79. How to shoot your shot, date with confidence, & attract only those meant for you
How do we shield our self-worth from rejections? Can girls ask guys out? Is attraction subjective? How do we stop taking things personally?
"Just shoot your shot!" they say, but we know it's never just that easy — you need a mindset of steel to chase romantic pursuits without shame. In this episode, let's talk about that mindset.
Alison is the QUEEN of unshakeable confidence in "shooting her shot" and radiating authenticity in every interaction. Tune in for big sister advice on asking people out, the nuances of attraction, reframing rejection, the value of communication and honesty, and finally, how to DATE with confidence so you don't live at the crutch of "what if"s.
This is a conversation I know I NEEDED. I hope it gives you that extra boost to take the romantic risk, for it just might change your life.

78. Six lessons on adult friendships: how to invest in lasting connections while protecting your peace
Did you know that the single most IMPORTANT indicator of lasting health and happiness in a given person's life is the quality of their connections? In other words, even in the midst of our busy adult lives, do NOT de-prioritize your pals!
Since my previous friendships episode in Dec 2021 (ep 51), I've experienced two more years of new friendship lessons, some being harsher truths — specifically, SIX key lessons on the topics of growing apart, setting boundaries, making friends, lasting connections, and my personal tips to resist the loneliness epidemic.
If you find it tough to make friends, keep friends, communicate boundaries, get triggered easily, or feel a general sense of confusion about friendships as an ADULT, this episode's for you. It's tough love style (as my solo talks always are), and I hope it brings a morsel of epiphanies, reflection, and the final nudge to check in on a friend today. :)

77. How to TRULY love & embody your authentic self: body image, self-concept, fearlessness, & more
How does one TRULY embody their authentic selves and love themselves from the inside-out?! Surprise, it's the opposite of fluffy sunshines and rainbows — let's talk body dysmorphia, eating disorders, breakups, haters, and calorie obsessions, just a few of several culprits that dragged Alison and I through the pits of low self-worth to come out stronger on the other side.
When did we start deciding we no longer liked ourselves, and how did that perception shape the things we eat, people we date, what we post, and who we see in the mirror? But most importantly, what are the mindsets and beliefs that brought us to where we are now — living in alignment with who we truly are? Tune in for a raw, lowkey spiritual convo that'll leave you with more epiphanies than one.

Ladies, this one's for you. Karen and I are back for some dating tough love — to get you out of that situationship, redefine your dating standards, and of course, protect your precious temple of a body.
