    Nuggets From A Broken Heart-How To Manage Heartbreaks

    Break ups can be messy and not knowing how to navigate them even messier. But I tried my best to offer a roadmap of things to do to cushion the effect so you don’t have to spiral into depression or sabotage. They might be 7,8, or 9 but who is counting right? I hope it helps. Let me know.

    You’re Not An Option

    Ever seen that popular take about how a "friendship green flag" is being able to go months without talking and picking up right where you left off? In this episode, I challenge that oversimplified view of what makes a good friend.

    When Friendships Become a Burden

    What happens when friendship starts to feel like work? In this episode, we talk about the weight of one-sided connections — when you’re always the listener, the fixer, the one who shows up even when you’re running on empty. It’s about the guilt of pulling away, and learning that setting boundaries doesn’t make you a bad friend. Sometimes, it just means you’ve finally chosen yourself.

    Changing How We Connect

    Some people say they don’t like calls. Others say they don’t like texts. But does that mean it’s just “who they are”? In this episode, I explore why we shouldn’t treat these preferences as fixed traits or personal flaws. Instead, I look at how communication is part of growth, connection, and personal development. Whether you lean towards calls or texts, this conversation challenges you to embrace change, stretch beyond your comfort zone, and recognize that improving how we connect is part of becoming better versions of ourselves.

    Are You Losing Everyone Else for ‘The One’. The Tunnel-Vision Trap

    In this episode, I share my thoughts on monogamy—not just as a relationship structure, but as a mindset that often causes people to unintentionally abandon their other relationships. I’ve noticed how easy it is for people to disappear into their romantic worlds, cutting off family, friends, and community in the name of love. But monogamy was never meant to mean one person for everything—just one person for life. I explore why expecting your partner to be your everything isn’t romantic; it’s unrealistic—and sometimes even harmful.

    Before The Ring

    In this episode, I talk about agency—the kind that lets women truly own their choices. From finances to future plans, I unpack why it’s so important for women to build stability and follow their dreams before tying the knot. This isn’t a men-bashing session—far from it. It’s a reminder that love should support and not swallow your ambitions. Whether you’re single, dating, or already married, this episode is a gentle nudge to ask yourself: “Am I living my dream, or just fitting into someone else’s?” Tune in for an honest, thoughtful conversation—with just the right dose of lightness.

    Why Having A Best Friend Might Be A Bad Idea

    It’s a common thing to say, that “this is my best friend”. But how does this age long nomenclature have the tendency to ruin other relationships?
