Project Loving Myself

Ever notice how you know better… but still find yourself choosing the same kind of relationship over and over again? One minute you’re clear on your standards, and the next you’re drawn to something that feels familiar but leaves you questioning yourself. In this episode, I’m joined by Sammar Shabir — author of The Barred Window, Senior Certified Professional Life Coach, and founder of Rewrite wit...

Ever feel like you want to relax and let go… but a part of you just won’t let you? One minute you’re open, hopeful, and trying… and the next you’re overthinking, pulling back, or expecting things to go wrong before they even do. In this episode, we unpack what really happens when your trust gets broken. Not because you’re too guarded or too much, but because your mind and body learned how to prote...

Notice how you can want a healthy, loving relationship… but the moment things start feeling calm and steady, something inside you pulls away? One minute you’re craving consistency, and the next you’re overthinking, shutting down, or questioning everything for no clear reason. In this episode, I’m joined by Monika Wyss, a Family Constellation Facilitator and clinical Hypnotherapist, to explore why...

Feel like your body is trying to tell you something… but you can’t quite understand it? In this episode, I’m joined by Jiaming Ju, founder of Kun Health and a second-generation licensed Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioner, for a grounded conversation on the mind–body disconnect behind so many of the symptoms women quietly normalize. Because sometimes what looks like “just hormones” on the surface—...

Ever feel like your brain is running in the background even when you’re trying to rest… like you’re doing things all day but still feel behind? One minute you’re starting a task, the next you’re distracted, overwhelmed, and wondering why everything feels heavier than it should. In this episode, we unpack what’s really going on when your mind feels scattered and foggy. Not because you’re lazy or un...

Feel like you’ve been sensing things others don’t notice… a gut feeling about someone, a quiet nudge about a decision, or an inner knowing you can’t fully explain? One minute you think you’re just being “too sensitive,” and the next you start wondering… what if that sensitivity is actually your intuition waking up? In this episode, intuitive mentor Amy Wilkinson joins us to unpack what spiritual a...

Ever feel like love got an upgrade… but you’re still using outdated software to navigate it? One minute you thought chaos meant chemistry, and the next you’re realizing your nervous system just wants peace. Clarity. Consistency. Safety. In this episode, we unpack the new language of modern love and what Gen Z’s romantic vocabulary is really revealing about our evolving standards. Because this isn’...

Ever look at your life and think… everything is technically fine, so why does it not feel like mine? No major disaster. No dramatic ending. Just a quiet “off” that makes you feel like you’re performing your life instead of actually living it. In this episode, we unpack why high-achieving women can build lives that look successful on paper but feel disconnected in their bodies. Because sometimes th...

Ever notice how you keep waiting for permission… permission to change, to want more, to outgrow the version of you that everyone else feels comfortable with? The guilt. The roles. The quiet voice that says, “It’s too late” or “You should be grateful.” In this episode, I sit down with Pearl Mashour, Master Women’s Empowerment Coach and founder of Female Fluence, for a powerful conversation about re...

Do you feel like life suddenly sped up and you didn’t get the memo? One minute you’re shedding old versions of yourself, and the next everything feels urgent. Decisions. Desires. Movement. Pressure to act now. In this episode, we talk about what’s really happening beneath that rush. We explore the transition from the Year of the Snake into the Year of the Fire Horse and why this new energy can fee...

Ever notice how Valentine’s Day can make love feel like a report card? Who got the flowers, who made the effort, who felt chosen, and who quietly questioned their worth. In this episode, we’re not canceling Valentine’s Day. We’re reclaiming it. We talk about how love slowly turned into a scoreboard and what shifts when you stop measuring your worth through gestures, effort, or being chosen and sta...

Let’s dive into the messy, beautiful journey of learning how to love yourself — especially in the hard moments, when it matters most. This isn’t the curated kind of self-love you scroll past on social media. This is the real thing. The kind you practice when you're heartbroken. In conflict. On the edge of change. When choosing yourself feels terrifying — or selfish. If you're someone who’s always...

Ever notice how love doesn’t usually fall apart with a bang…but with a quiet ugh? A text that didn’t come. A plan that slipped. That weird moment where you realize you’re disappointed again and you don’t even know why. In this episode, we talk about that feeling. The one that shows up when you’re doing your best to be chill, understanding, emotionally mature… and somehow still feeling unseen. This...

