Happy 2022 loves.

Or should I say, WTF am I doing with my life continued.

Anyone else feeling this way? I know I am.

I always have lots of feelings about new years resolutions, goal setting and beyond. But this year, it’s different in a profound way. And I’m coming at you hot with a solo episode from my heart to yours sharing all about my struggles entering a new year — and I’m guessing you can relate.

So grab a cup of coffee and join me as we kick off the new year with a change in perspective on some tried and true rituals that just don’t MF serve us anymore.

Episode #117: It's Okay To Not Be Okay | A Solo Episode

PODCAST BLOG PHOTO (81).png

So many of you have been sharing with me that you’ve been having a global case of the “meh”s. Feeling constantly exhausted and not sure how to be/do/behave and beyond.

I had another episode planned for today but after so many of you responded that you were also feeling this way, I decided to hop on the podcast and share a quickie episode about why it’s never been more normal for these feelings to exist — for us to not be okay.

And yeah — I get candid AF about my own experience with this shit and into it with my nerdery around neuroscience. You know I can’t help myself.

Want twenty minutes of feeling better about why you’re feeling the way you’re feeling (or not feeling much of anything these days) and it’s exhausting? This episode is for you.

Episode #96: "The New Normal": A Conversation With My Breast Cancer Soul Sistah Allison moran

PODCAST BLOG PHOTO (62).png

To round up the month of May and this wild time we’re living in, I wanted to have a candid conversation around this concept that we keep throwing around in society right now as “the new normal”.

“When will life get back to normal?”

“What is normal now?”

What is our world going to look like post COVID? What are WE going to look like? Feel like?

The term new normal is one that might be new to your world — but to mine, it’s permeated through it like a rip tide. I’ve always heard the phrase “new normal” so much in the cancer community. And while I have never personally had cancer, being a woman with BRCA and someone impacted by breast and ovarian cancer genetically, I have connected with so many womxn in the community who are fighting cancer as we speak or are in remission.

I knew I wanted to tackle this on the podcast — especially as many places start to ease up their boundaries around what is or is not safe to do, and I couldn’t have had a better person to have this conversation with than Allison Moran — a dear friend of mine in the breast cancer community and badass human that I am so thrilled to introduce you to.

Episode #94: The Transformative Magic of Breathwork And Meditation with MB Mannino

PODCAST BLOG PHOTO (60).png

I poo-poo’d meditation for the longest time. It was something I didn’t get. I was incredibly intimidated by it. It felt so foreign to me. And the idea of having a meditation practice was (and sometimes still is), something I feel so resistant to.

And if there’s anything I’ve learned, it’s that where we face resistance, is where we need to place our energy and time because THAT is where the massive growth and transformation takes place. And I couldn’t have imagined a more amazing human to bring on the podcast to deep dive into the magic that is all things meditation & breathwork.

MB is a certified breathwork facilitator, meditation guide and holistic wellness coach based in Metro Detroit. She helps you clear through feelings of stress and anxiety using your breath and body to realign you with your highest, most vibrant self. 

Things we talk about in today’s episode:

  • Her journey from working in ad sales and living a life of burnout to the world of breathwork and meditation

  • What meditation really is — it’s probably not what you think, love.

  • How mindfulness and stillness is the path to healing

  • The discomfort of slowing down

  • Why these modalities are more important than ever amidst this time

  • Facing the “feelings explosion” with intention

  • Finding new ways to express ourselves in quarantine, her Corgi Cooper, supportive feminine practices and beyond

Episode #93: Navigating A Layoff & Creating The Career Of Your Dreams With Emily Eliza Moyer

PODCAST BLOG PHOTO (59).png

As a worldwide community, when we recorded this, almost 17 million people have experienced a layoff in their jobs as a result of this pandemic. A number which BLEW MY F*CKING MIND and which is wildly unprecedented in the history of the working world.

I never thought I’d have a career strategist on the podcast. We all have jobs so how is that taboo at all? And yet isn’t that the VERY reason it is? We face so many job hardships, and in many ways, our jobs often reflect a big piece of our identities or our daily stressors, and we never f*cking talk about it.

So, today, on the podcast, we’re doing just that. And doing it with the only person I could have imagined having on around this topic, the brilliant and soulful Emily Eliza Moyer.

Emily Eliza Moyer is an Intuitive Career Strategist who teaches unhappy professional women how to heal old wounds, uncover their purpose, and craft strategic career plans so they can build careers they absolutely love.  She shares her transformative approach via 1:1 and group coaching, free workshops and educational content featured on instagramLinkedIn and through media outlets such as NBC News, Forbes, and The Muse.


Things we talk about in today’s episode:

  • How our careers define our lives, for better or worse

  • What the f*ck to do when we are laid off

  • Work trauma, and how work struggles can impact our mental health and sense of self

  • How entrepreneurship/non traditional work spaces aren’t necessarily the answer

  • How the hell to find your purpose

  • The key to knowing how to make decisions with career, life etc.

  • What the economy is showing around “job security” and how to cultivate security in your life

  • Actionable tools to support yourself in this wild time, fear of failure, unemployment, hilarious jobs we’ve had, ridiculous sex stories and beyond
