Playdate Podcast

It feels fitting that the final episode of Season 1 begins with a reflection on one of the most vulnerable moments of the entire season... After last week’s unexpected on-camera crash out, I wanted to sit down and talk about what that experience was really like for me in reflection, what I learned from it, and why I ultimately decided to share it instead of hiding it. From there, I’m taking a look...

What started as what was supposed to be a really fun and exciting day, quickly turned into one thing after another going wrong — missed plans, unexpected pivots, and honestly… my brain hitting a wall in real time. This episode of Playdate became something I could’ve never anticipated or planned for. What began as a regular episode, turned into an unexpected Q&A, and then somehow, into a full-o...

In this week’s episode of Playdate, I sit down for a deeply personal and reflective solo episode. And to be honest, it’s probably one of my favorite episodes I’ve done. I discuss what it means to finally surrender, and embrace the journey. The transformation that happens when you stop searching for external validation, and start trusting your own soul instead. Lately, my faith has become an anchor...

In this episode of Playdate, I sit down Gram Castle, my producer behind the show, and share his story and the journey behind building our podcast studio from the ground up, but more than anything, this conversation became a deeply inspiring reminder of what’s possible when you truly commit to your vision and refuse to give up on yourself. We talk about the mindset it takes to get your life on trac...

On this solo episode of Playdate, we focus on reflection. The things I’ve learned, the patterns I’ve had to confront, and the quiet truths that therapy has given me. There’s a version of me that used to believe that if I just loved harder, gave more, showed up better, then maybe I’d be enough for the wrong people. And then there’s a version of me now that understands: the right people don’t requir...

On this episode of Playdate, I sit down with Dragan Andic (@the.97), creative director and founder of The 97 Collective - whose journey is a reminder of what can happen when you commit to a vision before the world catches up to it.

On this episode of Playdate, I sit down with Tommy Schoenith to talk about what it really means to bet on yourself and the dedication it takes to commit to the process, not just the outcome.

The uncertainty, the pressure to keep going, and the quiet, internal questions that come up when...

On this episode of Playdate, I sit down with creator Zach Hamed ( @zlam_dunk ) to explore what it really means to show up fully as yourself in a world that constantly tells you who to be.

On todays Playdate, I sit down with Kiki Rvr (@kikirvr) for a conversation that is equal parts hilarious, chaotic, and honest. We talk about her upbringing, how she found her voice online, and every unhinged moment in between.

On this Playdate, we sit down with Gina Amin (@workoutwithgina) for a conversation about growth that isn’t loud, discipline that’s rooted in self-respect, and the quiet decisions that shape who we are when no one is watching. We talk about what it really feels like to experience rapid success, turning 30, navigating identity shifts, and learning to trust yourself through consistency. Gina opens up...

In this episode of Playdate, I’m sharing six of the biggest life lessons I learned over the past year. Lessons that came from growth, discomfort, endings, rebuilding, and choosing myself in new ways. This isn’t about having it all figured out; it’s about what shifted for me when I slowed down, listened inward, and started moving with more intention. I talk about the moments that stretched me, the...

The first episode of Playdate is finally here! It's a deep dive into the messy, beautiful process of figuring out who we are even when the path forward isn't exactly clear. This episode touches on a bit of personal history and upbringing, and looks at how prior experiences eventually lead us to where we are today. But more than that, it's a conversation about that universal feeling of being lost....
