    Follow your heart

    This one started with a plot twist I did not see coming. I sat down, meditated, and recorded what I genuinely believe was my best diary yet. An hour of pure flow. Jokes that made me laugh at myself. Insights I'd never said out loud before. And then I looked at the screen. 55 seconds. That's all that recorded. 😳 In this reflection:  ✨ Why expressing yourself authentically is never a waste, even when no one sees it  ✨ The bass drop visualization I've been getting in meditation that changed everything  ✨ What it feels like when the engine gets going and the signal starts flowing  ✨ The personality hire theory, and why being the vibe will always beat being the workhorse  ✨ How to let your heart drive your entire day, task by task. I call it heart-based living! This one went everywhere. From the depths of frustration to pure joy, play, and flow. I talked for over an hour and I genuinely have no idea what I said half the time. That's my favorite part. Drop a comment and tell me if you've ever lost something you created. I'd love to hear from you.

    How the darkest year of my life cracked me open

    I didn't plan to go here today. I sat down to meditate and a leaf blower started wailing outside my window. And somehow, that leaf blower became the gateway to the most vulnerable story I've ever told on this show. In this reflection:  ✨ The leaf blower meditation moment that created a breakthrough ✨ My dark night of the soul in 2020 and the love I lost to a mental health crisis  ✨ Why running toward agitation instead of away from it dissolves everything  ✨ The aligned abundance journaling that had me ugly crying at my desk  ✨ A guided vision of the life that is already waiting for you on the other side This episode is a transmission. I went to the darkest places I've ever been in this one and came out the other side into a vision so clear and so beautiful it made me weep. The 2020 version of me could not have imagined sitting here feeling this free. If you are in your dark night right now, this one is for you. Go deeper into it. The portal is there. Drop a comment and tell me what came up for you. I'd love to hear from you.

    I disappeared for a year and came back different

    I'm back. After nearly a year away, I sat down, meditated for 30 minutes, and recorded whatever came through, just like I always have. And wow, did a lot come through! In this reflection:  ✨ Why I disappeared and what "the forest" of inner work actually looked like  ✨ The $50K salesman story that explains the glass ceiling on my nervous system  ✨ How I healed an unhealthy relationship I was too embarrassed to even look at  ✨ Why reducing inputs is the only way to increase your outputs  ✨ How The Board Walks went from 2 cities to 14 (and where we're going!) This past year was an initiation. Deep inner work, shadow integration, forgiveness practices in the bathtub, nervous system resets. I stepped down from hosting the walks in July 2025. I went off social media entirely. I gave myself the space I'd been refusing to give myself my entire life.   And I came into 2026 like a ROCKET. The walks are now in 14 cities. The Friday Debrief newsletter has thousands of readers. The Board is being built. And I feel more like myself than I ever have. If you're in the forest right now,  keep going. This one's for you. Drop a comment and tell me where you are in your journey. I'd love to hear from you.

    I Emailed 40 People at 8pm on Saturday and Changed Everything (Walk Updates)

    Y'all, I am SO lit up right now. The momentum around bringing The Board Walks to more cities has been absolutely insane, and I had to catch you up on everything that's happened since I sent those 40 emails at 8pm on a Saturday night. In this episode, I'm sharing all the juicy updates from my host interviews and the cities that are about to launch - including some wild synchronicities that have me completely shook. Here's what we're diving into: ✨✨ Why seeing other people do "inspired by" walk events lit a fire under me to move faster ✨ How frustration became my biggest motivator (and why that's actually genius) ✨ The dad of five boys in Denver who reminded me I'm building something truly special ✨ The lawyer in Virginia Beach who had me talking for an hour instead of 20 minutes ✨ The NYC energy that has me getting 10-15 applications from one city alone ✨ The Lisbon host who's already hosted MORE walks than me (200+!) I'm also getting vulnerable about the weird competitive feelings I had when people started copying my format, how Cam's advice about being "fully expressed" changed my perspective, and why I'm basically assembling The Avengers of walk hosts. If you're someone who gets frustrated seeing others do what you wish you were doing, this episode will give you the kick in the pants you need to get moving on your own mission. Listen if you're ready to turn your frustration into fuel and finally stop dragging your feet on the thing you know you're meant to do. Find this episode ⁠⁠⁠⁠on ⁠⁠all podcast platforms⁠⁠.

