Episode 47: Talking All About Therapy & How it’s Changed My Life for the Better

For years, I was reluctant about going to therapy and seeing a therapist consistently. That all ended this past year when I decided that I was finally ready to work more on my mental health and pursue professional guidance. I discuss how I truly believe that the practice of therapy has gone from taboo to encouraged and supported in only a couple of decades.


In this episode, I get extra personal about my therapy journey — what finally led me to start, how I feel after a session, why it’s not always comfortable, and how it’s been one of the most transformational and positive experiences for me. From setting boundaries and breaking people-pleasing habits to unpacking family dynamics and recognizing unhelpful patterns, therapy has given me countless tools for my present and future life.

Episode 69: From Hollywood Costume Designer to Wellness Founder: Meredith Markworth-Pollack on Burnout, Healing, & Starting Over 🙏 

In this episode, I’m joined by Meredith Markworth-Pollack, founder of holistic wellness space, Palma Colectiva. Meredith spent almost two decades as a costume designer on shows like Gossip Girl, Reign, Hart of Dixie, and Dynasty. After facing major industry burnout, she decided to uproot her life, move to Santa Barbara, and start from scratch in the wellness space. 👗 

We chat about success not being enough, struggling with multiple forms of grief, and “wellness” becoming a popular buzzword. Meredith shares the ups and downs of starting and maintaining a business and how there isn’t only one “right” healing modality for someone. She shares about divorce, creating retreats for women, and how listening to herself and choosing health changed everything. 🕊️ 

Whether you are seeking clarity, community, or well-being, I believe you will benefit from this conversation that proves vulnerability really is a super power! 👏🏻
