How to Actually Get Comfortable Being Alone #39
Spending time alone can feel peaceful and natural for some of us and truly uncomfortable for others. In this episode, I talk about what it actually looks like to build a relationship with your own company, especially if solitude feels intimidating or unfamiliar. It's not about jumping straight into solo trips or doing everything alone overnight. It’s about starting where you are, pushing yourself gently outside your comfort zone, and learning how to feel safe, confident, and even joyful in your own presence. I share practical ways to begin, how to move through the anxiety that can come up, and why learning to love your alone time is one of the most important ways to build a fuller life.
What to Do When You Feel Off, But Can't Explain Why #38
This is a personal reflection on the feeling of when you’re feeling a little off. We can't always explain it, but it's when your energy feels heavier, your voice feels quieter, and something about you just isn’t lighting up the same way.
I talk about noticing when your “sparkle” or magnetism feels like it's missing and how to gently come back to yourself without making it something overly heavy or overwhelming. It's about paying attention, not the pressure of fixing yourself.
I share how I’ve been thinking through this in real time and how sitting with emotions matters, but so does finding ways to bring lightness back in. Sometimes it’s small shifts, creativity, music, movement, or simply letting yourself feel and then move forward.
Ep. 37 35’s Birthday Reflections
I turned 35 last week and I'm sharing about the unexpected emotions that came with it. A quiet solo trip turned into something deeper and realizing I’ve stepped into a new phase of life.
I talk about the pressure of timelines, especially around things like relationships, family, and what we thought life would look like by now. I also share how I’ve learned to celebrate my birthday in a way that actually feels good for me, and why creating your own experiences matters.
There's also an honest PSA about boundaries within my platform. What I choose to share publicly and what I keep private and how navigating a life online requires a balance between openness and self-respect.
Ep. 36 You Are Not Replaceable, Even If It Feels Like You Are
I talk about a concept that has completely shifted the way I see relationships, self-worth, and comparison. It's the idea that you are not replaceable.
This is something I had to really work to understand, especially when navigating fear, jealousy, and insecurity in relationships. It’s easy to feel like someone else could take your place or that you’re comparable to the people around you. But when you really look at it, that’s not actually true.
I share how I personally started to unpack this idea, why comparison is so misleading, and how understanding your own uniqueness can create a deeper sense of safety and confidence within yourself and in your relationships.
This isn’t just about romantic relationships either. It’s about how you see yourself in friendships, in your work, and in the way you move through the world. When you truly believe that you are not replaceable, it changes how you show up in every area of your life.
Ep. 35 Your Sexuality is a Reflection of Your Health
This episode is a reflection on how deeply connected our health, relationships, and sex lives really are. I talk about the idea that nothing in our lives exists in isolation. Sleep, nutrition, movement, mental health, and emotional wellbeing all overlap and influence each other.
If you’ve ever struggled to stay consistent with taking care of yourself, this is a different way to think about it. Not as another thing you should be doing, but looking from another angle that directly impacts how you feel in your body, relationships, and intimacy.
We get into why simple habits matter more than complicated solutions, how wellness doesn’t have to be overwhelming, and why your sex life might actually be one of the most honest reflections of how well you’re caring for yourself.
Ep. 34 Is Your Sexuality Actually Yours?
In this episode, I share the beginning of a project that has been sitting with me for years and is finally ready to take shape. It's more than a project, but the whole idea I have around our intimate self. Not just sexuality, but the deeper connection to who you actually are in your body, your desires, your relationships, and your sense of self. There’s so much noise around what intimacy is supposed to look like, from media to wellness trends to the ways we’ve learned to label and define ourselves. This is about stepping back from all of that and getting more honest answers to what is actually yours. This episode is a starting point for that exploration, and an introduction to a body of work I’m building around intimacy, self-trust, and finding safety and empowerment in your own experience.
