Are you feeling pressured to have everything figured out in your business or personal life? In this episode, I dive into the raw, messy journey of building an online health and fitness business during the chaotic years of 2020 and 2021 — and the hard lessons I learned along the way.

I share the real highs and lows of trusting mentors, chasing the "cool kids club" vibe, and losing myself in the process. This is a story I haven’t fully shared until now, and let me tell you, it’s a cocktail of ambition, impulsive decisions, and some wild realizations.

Join me as I take you through the swamp of big dreams and promises from online mentorships that left me questioning my own path. From the temptation of fast success to those awkward moments that just make you go, "Wait, what am I really doing here?"

What You’ll Hear in this Episode:

• How I found myself entangled in an identity crisis while building an online business
• The allure—and cost—of high-ticket mentorships that promise big results
• The real impact of chasing validation and trying to join the “cool kids club” in business
• How the cycle of certifications and courses left me wondering if any of it was worth it
• The hidden toll mentorship took on my health, confidence, and finances
• When I realized I was burned out - and another course or “being in the energy” would fix it
• How reconnecting with my dad ended up being a major part of my journey

This episode is a behind-the-scenes look at my journey, lessons on boundaries, and a reminder that it's okay to be a work in progress. Grab a coffee, a wine, or whatever fuels you, and let’s get into it!

Ever feel like you're just going through the motions, following someone else's rules for your life? In this episode, I explore the idea of personal autonomy - you know, actually being in charge of your own choices. I'm talking about everything from what we eat to who we date to how we live our lives. It's wild how much we give away our power without even realizing it, and I've got some thoughts on why that happens and what we can do about it.

I get real about some of the messages we've been fed (pun totally intended) and how they might be holding us back. I share bits and pieces from my own life and how I've started to trust myself more. Don’t worry - it’s not just me ranting :) I've got some ideas on how we can start making changes, and I'll touch on why it's so important for women to step into their power. So if you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just ready for a change, tune in. We'll figure this out together, okay?

In this episode:

• How diet culture fucks with your mental, physical and emotional health
• Are you outsourcing your brain or actually gaining knowledge and support?
• How can you start listening to your intuition instead of all the outside noise?
• If women collectively stopped settling for less, what would happen?
• What chasing does to women
• Why it's okay (and awesome) to challenge societal norms and expectations
• How can you distinguish between helpful outsourcing and giving away your power?
• Are you ready to embrace your authentic self, even if it doesn't fit the "typical" mold?

So if you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just ready for a change, tune in. We'll figure this out together, okay?

It was a statement made by her doctor while pregnant that sparked a change in career.

Ever wonder why you're feeling burnt out, resentful, or just plain exhausted? Well, in this episode, I'm diving into the juicy topic of boundaries - something I've had to learn along the way as a business owner and woman. If you want to boost your confidence, run your business without burning out, and have healthy relationships (including with yourself!), this episode and boundaries are for you!

As women, we're natural caretakers and people-pleasers. But let me tell you, that "good girl" conditioning can lead us down a path of overgiving and losing ourselves. Been there, done that and no thank you.

I’ll share why it’s hard for women to set boundaries, what happens when we don’t (the least of which is feeling cranky) and how to begin setting or shifting your boundaries - question/journal prompts are included.

• What's the hidden cost of being a "good girl"?
• Why your burnout may be a sign of something deeper
• Are you unknowingly sabotaging your own success?
• The link between boundaries and self-worth
• How your childhood can dictate what your boundaries are now
• Could your lack of boundaries be costing you money?
• How asking for help could actually make you stronger
• Questions to answer to set or shift your boundaries

Whether you're a business owner, a busy mom, or just trying to get your sh*t together, this episode is packed with real talk and practical tips to help you create the life you actually want.
