Episode 6: Travel Takeaways and Tips

Today we are talking all about one of my favorite hobbies: travel!


Recently, my husband, Patrick, and I traveled to Canada (Vancouver and Whistler). After a summer spent at home in Santa Barbara, this was the first true vacation (and international trip) that we have taken in a while. As we all know, travel comes with its highs and lows and successes and headaches. I’ve been reflecting on our trip, and I wanted to share some tips and observations about traveling with you all (some more serious than others):


• Change is constant
• Casual clothing at the airport
• Trusty reusable water bottles  
• TSA PreCheck and Global Entry for the win
• The unfasten-seatbelts ding moment
• Airport hotels really are convenient
• Why we usually don’t rent a car
• Make plans, but also, don’t
• Chat with the locals
• The souvenir that I always buy

I hope that this episode will be useful for your future travels! As always, if you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, share, or leave a star rating and review. You can always reach me by email or send me a DM too. Thank you!

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). 👏🏻