Ep. 33 Rethinking Your Habits, Your Phone, and Your Time
In this episode, I talk about the small ways we shape our lives through rituals, routines, and the choices we make every day. From something as simple as changing how I take supplements to how I structure my workouts, it all comes back to making things feel good, so you stick with it. I also get honest about failing to unplug for the weekend, which led into a bigger reflection on our relationship with technology. Instead of strict rules or forcing discipline, I think it’s about understanding why we reach for our phones in the first place and creating more intentional space away from them. This episode is a mix of wellness, honesty, and a reminder that a calmer life is something we slowly build.
Ep. 32 Better Sleep for a Good Sex Life
In this episode, I talk about why sleep might be one of the most overlooked foundations of intimacy, connection, and overall well-being. The conversation around our latest mouth tape launch is deeper, than simply sleep. It's about how the way we care for our bodies, especially through rest, quietly shapes how we show up in our relationships.
I share my perspective on sleep as a core pillar of health, how it impacts everything from mood to desire, and why creating intentional evening routines can change not just how you sleep, but how you live and connect. This is an invitation to think about your nights differently. Not just as something to get through, but as something that supports the life and relationships you desire.
Ep. 31 You Already Know What You Want. This Is What’s Missing
This episode about one of the many layers I work on with my clients. The work I do with you can be done alone and this is one idea that we work on together- courage and gumption. Both are necessary when we’re growing, changing, and trying to build a life that feels like ours.
I talk about the difference between courage and gumption and how they work together. This isn’t about big, loud bravery. It’s about the quiet moments where you choose to listen to yourself, say the thing, take the step, or move toward something that feels uncertain. The life you want is often on the other side of those small, honest, courageous decisions and learning to trust yourself enough to act on them.
Ep. 30 Living Cleaner Without Overcomplicating Your Life
This episode is a mix of something simple and something deeper. I share a bit about my recent love for sourdough and how small, grounding habits like making bread can reconnect us to community, care, and intention in everyday life. I get into non-toxic living and what that looks like for me, but also in a way that you can take inspiration from if you're starting from the beginning.
I talk about what it means to live a lower-toxin lifestyle, why it matters for your health, and how to begin without trying to change everything at once. This is about simplifying, not adding more. It’s about making small, thoughtful shifts that support your body, your home, and your overall well-being.
Ep. 29 You Don’t Have to Wait to Start Your Next Chapter
This episode is a bit of a catch-up, but underneath it, it’s really about something deeper...connection, how we spend our time, and the moments that remind us what matters. I talk about a weekend with my best friend and how meaningful simple, analog moments can be. From there, I get into how I’ve been thinking about my next phase of life, what I actually want, and the realization that I don’t want to wait on certain things anymore. This episode is about noticing what feels good, honoring what you want, and being willing to move toward it even if it doesn’t look exactly how you once imagined.
Ep. 28 Your Values are Allowed to Evolve
This episode explores what happens when you go against your values. Because it’s something we all do. Instead of seeing those moments as failures or reasons to shame ourselves, I see them as signals. As moments that are trying to show us something deeper or something we might be avoiding, something that needs to shift, or that we are being asked to grow.
Most importantly I talk about how values aren’t meant to be rigid or perfect. They’re allowed to evolve as you evolve. And sometimes the moments where we feel the most out of alignment are actually the ones that bring us closer to understanding ourselves.
Ep. 27 How to Support Yourself When You’re Doing It Alone
This episode is about what it actually looks like to support yourself when you’re doing really big things alone. Not just enjoying solitude or choosing independence, but the deeper experience of moving through life changes, decisions, and responsibilities without someone right beside you. The kind of things we often imagine we’ll do with a partner, but end up navigating on our own.
I talk about the difference between being alone and feeling alone, and how those two experiences can show up very differently depending on what you’re going through. This is also about learning how to hold yourself through those seasons. Finding your “why,” creating space to process your emotions, knowing when to lean into solitude, and when to lean on the right people. It builds something deeper in self-trust, confidence, and a kind of quiet resilience that only comes from living it. If you’re in a season where life feels big and you’re carrying a lot on your own, this episode is a reminder that you can do it. One step at a time. And that supporting yourself is something you can learn.
