Episode 27: How to increase your happiness

Why does it feel so hard to be happy sometimes? You may have wondered about happiness, and if it’s possible to become a happier person. I’m here to tell you that there are lots of ways to build your happiness (many simpler and easier than you could ever imagine). While some factors are out of your control, you can influence about 40% of your own happiness.


Turns out, we usually look for happiness in the wrong places and incorrectly assume what will bring us lasting fulfillment and joy. In this episode, I discuss the #1 predictor of happiness (it’s probably not what you think). Listen in while I dive into tips and tricks for improving and maintaining your happiness and creating a happier life!

Episode 57: Feeling Behind in Life? Here’s the Truth You Need to Hear 🥰

If you’ve ever felt like you’re falling behind, whether it’s in your career, your relationships, your finances, or just life in general, this episode is for you. (Also, trust me, we’ve all been there.) 😅

In today’s episode, I’m unpacking the pressures to keep up, the myth of “being behind,” and the sneaky trap of comparison. We chat about focusing on what you actually want to achieve (not your friends, parents, or society) and the reminder that life’s successes and failures are not linear. I get candid about how these feelings have shown up in my own life, from weddings and babies to career pivots and personal growth, and why it’s beautiful that we all bloom at our own pace. 🌼 

I also share a lovely mantra that I discovered that reframes the idea of “falling behind” and instead helps you fall into your own life. 💓

Cowboy Carter and Queen @beyonce 🤠 My voice i Cowboy Carter and Queen @beyonce 🤠 

My voice is still half gone and I’m moving slowly today lol. What an incredible show. I’m always left in awe. 🤯

Have you seen Beyoncé live? It’s so fun to watch her daughter, Blue Ivy, perform too. She’s already so talented (not shocking lol). 👏🏻
