The one with the gifts, desires, and strengths the world actually needs. If you’ve been wanting to step up, speak up, or simply stop hiding, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I share some off-the-cuff thoughts about what it means to grow, have fun, and stop getting caught up in the small stuff. I talk about “better problems,” the kind that come from having bigger goals and a clear vision, and how that focus helps keep perspective in both life and relationships. You’ll also hear about the importance of letting things be fun and easy instead of forced, and how identity shifts are simply a part of becoming the next version of yourself. It’s honest, lighthearted, and full of those reminders you didn’t know you needed. Connect with me on Instagram if you have an episode request!
