the soft transformation of becoming a mother all while barely recognizing the person looking back at you in the mirror... four months in and that’s where i’m at. it's the messy middle. the space where your nervous system feels like a construction zone. between postpartum depression, identity loss, and the constant hum of “shouldn’t i have it together by now?” this episode is your (and my) permission slip to breathe slow and rebuild softly.

being a creative isn’t always neat - it’s messy, indecisive, and (for me) full of half-finished projects. in this episode, we talk about embracing the many hats i’ve worn (or tried to wear), why i’ve had more instagram handles than I can count, and how i’m slowly building upon new ideas while handling life as a working first time mom. if you’ve ever been laughed at for rebranding, doubted for chasing something new, or called “all over the place,” this one’s for you.

ah yes, the cultural madness that is wedding planning. as a 2025 bride who’s already married and with-child (yup), i break down what i’m skipping - like photographers and favors that end up in hotel trash cans. this is part rant, part reality check, and part heartfelt reminder about what really matters. if you’re planning a wedding and questioning your budget, or just tired of pretending neon signs and champagne towers matter, this one’s for you.

from sleepless nights and feeding schedules to quiet moments of rediscovery, this week i take a moment to reflect on the messy, magical in-between of new motherhood and the slow, intentional journey back to myself.
this isn’t about bouncing back. this is about moving forward. women - especially first-time moms - can reclaim their pink without chasing their past selves, and instead walk toward something softer, stronger, and more true. whatever your shade of pink is, this episode is a love letter to becoming, and a reminder that you’re not alone if life has felt a little beige lately.

quite the random episode… just as scattered as my mom brain! nobody asks me questions, but i asked chatgpt to ask me some and i answered them. the last half of this episode is inspired by the podcasting queen herself, avery woods, with a (solo) game of truth or sip for a fun change of pace.

this episode unpacks the emotional weight of not feeling understood, the connection between emotional safety and brain health (shoutout to Dr. Daniel Amen), and how our need to feel seen isn’t just a personality quirk — it’s a biological need.
we talk self-abandonment, social anxiety, and how self-care has become the most powerful tool in helping me advocate for connection.
