#44 - I WAS SO SCARED TO WALK AWAY FROM MY OLD LIFE Jun 06, 2022

Today's episode is about facing certain painful truths in my life. I used to feel like running away all the time (not just emotionally but physically). I hated my life in Michigan and always wanted to leave but never knew where to go. However, once I got into a relationship, I thought my yearning would stop, but it only worsened. I loved the person I was with but knew he wasn't the one, and us not being together was so scary. I couldn't imagine being in Michigan without him. He felt like home to me. Walking away from weed made it hard to ignore my truths. And eventually, I had to face them all.

#40 - In 2017, I got arrested for weed and here's what I learned... May 09, 2022

I was deep into my addiction and needed a way out, so I asked the universe to show me one. Five days later, I got pulled over and arrested after the cop searched my car and found an ounce of weed. I was put on probation for eight months and made many positive changes, but I started smoking right away the day I got off. I talk about why I went back, the power of commitment, and how I finally walked away for good.

#21: Are you happy in your relationship or just scared of your truth? Dec 27, 2021

This week's episode is all about the lies we tell ourselves regarding our relationships and what we truly want and need. Have you ever felt a feeling in your body that doesn't feel right? Unfortunately, most of us are terrified to listen to the voices that live within us (our intuition), so instead, we make up stories to keep ourselves safe. I share my journey with my recent break-up, what I learned, and how you can step into your truth instead of away from it. If you resonate with something I said today, I encourage you to take a bold look at your life. Are you happy? Are you being honest with yourself? Remember, on the other side of the pain you might feel when you learn into your truth is your TRANSFORMATION. Walk as you listen!

#20 - Do the stories you tell yourself (and others) keep you small? Dec 20, 2021

This week I talk about the stories we tell ourselves (and others) and how they could be damaging you instead of healing you. I share my recent eye-opening moment of realizing that I've fallen into the trap of only communicating the sad parts of my life, thinking that it was the only way people would be able to connect and relate to me. I've come to understand that being authentic isn't only about sharing the pain; it's about inviting people into your powerful transformation as well. Talking only about my sadness keeps me stuck and discredits all my growth. Maybe you do this in your life with the stories you share or the ROLES you play. Remember, you don't have to keep yourself small (or sad) to be loved and valued. It's time to learn how to step into your NEW story. WALK AS YOU LISTEN!

I'm very lucky to have such a wonderful family but I also recognize that although I love them, that doesn't mean they always know what's best for me. I've had to learn how to take a step back from people in my life so I can listen to my voice and make choices based on my TRUTH, not theirs.

#006 - Showing Up on Social Media When You Feel Lost: Let's Walk & Talk About It Sep 06, 2021

How do we show up when life feels confusing? How do we stay true to who we are even when we're not sure who that is? Today's episode is all about showing up even when the path feels uncertain in life and business. I share my struggle with having to show up on social media even when I feel lost or unsure of what my future holds. I talk about my personal struggles with social media and showing up in general even when I'm going through an obstacle. We all have pivots, setbacks and changes that we go through, but how do we go through them and still show up? Today, I'll help you navigate through it.

Make sure you walk as you listen!

#005 - The Stories We Tell Ourselves: Let's Walk & Talk About It Aug 30, 2021

Today's episode is about the stories we tell ourselves that keep us safe but stagnant and why writing new ones is essential for our growth. First, I talk about a relationship I stayed in for too long, why I was terrified to go, the unique connection that kept me in it, and how I ultimately decided to leave. Maybe you're struggling to quit your job or feel trapped in a particular situation or relationship that's good but not great. We all have different stories we tell ourselves to keep us from making a change, but hopefully my honesty and vulnerability can inspire you to write a new one.

#004 - Walking Away from Weed: Sharing about my 15+ year battle with pot Aug 23, 2021

Today's episode is about my 15-year addiction to pot and the shame I've been living in by keeping it a secret. I describe my personal experience with wanting to get high all the time, feeling alone in my struggle, and the steps I've taken towards making a change (still taking), and how you can do the same. I know what it is like to suffer in silence, which is why I've decided to speak up finally. Today's topic is for anyone suffering from addiction to pot or shamefully living with a habit, belief, or situation that keeps them stuck and in pain. It's raw, open, and vulnerable, but it's the truth, and I hope that by sharing mine, you feel inspired to speak yours. Remember, you are not alone in the things that you go through. We are in this battle together. Keep fighting.

Walk and listen.
