In today's episode, I talk about feeling stuck in certain parts of my business, why it's time for a rebrand (hello new podcast cover!), the question I ask myself whenever I feel out of alignment/burnt out, and how I'm taking steps forward. The big lesson: Sometimes what feels good or works for you at first changes, and that's okay. Remember, it's not about where you're at now, it's about where you're trying to go. What new choices do you need to make to get there?

This week I talk about showing up (in your life and business) when you don't feel like it and knowing when to push yourself or take a step back. Learning the difference is essential for your long-term success. On a personal note, I've been out of my routine the last two weeks (throwing me off) and experiencing old feelings while being home. It hasn't been easy, but it's an integral part of the journey. So, it's time to head back to LA, focus on me, and keep taking steps forward. I'll share some reflections on my year-one year without weed soon!

This week I talk about "waiting" to be ready to change your life (or walk away from weed, etc) and how it's another form of self-destructive behavior. I share about the things I invest in and how money always comes back when you do good things with it. How much longer can you wait to make a change in your life? How many stories do you tell yourself? It's time to write a new one.

This week I talk about expanding as a person (and business owner) and how to be in the in-between moments of changing our lives. For example, the work you're doing but not seeing results yet or uncertainty of what comes next. Maybe you're falling off track a lot with something. Sometimes it's because you don't have the proper foundations or systems to move forward, or perhaps it's not the right time.
I offer a different perspective that might help you look at the journey differently.

This week, I talk about my big dreams, how walking away from weed put me on my aligned path, and throwing out my timeline has helped me get there faster. Sometimes, we must take different steps or do certain things first (walk away from weed, create my program, etc.) before we get to stand on the big stage—this episode is for anyone who feels misaligned and lost.

This experience made me examine old stories of mine, heal the unhealed and take a big step forward from my past. If you've ever been told that you're too much or made a recent mistake and felt judged for it, this is for you.

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.

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.

It's so important to learn how to overcome your thoughts and GET out of your way so you can get on your way.

How do we show up when our brain tells us to stand still? How do we keep ourselves from engaging in destructive habits or addictions (like smoking weed, etc.) when we KNOW it's not what we want.

Sometimes even when we are healed or walking away from something, we have moments where we are taken back into an old story or pattern. It's about moving forward and getting back on track faster.

I know there's a lot of pressure, lack of structure, and feelings of loneliness. I've been there and have learned different ways to take steps forward during the hard times. Remember, where you're at now isn't permanent. The holidays will be over VERY soon! Walk as you listen!

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!

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!

This week I talk about the struggles I've faced when it comes to making my own decisions, especially when the people I love most don't agree or understand them. 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. If you've ever struggled with making decisions or asking everyone what they think, this is for you!

This week's episode is about getting out of your own way and becoming self aware enough to understand when old patterns are sneaking their way back in. I talk about how I've been feeling a little uninspired lately which has also made me not want to market my podcast as much. I share what I've been doing to STOP myself from making destructive choices or doing things that don't serve me or my visions (like not marketing the Podcast) and how I'm learning to GET OUT OF MY WAY and write new stories for myself.
If you feel off track, bored with your current job, project, work or find yourself back into old patterns or ways of thinking, this is for you! MAKE SURE YOU WALK AS YOU LISTEN.

This week I share about my journey as a creative entrepreneur, being multi-passionate and how helping my friend lose 100 pounds in 2012 put me on my path. I've gone through so many different chapters over the last 10 years on my entrepreneurial journey. Some of it has been wonderful and A LOT of it has been confusing. I'm finally at a point though where I'm taking steps towards my aligned path and accepting who I am so I can become who I'm meant to be. We all have different journeys and sometimes it takes longer to figure it out. Life isn't and neither is being an entrepreneur.

This week's episode is about the process of transformation and how different we feel week to week, sometimes even day to day. I talk about my personal experience with sharing my life on this podcast knowing that my emotions and thoughts are constantly changing and evolving. Sometimes I feel anxious about what I put out there because I change my mind but talking about it helps me move through those fears. It's a really good reminder that we're allowed to change our thoughts, try new things and give ourselves the space (and grace) to keep growing.

When I was twenty-six, I was in an emotionally abusive relationship. Today's episode is about why we attract certain people into our lives, overcome feelings of shame, the insane story of my ex, and what emotional abuse looks and feels like. I share my experience coming face to face with my pain, the 6-month rollercoaster that was our relationship, how I finally decided to leave, and the lessons I learned from being with someone who tried to destroy my self-worth.
Spoiler Alert: I had none when we met.

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.

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.

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.
