legend, you can definitely handle that DM you’ve been sitting on. Today, we’re talking shot selection, signature "soup" bases, and why your IG profile is doing more work than you think. I’m sharing a recent DM win (and a few losses) of my own to prove that authenticity beats a canned pickup line every single time. Stop overthinking the "send" button—we’ve got a survival guide to get through!

Are You a Silly Goose or a Silly Goose Ally?

This week, I’m breaking down a very important (and very scientific) question: are you dating a silly goose, a silly goose ally, or—worst of all—the fun police? After running a highly controlled “ice cream flavor test” on one pro hockey All-Star (peer-reviewed by me and Meghan), I realized something: early-stage dating is basically one long improv exercise. And not everyone is equipped for the power play. We’re getting into: * Why banter is one of the strongest indicators of compatibility early on * The psychology of humor, intelligence, and cognitive flexibility * Why some people can commit to the bit… and others panic * What your texting chemistry reveals about long-term relationship potential * And how to tell if it’s a bad bit… or just the wrong test subject Let's be so honest for a sec: you're not just looking for someone attractive—you’re looking for someone who can keep up. Consider this your field guide to modern dating… one silly goose at a time.

How to Be the Wingwoman Everyone Wants

In this episode, I’m coming at you from the Lagree studio and recapping my absolute whirlwind of a month — traveling to Scottsdale (twice), going to hockey games, getting cast in my first major commercial campaign, and showing up solo to the Waste Management Open as my own social experiment — plus stepping into bridesmaid duties for two back-to-back weddings (where yes, I notoriously roll alone). But the heart of this episode is about mastering the art of being a professional wingwoman: how to genuinely hype up your friend, help create her moment, and elevate her sparkle without dimming your own. I break down the mindset shifts and social strategies that let you be supportive, magnetic, and confident all at once — because being the ultimate hype girl doesn’t mean becoming a side character. You can hand her the spotlight and still keep your main character energy fully intact.

Prayers, Pucks, and Possibilities: Trusting What You Ask For in 2026

In this episode, I’m recapping a heated hockey rivalry, how I somehow walked away with Sleeves’s hockey stick, and the unexpected joy of making new friends in the middle of it all. But beyond the pucks and the antics, this episode is really about faith—what it means to ask boldly, trust deeply, and believe that what you ask for can be given to you. As we head into 2026, I’m sharing why I’m choosing to pray in faith instead of fear, release control, and trust that the right things—people, opportunities, and yes, even hockey sticks—will find their way to me when the timing is right. If you’ve ever struggled with trusting the ask, letting go, or believing that good things can still come your way, this one is especially for you.