Ep. 26 The Small Wins That Change Everything
You get a lot of life catchup in this episode, but this episode is also about creating small, intentional wins in your life that help you feel supported, especially during seasons that feel heavy. When bigger parts of life feel out of your control, these smaller, self-created moments of progress can shift your energy and rebuild your confidence.
I talk about how to identify what a “win” actually looks like for you, how to make it realistic and attainable, and why these gentle, consistent efforts can change the way you move through your days. This is a reminder that success doesn’t have to be big or loud, it can be something you create quietly for yourself, one small step at a time. We need to remember how much control we have over our own lives and sometimes creating these moments makes all the difference.
Ep. 25 Spring is a Time to Reset & Recalibrate Your Goals
This episode has a lot of personal updates, but then we get into the meat of the episode. It's is a reminder to pause and realign with what you actually want this year. Spring brings a different kind of energy than January, one that makes it easier to move, take action, and reset what may have felt unclear or unfinished. I talk about revisiting your original intentions, clearing space in your life both physically and mentally, and getting honest about what you’re building right now. This is about creating momentum again, setting goals that feel aligned, and letting this season be the time you step back into your life with clarity and intention.
Ep. 24 Sharing My Cancer Story Like I Never Have Before
In this episode, I share the story of my cancer journey like I never have before and how a season of being really sick changed the way I see my life. It’s not just about the experience of illness, but what it was like in the process and what it gave me on the other side. A different relationship with time, a deeper awareness of how I want to live, and a much stronger pull to stop waiting and start choosing what actually matters. This is a reflection on how something hard can quietly reshape everything.
Ep. 23 The Balance Between Being Alone and Being Deeply Connected
In this episode, I talk about the balance of deeply valuing alone time and relationships. The part of me that needs solitude to think, reset, and feel grounded, and the part of me that values deep relationships and meaningful connection. These sides seem opposite, but for me, they actually support each other.
We also talk about why it matters to feel comfortable in your own company. You don’t have to love being alone in the same way I do, but there is something really powerful about learning to be with yourself and trust yourself.
Ep. 22 Why You Should Go Solo Camping At Least Once
I’m talking about solo camping, but really going through why I love it and why I think everyone should experience it at least once in their life. It's not about becoming “a camping person,” but because of what solo camping teaches you about yourself.
Solo camping challenges you. It puts you in a position where you have to trust yourself, rely on yourself, and sit with yourself without distractions and noise getting in the way.
Key Points:
Why doing hard things builds real confidence
The difference between being alone and actually enjoying your own company
Letting go of constant self-awareness
Learning you need less than you think you do
Romanticizing your own life
The kind of self-trust that comes from showing yourself you can handle things
It’s about becoming the kind of person who trusts themselves, challenges themselves, and knows they can handle more than they think.I talk about creating new meaning from something old, what it felt like to give a meaningful piece of my past a new life, and how that first trip shaped the intention I now carry into it every spring.
But this episode isn’t really just about the desert. It’s about finding your places, your rituals, your moments and the things that bring you back to yourself. The things that calm your nervous system, ground you, and remind you what it feels like to be home in your own body. Because we all need those things.
Ep. 21 Desert Reflections and Finding Home Within Yourself When You are Away from Home
I just got back and am reflecting on my annual solo desert trip. It's something I started during a really hard season of my life that has now become a ritual I return to every year. Not to escape, but to reconnect.
The desert, for me, is one of those places where everything quiets enough that I can actually hear myself again. Where my body settles and I remember who I am.

Ep. 20 Are You Living the Life You Actually Want
In this episode, I talk about the quiet courage it takes to actually live the life you want. We like to believe that we make decisions for ourselves, that we follow our instincts and choose the paths that feel right. But when we look closer, many of us are making decisions based on expectations, pressure, or what makes the people around us more comfortable.
