I'm just gonna say it - the holidays challenging b/c of gathering with family. Hell, anytime we gather with people, places and things from our past can trigger us when we’ve been been wrapped in a journey of self-discovery and growth.
What do you do when you’re confronted with a reflection of a previous version of yourself?
How do you handle people who trigger you because they’re who you used to be?
Being triggered by someone else’s behavior is often a reflection of work you’ve done—or are still doing—on yourself.
Let's talk about it.

This episode is inspired by the emails, comments and conversations I've had over the past few weeks, they led me back to one of my reference books: Brené Brown’s Atlas of the Heart.

I'm calling out three common emotions (presented in the book as the places we go) that I believe many of us are grappling with right now: dread, sadness, and belonging. I share some insights to help us process these feelings and cultivate confidence when everything is trash.

In a world that is determined to make women feel small, unseen, or not enough—whether through systemic barriers like patriarchy, misogyny, racism, and other societal expectations—confidence is more than a trait; it’s an act of rebellion.

In this episode I talk about what confidence truly means when navigating BS and why it’s essential for your growth, healing, and self-empowerment.

Today I wanna talking about something that affects many of us in ways we may not always recognize— intersections.

I'm sure you've heard the word 'intersectionality' before, but today I want to talk about how intersections show up in our lives as women who are on this journey of self-discovery, personal growth, and confidence-building.
Let's talk about it.

In this episode I'm diving into the two types of urgency that shape our lives as women on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and confidence-building.

Inspired by a recentish conversation with my therapist, I'm talking about the difference between the frantic, stress-driven urgency that keeps us chasing after things outside our control and a powerful, soul-driven urgency that comes from within.

I break down how to shift from feeling like you’re constantly catching up to others’ expectations, to living with a focused, intentional urgency aligned with who you are and what you truly want. If you’re ready to stop wasting time on things that don’t serve you and start embracing a life of ease, flow, and purpose, this episode is for you.

Tune in to learn:

• How to recognize the external urgency that drains your energy.
• Why internal, soul-driven urgency leads to clarity, ease, and alignment.
• Practical steps to begin honoring your time and moving toward your true self.

I hope this conversation helps you step into a more intentional, purpose-filled life—starting right now.

I had a conversation with a friend about all of the changes that we're experiencing being in perimenopause. I shared that I'm dealing with some skin issues and it was frustrating me.
This friend recommended I try snail mucin, and I eventually did. In this episode Im talking about how my experience with this product mirrors the journey of self-discovery.

I've talked about butterflies and the similarities between the journey of a butterfly and the journey of women, who are discovering themselves calling up there, courage, and designing their lives to be a masterpiece.
In the past, I've identified several lessons from the journey of a butterfly, and how they relate to our journeys to confidence, and this lesson comes straight from an article I read in Scientific American.

Think about your upbringing - how often were you told to "be nice?" I think being nice is a scam that is mostly sold to women...and I have unsubscribed.
I'm not interested in being called nice, I prefer to live by my own standard for being an empathetic, caring, responsible citizen, and that has nothing to do with how other people perceive me.
