#58: Thanksgiving chaos, ugly vests, and Taco Bell’s allegedly superior meat—welcome to the current state of my life. I’ve been overworked, overcomplicating everything, and stuck in a spiral of negativity. Can you relate?

In this episode, I’m talking about the messy middle we all face—the doubts, the obsession with “what’s next,” and the never-ending cycle of self-doubt and impostor syndrome. But here’s the thing: emotions are fleeting, and what really matters are the patterns we build from them.

It’s not about being perfect—it’s about feeling it, owning it, and then moving the f*ck on. If you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed, this episode is your reminder that you’ve got the power to shift your mindset and find a solution. Let’s get real and get moving.

Getting Choked Out for Personal Growth 45:48

hace 9 días45:48

45:48

#65: I’ve been on a kick lately (literally)—because somehow, I signed myself up for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. And let me tell you, nothing humbles you faster than getting choked out by a 13-year-old. In this solo episode, I’m diving into: → Why I decided to start rolling around on gym mats with strangers and how it’s shifting my mindset ( spoiler: it’s more than just learning how to choke someone out ) → The real reason setting medium goals is keeping you stuck (yes, I said it) → How pushing through discomfort in one area of life makes everything else feel easier → That one time I accidentally became known as a cat killer (listen, I can explain) If you’ve ever felt stuck, uninspired, or like you’re just going through the motions, this episode might be the push you need to do something that actually challenges you. Because growth happens when you’re willing to be bad at something first.

#64: What if your wedding content was delivered before your hangover even hit? That’s exactly what Emily Cline does—capturing real, behind-the-scenes moments of luxury weddings and delivering them in 24 hours (all with just her iPhone, no DSLR in sight).

hace 4 weeks43:00

#63: If you’ve ever had to introduce yourself at a networking event and suddenly forgot everything you’ve ever done in your life, same. Networking is weird, small talk is painful, and yet… building real connections is kind of essential. But this episode isn’t just about networking—it’s about owning your story, taking big risks, and embracing the wild twists that got you here. Like, for example, the time I worked at a strip club, got raided by SWAT, and then had to casually drop that into conversation at a networking event. Yeah. In this episode, I’m talking about: → The real key to making connections that don’t feel forced → How I went from bartending at a strip club to running my own business (plot twist: those skills transferred) → The one question I ask at networking events that actually sparks a conversation → My SWAT raid story (because obviously) → Why it’s so important to acknowledge your progress instead of always chasing the next thing Success isn’t just about where you’re going—it’s about recognizing how far you’ve come. So if you need a reminder that your past (no matter how wild) is shaping your future in ways you don’t even realize yet, hit play on this one.

Maternity Leave, Italian Dreams, and Taking Big Risks ft. Nikki Maffey 1:08:23

hace 5 weeks1:08:23

1:08:23

#62: What do you get when you mix a corporate layoff, pregnancy hormones, and a dream of Italian citizenship? Nikki Maffey’s life. In this episode, Nikki drops some major news (spoiler: she’s pregnant!) and gives us a peek into her journey from working toxic corporate jobs to owning her own business. We’re talking about the terrifying reality of layoffs (three days after closing on a house?!), why everything really does work out in the end, and how becoming a mom is both exciting and scary as hell. Plus, we bond over our shared fears of birth (hello, The Birth Hour Podcast ), chat about Nikki’s maternity leave plans, and dive into how she’s navigating the big identity shift that comes with motherhood. And don’t worry, we still keep it light with rapid-fire questions like her least favorite design trend and a hilarious round of F ck, Marry, Kill* featuring ClickUp, Dubsado, and Showit. Whether you’re a business owner, a soon-to-be mom, or just love a good life pivot story, this episode is packed with real talks and inspo from a woman who has been there and is DOING that.

Sobriety, Catfishing & the Chat Roulette Era: A Chaotic Reunion ft. Jessica Hawks 1:31:57

hace 6 weeks1:31:57

1:31:57

#61: Remember when I said I failed Dry January in 48 hours? Well, plot twist—I'm now 13 days alcohol-free and feeling weird about admitting that on the internet. But you know what's even weirder? Having Jessica Hawks back on the pod to talk about everything from sobriety to getting catfished. Jess is back since her first appearance in 2022, and we're getting chaotic with: → The real talk about stepping away from alcohol (and why it's not about going sober forever) → Sharing trauma on business platforms without losing your authority → That time she got catfished by someone managing THREE different personalities (Chat Roulette veterans, where you at?) → Why being self-aware might just save you from turning into your parents (therapy helps too) Plus, we're getting unhinged with rapid-fire questions, unnecessary home decor purchases (hello, Danny McBride look-alike Mozart statue), and why the "very demure" trend can absolutely go in the trash. If you love Jess or just enjoy listening to two business owners go off the rails talking about everything but business, this episode is your jam. PS: Whether you're crushing your New Year's goals or just trying to remember how to make meatballs for the 100th time (ChatGPT knows my struggle), this conversation proves success doesn't mean having your shit together 24/7.

If It’s Not a F*ck Yes, It’s a No 50:50

hace 7 weeks50:50

50:50

#60: So here’s the deal—I took a 17-day hiatus thinking it would be no big deal, but plot twist: it changed everything . In this episode, I’m getting real about shiny distractions (hi, Pilates studio co-ownership), saying no to things that aren’t aligned, and why your business shouldn’t fall apart just because you step away. Spoiler: if it does, you’re doing it wrong. Remember when I said 2024 was the year of life over deadlines? Yeah, it also taught me that we don’t need to reinvent the wheel every damn year. I’m sharing why refining what you’re already doing (even if it’s boring AF) is the real key to long-term success. Plus, let’s talk about those shiny opportunities we say yes to when we know they’re just a distraction—and how to get clear as hell on what you actually want to build. Oh, and my half marathon? Iconic. Not because I’m a runner now, but because committing to hard things builds confidence like nothing else. If you’ve been overcomplicating your goals, avoiding the unsexy work, or saying yes when you should be saying “f*ck no,” this episode is for you. Is video more your thing?

#57: Would I even be me if I didn’t go through motherhood with a mix of laughs, tears, and waaaay too many Cane's chicken tenders? In this episode, I’m sharing a real and raw look at my journey from pregnancy to postpartum to current-day parenthood, where nothing went quite like I expected. We talk about why antidepressants weren’t my thing, how switching to formula saved my sanity, and what it’s like navigating your 30s while figuring out this whole womanhood (and motherhood) thing—mess and all. Oh, and let’s not forget: I’ll give you the lowdown on launching my new Pilates studio, House of Core, plus the Amazon finds (hello, back massager and cervical pillow) keeping me from falling apart. We’ll also talk about the bittersweet reality of those first 12 years with your kids—you know, the ones you wish you could freeze forever. And yeah, I’m diving into my very complicated (and kinda terrifying) thoughts about having another baby. Spoiler alert: It’s a mix of "heck no" and "maybe just one more..."
