Little Bit Different

In this episode of A Little Bit Different, I’m sharing my unforgettable journey to Nuquí and Playa Termales on Colombia’s Pacific Coast. Picture this: no Wi-Fi, no cars, just wooden cabins, breathtaking beaches, and a community of the kindest, happiest people I’ve ever met. I talk about whale watching (in season!), jungle hikes, and even the humbling simplicity of meals shared in this remote parad...

Welcome to a brand-new year and an all-new episode of Little Bit Different! I’m recording this from a remote beach town in Colombia, where the jungle meets the Pacific. It's been the perfect place to slow down, reflect, and plan for an epic 2025. In this episode, I share my personal goal-setting process—how I brain-dump ideas, filter them through intention, and break them down into meaningful cate...

In this final episode of A Little Bit Different for 2024, we’re diving deep into the art of reflecting on the year and setting yourself up for an epic 2025. I'll share my personal framework for annual reflection—a mix of brain dumps, photo albums, and intentional solo time (yes, solo dinners are a thing, and they’re fabulous 🍷). You'll hear about my highs, my not-so-highs, and why being your own...

This week, I’m taking you on a whirlwind journey to Sri Lanka. This isn’t your average travel story—it’s about a silent Vipassana meditation retreat that unexpectedly changed my life. Picture this: meditating 10 hours a day in silence, sleeping on a rusty bed frame with spiders for company, and eating crackers for dinner. Sounds fun, right? While I went into it thinking I was ticking the next box...

This week I’m diving into something that’s been on my mind for a while: the difference between illusions and truths. Life has a funny way of throwing shiny things at us—“Once I have this, I’ll be happy,” “If I just move there, everything will work out.” But let me tell you, these are traps I’ve fallen into more times than I care to admit. I break down three big illusions I’ve faced and the hard-wo...

This week, I’m sharing my love letter to Ceará, a stunning, windswept gem in Brazil’s northeast. After spending the better part of four years here, I’ve soaked up its beaches, its laid-back vibe, and of course, its endless wind for kite surfing. This episode is part guide, part reflection, as I highlight my favorite spots—from the tranquil Taíba to the lively Jericoacoara. Whether you’re a kitesur...

Hello, world! This week, I’m sharing something that’s been brewing for years but finally clicked: I’m officially a kite surfer… on a surfboard! 🌊 This episode is all about rewriting the old stories we tell ourselves—like how I thought I’d never be cool enough to surf. Spoiler: it’s possible, and I’ve got the bruises to prove it. I take you through my crash course in Preá, Brazil, the hilarity of...

In this week's episode, I get personal about the lessons I’ve learned transitioning from single life to being in a relationship. After 15 years of flying solo, I’ve stepped into the uncharted waters of partnership, and let me tell you, it’s been a mix of building new muscles and leaning on my support system. From learning that things don’t have to be perfect (shoutout to my buddy Ryguy for that ge...

Let’s talk about  intention . It’s not just a buzzword—it’s the backbone of everything I’ve built, from growing my business to improving my fitness and relationships. In this episode, I share how setting simple, focused intentions has shaped my life, including the quirky routine of writing monthly revenue goals on a whiteboard (blue marker, always). Whether it’s hitting 10% body fat or doubling my...

This year has been a wild ride of lessons, love, and leveling up. I’ve learned that your reputation is everything—it's not about what you can get from it, but about the connections you build and the love you leave behind. Returning to Caraíva and Vancouver reminded me how important it is to leave places better than you found them and how fulfilling it is to come back to those relationships. Anothe...

Hey, what’s up, world! In this episode, I’m taking you on an epic journey across three of the wildest adventures I’ve ever had: climbing Kilimanjaro, trekking to Everest Base Camp, and tackling Aconcagua. Spoiler alert: I was totally unprepared for Kilimanjaro (who knew sandals weren’t the best gear?), but somehow, I made it. Along the way, I learned some serious life lessons like the power of goi...

I'm super pumped to share this wild ride of an episode with you.

In this episode, we're diving deep into the world of sales—something I've always thought I had a handle on, but boy, have I been humbled! I've spent the last two months devouring sales books like Sell Like a Wolf, Spin Selling, and Gap Selling, and working with Dan Martell's coaching community. It's been a game changer, and I want to share the insights that have transformed not...
