For the first episode of 2026, I’m talking about choosing a gentle start. Not trying to do everything at once, not having the entire year mapped out, and giving myself permission to grow into the year instead of racing through it. I’m sharing the goals that matter to me—personal growth, growing the podcast, and sending off my first draft—while also making room for fun, travel, concerts, learning, and movement. This year is about caring for all aspects of life: physical, mental, and emotional. And reminding ourselves that there’s no right or wrong way to start—every day is a chance to begin again.

In this final episode of the year, I’m reflecting on what this season truly meant to me — beyond the highlight reel and beyond perfection. I’m sharing my greatest success of the year: completing my 30 episodes going into 30, and why showing up consistently mattered more than doing everything flawlessly.

I talk about the biggest life lesson this year taught me — learning to have grace with myself, giving myself permission to not do great the first time around, and trusting that trying again is still progress. This year stretched me, humbled me, and reminded me that growth doesn’t require perfection to be meaningful.

This episode is about honoring the quiet wins, releasing unrealistic expectations, and closing the year with compassion instead of pressure. If your year didn’t look the way you imagined, this is your reminder that you can still be proud of how you showed up.

Thank you for being here — I’ll see you in the new year.

In this episode, I’m reflecting on the lessons this year taught me that didn’t come from winning, achieving, or checking things off a list. As the year winds down, I wanted to pause and talk about the quieter growth — the kind that happens in uncomfortable moments, during uncertainty, and in the in-between seasons that don’t make the highlight reel.I share what this year showed me about discomfort, starting over, rest, boundaries, and self-trust, along with a little humor about the things I thought would fix everything (spoiler: they didn’t). This isn’t a recap of accomplishments or a look at what went “right,” but an honest reflection on how growth can still happen even when progress feels slow or invisible.
If your year didn’t look the way you expected it to, this episode is a gentle reminder that learning, becoming, and healing still count — even without a win attached.

In today's episode, I’m talking about what it feels like when life gets loud — work, family, holidays, expectations — and there’s no pause button, even when you feel overwhelmed. I share what this season looks like for me and how showing up doesn’t always feel polished, confident, or impressive… but it still counts.

This isn’t an episode about fixing everything or having answers. It’s about naming the noise, letting go of the pressure to have it all together, and learning how to show up gently when everything feels like a lot. I also keep it light with a fun check-in on the small, chaotic ways I’m coping instead of pretending I’m perfectly okay.

If life feels noisy for you too, this is your reminder that you don’t need clarity to keep going — sometimes you just need compassion, grace, and permission to do your best where you are.

In this episode, I open up about stepping into a brand new role within the same company — and why that has made the learning curve feel even more intense. I share what it’s like to feel like I “should already know better,” to stumble through beginner energy, and to question myself when things don’t go perfectly.

I talk about how our confidence can dip during big transitions and why it’s so easy to start blaming ourselves when we feel behind. With a little humor, honesty, and misfit magic, I remind myself — and you — that being new isn’t the problem; expecting perfection from day one is.

If you’ve been overwhelmed, doubting yourself, or trying to relearn confidence while juggling life, family, and holiday chaos… this episode is for you.

You’re not the problem. You’re just new — and that’s allowed.

In this week’s episode of Jumping Into Jupiter, I open up about the surprising reality of reconnecting with people from my past — and realizing the connection doesn’t feel the same anymore. I talk about how time changes us in ways we don’t always see until we’re face-to-face with an old version of ourselves… or an old relationship.

I share what it feels like when the vibe just isn’t there, when you’ve grown but the other person hasn’t, and how awkward it can be when your energy no longer matches. I even get into how environment plays a huge role — like how in Utah I always felt judged or boxed in, but in Dallas? Literally no one cares, and reconnecting feels so much lighter.

I also talk about the hard truth that sometimes you reconnect just to realize the friendship was always one-sided — that you were the one doing all the giving. And as uncomfortable as that realization can be, it also brings a lot of clarity and closure.

This episode is all about giving yourself permission to move forward, honoring the past without forcing it into your present, and embracing the growth that shows you exactly where you belong now.

In this week’s episode of Jumping Into Jupiter, I’m talking about navigating plus-one season when you don’t actually have a plus-one. You know — those Google Forms and digital invitations that ask, “Will you be bringing a guest?” and you’re sitting there like… “It’s just me, babes.”

I share the real pressures that come with showing up solo, not just from other people but from that little voice in our own heads. I also get into how the environment plays a huge role — like how in Utah I always felt that “aww, poor you” energy, but in Dallas? Literally no one cares. It’s a whole different vibe.

I break down the perks of going alone, practical ways to make events more enjoyable, and how to reframe the idea of a “plus-one” to include friends, family, your confidence, or even your peace. Showing up without a partner doesn’t mean I’m behind — it means I’m building a life someone would be lucky to join.

This episode is all about embracing your solo era with humor, confidence, and a whole lot of self-love

This week, I’m talking about the unexpected lesson I learned from getting on a bike with training wheels — and realizing those “safety” wheels made me feel more unstable, not more secure. In this episode, I dive into the ways we hold onto our own version of training wheels in life: old habits, familiar routines, people we rely on, and comfort zones we’ve already outgrown. I explore the awkward middle stage where we’re technically ready to move forward but still scared to trust our own balance.

Through real stories and honest reflection, I break down how “safe” doesn’t always mean stable, and how sometimes the things we think are protecting us are really slowing us down. If you’ve been feeling wobbly, stuck, or unsure if you’re ready for the next step — this episode is your reminder that you might already be more capable than you think. It’s time to take the training wheels off and start riding with confidence.
