#120 - It’s Wedding Week! My Reflections and Intentions Before the Big Day
It's officially wedding week! 🎉💍
In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my wedding season — from setting intentions before my bridal shower and bachelorette, to navigating unexpected bumps, practicing presence, and learning how to receive love and support from those closest to me.
I also share some honest reflections about the final month of wedding planning — the pressure that builds, how I’m handling human moments (yes, even with years of personal growth work!), and why setting boundaries has been a key theme during this busy, exciting season.
Whether you’re planning your own big event, navigating milestones, or just curious about the real emotional side of wedding prep, I hope this episode feels like a warm, honest conversation with a friend.

Bringing back an oldie but goodie episode this week! Whether you’re hearing it for the first time, or if you heard it when it first aired back in February 2023, I hope you will find some nuggets of wisdom to take away.
When you’re in a relationship, life’s big questions present themself: Who I am I? What do I believe? What do I value? How do I want life to look? What is normal?
In this episode, I walk through these big life questions and help normalize asking them within the context of a relationship.

#118 - Releasing Intensity in Relationships and Career
In this solo episode, I’m sharing what it’s looked like to reduce the pressure and urgency I used to bring into two major areas of my life: my relationship and my work. From letting go of perfectionism in partnership, to allowing myself to embrace a season of maintenance in business, this episode is a reflection on how releasing intensity can actually create more ease, connection, and clarity.
Whether you’re navigating a big life change (like a wedding!) or simply noticing that things feel a little too much lately, this is your invitation to pause and reflect on where you can invite in some compassion and be more gentle with yourself.

#117 - Getting Your Spark Back with Anna Seirian
This week on the podcast I have on Anna Seirian, a writer and coach for ADHD women who want to trade exhaustion and survival for ease and pleasure. She’s the writer of the best-selling Substack Ambitious Softie and the cofounder of Internet People, a digital media company and community for creatives, artists, and entrepreneurs.
In this episode we dive into the heart of Anna’s Brilliance Experiment and how small, intentional actions can reclaim our joy, vitality, and sense of connection to ourselves, which in turn can help us connect to other relationships in our life more intentionally. Anna opens up about how she’s been cultivating joy in her life through these simple experiments each week that encourage mindfulness, self-care, and personal growth.

#116 - Letting Go of the Need for Certainty in Relationships w/ My Client
I am so grateful to bring on another former client of mine to discuss her transformative journey with relationship anxiety. In this episode we explore:
How the need for certainty in her decisions fueled her relationship anxiety
The struggle of knowing if it is anxiety or intuition and how to navigate
Moving from black and white thinking to accepting things can be “both, and”
Ways she works with her anxiety (not against it) as it shows up
If you've ever felt stuck in patterns of doubt, fear, or overthinking in your relationship, this conversation will remind you that you're not alone—and that growth is possible.
