Life's A Trip - I Forgot The Map

Ever feel like your mind is moving faster than your life can keep up? That’s exactly where I’m at right now. I’ve got books being written, ideas everywhere, podcast episodes in the works, projects half-finished (on purpose), and a vision that just keeps expanding. Some days it feels exciting… other days it feels like I’m on hyperdrive with no steering wheel. But here’s what I’m starting to realize...

Some days my nervous system feels like it’s on fire. I get overwhelmed. I get stressed. I want to hide. I’ve had moments where disappearing feels easier than facing what’s in front of me. But running isn’t the answer. In this episode, I talk about burnout, emotional overload, and the very human urge to give up — and what it actually looks like to stay, breathe, and move through it instead. This is...

There was a time in my life when my thoughts, my feelings, and even my decisions didn’t feel like they belonged to me. I was told what I felt. I was corrected when I tried to explain myself. I learned—slowly, painfully—that it was safer to say “I don’t know” than to be ignored, criticized, or made to feel crazy. This episode is me talking through what happens when you grow up being controlled, gas...

How do we know we’re on our path? How do we figure out what’s actually true for us — not what we were taught to want, not who we were conditioned to be, but who we really are underneath it all? In this episode, I reflect on what it means to trust our inner guidance, to follow what excites us, and to let go of fear-based beliefs that keep us shrinking ourselves to fit into someone else’s expectatio...

We’re taught how to shrink ourselves—to fit in, to be easier, to take up less space. But no one gives us a map for finding ourselves again. In this episode, I share where I’m at right now—mentally, emotionally, and creatively—and why this podcast exists in the first place. I talk about mental health, self-discovery, quiet growth, and why things can be deeply in motion even when it doesn’t look lik...

Life Unfiltered Moments: Just Me, My Daughter, and a LatteSometimes the best conversations aren’t planned — they just happen over coffee (or in our case, Starbucks breakfast sandwiches and lattes).In this Unfiltered episode, my daughter and I sit in the car, talk about life, laugh way too hard, and rate our Starbucks favorites while being our completely unfiltered selves. There’s no script, no age...

We talk a lot about happiness, forgiveness, and peace — but what if they’re not things we find? What if they’re choices we make every day? In this episode, I explore how our belief systems quietly shape our world, why holding onto grudges keeps us stuck, and how choosing a new thought can change everything. This is your reminder that freedom begins the moment you decide to believe differently.🎧 L...

We often hear the phrase, “They complete me,” but the truth is, healthy love comes from two whole people choosing each other.

In this episode of Life’s A Trip (And I Forgot the Map), I share some of the vivid dreams that have been showing up in my nights — from chasing survival in a world of werewolves, to being lost in a crowded house, to a mysterious mansion with an idol at the door.

Life has a way of pulling us in a hundred directions at once. Some days, it feels impossible to keep going. But what if progress didn’t always have to be big, bold steps? What if the small, steady actions—the quiet moments of showing up, even when we’re tired—are the ones that carry us through the hardest times? In this episode, I share how I’ve been learning to slow down without stopping —finding...

For a long time, I played the role they wrote for me — the one that kept others comfortable, kept me small, and left me questioning my own worth. In this episode, I open up about what it means to finally choose yourself , to stop performing for others, and to reclaim your voice. It’s about rewriting the script… and stepping fully into the role you were always meant to play: you . Whether you’re he...

What happens when you stop dressing to be seen — and start dressing to feel like yourself again?
