    Jul 3 2025

    6 Hard Truths I Wish I Knew in My 20s — from burnout and career pressure to wellness, identity, and finding real fulfillment.

    If you're in your 20s and feeling lost, burnt out, or like you're doing everything “right” but still not happy — this episode is for you. I’m sharing the six life lessons I wish someone told me earlier. These truths go beyond surface-level advice and dive into career burnout, mental health, risk-taking, self-discovery, and what it actually means to build a life you love.

    Whether you're navigating your 20s or reflecting back, this episode will give you clarity, validation, and a much-needed mindset shift.

    ✨ You’re not behind. You’re not broken. You’re just getting started.

    P.S. If you're trying to eat healthier without giving up bread, you need to try ⁠Royo⁠. Their breads and bagels are low carb, high protein, and made with clean, good-for-you ingredients. I’m obsessed with the Everything Bagels — just 80 calories and 10g of protein, and they taste amazing.

  • Why Motivation Fails (And Discipline Wins Every Time)
    Jun 26 2025

    We’ve all waited for motivation to strike before making a change—whether it’s starting a workout routine, eating healthier, or tackling a personal goal. But here’s the truth: motivation is unreliable. It comes and goes, often when we need it most.

    In this episode, I’m breaking down why motivation fails us and how building discipline is the real key to staying consistent—especially on the days when you’re tired, busy, or just not feeling it. I’ll share mindset shifts, personal examples, and practical tips to help you show up for yourself—even when motivation is nowhere to be found.

    If you’ve ever felt stuck, frustrated, or like you’re constantly starting over—this one’s for you.
