In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the messy middle of business growth — that in-between space where you’re no longer winging it, but still figuring out the next big leap. I recently sat down with Ari from ASSETS Lancaster to talk through some of the real pain points I’ve been navigating with Dweller, my staging and design company — hiring, outsourcing, investing back into the business, and dreaming up bigger-picture goals like B Corp certification, sustainability, and community impact.

This conversation was a game-changer, and I’m sharing all the takeaways with you: how to move through the overwhelm, when to refine, and when it’s time to take off.

Plus, if you’ve ever wondered how you can work with Dweller — whether it’s staging a property, designing your home or business, or through e-design — I’ve got you covered.

This is a behind-the-scenes episode you don’t want to miss.

In this episode of Homebody — The Podcast, I’m pulling back the curtain on:
✨ The heart behind the Unraveled cover design
✨ Why the book’s release date shifted from this summer to this fall
✨ How I’m navigating the fear of being silenced while telling my story
✨ And a powerful reading from the chapter “Finally, Some Damn Clarity”

If you’ve ever felt silenced, underestimated, or like you had to rebuild your life from scratch, this episode is for you.

This pregnancy has been so different than my first. Harder physically. Heavier emotionally. And let’s be honest — running a staging company, selling real estate, and chasing around a four-year-old while pregnant hits different.

In this episode, I’m sharing what this season has looked like for me — the real, unfiltered version. From navigating pregnancy with ADHD (without medication), to preparing my businesses for maternity leave, and learning to actually let go of control… it’s been a ride. I’m also sharing a few tips that have helped me manage ADHD during pregnancy, for anyone else who might be in a similar place.

And at the end, I’m giving you a little sneak peek into my upcoming book Unraveled — all about toxic relationships, entrepreneurship, and the messy, beautiful process of reclaiming your self-worth. It’s coming out this fall, and early access + behind-the-scenes content is now officially open!

In this episode, I’m talking about one of the hardest but most healing parts of my journey: letting go of the past version of me who settled.
The one who kept the peace at her own expense.
The one who made herself smaller to feel safe.
The one who thought love, success, and stability required her to abandon herself.

She got me here — but she’s not coming with me.

I share how writing this book became an act of releasing her, grieving her, and honoring her… without staying her.
Because real growth isn’t just about learning something new — it’s about being willing to outgrow who you used to be.

If you’re in a season of shedding, shifting, or standing at the edge of who you were and who you’re becoming — this one’s for you.

This week, I’m sharing the truth about the patterns I didn’t recognize — the ones that quietly shaped how I moved through love, business, and life.
Patterns of overgiving. Over-explaining. Over-functioning.
Patterns of abandoning myself to avoid conflict, stay liked, or keep someone else comfortable.

In this episode, I talk about how these patterns nearly broke me — and how writing this book helped me finally see them for what they were: survival tactics that were no longer serving me.
I also read an excerpt from one of the chapters where I unpack a cycle I kept repeating… until I finally broke it.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in the same story, or wondered why you keep ending up in the same kind of relationship or dynamic — this episode will feel like a mirror.

This episode is a love letter to the version of you who’s doubting herself.
I’m reading one of the final passages I wrote in my book — a moment that sums up everything this journey has taught me.
If you’ve ever been made to feel like your worth depends on your wins, your relationship status, or your ability to hold it all together... I hope you take a deep breath and let this episode remind you of what’s always been true: you are already enough.
No one else gets to define that for you.

✨ If this speaks to you, be sure to follow along , the book is almost here, and I can’t wait to share it with you.

In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of how this book actually came to life — spoiler: it wasn’t perfect, polished, or carefully planned.

I didn’t wait until I had everything figured out.
I didn’t go off on a writing retreat or hire a fancy team.
I just started — messy, scared, and in the margins of everyday life.

I carved out time between real estate deals, nap times, and client calls.
I used Google, podcasts, and trial and error to figure out what came next.
Some days I wrote two pages. Some days I wrote one sentence. But I kept going — even when it was uncomfortable, even when I doubted myself.

In this episode, I’m also inviting you behind the curtain: if you want early access to the book, bonus excerpts, and cut content from the editing process — sign up for the early access list in the show notes.

✨ You don’t have to wait until you’re ready to start.
You just have to start.

Let’s talk about what it really looks like to come back stronger.
