Behind the Chair with Zach: Inspiration, Passion, and Hair

This week, I sat down with Zach, a hairstylist with an incredible story and contagious energy. What started as a simple chat about hair turned into one of those conversations that flows effortlessly, covering everything from life and creativity to dreams, motivation, and what it really feels like to work behind the chair.

Zach shared how his journey began in high school, when his mom encouraged him to pursue what made him happy. That support helped him discover his passion for hairstyling and set him on a path of artistry and self-expression.

Having lived in several different states, Zach has gathered unique experiences and perspectives that influence both his work and how he connects with others. Every story, every client, and every haircut reflects the heart and dedication he brings to his craft.

Conversations that Feel Like Sunshine

This week’s episode is such a fun one. I sat down with my friend Fran, who you might remember from a previous episode, and I’m so excited to have her back as a solo guest. Fran is a hairstylist, an entrepreneur, and truly one of those people whose energy just fills a room. She’s vibrant, funny, and always brings the best vibe wherever she goes.

The world has felt a little heavy lately, and both Fran and I wanted to lighten things up while still keeping our conversation meaningful. This episode is all about laughter, energy, and connection, but it’s also about intuition, trust, and the ways the universe speaks to us.

We talk about our beliefs in signs from the universe and how those pings or gut feelings are often the little nudges guiding us in the right direction. Both of us really believe that when you slow down, pay attention, and trust those moments, you can find a deeper sense of alignment and peace.

From there, the conversation just flows. We talk about life, perspective, and finding joy even when things feel uncertain. It’s playful, it’s real, and it’s one of those episodes that just makes you feel good.

If you need something light but soulful, a reminder to laugh, trust your gut, and follow where the universe leads, this episode is the perfect listen.

Chill Connections: How Cold Plunging Sparked a Wellness Movement in Delray

This week I talked with a founder of The Club Delray in downtown Delray. What started as a few friends gathering for early-morning cold plunges has grown into a movement built around connection, resilience, and the shared pursuit of well-being.

Josh shares how it all began with one cold tub, a handful of curious friends, and a desire to create something meaningful. We talk about the science behind cold plunging — increased energy, mental clarity, and reduced inflammation — but also the deeper emotional benefits: the conversations, the vulnerability, and the sense of community that forms when people show up for themselves and each other.

This episode is a reminder that wellness doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. Sometimes it’s as simple as getting outside, taking a deep breath, and surrounding yourself with people who lift you up.

If you’ve ever been curious about cold plunging, community wellness, or finding ways to connect more deeply with others, this is an episode you won’t want to miss it

Leveling Up with Jackie & Francesca

This week I sat down with my two friends Jackie and Francesca, who are launching their brand new podcast called The Level Up Era. These two have been best friends since childhood, and their energy together is magnetic. They’re lighthearted, funny, and goofy, but at the same time, they bring so much intention when it comes to growth and leveling up.

Did Social Media Turn Us All Into Brands? A Convo About Branding with Sarah

This week I sat down with my friend Sarah to talk about branding and what it really means today. It’s not just something for companies anymore. In a way, every single one of us has become our own brand, whether we realize it or not.

Sarah and I grew up during the early days of social media, back when you needed a college email address just to sign up for Facebook. It’s wild to see how much has changed since then. Now social media isn’t only about staying connected. It’s where people share their work, their style, their lives, and it has become a huge part of how we all present ourselves.

Sarah has such an interesting background in buying and merchandising, and she shared a lot of lessons she’s picked up throughout her career. What I loved most is how her experiences show that no matter where you are in life, you’re always learning and collecting little insights that shape how you show up later.

For me, this was also a chance to be real about my own weak spots. As I grow this podcast, I know I need to get stronger with social media and learn more about the trends. Talking with Sarah gave me some fresh ideas and reminded me that branding isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being intentional and real with how you show up.

This was such a good conversation and I think it’s one a lot of us can relate to.

Things I’ve Never Said Out Loud – A Solo Episode

This week, I’m getting real. No guests, no filter — just me sharing the things I’ve kept inside for far too long.

I open up about silent suffering, the fears that have kept me from speaking up, and how bottling everything in can take a toll on your mental and physical health. I talk about where I’ve been mentally, the lows I’ve worked through, and the slow, intentional steps that have helped me feel better — from daily walks to the To Be Magnetic “Expanded” podcast and its Deep Imaginings.

I also share dating reflections, lessons from my 20s, and what it’s taken to reconnect with my vision, values, and purpose.

Hosting this podcast has allowed others to be open with me, and now it’s my turn to meet that vulnerability with my own. If you’ve ever kept it all inside or are working through a hard season, this one’s for you. 💜

Tipsy Talk #4: Consumerism! Can We Control It?

Tipsy Talk #4: Consumerism – How We’re All Susceptible & Can We Control It?

This week, Cat and I got real about consumerism — how easy it is to get caught up in wanting more, and how we’re challenging ourselves to hit pause. For the next three months, we’re committing to not buying the things we want and instead using what we already have. It’s all about gratitude, resourcefulness, and being more intentional with our spending.

We also opened up about:

  • The link between consumerism and self-worth

  • How social media marketing pulls us in

  • My personal goal to save more and spend smarter

  • Summer reflections, my Charleston trip, and setting fresh goals for fall

If you’ve ever wondered where your money keeps disappearing to or felt that pressure to keep up with “nice things,” this episode will resonate. Join us for a fun, honest, and reflective conversation — and maybe even join our no-spend challenge!

Today’s episode was such a special one for me — I got to sit down with someone who’s not only helped me, but has supported so many people in my life: Dr. Kim, my go-to functional wellness doctor.

Dr. Kim is something of a local legend. With a background in Chinese medicine and acupuncture, she blends ancient wisdom with modern insight in the most grounded, relatable way.

✨ The impact of food on both emotional and physical well-being
✨ Daily habits that support long-term health (think: movement, grounding, and mindful eating)

Wellness, Unfiltered: Courtenay’s Real Talk on Movement, Motherhood & Showing Up

When I sat down with my friend Courtenay, I expected a great chat—but what I got was a grounded, honest perspective on what wellness really looks like in the midst of motherhood, business, and life.

Courtenay is a fitness enthusiast, personal trainer, and mom of three athletic teenage girls. From homeschooling to shifting schedules, she somehow shows up with presence, passion, and purpose. In this episode, we talk about honoring your body through life’s seasons, ditching the “all or nothing” mindset, and finding balance in a world that often pushes perfection.

It’s breezy, unfiltered, and feels like you’re right there with us — because that’s the whole point. No pressure, no perfection — just connection, laughs, and some fun.
