    you want to build more CONFIDENCE

    In this empowering episode, we dive deep into the world of self-confidence and reveal that it's so much more than just "faking it till you make it." Together, we break down how true confidence is built on a foundation of self-acceptance and authenticity, not perfection or external validation. Expect an honest conversation about how societal pressures and media often distort our ideas of what confidence should look like—and why embracing your insecurities is key to discovering your real inner strength. We also shed light on how limiting beliefs can hold you back, and how crucial it is to have a strong support system as you work through them. Key Takeaways: Confidence is a journey, not a destination. True self-confidence comes from owning your abilities, not from being perfect. Embracing insecurities is a powerful step toward feeling genuinely confident. Media and society often give us a false picture of what confidence should be. Confidence starts within—it's about how you see yourself, not how others see you. Limiting beliefs can block your path to confidence, but you can overcome them. Support systems are essential to help you navigate insecurities and self-doubt. The journey to self-acceptance is the foundation of lasting confidence. You are worthy of feeling confident, just as you are! Join us for an uplifting and eye-opening discussion on building the confidence you truly deserve.

    you're struggling with perfectionism

    In this episode, we dive deep into the roots of perfectionism, how it often stems from childhood experiences and the pressures we all face in today’s world.  For many, perfectionism is more than just striving for excellence—it's a coping mechanism, a way to maintain control and protect our self-worth.   But as we discuss, there's so much power in understanding where this need comes from, so we can start practicing self-compassion instead.  We talk about how inner child work can help you unravel those old patterns and find balance when perfectionist tendencies take over. Kelsey also opens up about her own healing journey, sharing how self-acceptance and giving yourself what you truly need can be the game-changer you’ve been searching for.  If you’ve ever struggled with perfectionism or know someone who has, this episode is full of practical advice, personal insights, and gentle reminders that we’re all a work in progress—and that’s perfectly okay.

    your biological clock is TICKING - am I falling behind?

    Ever find yourself panicking about ticking biological clocks, societal expectations, and the feeling of falling behind in life’s milestones? You’re not alone. In this week’s episode, Kelsey and I dive deep into these pressing concerns, sharing our own experiences and insights on the journey of getting closer to 30, facing societal pressures, and navigating the complex emotions tied to aging, relationships, and career achievements.  We chat about the intense pressure to meet certain milestones by specific ages—getting married, having children, buying a house, and building that dream career. And yes, we get real about the anxiety that comes with noticing those first grey hairs and wrinkles. It's all part of the conversation about how we often feel like we’re racing against the clock.  Kelsey and I open up about our personal struggles with these pressures and the fear of not measuring up. We discuss how these societal timelines can sometimes overshadow our own desires and values. The heart of our conversation focuses on the importance of stepping back from these external expectations and doing the inner work needed to create a life that truly resonates with who we are.  We also explore the concept of "quantum leaping"—using imagination and vision to create your own timeline, one that’s less about conforming to societal standards and more about aligning with your personal goals and passions.  Our main takeaways? Self-reflection is crucial. Embrace relaxation and self-care. Most importantly, trust in your unique path and the life you’re crafting for yourself. So if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the pressure to tick off all those boxes or stressed about keeping up with a perceived timeline, this episode is for you. Join us as we talk about releasing control, focusing on the present, and finding excitement in your personal journey. Tune in, breathe easy, and let’s navigate this together.  If you've got a challenge you're facing in life and want to submit it as a question to be explored on the podcast, submit it below and we could be answering your “what to do when? question” in the next episode. https://forms.gle/7pa4hEXXrQtiGGx49

    find your intuition

    I thought my intuition was BROKEN for most of my life because I had NO "gut feel", NO "hell yes" feelings, NO super decisive, Morgan Freeman-esque voice in my head telling me what to do 😂 Turns out, my intuition was just offline as I'd spent years learning to repress it. Join Kelsey and I as we talk about the power of intuition, the myths + how to build a true, lasting connection with yours, so you can make decisions based on what YOU truly want in this life instead of living for everybody else.
