Thank Your Ex Feb 23, 2025

Show notes

Ever feel like the harder you try, the worse it gets? Today's episode starts with a hard lesson in letting go of control and learning not to force anything in your life. Then, I tackle your submitted questions. Y'all provided some great ones, some sus ones, and everything in between.

I’ll give my two cents on why we all seem to measure every new person against our ex. Spoiler alert: it’s not a bad thing! I'll break down how to relax into dating, let things flow, and actually attract what’s right for you. We’re also getting into performance anxiety (in and out of the bedroom), the truth about healing before love, and whether texting your ex on their birthday is ever a good idea. And yes, we’re even talking about my worst pregnancy scare.

Plus, the real reason you should thank your ex (even if they sucked).

Triggered Feb 16, 2025

Show notes

Do you get easily triggered? One of the biggest struggles that you will face in finding or maintaining secure relationships is a lack of awareness of how your past trauma affects your current reactions. I've always known that I could be reactionary, but I never really understood it until today. In today’s episode, I’m taking you inside the work I’ve done to break the cycle of fear, abandonment, and over-performance in relationships. We’re talking about understanding your emotional triggers, handling rejection with confidence, and why your fear of looking “needy” is keeping you stuck. Then, I’m reacting to some wild dating takes from Threads, I am going to break down the debate on whether healthy men are actually bad texters.

Overcoming Fear of Rejection Jan 13, 2025

Show notes

Everybody’s scared. Scared to put themselves out there, scared of looking needy, scared of being turned down. And that fear? It’s keeping you stuck. Ghosting, playing games, hyper-individualism—this is modern dating, where everyone sits behind a screen hoping something magical just happens. In today's episode, I share why the fear of rejection is a self-fulfilling prophecy designed to keep you stuck. I then detail all the different walls you subconsciously put up to avoid the intimacy you crave. This isn’t about erasing fear; it’s about owning it and moving anyway. Confidence is being bold enough to ask for what you want and sticking to your standards. Let’s talk about how to stop playing small, stop settling, and stop hiding who you are.

Curtain Call (Season Finale) Dec 16, 2024

Show notes

It's the season finale!! This will be the last episode until January 6th, 2025! It's been a crazy year filled with tough lessons, transformative moments, and some serious inner work. In today's episode, I share some final thoughts about happiness, deep love, emotional healing, and over-accountability. We all have a vision of the type of relationship we want in life, but sometimes, that vision can make you lose sight of who you truly are and what is genuinely meant for you. When you learn to love yourself unconditionally, your life transforms, your relationships evolve, and you find the strength to forgive your past while healing your present. It's time to stop forcing, controlling, or allowing yourself to be controlled. True happiness starts within. Give love, let go of self-judgment, and accept what is!

I'm Sorry Dec 09, 2024

Show notes

I'm sorry. I am sorry for how I have shown up in my relationships this year. Maybe an apology is unnecessary, but when you hold yourself to a higher standard, sometimes you need to admit when you didn't get things right. In today's episode, I will share some of the biggest lessons I have learned about dating this year. I open up about my deepest fear in relationships and how I have not truly been in my worthiness. With death, there is a rebirth and a new opportunity to reconnect with yourself and get things going in the right direction. It's time to find yourself again, you and me both.
