Slightly Emotional

In this episode, I’m reflecting on how awareness changes what feels normal. Once you see something, you can't unsee it. The way healing can make us less willing to tolerate things we once brushed aside. The way growth quietly shifts our standards, boundaries, and relationship with ourselves. We talk about family, work, self-worth, and the stories that keep us believing we have less choice than...

I’ve been thinking about how disconnected we become when we stop expressing ourselves fully & honestly. The conversations that I've had recently with with some of my ex's have made me realize that we might be be keeping TOO much to ourselves — and saying the thing out loud has the potential to change everything. In this episode, we talk emotional suppression, reading between the lines,...

Lately, I’ve been feeling like I’m somewhere in between — between an old chapter and a new one. I don’t want the things I’ve moved on from, but I don’t have anything new to step into yet either. Everything just feels a little off — like I’m sitting still while time keeps moving forward. In this episode, I talk through that space — and the strange feeling of being grounded in what I do know, but st...

I'm realizing that the way I’ve been approaching dating might not actually be working.. The more I care, the less it seems to work — and the only time things feel easy is when I’m not really prioritizing it. In this episode, I talk through the pattern and what it’s making me rethink about how I approach dating.

Lately, I’ve been feeling like dating just doesn’t work the way it used to. It’s not about doing something wrong or being too picky… things just don’t seem to work the same anymore. Something about it feels off — inconsistent, unclear and harder to navigate. In this episode, I talk through what dating actually feels like right now — from the lack of real effort to the confusion that comes with mix...

Sometimes it feels like we're not connecting or meeting each other fully in dating — even when we’re trying. In this episode, I get into some of the things I’ve been noticing on dates — what I can't get past, what I think are red flags and what feels like the bare minimum. I also share what I’m looking for — the things that feel simple, but for some reason have been hard to find. And of co...

This birthday felt like a special one. Not because it was a milestone — but because it was different. Not bad, not perfect.. just not what I expected. In this episode, I talk through what that brought up for me — the expectations, the chaos, the disappointments and the reflections that followed. Less about the day itself, more about what it revealed.. and what I’m taking with me into this next yea...

Lately, I’ve been trying to pay closer attention to what’s showing up in my life. I had three completely different interactions this week — a tarot reader, a homeless woman and my hairdresser — and somehow they all had a similar message to share. At a certain point, it stops feeling random. Either way, I want to bring you along for the journey… it usually turns into a good story.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how I show up — and how much of it has been shaped by this idea that I need to provide value. To be clear, to be helpful, to say something meaningful every time. In this episode, I talk through the difference between performing insight and actually sharing from a real place — and what it looks like to let go of needing everything I say to be perfectly packaged. This...

This episode is a little bit different — more raw, unfiltered and less thought-out than what I’d usually share. And that's the point. I recorded this a few days ago, in a version of myself that felt off — emotional, foggy and low energy. When the mood passed, I debated whether it was worth sharing. What I'm starting to realize is that I don't only want to show up when I’m grounded and...

Letting go is one thing. Trusting what comes next is another. After closing chapters, there’s often a quiet in-between — the space where we’re no longer gripping what was, but we’re not yet holding what’s next. In this episode, I share the realization that so many of my patterns — attachment, jealousy, impatience, the need to be chosen — weren’t random flaws. They were rooted in one thing: a lack...

Changing chapters often means relationships change too — even the ones you still care about deeply. In this episode, I reflect on evolving friendships, the tenderness of letting something shift, and how a relationship can be beautiful — and still complete.

This episode is about the fear of being “too much” — too emotional, too expressive, too intense — and how often that belief forms in spaces where we weren’t fully met. I reflect on where this story comes from, how it shows up in relationships, and what changes when you stop shrinking yourself to feel safe or chosen. This is a conversation about self-trust, emotional capacity, and learning to take...

Not every ending comes with clarity or closure. And sometimes we don’t know what the future holds. Even in uncertainty, there is a way to find peace. Releasing control is something I’ve struggled with for a long time, and in this episode I share what I’m learning now — because it feels like the right moment. There’s a lot of uncertainty in the world, and we all need a little nervous system regulat...

In this episode, I talk about walking away from a connection I genuinely wanted — without chasing, convincing, or over-explaining — and why that moment felt like real growth. We unpack self-worth, intuition, and the difference between anxiety and alignment. I reflect on old patterns of needing to prove my value, how scarcity thinking keeps us attached to situations that don’t serve us, and what ch...
