A Lucky Life: A Self Discovery & Improvement Podcast

What does it really mean to show up authentically in dating and relationships? In this episode, relationship coach Kayle Ersek and I unpack why so many of us lose ourselves in love, how our attachment patterns shape the way we connect, and what it actually looks like to build self-trust instead of seeking validation. If you've ever struggled with people-pleasing, overthinking, self-abandoning, or...

In this episode, I have an honest and educational conversation with Stephanie Hay, who has been working in suicide prevention for the last 6 years, about suicide stigma, prevention, and the power of language.

We all want to be confident but rarely do we want to pay the price for the real version... spoiler alert: Self Love. Instead of prioritizing true love and acceptance of ourselves, we fixate on external validation and outcomes, causing our self-belief to waver. That's where self-love steps in. We talk about the distinction between self love and confidence and how we can create more of both in all a...
