In this solo episode, I take you on a late-night, unfiltered journey of change, courage, & choosing myself—even when it’s hard.
I recorded this one from my car after going to an open mic alone for the first time in almost seven years. I’m eating Taco Bell, hitting my vape pen, & reflecting on everything that’s shifted in my life—divorce, motherhood, personal evolution, & the messy but real work of showing up for myself.
This episode is me being honest about what it looks like to step into my own power while navigating uncertainty.
I talk about showing up alone as a newly single woman & performing at an open mic, even when the room was almost empty. It was nerve-wracking, but liberating. That night reminded me that finding your voice often means being uncomfortable—& leaning into it anyway.
I share what life looks like right now—living with my mom & my kids, helping my family while my mom’s husband battles cancer, & juggling all the responsibilities that come with being a mom, daughter, & someone trying to rebuild her own life. It’s hard, but it’s also shown me how resilient I am.
I open up about my mental health journey, including therapy, medication, & learning how to prioritize myself while living with bipolar disorder & anxiety. Healing isn’t linear, & I want to normalize that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
I talk about reducing my dependency on substances, including cannabis, as part of my personal evolution. These changes didn’t come from shame—they came from self-awareness & a desire to show up fully for myself & my kids.
I also touch on my soon-to-be ex-husband & why love alone wasn’t enough to sustain our marriage. Choosing my mental health & well-being over expectations wasn’t easy, but it was necessary. I hope it encourages you to examine your relationships honestly, too.
I share a sweet moment with my kids eating Lunchables in our camper. It’s simple, but it felt grounding & joyful—a reminder that stability & happiness aren’t about perfection; they’re about presence, care, & creating safe spaces for the people we love.
From this episode, I hope you take away that:
If you’re navigating change, redefining yourself, or learning how to show up fully, this episode is for you.
