One of my besties Shelly and I pick up RIGHT where we left off from last episode. We talk at 1.5x speed, giggle and kick our feet like 14 year olds at a boyband concert, say "like" 4013 times, and get even further into the series that's causing a cultural phenomenon.

Some questions explored:

• What did we think of the absolute QUEENS in the show?
• Why does this all feel so REAL?
• What's the deal with situationships?
• What are the upsides and downsides of fandom, especially one this rabid?
• How can we use this joy to fuel change?

SEE YOU AT THE COTTAGE BABES.

Folks... we’ve been indoctrinated. Heated Rivalry brainwashed us. As someone who is EXTREMELY contrarian (Aquarius Sun), hatesss hype, an absolute TV/movie SNOB, and is pretty suss of fandoms… I promise you, the hype is beyond worth it.

It’s SO worth it, I had to debrief for nearly 3 hours with one of my besties, Shelly, to discuss what kind of glitch in the matrix is happening right now. What drugs were sprinkled in this script? What subliminal messaging did they use? WHAT IS GOING ON???!!!

We’re happy. Glowing. More pep in our step. This show has absolutely altered our brain chemistry.

DISCLAIMER: this is spoiler city. We discuss everything in the show.

This is a 2 parter. Buckle up, sooo much more to come in Part 2!

I'm pulling back the curtain on my 2025 business insights... nosy bitches, this one's for you!

I share the ultimate the plot twist: I made almost the exact same money as 2024, while taking a 3-month sabbatical, working essentially part-time, and living like an eccentric writer.

I break down my Pitch Perfect launches (including a surprising feeling I had with my first $20K month), why I'm retiring from being "The Podcast Queen," and the creative possession that birthed SUPERNOVA — my new thinking lab for people who want to build intellectual frameworks that shape culture instead of learning more tactical skills.

Plus: why I'm choosing restraint as my 2026 word, and why I'm actively exploring capped business models and circular economies instead of scaling into outer space.

Themes from the episode:

1. Making the same money while living exponentially better - I generated $143K (basically what I made in 2024), but took almost 3 months off, worked Tuesdays-Thursdays, and traveled to 10+ cities, which honestly feels more successful than any revenue goal ever could.
2. From reactive hot takes to restrained discernment - I'm retiring the knee-jerk cultural commentary and choosing thoughtfulness over Threads wars, because not everything needs my opinion and frankly, discernment is sexy as hell.
3. Why SUPERNOVA exists and why I refuse to be the podcast queen forever - The sabbatical revealed I don't want my legacy to be "she taught people to pitch/podcast," I want it to be "she taught people to build worlds," which required creating a 4-month thinking lab for intellectual frameworks that transcend your current business reputation.
4. Ditching cold pitching for relational EVERYTHING - I stopped teaching extractive tactics and started focusing on nurturing your actual circle, which resulted in my most collaborative Pitch Perfect cohorts and proved that relationships always win over spray-and-pray strategies.
5. Exploring capped income and circular economies because endless growth is a scam - I engaged in 8+ swaps/trades for high-ticket programs, I'm capping SUPERNOVA at 10 people, and I'm actively researching what it means to redistribute resources instead of building a team-run empire I don't even want.

My 2026 themes: CREATE. PLAY. PHILOSOPHIZE. EXPLORE. UNEARTH. ASK BIG QUESTIONS. SIMMER. PONDER. WONDER. THINK.

What are yours?!
