Episode 51: Talk Good (Not Bad) About Someone: Share Kind Thoughts

We all know the weight of words—how they can lift someone up or drag them down. In this episode, I flip the usual advice of “don’t talk badly about someone” and instead focus on why we should speak about others…kindly. Whether it’s behind their back or (preferably) to their face, we should try to share more of our positive thoughts and compliments.  

I share personal stories of moments when a simple compliment or comment seemingly shifted someone’s day (and/or confidence), and how being intentional about spreading kindness can create real change. We never truly know what others are going through, and, sometimes, the smallest words of encouragement can make the biggest difference.

Vision boarded too hard and then got nervous about Vision boarded too hard and then got nervous about speaking in front of 100 people lol. 😅

What an honor to speak to students at the @sbplibrary as a panelist for @jlsantabarbara’s Career Exploration Fair. 👏🏻 

I wish I would’ve attended an event like this when I was in high school! Very impressed by the students’ thoughtful questions as well. 💓

Do you believe in vision boards? I try to make one every year now! 🎉

The dreamiest date night spot: @sanysidroranch 💞 The dreamiest date night spot: @sanysidroranch 💞

What a fun night sipping cocktails, eating delicious bites, and listening to live music at The Speakeasy. Great news for my locals, longtime menu favorites like the mac & cheese and baby back ribs are on the menu too! 👏🏻 

Can you believe how beautiful and charming this spot is? Also, no, I’m not over those desserts. 😍
