POD #00012 Interview Advice

Ever feel like you're behind in life? Like it’s too late, or that you’d do it all differently if given the chance? Same. This week, I’m navigating a low-energy moment, and I’m bringing you along for the ride — no filters, just real talk.

I’m unpacking childhood reflections, trying to answer that never-ending question: What am I actually good at? From creating spaces to setting goals (shoutout to Sugar Pine and my new content room!), I'm 11 weeks into this journey — not where I want to be yet, but trusting in divine timing.

You’ll also hear updates on tennis, making new connections while staying true to yourself, and some real-world tips on applying for jobs — from decoding jargon to landing interviews:

  1. Be confident

  2. Do the research

  3. If it’s meant for you, it’s yours

So grab your tea, take a breath, and tune in. Let’s figure this out together.

POD # 00011 Integrity

Tomorrow’s already the 4th of July.

Hair care tips incoming—sharing why I love that Innersense Beauty hair line! A quick hair journey too: from trying to fit in with straight hair to embracing my curls fully, even in a wet landscape.

I’m not in the business of perfection—I'm in the business of consistency. A little backstory on last week’s first guest appearance and what that stretched in me.

Success comes with a certain kind of discipline and routine. But now I’m on a completely different side of the pendulum: less hours, way less demand. And somewhere between sleeping in, taking a walk, and just being still, I landed on the word: integrity—following through on your word, even to yourself.

We also get into the idea of letting go, the messiness of navigating negotiations and offer letters. And yes, I’ll show you my organization/planners… spoiler: I don’t have a new job....yet!

POD #00010 Taking a break with Jacob

Endless gratitude for you sharing your story. We welcome our first guest, the one and only Jacob Hadley. This episode marks a milestone—not just in having our first guest, but in overcoming our own nerves and putting ourselves out there. Here it goes, from the beginning: how we met, the magic of Mount Tabor dance, and the moment of knowing—when you know, you know.

We talk about the power of playgrounds and the lost art of tapping into your creativity. We explore what it means to feel uncomfortable in the wondering of what others will think, especially in a landscape where we sense and see people policing each other. We live in extremes that often silence conversations—it’s very “this or that.” But curiosity is the medicine.

Jacob shares how he defines where he's at right now: unemployed, in school, and 36 years old. It’s not your typical route, but there’s so much alignment in it. I share my story of veganism and how it relates to expansion—to having a sense of structure and how that translates into setting healthy boundaries, including the choice to put a relationship over a career.

We open up about low self-esteem and the feeling of being less-than while working in the service industry. We talk about tools for nicotine addiction, starting gently, and the reminder to not quit quitting. We shift our mindset from losing something to gaining something. We talk about therapy, pharmaceuticals, and the courage it takes to ask for help.

It’s all about changing your internal dialogue, changing your mind, and allowing space to expand. And we leave you with a final note: remember to pause.

POD #0009 Do Dreams Come True?


We explore the trap of comparison, how to create through the natural rhythms of life (the going and the pausing), and what it's like to step into dating for the first time with more clarity.

In this deeply personal episode, I reflect on the journey from struggling with mental health and the pressures of society. From shifting into high school to college and how everything imploded when I moved to San Diego. From the early loneliness of my 20s to learning to feel at home in my own skin, I talk about what it really means to be present now — and to have compassion for yourself along the way.

And then… an unexpected twist — a trip back home to Germany leads me straight into the arms of my partner. 

This one’s about transformation, vulnerability, and how love often finds us when we finally find ourselves.

POD #0008 What the Fu*k

The job hunt continues. What am I even doing with my life?
If you're in a season of self-discovery, wondering what the universe is trying to tell you, you're not alone. In this episode, we talk about leaving routines behind, chasing that dream job, and the frustration of feeling stuck while still trying to figure it all out.

No video tonight—I hit a cloud wall. But that doesn’t stop the real talk.

We’re asking the hard questions:
What are you doing to change your situation?
How much of this is tied to self-worth?
And what practical steps can you actually take to shift gears?

Shoutout to ChatGPT for keeping it grounded. Let’s talk real life, frustration, and how to move from stuck to starting.

POD #0007 Being A Boss

This might be the best episode yet. Grab a meal, take a deep breath. We’re talking about what it really means to step into leadership — not just chasing a title or money, but being in charge of people’s livelihoods. 

I’m ripping off the bandaid.

Starting Today!


Shout out to Spindrift, Ched Threads, Mount Tabor Dance, “The Pivot Year” by Brianna Wiest, Oura Ring, and SoFi Bank.

POD #0006 I Got A Car

This week was exactly that — a blend of progress, uncertainty, and quiet wins. I open up about beginning the journey to becoming a car owner, whilst facing driving anxiety.

What's your relationship with money? For me it's a tool, not something to fear — I share my process to become debt free. While wrestling with the fear of what others might think and learning to trust myself more deeply. From the first time actually working from home to the excitement of starting tennis lessons, I’m learning how to find gratitude in the now — even when the path feels wavy baby.

POD #0005 Mindset

Mindset is everything.
Do you trust yourself — or do you get lost in old patterns?

In this episode, we explore what it really means to take the leap. Whether it’s a new job, a new path, or a new version of yourself, it can feel like standing at the edge of a cliff — uncomfortable, uncertain, raw. But something powerful happens when you stop dipping your toe in and decide to jump.

We’ll talk about the mindset shift that happens when you fully commit — and the beauty of staying in your decision, even when it’s messy.

I'll share tips for navigating the unknown, from the importance of building community to the joy of gathering, celebrating, and staying open to new people and ideas. Let the discomfort stretch you. Let curiosity lead. Let your people hold you.

Here it is:

Am I coming from love or fear?
That one question can change how you show up — for yourself, for others, and for every new beginning.

Tune in. This one’s for all my people on their path to discovering themselves.

POD #0001 What do you want to be when you grow up?

Welcome to my very first episode (!!) where I take you on a dive straight into my brain, my thoughts and deep conversation.

In this debut, I unpack how I got here, why I’m doing this, and what it’s like to go from being the women with low self-worth to the women taking a leap of faith. We’ll talk about the journey of getting out of the rat race and the road to creativity.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, scared, or like you’re meant for something more—you’re in the right place.

Hope you enjoy, relate, and come hang out with me every week.
