We’re a few weeks into 2025, and the shine of the new year is already starting to wear off. If you’re feeling stuck dragging the weight of last year’s disappointments into today, you’re not alone. In this episode, I dive into the power of surrender, the art of letting go, and how to reframe the past so it doesn’t hold you back from the future you deserve. Life rarely goes as planned, but maybe, just maybe everything is unfolding exactly as it should. Let’s box up 2024, tie a bow on it, and move forward together.

This week’s episode is raw, real, and deeply personal—like having a heart-to-heart with a trusted friend. From laughter about Botox mishaps to uncovering the profound lessons of self-love and authenticity, I open up about my journey of battling vanity and embracing who I truly am. Alongside my good friend, Keira Brinton, we dive into the beauty of creation, facing rejection, and learning to show up as our unfiltered, unapologetic selves. If you’ve ever felt the pull to be something for someone else or feared shining too bright, this one’s for you.
