You are NOT broken — stop trying to fix yourself. In this episode of Keepin’ It Real, I share how I went from scared, broke, and totally lost to fully owning who I am. We dig into why connecting with your authentic self is the key to everything — your healing, your clarity, your power — and how to actually do it.
I get real about hitting rock bottom, losing everything, and how dance became my drug — the thing that plugged me back into Source and lit me up again. I share how I stopped doing “proper” prayers and started talking to God like a best friend (and yeah, I dropped some F-bombs). That’s when the vision for the Groove Method hit me — a global movement to get people out of their heads and back into their bodies.
If you’re ready to stop waiting for permission and start living like you mean it, this one’s for you. It’s time to take back your time, your joy, and your freedom — and I’m gonna show you how.

Healing from trauma starts with one truth—you’re the only one who can do it. In this episode, we get real about what it takes to stop letting your past control you and start owning your healing.

We dig into energy and transformation, exploring how you can rewire your brain, shift your mindset, and break free from the victim narrative. This is about facing your pain, reshaping your reality, and stepping into your agency so you can live on your terms.
Because healing isn’t just in your head, we also talk about the body as a tool for liberation. Movement becomes the key to breaking cycles, releasing energy, and reconnecting with yourself. If you’re ready to stop waiting for someone else to save you and start creating the joy and freedom you crave—this one’s for you.

What happens when you realize your worth has nothing to do with a credit score? In this episode of Keepin’ It Real, I get honest about the moment I woke up to the grind of 70-hour workweeks, endless credit card payments, and the belief that my value was tied to numbers and titles. You’ll hear how I flipped the script and started prioritizing my own well-being over society’s expectations.
I share the messy but liberating truth of walking away from a 15-year job, even when offered more money, because I refused to keep building someone else’s dream at the cost of my own health. From breaking free of financial pressure to healing patterns like bulimia, I dive into what happens when you finally say, “enough,” and reclaim your energy for yourself.
This conversation is about choosing authenticity over approval and learning to live unapologetically. Through meditation, dance, and self-discovery, I found the courage to let go of the grind and reconnect with my true self. If you’ve ever felt trapped by the rules of the game, this episode will remind you that you’re allowed to trust yourself, break free, and create a life that’s actually yours.

Ever feel like you’re hustling through life but still disconnected from yourself? In this episode of Keepin’ It Real, I share how learning to trust my intuition and carve out space for self-reflection completely transformed me. You’ll hear how slowing down, listening in, and challenging old beliefs can open the door to real freedom and self-discovery.
I get real about the discomfort of sitting still with my racing mind, and how that practice eventually connected me to my body, emotions, and truth. I also break down the conditioning that kept me in survival mode—chasing productivity, money, and control—and the unexpected moment of surrender that showed me what it feels like to be fully present and free.
This episode isn’t about following my path—it’s about sparking your own. When we drop judgment, question the programs we’ve been running, and dare to live authentically, everything shifts. Tune in and let’s get real about the journey back to yourself.

Ever asked yourself, “Is this really as good as it gets?” In this episode of Keepin’ It Real, I share the breaking point that forced me to confront my choices and the destructive cycle I was stuck in. You’ll hear how one moment of truth led me to question everything—and why self-reflection is the key to creating real change.
I get real about the gap between looking “successful” on the outside and feeling broken on the inside. By asking hard questions like “Why do I hate myself?” I uncovered the beliefs driving my behavior and finally began to heal. This episode is packed with insights on how to recognize the disconnect in your own life and start moving toward freedom.
Within weeks of facing the truth, I was no longer trapped in the cycle that had consumed me for years. If you’ve ever felt stuck in habits that don’t serve you, or tired of pretending everything’s fine when it’s not, this conversation will show you what’s possible when you start keepin’ it real—with yourself first.

