In this episode, I open up about a pattern I’ve struggled with for a long time: I can get really low when I’m not busy or in motion. I’m someone who feels most grounded when I’m doing something, surrounded by activity or momentum, and it’s hard when that pace slows down. I know I’m not alone in this, and I wanted to talk about it honestly because I think a lot of people feel the same way.

In this episode, I’m walking and talking nine days post–lower bleph and fat transfer. I’ve been documenting the whole journey on Instagram, and so many people have been asking questions mostly because a lot of us don’t realize these under-eye issues are genetic and structural, and that there are options to fix them. I look swollen and bruised right now, but the difference already feels wild. I also share where my head is at: instead of getting frustrated with what I can’t do yet, I’m focusing on surrendering.  And for the first time in a LONG TIME, I talk about the ways people can work with me... including my life coaching, which I rarely even mention here. It felt like the right moment to finally share it.

In this episode, I talk about how to know when it’s time to walk away from a habit, a person, a version of yourself, or anything that no longer feels aligned. There’s a process we all go through before we’re ready: the confusion, the guilt, the resistance, and finally, the clarity. I share the stages you’ll move through as you start to recognize that staying is costing you more than leaving ever could  and how to trust yourself enough to take that step forward, even when it feels scary.

I’ve been moving through some changes: a new home, a return to coaching, and yes… my first plastic surgery. In this raw solo episode, I open up about trusting my intuition, letting go of shame, and showing up even when it’s hard. A reminder (for you and me) that we’re not just deserving... we’re worthy. WALK AS YOU LISTEN!!!

In this episode, I dive into some personal updates, including the profound impact of my recent Ayahuasca journey. Join me as I explore the crucial distinction between intuition and fear, and how impulsive decisions can sometimes pave the way for significant personal growth. I’ll also share a pivotal experience that ultimately didn’t pan out but reinforced my belief in the importance of self-reliance and trusting my intuition. This episode emphasizes the value of understanding your inner voice and finding the balance between intuition and discernment as you navigate life’s challenges.

In this episode of Steps Forward, I dive into Part 2 of her Ayahuasca journey — what happened after the ceremony, how integration really feels, and what it taught her about healing, control, and surrender. I'm also opening up about something most of us struggle with: avoidance — the subtle, sneaky ways we avoid our own growth, truth, and responsibility. If you’ve ever felt stuck between wanting change and avoiding the work it takes to get there, this episode will hit home.
