 In this episode, I get real about how staying stuck almost cost me everything from my relationship to a better life. I share what happened when I started showing up differently, how growth changed the way I connect with people, and why evolving as a person opened doors in ways I never imagined. If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck on repeat, this one’s for you.

IF YOU'RE NOT GROWING.....WHAT ARE YOU REALLY DOING?

 This summer was the first time I ever took 16–17 days straight off the gym… and honestly? I thought I’d hate it. The old me would’ve been ripping myself apart, stressing about every meal, and feeling like I’d lost all my progress. But this year was different.

I realized something huge: you don’t need to be “locked in” 365 days a year to be healthy, happy, or successful. One workout. One pump. A few good meals. That’s all it takes to feel like you’re back on track.

In this episode, I share what I’ve learned about letting go of guilt, enjoying life, and why balance matters way more than perfection. If you’ve ever beat yourself up for skipping workouts, eating out, or just living life — this one’s for you.

🎧 Tune in for some real talk, a little Monday motivation, and a reminder that you’re doing better than you think.

THAT VOICE IN YOUR HEAD IS FULL OF S**T!!

 There was a time in my life when being alone made me feel anxious, uncomfortable even panicked. I needed constant distraction, someone to talk to, something to do… anything to avoid being in my own head.

But now? Alone time is one of the best parts of my day.

In this episode, I’m talking about how I went from feeling lonely in my own company to actually enjoying it. And if you’ve ever struggled to sit with yourself, this one’s for you.

ALONE, NOT LONELY (THERE'S A DIFFERENCE)

 In this episode, I’m getting honest not the highlight-reel version, but the real story.

There was a time when everything felt like too much. I didn’t feel inspired. I didn’t feel strong. But what kept me going was having something to work on. A project. A goal. A reason to get up, even when I didn’t feel like it. It wasn’t about chasing success or being productive it was about survival.

I’m talking about how that “one thing” gave me purpose when nothing else made sense, how staying busy gave me structure when my mind felt chaotic, and how that shift changed my mental health more than any motivational quote ever could.

If you’ve ever felt like you were just trying to make it through the day this one’s for you.



THIS ONE THING FIXED MY MENTAL HEALTH - AND IT WASN'T A SELF-HELP BOOK

 I sat down with absolutely nothing to say—no topic, no direction, nothing. And honestly, I almost didn’t record this at all. But then it hit me… maybe that was the message. In this episode, I talk about why rest, silence, and stillness are sometimes exactly what we need. If you’ve ever felt pressure to constantly produce, this one’s for you.

Thanks for tuning in!!

Much love

THIS EPISODE ALMOST DIDN'T HAPPEN...BUT THEN IT HIT ME!

 Ever catch yourself scrolling, watching your friends check off all the “life boxes” — the house, the job, the relationship — and think, “Sht… am I behind?”*

This episode is your reminder that you’re not. Not even close.

We’re diving into that quiet pressure so many of us feel — the comparison, the timelines, the fear that we’re not where we’re supposed to be. But here’s the truth: there is no “supposed to.” There’s just you, your pace, and your process.

If you’ve ever questioned your path, doubted your timing, or wondered if you’re doing life “right,” this one’s for you. You’re not late. You’re just building something real — and it takes time.

No fluff. No toxic positivity. Just a real talk to kick off your week with some damn perspective.

YOU'RE NOT BEHIND - YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN DAMN TIMELINE

 Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about self-improvement — and how easy it is to get caught in the cycle of constantly doing more. I used to be stuck in that life: track everything, optimize every hour, stay “on” all the time. And if I missed something? I’d beat myself up. I was obsessed with being perfect, and the pressure I put on myself was unreal. In this episode, I’m unpacking that mindset and sharing why I finally let go — and why you might want to, too

THE TRAP OF ALWAYS TRYING TO BE BETTER!

 Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about self-improvement — and how easy it is to get caught in the cycle of constantly doing more. I used to be stuck in that life: track everything, optimize every hour, stay “on” all the time. And if I missed something? I’d beat myself up. I was obsessed with being perfect, and the pressure I put on myself was unreal. In this episode, I’m unpacking that mindset and sharing why I finally let go — and why you might want to, too.

WHY CONSTANT SELF-IMPROVEMENT MIGHT BE HOLDING YOU BACK!

 This one hit me out of nowhere. A friend said something to me recently that stopped me in my tracks: “I think you’re just at peace with yourself now.” And for the first time, I realized… they might be right. In this raw and honest episode, I open up about the journey I’ve been on — from microdosing and cold plunges to letting it all go and simply being. I share what it’s like to go from anxious and constantly searching to grounded and content. If you’re in the thick of the inner work and wondering if it ever actually pays off… this episode is for you. Proof that peace is possible — even if you don’t see it coming.

THIS EPISODE ISN'T ABOUT CHANGING - IT'S ABOUT FINALLY FEELING GOOD!

  In this episode I dive into the power of taking initiative—both in content creation and in life. I reflect on a recent experience making a video for Keith Diner, not just for fun but as a way to build my portfolio and open doors for future opportunities.

Too often, we sit around waiting for things to happen instead of stepping up and making things happen. Whether it’s in your job, personal goals, or creative pursuits, effort and initiative are the keys to unlocking success. I share my own journey, the mindset shifts that helped me take action, and how this applies to anyone looking to level up.