Ever notice how overthinking feels like protection… until it quietly becomes the thing keeping you stuck? The spirals. The what-ifs. The mental gymnastics that make love, decisions, and even joy feel heavier than they need to be. In this episode, I sit down with Joelle Yuvienco, voice artist, events host, and the heart behind Paano Kung, a podcast that has become a refuge for overthinkers navigati...

Ever notice how love can feel exciting one moment… and suddenly unsafe the next? A delayed reply. A slight shift in tone. That tight feeling in your chest you can’t logic away. In this episode, we sit with those moments. Not to fix it. Not to label it. But to understand why it shows up. Instead of giving you another “just trust it” pep talk, this conversation explores the quiet patterns that shape...

Ever notice how some patterns don’t feel like yours… they feel inherited? The people-pleasing. The overachieving. The quiet pressure to be “good” at the expense of what you actually feel. I’m joined by John Wang, author of Big Asian Energy, for an honest conversation about generational patterns (especially Asian ones), cultural conditioning, and the survival roles many of us learned to play. We un...

Ever notice how big milestones don’t always make you want to pop champagne… they make you stare at the ceiling and think, “Wow. That was a lot.” Episode 250 is not a victory lap or a greatest-hits episode. It’s a pause. A real one. The kind where you look back at 250 conversations about love, healing, boundaries, self-worth, and becoming yourself and ask, “What actually worked… and what was I just...

Ever notice how a new year arrives with a silent demand to be different? To fix something. To upgrade yourself. To become “better” without really checking in with where you actually are. This episode is a guided meditation created to help you pause, ground your body, and reconnect with the version of you that knows her worth without needing to prove it. Instead of forcing your new year's resolutio...

When a very public “perfect couple” falls apart, it quietly shakes something in all of us. If they couldn’t make it… what does that say about love? About soulmates? About us? And during the Christmas season — when everything feels louder — the love stories, the breakups, the questions we don’t usually say out loud — those doubts tend to surface even more. This episode is a gentle but honest conver...

Ever notice how life hands you a plan… and then immediately laughs and does the opposite? You asked for an elephant-sized breakthrough, and instead you got a hippopotamus-shaped detour. Cool. Love that for us. When things don’t show up the way you expected, it’s easy to think something’s gone wrong. But what if nothing’s wrong and life is just offering you a different lesson than the one you order...

When your soul keeps nudging you to do something bigger with your life, who actually says, “Sure, let me blow up my whole comfort zone real quick?” No one. But sometimes life gets so uncomfortable that staying the same feels scarier than changing. What if choosing yourself doesn’t require a dramatic leap, just an honest moment of, “Okay Universe, fine… I’m ready.” And to make this whole conversati...

When a year drags you through plot twists you never signed up for, who actually says, “Wow, what a blessing”? No one. But sometimes the moments we’d rather erase end up revealing truths we were finally ready to hear. So what if endings aren’t just for resolutions and champagne toasts… but also for releasing the heaviness, the pressure, and the stories you’ve quietly carried all year long? This wee...

When life knocks you on your butt, who actually says “thank you”? No one. But sometimes the stuff we avoid the most ends up teaching us the best lessons. So what if gratitude isn’t just for the cute, calm moments… but also for the mess, the heartbreak, and the plot twists that make you wonder if the Universe is trolling you? This week, we’re talking about real gratitude. The grown-woman kind. The...

Ever ask yourself, “Why won’t my body let this go… even when I’m doing everything right?” Because a lot times, the weight we carry isn’t physical. It’s emotional. In this episode, we explore how unprocessed emotions get stored in the body, why they show up as physical weight or stubborn symptoms, and how your nervous system plays a bigger role in your health than any diet ever could. Episode Resou...

We're talking about the lies we tell—the tiny white ones, the polite ones, and the quiet ones we whisper to ourselves just to get through the day. Because every lie—no matter how small—costs you connection. With others. And with yourself. We’re unpacking why honesty feels so hard (especially in relationships), how to speak your truth without blowing things up, and why it might be the most freeing...
