Hey babes, Welcome back to the pod!
Have you ever felt like your head is just full—not in a productive way, but in a way that feels like noise? Well this is me RN.
So I have decided to do a social media break - this is not from a place of burnout, but a desire for a reset, similar to doing a “Dry January” for social media.
This isn’t about negativity or cutting people off—it’s about realignment and creating space for what actually matters.
Have a listen and let me know your thoughts on my decision for a detox.
See you soon,

We’ve been sold two extremes: either you're constantly grinding to prove your success, or you're fully immersed in the soft girl aesthetic—baking bread, homeschooling, and embracing the trad-wife lifestyle. But real success isn’t just about how much you accomplish; it’s about how you feel while accomplishing it.
In this episode, we’re diving into what it really means to embrace your soft girl era without sacrificing productivity. How can you create a life that feels gentle and fulfilling while still making progress on your goals? Let’s talk about finding that balance—because success should feel good, not just look good.

Hey babes, welcome back to the pod. Today, I’m sharing my diagnosis journey….the relief and challenges of finally understanding myself.
We are going to be diving into what it is, how it shows up, the prevalence of late diagnosis for women, particularly post motherhood, medication and the ups and downs of living with ADHD.
I am not an expert, I am only 6 months into this journey and really at the tip of the iceberg, but I wanted to take you along for the journey.

Okay so I saw Tayla Blue talking about Glow Downuary and it just *spoke* to me
She was talking about being intentionally ugly (her words not mine she's obviously stunning) so could glow back up later in the year + I was like *THIS* is the content I’ve been craving, so today I'm taking you with me on my glow down plan!

In this episode of It’s Upgrade Season, I’m breaking away from traditional goal-setting and embracing a softer, more intentional approach for 2025.
We’ll dive into why goals don’t always align with our current season, the importance of staying open to discovery, and how prioritizing internal intentions over external validation can be a game-changer.
This year, it’s all about creating memories, grounding in authenticity, and staying flexible to what’s possible. If you’ve ever felt the pressure of rigid goal-setting, this one’s for you.
