    Romantasy & Beyond: Reads Off the Shelf!

    In this episode, I’m diving into my 2026 TBR shelf and sharing the books I’m ridiculously excited to read this year. From fantasy and romantasy to comfort reads and wild-card picks, I chat about what’s on my list, why these stories are calling to me, and the reading vibes I’m hoping to lean into in 2026. Consider this your sign to romanticize your TBR and add way too many books to it—no regrets.

    Let's Play Bingo!

    In this episode, I’m sharing something a little unhinged but very on-brand: I made 2026 bingo cards for myself. Instead of rigid goals, I turned the year into a game—filled with adventures, cozy moments, horse things, bookish fun, and a few wild squares just to keep life interesting. I chat through what’s on my cards, why I love this approach to goal-setting, and how I’m using bingo as a low-pressure way to romanticize the year ahead.

    Hello 2026 & Core Memory Books!

    In this episode, I’m revisiting the books that have stayed with me from childhood all the way into adulthood—the stories that became core memories. These are the books that allowed me to dream, find something special, and they're stories that found me at exactly the right time in my life. From early favorites to the novels that struck all the feels, this episode is part nostalgia, part reflection, and a love letter to the stories that quietly grow up with, and stay us.

    Film & TV Core Memories

    In this episode, I take a little trip down memory lane and talk about the movies and shows that shaped me growing up—the ones that stuck, shaped how I see the world, and still live rent-free in my head. From comfort rewatches to stories that taught me big lessons, these are the ones I can’t wait to share with my daughter someday. It’s part nostalgia, part reflection, and a little love letter to the stories that raised us.

    A Journey of Horses

    In this episode, I’m opening up about my horse journey—the highs, the heartbreaks, and all the pivots in between. I talk about several horses I've hopes for over the years, each one tied to a dream that didn’t quite go as planned. Some chapters ended suddenly, some slowly, and most for reasons I wouldn’t have chosen. But through all of it, I’ve learned how to adapt, rebuild, and keep finding joy in the process. It’s a little raw, a little reflective, and definitely straight from the heart for anyone who’s ever had to rewrite the story they thought they were living.

    To Welcome Babies!

    In this episode, I’m chatting about what to actually pack for the hospital—what I used, what I didn’t, and what I loved having. I also get into some baby shower and gift ideas that go beyond the typical registry stuff—things that are thoughtful, practical, or just plain fun for new moms and babies. It’s part real talk, part “learn from my experience,” and totally laid-back—like a chat between friends swapping tips before the big day.
