how to get your spark back 24.02.2026

In this episode, I’m talking about something I know so many of us go through but don’t always have language for: losing your spark. That feeling when everything feels harder, your energy is dull, and you just don’t quite feel like yourself. This isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about clearing what’s blocking the version of you that’s already there. ✨ In this episode: The role hormones, over...

things I no longer pretend to enjoy 10.02.2026

In this episode, I dive into an unhinged, yet very honest list of things I’m officially done pretending to enjoy.

the advice I always give brides 03.02.2026

In this episode, I talk about the advice I always end up giving brides: not about seating charts or timelines, but about how to actually feel on your wedding day.

why can't you relax on vacation? 20.01.2026

something I’ve been afraid to admit about work 06.01.2026

In this episode, I share something I’ve been genuinely nervous to say out loud. It’s a belief I’ve quietly carried for a long time, one that made me question myself, my ambition, and whether I was really cut out for the path I chose. For years, I assumed this feeling was something to hide or “fix,” especially as a founder. From building Camber to paying closer attention to my nervous system, this...

the annual reset I swear by 23.12.2025

In this episode, I walk you through the exact end-of-year reflection ritual I’ve been doing for the past three years: the one that genuinely shifts the way I enter a new year. Instead of goal-setting or manifestation, this is about looking back: taking honest inventory of what energized you, what drained you, what surprised you, and what you learned about who you’re becoming. From building Camber...

5 books to get you out of a reading rut 02.12.2025

everyone wants a village, no one wants to be a villager 25.11.2025

In this episode, I dive into a mindset shift that’s been hitting me over the head lately: everyone wants a village…but no one wants to be a villager. We crave community, friendship, and connection, yet we’re canceling plans, avoiding awkwardness, and staying inside our comfort zones. I’m sharing what actually changed my relationships: showing up when it’s mildly inconvenient, following my interest...

what it’s actually like to build something from scratch (and stay sane) 18.11.2025

the holiday survival guide for your nervous system 11.11.2025

From no-phone evenings to grandma hobbies and simple holiday rituals, this one’s all about learning to move through the season a little softer. ✨ In th...

push through or pause? learning when to rest vs. show up 28.10.2025

you don't need to be rich to feel abundant 21.10.2025

To be cringe is to be free: WELCOME TO CHIEF OF SELF!! 11.10.2025

Welcome to the very first episode of Chief of Self! I’ve been dreaming about starting this podcast ever since Okay Sister ended, and I’m finally back on the mic...solo this time.
