From Volleyball to Real Life: Friendships that Stick

From Volleyball to Real Life: Friendships that Stick

Some friendships are polished and picture-perfect. Others are loud, messy, unexpected, healing, chaotic, and somehow still exactly what you needed. In Episode 6 of Thank Me Later Podcast, I sit down with some of my friends from Hawaii Volleyball Club for a real conversation about friendship — what it means, what it takes, and how different every connection can look. This episode was recorded right at the beach while we were playing volleyball, and honestly… the episode itself reflects the message perfectly. One mic died. The wind knocked the camera out of focus toward the end. The audio isn’t the cleanest. The video isn’t perfect. But neither are friendships. And maybe that’s the point. Not every friendship will look the same. Not every season of friendship will sound perfect or feel easy. But the real ones? The genuine ones? They still matter through the imperfections. This episode is fun, raw, unfiltered, and full of laughs, honesty, and good energy straight from the beach. Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.

Audit Your Circle Like You Audit Your Goals

In this solo episode, it’s just me. No guests. Just an honest conversation about friendship — and how your circle naturally shifts as you grow. We audit our finances. We audit our habits. We audit our goals. But when was the last time you audited the people closest to you? As I’ve gotten older, I’ve had to confront the reality that not every friend is meant for every season. Some friendships deepen. Others grow distant. And some reveal themselves the moment you start winning, speaking your truth, or evolving beyond who you used to be. In this episode, I talk about: * How to recognize when your circle no longer aligns with your growth * The difference between genuine support and performative celebration * Friends who only applaud when they can attach themselves to your success * The quiet competition that sometimes hides inside “support" * Why protecting your peace may require shrinking your circle I also share a sneak peek into the new friendship series — next month we’ll unpack what real friendship looks like, how to build it, and how to release what no longer serves you. Growth is intentional. Your circle should be too. Music by IslandSurge

Attachment Styles & Self-Worth: Why We Choose Who We Choose

In this episode of Thank Me Later, I’m joined by Megan — a Trauma-Informed Holistic Coach and Reiki Master Practitioner — for a deeply honest conversation about attachment styles, self-worth, and why we choose the relationships we choose. We unpack how early experiences shape the way we love, communicate, and attach, often without us realizing it. From anxious and avoidant patterns to healing secure attachment, this episode is about bringing awareness to the subconscious cycles that keep showing up in our relationships. We also talk about: ✨ How trauma influences attachment ✨ The link between self-worth and relationship dynamics ✨ Why “chemistry” can sometimes be a trauma response ✨ What healing actually looks like (beyond surface-level self-help) ✨ How to start choosing from alignment instead of survival This conversation is for anyone who’s ever asked themselves: “Why do I keep ending up in the same relationship?” “Why do I feel triggered even when I care about someone?” “Am I broken — or am I healing?” If you’re on a journey of self-awareness, healing, and emotional growth, this episode is for you. 🎧 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share with someone who needs to hear this.

Your “Type” is Holding You Back… Let’s Talk About It

In this episode of Thank Me Later, I am joined by two of my close friends for an honest, unfiltered girl talk conversation about dating, age, and everything in between. We share our different perspectives on how our experiences have shaped what we look for now—from “types” and attraction to what being a true gentleman actually means in today’s dating world. We reflect on how age, growth, and self-awareness change the way we date, the standards we hold, and the red flags we no longer ignore. Expect laughs, real talk, and moments that’ll have you nodding along thinking, “Yep… I’ve been there.” If you’ve ever questioned your dating patterns, wondered if your “type” is evolving, or needed reassurance that you’re not alone in your experiences—this episode is for you. 🎧 Tune in, get comfortable, and thank yourself later.
