  • UPDATED WEEKLY

Welcome to Becoming Sunshine—the podcast where real talk meets self-evolution. This isn’t about being your highest self 24/7 or pretending healing is always pretty. It’s about learning through lived experience—friendships, heartbreaks, glow-ups, setbacks, boundaries, and everything in between.  Each week, I share unfiltered stories, honest lessons, and the moments that cracked me open and helped me grow. We’ll talk love, self-worth, emotional intelligence, leveling up, and becoming the version of you that you actually like. This is soft wellness for the girls (and guys) who meditate and take thirst traps. Who know self-love sometimes means setting boundaries, sometimes means getting your nails done, and sometimes means walking away. You don’t have to be perfect to be powerful. You just have to be real.

    24. ADHD Didn't Ruin My Life - Not Understanding It Did

    Get in Touch! Message Me Here! ADHD Didn’t Ruin My Life — Not Understanding It Did In this episode, I’m opening up about something deeply personal that I’m still actively learning and integrating: my late diagnosis with ADHD and the clarity, grief, and healing that came with finally understanding how my brain works. For most of my life, I thought something was wrong with me, that I was lazy, inconsistent, emotional, overwhelmed, or just not living up to my potential. I constantly felt like I was falling behind, struggling with things that seemed easy for everyone else, and masking internal chaos that no one could see. But discovering that I’m neurodivergent helped everything click into place, and for the first time in my life, I feel compassion for myself instead of shame. I’m sharing my real experience with: ✨ Internal chaos and time blindness ✨ Hyperfixation, rumination, and emotional overwhelm ✨ Rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD) & attachment patterns ✨ Masking, perfectionism, and people pleasing ✨ Eating the same foods, routines, and sensory needs ✨ Meditation, nervous system regulation, & healing my autoimmune disease ✨ How ADHD shaped my relationships, self-worth, and identity ✨ Why understanding yourself changes everything And most importantly: How ADHD became my superpower instead of something that held me back. If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, overwhelmed, “too much,” or like you’re not reaching your potential, you are not broken. You are not lazy. Your brain is simply wired differently, and once you have the tools and support you deserve, you become unstoppable. 💛 If this episode resonates, please share it with someone who needs to hear it. 💛 Message me on Instagram, I’d love to hear your story and build community around this.

    Get in Touch! Message Me Here! Trauma Bond or True Love? How to Tell the Difference Ever mistaken chaos for chemistry? You’re not alone. In this week’s episode, we dive deep into attachment styles, trauma bonds, and why so many of us confuse emotional intensity with real love.

    20. What the Club Taught Me About Men (That Most Women Never Learn)

    Get in Touch! Message Me Here! In this episode of Becoming Sunshine, I’m opening up about the five biggest lessons the club taught me about men, and how those lessons completely changed the way I view dating, relationships, and feminine energy. After a decade of observing men in their most unfiltered moments, I realized the club isn’t just about money or nightlife, it’s a crash course in human behavior, boundaries, and self-worth. I break down what I’ve learned about how men categorize women, how they spend (and what that really says about them), why they chase feelings more than people, how they test boundaries, and why even the most confident men still want to feel chosen. Whether you’ve worked in nightlife or not, these insights will help you understand men on a deeper level, set stronger standards, and show up in your feminine energy with confidence, ease, and power. ✨ Topics covered: Why men treat different women differently — and how you can shift their perceptionHow a man’s spending reveals his priorities, values, and insecuritiesThe secret to becoming unforgettable (it’s about how you make him feel)How to set boundaries that command respectWhy the most high-value men want to feel chosen too🎙️ This episode marks a new era of Becoming Sunshine — shorter, deeper, and straight to the point. Think big-sister energy, real-life wisdom, and soft-girl confidence. 00:31 Lessons from the Club: Real-Life Dynamics 01:36 Understanding Men's Treatment of Women 04:44 Men's Spending Habits Reveal Their True Selves 07:11 The Power of Making Men Feel Valued 09:37 Setting Boundaries with Men 12:17 Men Want to Feel Chosen Too 14:51 Conclusion and Future Episodes ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Did you enjoy this episode?

    19. You Don’t Need More Time to Heal — You Need New Experiences

    Get in Touch! Message Me Here! You don’t always need more time to heal — sometimes you just need new experiences. In this episode, I talk about slowing down, reconnecting with my feminine energy, and how the biggest breakthroughs often happen when you stop forcing and start receiving. I share what I’ve learned over the past month — taking a step back, meeting someone new, and realizing that healing doesn’t always come from isolation. Sometimes it comes from letting life show you a new reality. If you’ve been feeling burnt out, disconnected, or like you’re constantly in your “go, go, go” era, this episode is your reminder that rest is productive. Alignment, creativity, and love flow naturally when you trust divine timing and allow yourself to soften. 00:26 Personal Growth and Realignment 01:02 Embracing Feminine Energy and Creativity 01:48 New Experiences and Healing 04:06 Shifting Relationships and Inner Circle 07:04 Insights on Men and Relationships 09:05 New Direction and Future Plans 11:42 Conclusion and Final Thoughts ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Did you enjoy this episode?

    18. 15 Things I Wish I Knew About Men in My 20s

    Get in Touch! Message Me Here! In this episode, I’m sharing the hard truths and healing lessons I wish someone had told me in my twenties. From understanding male psychology to breaking trauma bonds and reclaiming my power, these are the mindset shifts that changed the way I date, love, and value myself. We’re talking love vs. attachment, why men bond through investment (not emotion), how boundaries create desire, and what it really means to be the prize. If you’ve ever lost yourself in a situationship, tolerated breadcrumbs, or confused chaos for chemistry—this one’s for you. This episode is raw, honest, and straight from the heart. I hope it gives you clarity, comfort, and the courage to stop settling.
