    Turning 30, Getting Engaged & Creating Without a Timeline

    After a long hiatus (blame the microphone cords), Cageless is back! And a lot has changed. I am officially 30, newly engaged, and planning two weddings across two continents. In this honest episode, I share the story behind my surprise East Texas proposal, what intercultural love has taught me about myself, and why I'm finally giving my younger creative dreams a second wind. This episode explores creativity without a timeline, the loneliness of creating in isolation, and why the most important moments in life are rarely the ones you planned for. Plus: Saint Teresa of Avila, the cultural gap between French and American communication, and why your twenties are your primer, not your prime. ;) Cageless is a podcast about creativity, personal growth, and living life outside the box.

    Dating in France vs. America

    In this episode, I’m answering your questions and reflecting on what it’s really like to date /make friends in France vs. America. Think less “Emily in Paris,” and more (almost too chill) French nuances. I’m also talking about dealing with the language barrier in relationships, Texas Hunting Wives and the 50-50 rule.

    Getting a 4-Year France Visa (and Finding Myself in the Process)

    I just got approved for my 4-year visa in France, and it hit me how much this place has shaped me. In this episode, I talk about French bureaucracy, living far from home, and growing older in a city that once felt like a dream and now feels like real life. If you’re navigating your twenties, thinking about moving abroad, or just craving a slower, deeper way of living—this one's for you. I share thoughts on identity, courage, loneliness, and what it means to create a life you actually want in a country like France.
