There's so much judgement on social media when it comes to beauty that I just had to record an episode on this topic because you deserve to do what makes you happy. There's a lot that I do that would fall into the "self-care" bucket that I do so I feel my best and show up with confidence whether that is wearing makeup to the gym, doing my hair, or anything else I choose to do. If you have any questions or enjoyed this type of episode, please DM me and let me know!

I want to share a very vulnerable story with you guys around drinking and alcohol as a former waitress and someone who went out a lot in their early 20's and even in high school. I know the scene and was apart of it for a good while until I had a very disturbing thing happen to me one night. That night in combination of my love for fitness, health, and now leading my team, I approach alcohol and drinking differently. Listen in and hopefully you resonate with my story and make smart decisions when it comes to alcohol.
