Episode 20: A less than traditional thanksgiving: Navigating divorce guilt and still being grateful

In this episode, I talk about what it feels like to navigate divorce guilt during the holidays, and the hard work of letting go of the way things used to be. I share what it looks like to step into the way things are now, welcome change, and make space for a less-than-traditional Thanksgiving. It’s about learning to hold both—gratitude and grief—and allowing yourself to feel every emotion without apologizing for it.

Dating......it's a jungle out there

After a little break, I’m back behind the mic with a life update. Between work, kids, and a whole lot of personal transition, this season of life has been… full. I’m talking about where I’ve been, what’s shifting, and how I’m attempting to date without actually leaving my house (is that a thing?). Welcome back to the chaos.

Episode 18 Life Lately: New Bod, New Me, Back at It & Balancing it All

In this solo episode, I’m catching you up on life lately—post-DIEP flap surgery, back to work, and navigating a whole new rhythm. I open up about what recovery really looks like, the behind-the-scenes family dynamics I don’t always talk about, and how I’m learning to feed my body (and soul) with better things. I talk about honest conversations with friends who stretch me, choosing peace over perfection, and embracing my new body while staying committed to my health. I’m sober right now, slowly figuring out how to reintroduce fun, connection, and balance into my world. It’s not always graceful, but it’s real—and that’s enough.

Episode 17 Dating with Death Awareness: Why real love starts when you stop hiding

In this episode, I open up about a podcast I recently listened to that explored death awareness....and how our fear of dying alone often fuels our desperation to find a partner. It stopped me in my tracks and made me reflect on how that fear has shaped my own dating journey. I talk about what it means to truly show up as yourself in love, how I’ve let go of the checklist, and why I’m no longer trying to be saved by a relationship. Maybe I’ll meet “my person,” maybe I won’t....but I’m staying open. Because real love doesn’t start with someone choosing you… it starts when you stop hiding. Whether you’re single, dating, healing, or just figuring it all out, this one’s for you.

Episode 16: Life Lately and my new buzz word : Radical Acceptance

In this episode, I share a raw life update....from post-surgery reflections to end of school year feelings and everything in between. I also dive into a phrase that’s been hitting home for me lately: radical acceptance. What does it really mean? And how do we practice it without letting people walk all over us? This one’s about staying soft, staying grounded, and staying true to yourself....even when life doesn’t give you a perfect ending.
