If you’ve ever felt like you’re falling behind, whether it’s in your career, your relationships, your finances, or just life in general, this episode is for you. (Also, trust me, we’ve all been there.) In today’s episode, I’m unpacking the pressures to keep up, the myth of “being behind,” and the sneaky trap of comparison.

2025/04/22

In this episode, we're diving into a topic that deserves more space and recognition: the many different ways to celebrate life’s achievements and successes — beyond the traditional milestones of engagements, weddings, and babies. Inspired by an iconic Sex and the City episode, (yes, the one with Carrie Bradshaw’s stolen Manolos) I’m chatting about the pitfalls of only celebrating “acceptable” or expected life events, and how we can expand milestone moments to be more inclusive for ourse...

2025/03/25

We all know the weight of words—how they can lift someone up or drag them down. In this episode, I flip the usual advice of "don’t talk badly about someone" and instead focus on why we should speak about others…kindly. Whether it’s behind their back or (preferably) to their face, we should try to share more of our positive thoughts and compliments. I share personal stories of moments when a simple compliment or comment seemingly shifted someone’s day (and/or confidence), and how being ...
