    🎙️Female Friendships: Why Do Adult Friendships Feel So Hard? (And What's Actually Going On)

    🎧 About the Episode:  I asked you one question on Instagram this week: what do you struggle with in adult friendships?  ..and the DMs didn't stop coming.  In this listener-led episode, I'm reading your messages verbatim, getting vulnerable about where I'm at in my own friendships (messy, honest, & right in the middle of it with you), and unpacking the four truths about adult female friendships that keep coming up in my own life and I know in yours too. This one isn't meant to fix anything. It's meant to come right alongside you in the struggle that you're in. We’re having the conversation so many women are thinking about, but rarely saying out loud: adult friendships can feel really hard. After hearing from so many of you, one thing became clear: you’re not alone in feeling disconnected, overlooked, or like friendships just don’t feel the way they used to. Between busy schedules, different life stages, emotional burnout, and shifting priorities, maintaining meaningful connection can feel more complicated than ever. We talk about why friendships often change as we grow, what it means to outgrow certain relationships, and the quiet loneliness that can exist even when you do have people around you. From one-sided effort to surface-level connection, to the desire for deeper, more authentic relationships - this episode is about naming what so many of us are experiencing. If this episode finds you in a soft spot, you're not alone. Send me a DM @behindthecusp or @stylecusp and tell me which part hit the hardest. Your responses are already shaping Part 2. 🎙️ Connect with me: Instagram: @stylecusp @behindthecusp Tiktok: @stylecusp @behindthecusp Subscribe, rate, and share the show if you feel aligned. These all go such a long way in supporting the show!

    🎙️Reclaiming Your Feminine Energy: How to Let Go of Hustle, Control & Burnout to Live in Flow with Ele De Posson

    🎧 About the Episode:  In this deeply transformative episode of Behind the Cusp, I’m joined by spiritual mentor, author, and founder of the Sacred Roots Mystery School, Ele De Posson - someone who has played an integral role in my own healing and awakening journey over the past few years.  Together, we explore the true essence of feminine energy: what it is, how it lives within us, and what it looks like to embody it in a world that constantly pulls us into doing, striving, and over-functioning. This conversation is both grounding and expansive, offering a real-life, approachable introduction to the feminine for anyone who feels disconnected, burnt out, or ready to return to themselves. We talk about the difference between feminine and masculine energy, how to recognize imbalance, and what it means to move from the wounded feminine into the sacred feminine. Ele shares powerful insights on intuition, surrender, receiving, and living in alignment, as well as how these energies shape our relationships, our work, and the way we move through life. This episode is an invitation to slow down, soften, and reconnect with your body, your truth, and your inner knowing. Listen slowly.  Let it land.  And allow yourself to remember who you truly are.

    🎙️How I Built My Career From Scratch: The 16-Year Journey from College Blog to Full-Time Content Creator

    🎧 About the Episode: On a snowy night in February 2010, I started a blog in my college apartment with no plan, no audience, and no idea it would one day become my career. Sixteen years later, that small decision has shaped every aspect of my life. In this episode, I’m sharing the full journey that's never been told: from working commission retail at Nordstrom and taking two-hour train rides into NYC for jobs i never got, to navigating a debilitating back injury at 23, living with my grandparents while building my business, launching Style Cusp full time, scaling multiple income streams, and evolving through the many seasons of entrepreneurship.. This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s the long game. A story about the leaps, the pivots, the quiet discipline behind the scenes. If you’ve ever wondered how someone “builds a life like that,” this episode is your reminder that most success isn’t overnight. It’s a layered process over years of risk, resilience, and hard work. Style Cusp isn’t just a brand. It’s the timeline of my becoming. And if you’re in the middle of building something of your own, I hope this gives you permission to be willing to trust the seed you’ve planted even if you can’t see the full picture yet. 🎙️ Connect with me: Instagram: @stylecusp @behindthecusp Tiktok: @stylecusp @behindthecusp Subscribe, rate, and share the show if you feel aligned. These all go such a long way in supporting the show!

This conversation has been months in the making, and it’s one I knew I wanted to have from the very beginning of this podcast.

We dive into what it looks like to fully embrace the season you’re in, from healing and independence to dating, travel, and community. Morgan shares how she’s built deep connection with women around the world, what she’s learned through living boldly, and how she’s made a home in both California and Portugal.

It’s not about sprinting forward, it’s about re-entering your life with wisdom, intention, and love.

    🎙️ New Year, Slow Start: Why January Is Meant for Rest

    🎧 About the Episode:  January asks so much of us. New goals, new routines, a new version of ourselves.. the list goes on.  But what if this season of winter was never meant for rushing forward? In this episode, I’m reframing January as a time for rest, hibernation, and restoration. A reminder that winter is meant for slowing down, nourishing your nervous system, and reconnecting with yourself before any kind of reinvention takes place. We explore how the modern “new year, new me” mentality contradicts both nature and our own biology, and why it’s okay to opt out of the pressure to immediately "do more" or "be more". This conversation is an invitation to begin the year gently. To honor rest as productive, stillness as purposeful, and trust that clarity and momentum will come in their own time. If you’re craving a slower, more grounded start to the year, this episode is for you. 🎙️ Connect with me: Instagram: @stylecusp @behindthecusp Tiktok: @stylecusp @behindthecusp Subscribe, rate, and share the show if you feel aligned. These all go such a long way in supporting the show!

    🎙️What It Means to Live as Your Higher Self (And How to Start Today)

    🎧 About the Episode You’ve probably heard the phrase “higher self” — but what does it actually mean to live as her? In this episode, we’re going deeper than the buzzwords. I’m breaking down what your higher (or best) self really is, how to know when you’re out of alignment, and what it feels like when you’re fully living from a place of inner truth, clarity, and peace. We’ll talk about the subtle signs of disconnection, how to rebuild self-trust, and foundational tools you can use today to start showing up as the version of you who already exists — beneath the noise, the pressure, and the performance. This is your invitation to stop chasing and start remembering who you truly are. 🎙️ Connect with me: Instagram: @stylecusp @behindthecusp Tiktok: @stylecusp @behindthecusp Subscribe, rate, and share the show if you feel aligned. These all go such a long way in supporting the show!