    Why I'm Stepping Down from Hosting The Walk After 3 Years (The Real Reason)

    This one's heavy, y'all. After three years of hosting The Board Walks every Saturday at 8am, I'm stepping down as the Austin host - and I need to tell you why. I'm getting completely vulnerable about the identity shift that's happening as The Walks have grown from word-of-mouth to viral posts that bring in hundreds of newsletter subscribers and dozens of host applications every time I share. Here's what we're diving into: ✨How my growing online presence started affecting the energy of the walks ✨Why 5-10 people every week were coming specifically to get free access to me (instead of for the conversations) ✨The moment I realized I was becoming "poison" to my own event ✨How setting loving boundaries backfired and created chaos in the group ✨The bittersweet reality of working ON the business vs. IN the business I'm also sharing the identity death that comes with letting go of being "The Walk Girl" after 15,000 people have attended over three years, and why this transition is necessary for the mission to go global. If you've ever had to step back from something you created to let it grow bigger than you, this one will hit deep. Sometimes loving something means knowing when to let it evolve beyond you. Listen if you're navigating your own growing pains or wondering how to scale something you're passionate about without losing its soul. Find this episode ⁠⁠⁠⁠on ⁠⁠all podcast platforms⁠⁠.

    Why I Followed Random Nudges and Everything Changed (My $10K Investment Story)

    This week has been absolutely wild, and I had to share what happened when I started actually listening to those quiet little voices in my head. You know those random nudges you get? The ones that tell you to reach out to someone, try something new, or invest in yourself even when it doesn't make logical sense? I've been following them religiously lately, and the synchronicities that followed have me completely shook. Here's what we're diving into: ✨ ​How I recorded a vulnerable diary about two business offers... and then the universe started confirming my path ✨ ​The exact moment multiple people reached out about the SAME thing I was considering ✨ Why I dropped serious money on a mastermind within minutes of seeing it (despite lifelong money blocks) ✨ How following one nudge led to a cascade of magical confirmations ✨ ​The pattern I've noticed between trusting intuition and having opportunities show up I'm also getting real about growing up with scarcity mindset parents who picked pennies off the floor, and how I've been breaking those patterns by investing in myself this year. If you're someone who gets those little nudges but talks yourself out of following them, this one's for you. The universe has a funny way of confirming when you're on the right path - but only if you're brave enough to take the first step. Listen if you're ready to stop overthinking and start trusting the whispers that are trying to guide you somewhere magical. Find this episode ⁠⁠⁠⁠on ⁠⁠all podcast platforms⁠⁠.

    What would you scream at yourself? The TV Show Test that changes everything

    Ever feel like you're watching your own life unfold like a TV show? Because that's exactly what I want us to dive into today. My DMs have been absolutely flooded since I released the breakup episode - people are going through major relationship shake-ups and it's got me thinking... we're in a collective switch up right now, and I want us all to lean into it. Here's what I'm challenging you (and myself) to do: Look at your life like you're watching a TV show. You're the main character, and you're sitting there as the audience member. What would you be screaming at the TV about? What would you be like "OH MY GOD, why doesn't she just DO this thing?!" I'm putting myself in the hot seat first. There are three things I would be absolutely blue in the face screaming at myself to change: 1. Start showing my face more on social media (yes, even though I'm a total cave woman who loves hiding behind the scenes)2. Actually talk about what I sell instead of being all mysterious about my offers like it's some "if you know, you know" situation3. Learn to receive help and strengthen what I call my "receiving muscle" I'm sharing my whole journey - from being that girl who submitted everything at 11:59pm in college to now being three episodes ahead (my mom would be SHOOK). I also dive into this fascinating concept I discovered about inward vs outward gazes (think Marilyn Monroe vs Michelle Obama energy) and how I'm experimenting with shifting my whole approach to giving and receiving. This episode is me getting real about why I'm ready to move from pure giving into a season of receiving, and how that shift is going to help other women do the same. If you're feeling called to make changes but don't know where to start, this episode will give you that clarity and courage to take the first baby step. I end with exactly how you can support the show if this resonates with you - because honestly, word-of-mouth is everything for podcast growth and I'm learning to actually ASK for help instead of just giving all the time. What would YOU be screaming at your main character to do? DM me - I love hearing from you! Find this episode ⁠⁠⁠⁠on ⁠all podcast platforms⁠.
