In this episode, we kick off The Self-Respect Series by getting real about the quiet, unglamorous moments that shape how we show up for ourselves.

This one is for anyone who's been putting everyone else first and is ready to come back home to themselves. You don't need to earn your worth, but you do need to act like you're worthy of peace, rest, and alignment.

Let this be your permission slip to start choosing you.

After a much needed retreat and time to slow down, coming home can feel... heavy. The pressure to "bounce back," the chaos of real life waiting for you, and the shift in identity after letting go of parts of your old routine, it's a lot.

Whether you're coming back from vacation, a life shift, or just feeling ready for a reset, this is your invitation to do it differently this time.

After a much-needed reset in Koh Samui, Thailand, I’m back with a full heart and a quieter mind. This episode is a reflection on what slowing down has taught me about my worth, my work, and the stories I’ve told myself around “doing enough.”

From sunrise yoga to soul-stirring journaling sessions, I share the lessons, clarity, and emotional shifts that happened when I gave myself permission to pause. I also open up about the guilt I carried walking away from work, the identity shifts I’m sitting with, and how my definition of strength has completely changed.

If you’ve ever felt like rest had to be earned or like slowing down meant falling behind, this one is for you.

In this special milestone episode, I'm opening up about what 500 days without alcohol has really looked like, from the quiet identity shifts to the suprising physical changes. I share how the 75 Hard Challenge gave me the push I needed to take a break, and the emotional highs and lows of navigating sobriety in a world that celebrates drinking.

I also dive into the science of what happens to your body when you eliminate alcohol long-term, from clearer skin and better sleep to reduced inflammation and improved mental clarity. This episode is both a personal reflection and an empowering reminder that choosing alignment over fitting in is always worth it.

I'm opening up about what it's felt like to be in a bit of a funk, creatively, mentally, and emotionally. If you've ever felt checked out, like you're falling short, or just not sure where you're headed next... you're not alone.

We're talking about the pressure to perform, the guilt that creeps in when you rest, and the nagging feeling of being behind while the world around you seems to be in motion. This is an honest conversation about showing up when motivation is low, and giving yourself grace in the process of figuring it all out.

Personal growth isn't a final destination, it's an ongoing evolution. We're getting real about what it means to grow, change, and keep showing up for the next version of yourself... again and again.

I'm sharing the raw side of leveling up: the identity shifts, the moments of self-doubt, the breakthroughs, and how I've learned to embrace growth as a lifestyle, not a one-time glow up.

Let's talk about releasing perfection, accepting evolution, and learning to love the version of you that's still unfolding.

In a world that glorifies hustle, it's easy to think burnout is just part of the process. In this episode, we're rewriting that narrative. I open up about my own experience of chasing goals while running myself into the ground, and how I've learned that real success includes rest, boundaries, and sustainability.

You'll learn what it really means to be driven without losing yourself in the process, how to listen to your body while still showing up for your goals, and why taking care of your energy is actually part of your discipline.

Everyone talks about the glow-up, but no one really talks about the growing pains that come with it. In this episode, we're getting real about the hard parts of becoming the best version of yourself, because leveling up isn't just about aesthetic routines and success stories. It's about sacrifice, discomfort, and pushing through the moments that make you want to quit.
