  • Life in Bloom: Friendships, Fun & Fresh Starts
    May 1 2025

    Somehow the year is almost halfway over?! In this catch-up episode, I’m recapping all the things: a sweet gender reveal, A visit from friends who live in Kansas City, and wedding dress shopping for one of my college besties.

    May is packed… from a surprise party to a networking event, a wedding celebration and a bachelorette party all in one week (why does everything happen at once?!).

    I talk about my “no new clothes” challenge, how Haverdash is helping me stick to it, and the urge to refresh everything from my apartment to my closet this spring. And also, my current obsessions: the sauna, red light therapy, and yes... I joined a sports league.

    Plus: my hot take on hate comments, and why I kind of take them as compliments now.

    The overall theme for this episode: Seasons Change, and so do we. Life lately has just felt full, fun, and so beautiful watching the people I love step into new chapters.
