You’re smart, ambitious, and ready to take on the world — but somehow, the room still feels intimidating.
In this Sugarcoated episode, I sit down with Dr. Khushbakht Peters to unpack the realities of conference networking and etiquette for young professional women finding their footing in the corporate and business world.
We talk about why it can feel like no one’s talking to you, how to introduce yourself naturally, when to approach people, and the subtle cues that help women make a lasting impression.
Whether you’re attending your first conference or trying to finally feel seen and respected in your industry — this episode will teach you how to turn small talk into opportunity, while staying poised, feminine, and authentic.
Hey girlfriend, grab your tea and fuzzy blanket—because this is your ultimate guide to stepping into your cozy, put-together fall girl era. In this episode, I’m sharing how I decorated my home for autumn, from fairy lights and porcelain pumpkins to affordable décor finds at Woolworth, Tedi, Depot, and NanuNana. I’ll walk you through my fall traditions—pumpkin soup, cinnamon rolls, seasonal teas, cozy movie nights—and show you how to create your own rituals that make life feel intentional and feminine.
If you’re on your femininity journey, maybe in your first apartment, and you want to stop living passively and start romanticizing the seasons of life, this episode is your sign. ✨
In this episode of Sugarcoated, I take you behind the scenes of my full prep routine for a big conference presentation. From breaking in heels and picking the perfect outfit, to my beauty hacks, wellness rituals, and mindset techniques — this is the ultimate get ready with me for the stage.

This week on Sugarcoated, I’m breaking down the new Superman movie — but not just for fun. We’re unpacking the mindsets behind Superman and Lex Luthor, and how they reflect the exact differences between people who evolve and people who stay stuck.
Superman leads with humility, consistency, and inner strength. Lex Luthor? He’s all ego, obsession, and insecurity masked as intelligence. And it shows — in business, relationships, and self-growth.
We’ll talk about the scene that perfectly captured the difference between power and purpose… and I’ll also touch on the weird backlash the new Superman actor faced for reaching out to past actors for advice. (Spoiler: asking for guidance is not weakness — it’s wisdom.)
This episode is a callout to anyone chasing success with the wrong fuel. If you’re done letting ego sabotage your potential, hit play.
No fluff. No fakery. Just truth.
First corporate presentation coming up?
Don’t worry — I’ve got you. In this episode, I’m giving you a step-by-step rehearsal system you can use every single time you need to prepare for a public presentation — whether it’s on stage, in the classroom, in a boardroom, or even at a family dinner.
This foolproof routine will give you the structure and confidence to walk into any speaking situation with clarity, control, and calm energy. Whether you're presenting in front of 200 people or just 5, this is transferable knowledge you’ll never regret learning.
When I realized I had one month left before my first-ever corporate presentation in front of 150 people, I decided to turn the pressure into an experiment. I documented everything I did — every rehearsal, every mistake, and every improvement — to find out what truly works when preparing for public speaking. Once the presentation was over and the strategy proved itself, I wrapped up the experiment by turning it into this exact step-by-step system — so you can speak with confidence.
Inspired by the new Karate Kid: Legends movie and ancient Asian philosophy, this short but powerful episode dives into a realization I had: I don’t need more therapy — I need discipline. In this solo talk, I explore why true healing comes from structure, why everything in life can be treated like kung fu, and how to know what’s actually worth fighting for.
This episode is for anyone who’s tired of overanalyzing their past and ready to step into the next level through focused effort, routine, and self-respect.
First time attending a trade show for work and feeling overwhelmed? Don’t worry—I’ve got you.
In this episode, I break down exactly what a trade show is and how to confidently network even if you’re brand new to the corporate world. You’ll learn how to prepare in advance, what research to do, how to map out your booth visits, use the right body language, and when to exchange business cards.
I’ll even give you two real-life script options—one for newbies and one for seasoned employees with a purpose. Whether you're there to explore or represent, this episode will help you show up with clarity, confidence, and a game plan.
Let’s turn those nerves into networking power.
