Hey there! So you know those moments when you’re out there grocery shopping, taking a shower or a walk, cooking a meal, and you have all these thoughts that you want to dump out somewhere.. but don’t exactly know where? So basically, I decided to take those thoughts and make a podcast out of it! The idea is to make this podcast a verbal journal. It's basically therapy without paying hundreds of dollars. Come join me in this audio journal to make sense of every day that can be both ordinary and eventful. We'll figure it out together!
Hey y'all!! I was traveling from West Coast to the East Coast this past month and what an adventure that was!! I was in D.C., by myself for work and I decided to treat myself a little during my last night in the city at a fancy fine dining restaurant. So I spill the deets in today's episode. I hope you enjoy!
Hi all! Soon this month, I’ll be celebrating last year of my 20s. And it’s WILD to even say this out loud. And I usually don’t talk about my age cause there’s so many taboos about aging for women, at least where I come from so I’ve been trying not to put so much emphasis on it but who am I kidding? I’ve always felt old in my soul and a child at my heart and I still am there. Only my body is growing older but it does not ultimately define my persona as a whole. So hear me rant about a few stigmas surround aging, the diabolical beauty standards for women, introspection, and reflections through time. I hope you enjoy!

Hey y'all! Today's episode is a little INTENSE. I am recovering from the flu that had me dying so in that spirit I wanted to spill some beans from my relationship with my mother. I also discuss therapy and the need for it and how forgiveness can be a path to healing childhood hurt and traumas.

If you’re looking to get inspired to write or share some of your creative stuff to world then this episode might be helpful. I hope you enjoy!

Hey y’all !! HAPPY FALL!! Hope you’re enjoying the crisp air, warm sun, and this fuzzy feeling. Soo.. for today’s episode, I decided to reflect on this journey of “chasing joy” (yep it’s still going) where I go after everything that sparks my curiosity or that sets my soul on fire. It’s been an interesting experiment so I came back to talk about it and share the insights that I’ve gathered from my experience so far. Hope you enjoy!!
Here’s the video I was referring to: https://youtu.be/c_X_sPNUDes?si=0Zdlad9z0FduAWYd Hey y’all! Can’t believe we’re into the 10th episode for the second season. Woah. That was quick! So for today’s episode I talk about some spiritual woo-woo, hippie-dippie things! How I’ve been noticing some repeated “signs and symbols” for a certain period of time in my life and what I make of it all. It’s hard to believe until you experience it yourself. Trust me, I’m a skeptic and not easily convinced but things have happened that are beyond logic. Sometimes, I also tend to think, it’s the nature of human beings to make sense of what they experience. I’m not sure but I definitely feel some things are beyond what meets the eye and sometimes, our surroundings or the things around us are trying to communicate with us. If we pay enough attention, we might just find answers that we are seeking.
Hey y’all! Been a minute. I was busy with life and life things… moved into a new apartment and it has been a fun yet overwhelming yet one heck of a crazy experience trying to move, organize everything, and put all the pieces back to where they belong to make this space my new home! It’s finally coming together and I can finally take a breath of relief. I just wanted to share a bit about how your home space matters cuz it really does! No toxic roommate situation please 🙅🏻♀️I hope you enjoy! Follow me on IG: https://instagram.com/chasingmuse._?igshid=NGVhN2U2NjQ0Yg==
Hey all! Happy Friday ! So these past few months, I’ve been doing so much! I’ve been pushing past many many limitations I originally set for myself. Proving myself wrong over and over again is one of my favorite things to do! I just wanted to share an insightful recent experience where I climbed up a mountain, and realized, I may be more than what I thought I was and wanted to let you all know, that you may also be more than what you think you are. We are all limitless and have the potential to achieve many things, and sometimes, climb up the highest mountains ! Literally. Hope you find this episode of value.
Hey y’all! Sooo I recently had this very deep almost spiritual and slightly emotional moment of truth, as I was putting together a video for my YouTube channel. It really made me think and be grateful for my life in this present moment. Hence, I just wanted to get on here, and encourage you guys to do the same. Just stop doing what you’re doing and take a break and think about your life as a whole until this point… can you think of at least 1 big thing that you have always wanted to do and have already done? You’re welcome !
Hi all! So I recently made a solo trip to Boston, Massachusetts, and absolutely loved my time there!!

Hi y’all! Bienvenue to the second season of my life! Or …this podcast. Pretty much the same thing. After long long days of feeling stagnant, unhappy, and constantly in the state of questioning everything, I’ve recently made a very active decision to choose happiness over everything so I’m a woman on a mission cause I’ve got an action plan this time!

Hi all! I’ve always struggled with finding my fit in this world. It’s a strange feeling that you belong everywhere yet nowhere and that’s what I wanted to discuss about in this episode. For the most part of my life, I’ve felt like a misfit, early on, I thought it was just my social awkwardness which may have been true but I think there was always more to that. It wasn’t always as black and white. So I don’t know if I truly belong to my home land of mighty mountains or if I belong to Parisian streets…but until I figure it out, I’ll find happy in the way I feel Im a part of the globe and not just one territory.
Hi all! I have been on a roller coaster of emotions lately and I found myself questioning everything. All of me, the things I believe in, the things I’m good at and not so good at. I realized I was doing so much negative chatter that I needed to stop somewhere. I’m sure we’ve all been there, or maybe we’re there and we can’t seem to get out or maybe we get out and find ourselves in the funk again. Soo I had to do some real talk here. I needed to love myself. I needed to be kinder to myself. And for that I needed a little bit of pep talk so this is me pep talking myself …while also telling the same things to those who need to hear it. Self love is a journey and I’m just a page striving to become a queen. Love yourself boo! Because sometimes…you’re all you got!! Also, be a cow when you can be one!! 💕
Hey all! In this episode I discuss how female friendships have shaped my life and why I value them so deeply. I also touch on feminine energy and how it’s something that needs more embracing now than ever. Hope you can enjoy!
Hey all. This is kind of personal and a tad bit emotional episode. February 8th marks one year of my grandfather’s passing away and I just wanted to dedicate this episode in his memory.

First episode for 2023!! 🎉🥳 So many things happened in this past couple of weeks, and it got me thinking… I’ve put many relationships to rest in my life because I “didn’t feel it”, and so I’m wondering …am I doing the right thing? Or am I setting myself up to failure because I can’t seem to feel the initial energy match. Do relationships work that way?
Hey all!! So we’re coming close to the end of this year and I couldn’t be more happy. It wasn’t a great year for me personally, as it felt like some losing streak. Hence, I’m sooo ready to bid adieu to 2022. I learned a lot of things this year; from seeking things that ignites fire in my soul, taking more trips and keep learning to never underestimating the power of messages from loved ones. I’m taking nothing but lessons and the good memories from all the trips this year. I want to start on a fresh slate next year. Happy new year guys, I hope the next one will be way better, cheers! 🥂
Hey guys! So.. I recently read a note I wrote back in the year 2016. And I was like, “man, will I ever be satisfied with my life ?”. This was an eye opening moment (sort of) as I got to reflect on the mental state of myself in the past. Find out what the note was about.
Hey all! November is coming to a close (isn’t that crazy?) and the winter days are coming in so you know what that means… we’re at some point going to get the case of winter blues.

Hey guys!! Welcome to my second episode. Woot!! 🎉 Today I want to take a moment and talk about how happiness has been a struggle for me most of my life. It almost feels like an unattainable goal that I’ve been chasing for a while now and… I’m not sure if I’ll ever get close to it or if I’m just missing the point. I guess time will tell.
