This weeks episode is almost ten years in the making. In 2010, I was a religious watcher of American Idol. While watching the show, my favorite contestant from season 9 was Didi Benami. I thought she was beyond cool, and extremely talented. The summer after the season wrapped, I went to the opening night of the American Idol summer tour in July 2010. Not only did I go to the concert, but I was fortunate enough to go to meet and greet, and spend time with Benami herself. Getting to hang out with Didi was one of the coolest experiences I have ever been part of. Fast forward 10 years later, and I am beginning this journey to making it big. I wrote up a few emails, and was able to get Didi Benami on my podcast. This week you'll hear and learn more about Didi, as well as find out what she is up to now a decade after she was on American Idol. It was so amazing reconnecting with Didi after all these years. One thing that I know, is that her and I will NOT go 10 years without communication ever again. Thank you so much again to Didi and her awesome team for making this unforgettable opportunity happen.

For this weeks episode, I am doing my very first solo podcast. The past three weeks I had some special guests, and I have finally decided to do my first podcast alone. This week, I am talking about something very serious. Anxiety. I have battled with this all my life, and I have finally decided to open up about my anxiety, and share some personal stories about when my anxiety switch decided to turn on. I want to warn you that this podcast is very personal, and as personal as it is I am actually extremely proud to share part of my personal life story with you. Enjoy this weeks episode xoxoxo

OMG! This is probably the biggest episode of my career so far. On my podcast this week, we have Vanderpump Rules' Kristen Doute, and her pal/stand up comedian Rachael O'Brien. Words can't describe how excited I am that these girls took the time to be with me, and allow me to interview them. Thanks again to Kristen and Rachael.

Ever since I was little, one of my favorite TV shows has been Dancing with the Stars. I remember watching the show as a little kid when stars like Lisa Rinna, Emmitt Smith, and Stacey Kiebler all competed on the show. Each Monday night I dedicate my evening to watching celebrities and their pro partners take the dance floor. My best friend, Lily and I went on a little adventure to our friends across the river to see the professional dancers from this iconic show live on stage. The night was full of laughs, smiles, and happy tears. I can't wait for you to hear in detail about the memories Lily and I made while we were at the show. Enjoy this weeks episode:) xoxo