Let’s be real—aging freaks a lot of people out. But what if getting older is actually your invitation to stop chasing some fake ideal and start feeling damn good in your skin? In this episode, I’m getting raw about the real beauty of aging, how I made peace with my body at 45, and why self-acceptance is the most powerful kind of glow-up.
I’ll share what it took to break free from years of body shame, bulimia, and the pressure to stay young, skinny, and perfect. We’ve been brainwashed to believe our worth is tied to how we look—and I’m calling BS on that. Your body changes, and that’s not a problem—it’s a message. It's asking for different care, more respect, and a hell of a lot more love.
We’ll also talk dance—yep, even if you “can’t dance.” I’ll show you how movement can reconnect you to your body and help you ditch the self-judgment. This isn’t about looking sexy. It’s about feeling free. So if you’re ready to stop fighting your body and start owning every stage of life, press play. Let’s get real.

Memorable Quotes:
“Now it's about feeling good in my body and making sure that my body feels good all of the time. And what do I need to do to make sure my body is feeling good all the time?

But letting go of the obsession of that there's a certain shape that needs to be obtained.” – Misty Tripoli
“Most people don't dance because they feel awkward in their bodies They feel uncomfortable and and dance is actually our most natural form of movement It is the way that we're supposed to.” – Misty Tripoli

Let me be real with you—pleasure is not a damn luxury, it’s your birthright. In this episode, I’m diving into why we’ve been taught to play small, stay quiet, and put everyone else’s needs before our own—and why that stops now. Especially for my badass women over 50, it’s time to reclaim your body and your joy.
I’m sharing the raw truth about my own journey—how I spent years taking what was handed to me instead of asking for what I actually wanted. I’ll give you real, practical ways to reconnect with your body, your desires, and your pleasure. We’re talking solo dates, lighting candles, dancing naked, touching yourself with curiosity—not shame. This is how we begin to remember who the hell we are.
Here’s the deal: no one’s coming to give you permission to feel good—you’ve got to take it. I’ll show you how to stop waiting, start asking, and become the hero of your own story. So if you’re ready to own your pleasure and stop apologizing for wanting more, hit play. Let’s do this.

Ever felt invisible? Like you’ve faded into the background of your own life? Yeah, me too. In this episode of Keepin’ It Real, I open up about the gut-punch of feeling irrelevant—especially as we age. I share my own experience on the dance floor, where I once thrived, only to realize that the attention I once had? Gone. But this isn’t just about dancing—it’s about how we navigate change and the emotions that come with it.
But what if invisibility wasn’t a curse but a freakin’ superpower? I talk about flipping the script, ditching external validation, and finding real joy. When you stop worrying about who’s looking, you show up for yourself in the most powerful way—no pressure, no proving, just raw, unfiltered self-expression.
If you’ve ever felt sidelined, this episode is for you. I keep it real about the struggle but, more importantly, the freedom that comes with embracing this new phase of life. Tune in for a bold, body-positive take on aging, self-worth, and owning your power—on and off the dance floor.

Confidence isn’t something you just wake up with—it’s built through self-acceptance and real inner work. In this episode of Keepin’ It Real, I get straight to the truth: confidence doesn’t come from quick fixes or external validation. It comes from owning who you are, flaws and all.
I open up about my own struggles with body image and self-worth and share what’s helped me break free—like asking the tough questions, unraveling old beliefs, and treating myself with the kindness I deserve. Confidence isn’t about perfection, it’s about trusting yourself and standing in your power.
If confidence has ever felt out of reach, this episode is your wake-up call. I’ll give you simple, real steps to help you build self-trust, set boundaries, and stop faking it. Plus, join me for live Zoom sessions where we’ll move, connect, and grow together. Let’s do this!

Let me tell you something real quick—you were born to dance. In this episode, I’m breaking down the BS we’ve been fed about who’s “allowed” to dance and what it’s supposed to look like. We’re getting into the truth: you’ve got a groovethat’s 100% yours, and it’s time to let it out.
We’ll talk about how we lose that natural instinct to move because of fear, shame, or trying to fit into some made-upmold. I’ll share what happens when we stop trying to “get it right” and just move the way our bodies want to move. You’ll hear about the Groove method, how we use music to unlock emotion and energy, and why dance isn’t about steps—it’s about connection.
This episode is for you if you’ve ever said, “I can’t dance.” {Spoiler alert: that’s a lie.) Doesn’t matter how old you are, what shape you're in, or if you’ve never taken a class in your life. You belong on the dance floor—your dance floor. So, let’s demystify dance, drop the fear, and start moving like your soul remembers how.
