In this episode, we’re talking about something that’s been heavy on my heart lately the difference between proving energy and choosing energy.

So many of us (especially ambitious women) move through life trying to prove:

• that we’re capable
• that we’re worthy
• that we’re good moms
• that we made the “right” career choices

But proving is exhausting… and honestly, it can keep us stuck.

What if this season of your life didn’t have to be about proving anything to anyone — and instead, it could be about choosing from desire, alignment, and self-trust?

This is a real, honest, walk-and-talk style conversation — the kind you’d have with a friend on a long walk or over coffee.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, conflicted, or caught in people-pleasing loops… this one’s for you.

Reflection question to sit with:
What would you do if nobody was clapping for you?

What if you didn’t have to choose between being grateful and wanting more?

In this solo episode, I’m breaking down the concept of blissful dissatisfaction—the art of loving your life while still being hungry for growth. I’m sharing why falling in love with the process matters more than the outcome, how to stop comparing yourself to past versions of you, and why discomfort is often a sign you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be.

Whether you’re entering a new season, starting over in your career, navigating motherhood, or chasing a big vision that feels far away, this episode is meant to help you reframe the journey and feel proud of yourself along the way.

If you’re an ambitious go-getter who’s feeling that end-of-year / new-year hype (or coming back from a pause, pivot, or “wait… what am I even doing?” season)… this episode is for you.

Because momentum is powerful — but going from 0 to 100 is the fastest way to burn out, hate your goals, and want to burn it all down.

In this episode, I’m sharing how I’m personally ramping things up right now (while finishing my first trimester, parenting a toddler, switching career paths, studying for my real estate exam, building a property from the ground up, and bringing the podcast back 
) — and how you can build momentum in a way that still lets you feel grounded, present, and like you’re actually on your own team.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why direction matters more than speed (and why 0 → 100 backfires)
• How to set goals based on your actual season of life
• Why your pace might need to change — and that doesn’t mean you’re failing
• The power of choosing a 30–60 day main focus (instead of 12 goals at once)
• Deciding what you’re not doing right now (so you don’t drop yourself)
• Using energy as the metric vs motivation — “does this expand me or drain me?”
• How to make your goals more fun so you’ll actually stay consistent
• Why white space isn’t laziness — it’s strategy
• The reminder you need: you’re not starting from scratch… you’re starting from experience

If this hit, DM me your 2026 goals — I love hearing what you’re excited about and I’m rooting for you big time.

If Part 1 was the plot twist, this episode is the clarity.

In Part 2, I’m getting more tactical about what the last year taught me about slowing down, feeling confused, quitting things that no longer fit, and learning how to actually trust myself through change.

If you’ve been feeling restless, unsure, or like something in your life needs to shift — this episode is for you. I’m sharing the realizations that helped me recalibrate during a season of pivots and growth, and why feeling “stuck” is often a sign that you’re evolving.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why you can’t recalibrate while you’re sprinting
• How productivity gets tangled up with self-worth
• Why confusion isn’t a red flag
• How trying things creates clarity
• Why quitting can be self-trust in motion

This episode is an invitation to pause, take inventory, and give yourself permission to evolve — even if you don’t have all the answers yet.

Weekly episodes are officially back, and I’m so excited to be here with you.

If this resonated, share it with a friend who needs the reminder 

I'm back — and this episode is the plot twist no one saw coming (including me) lol. 

In Part 1 of this two-part comeback episode, I'm sharing the full, unfiltered story behind my six-month break from this show, the pivots I didn’t expect to make, and why changing your mind might actually be the most aligned move you can make.

From closing a podcast after 6.5 years… to swinging into full-time mom mode… to starting a new show, shutting it down, and finding myself right back where it all began with more EXCITEMENT than I could have imagined—I'm taking you behind the scenes of grief, growth, identity shifts, and a major life update I've been SO excited to share.

This episode is a permission slip to stop forcing yourself into boxes, release the sunk-cost guilt, and trust that you’re allowed to evolve — even if it looks messy.

If you’ve ever felt confused, restless, or pulled in a new direction… This episode is your reminder that you’re not behind — you’re evolving.

 Part 2 drops next Monday, where I get more tactical about taking breaks, recalibrating, and how to know when it’s time to pivot (again).

Share this episode, tag it on your stories or DM me if you're excited about empowerHER being back — because this next era is just getting started & I cannot WAIT!!

Today’s episode is the LAST episode of empowerHER. 

I get into a little of why I’m closing this chapter of the show but really, from the bottom of my heart I wanted to thank you SO much for being along on this journey & letting me be part of your life. 

While this chapter is closing…. I’m excited for what’s next for you & for me too. & as you know….I’m rooting for you forevaaa evaaa. 

This one's for the woman who's rebuilding. Who’s questioning who she is now that life looks different — whether it’s in business, motherhood, her body, or her heart. In this raw solo episode, I’m peeling back the curtain on what I’m currently navigating and what I’m learning about letting go, trusting myself again, and creating alignment in real-time. If you’re in a season of ‘in-between,’ I hope this makes you feel a little more seen — and a whole lot more powerful.

Today we have a super juicy convo between myself and my best friend of 15+ years Jacki.  We’re talking all about taking risks, the role of regret in decision-making, and the healing power of collaboration but also really how to support yourself in decision making.  We’re sharing the BTS of how the new company RentUp came together and how different our experience has been decided to jump into this start up together alongside y husband Seena. We also get into the complexities of navigating identity and the grief associated with change (even if it’s good change). I think you’re going to LOVE this one!

In this episode, we’re talking all about inevitability of problems in both life and business, in particular I’m talking sharing a little more context of the startup I’m building with my husband called Rentup. But really this is applicable to all areas of life— but a real time example of reframing problems as opportunities for growth and learning, rather than viewing them as obstacles is going to hopefully remind you that you sure as hell have got what it takes ;)
