  • What I Wish Someone Had Told Me Sooner
    Apr 29 2025

    I'm launching Season 4 with a solo BIRTHDAY episode. Today it's just you and me - and I am officially 27. We are no longer rounding down, I am in my late 20s and I can sit here and say that I've finally figured some things out.

    But first, life updates. I'll let you know where the f I've been for the last 10 months. I've missed you guys. Also in this episode, we'll talk about the absurd life timeline I set for myself when I was younger, and how I have met absolutely zero of these “milestones.”

    STORYTIME! The Clarins Icons Event was my first brand event in a long time, and I can actually report that we had a blast. We'll talk managing friendships, finding your confidence, and, of course, I'll offer a gentle reminder to be fucking nice to yourself. ENJOY!

  • The Mid-Twenties Scaries: Welcome To Your Fully-Formed Brain
    Jul 16 2024

    We're back this week with a solo episode! Get cozy with me and dive into the mid-twenties scaries. I've had some time to reflect since the last solo episode and I share with you how I've been feeling recently about my childhood home selling. What do you do when your home is no longer your home?

    With the house being gone, I've had to tackle the challenge of changing my address on EVERYTHING – IDs, credit cards, bills, you name it. Life has been coming at me fast lately now that I'm 26 and apparently it's all thanks to my frontal lobe maturing. Welcome to my fully-formed brain. Enjoy!
