[Ep 11] — Me vs. My Routine 28.10.2025 37:58
Routines aren’t just about structure, they’re about self-preservation. The quiet moments that remind us we’re allowed to care for ourselves, even when life feels chaotic. But somewhere along the way, routines started feeling like another thing to get right, another measure of discipline instead of peace. In this season finale of Unfiltered Yaps , I unpack my love-hate relationship with routines, w...
[Ep 10] — The Parasocial Paradox 14.10.2025 32:42
Parasocial relationships aren’t just about fandom, they’re about the illusion of connection we build with people who don’t actually know us. In a world where access feels endless, it’s easy to forget that admiration doesn’t equal intimacy, and that being online doesn’t make someone yours to dissect. In this episode of Unfiltered Yaps , I unpack the messy, fascinating space between connection and c...
[Ep 9] — Who Asked You About My Body Anyway? 30.09.2025 36:58
Body image isn’t about vanity, it’s about the words and experiences that stick with us long after they’re said. Somewhere along the way, many of us were made aware of our bodies before we even thought to notice them, and those early comments shaped the way we learned to see ourselves. In this episode of Unfiltered Yaps, I share what body image has looked like across different experiences and why s...
[Ep 8] — Intention Needs Action 23.09.2025 30:44
Manifesting isn’t about sitting back and waiting for life to happen, it’s about setting a desire, trusting it, and moving in alignment with it. Somewhere along the way, many of us were taught to dream big but not always taught how to pair those dreams with action. In this episode of Unfiltered Yaps, I share what manifestation has looked like in my own life and why intention only works when you’re...
[Ep 7] — Secure in Theory, Messy in Practice 16.09.2025 41:26
Understanding and healing our attachment styles isn’t always easy. Somewhere along the way, many of us learned patterns that helped us survive as kids — but those same patterns can leave us anxious, avoidant, or fearful when it comes to love, friendship, and connection. In this episode of Unfiltered Yaps, I share what it looks like to recognize your attachment style and start moving toward securit...
[Ep 6] — Hobby for Hobby’s Sake 09.09.2025 30:04
Finding and keeping hobbies isn’t always easy. Somewhere along the way, many of us traded the things that once brought us joy for endless work, hustle culture, or just survival mode. In this episode of Unfiltered Yaps, I share what it looks like to reclaim hobbies as a form of self-care: the joy, the healing, and the reminder that you are more than your productivity. We’ll talk about your answers...
[Ep 5] —Financially Secure… Ish 02.09.2025 36:25
Talking about money isn’t always easy. Most of us grew up without real financial literacy and learned our lessons the hard way: through debt, emergencies, or trial and error. In this episode of Unfiltered Yaps , I share what it looks like to face the emotions behind money: the fear, the shame, the impulse to spend, and the balance between saving for security and actually enjoying your life. We’ll...
[Ep 4] — So Apparently Boundaries Are a Thing 26.08.2025 30:08
Setting boundaries sounds simple, but actually holding them? That’s the messy part. In this episode of Unfiltered Yaps , I share what it really means to create boundaries that protect your peace, how to tell the difference between a boundary and a wall, and why choosing yourself isn’t selfish it’s self-respect. We’ll talk about your answers to “What boundaries do you have in place?”, the messy rea...
[Ep 3] — Feeling Things Is Ghetto 19.08.2025 30:40
Feeling your emotions isn’t always easy. Most of us were taught to push them down, distract ourselves, or try to “fix” instead of letting them be felt. In this episode of Unfiltered Yaps , I share what it looks like to actually sit with your feelings, notice them in your body, and shift from a mindset of fixing to one of healing. We’ll talk about your answers to “What does feeling your emotions ac...
[Ep 2] - Single, Whole, and Thriving 12.08.2025 26:29
Being single can be freeing, peaceful, and full of joy but it can also come with an ache for more. In this episode of Unfiltered Yaps , I share what it’s looks like for me to be single, whole, and thriving, and why wanting love doesn’t take away from being fulfilled right now. We’ll talk about your answers to “What has being single taught you about yourself emotionally, mentally, or practically?”,...
[Ep 1] — Do It Afraid 05.08.2025 17:38
Fear keeps us safe, but it can also keep us stuck. In this first episode of Unfiltered Yaps , I share how perfectionism, visibility, and vulnerability have held me back, and why I finally decided to “do it afraid.” We’ll talk about your answers to “If fear wasn’t an obstacle, what would you be doing?” , my own journey to pressing publish, and this week’s journal prompt to help you move through fea...

We talk identity, boundaries, burnout, softness, and the messy middle of being human without pretending to have it all figured out.
