Believing in Yourself Is a Full-Time Job

If you’ve been trying to “stay positive” but doubt keeps sliding into the room this episode is for you.

This is for the girl who clocked out for a minute. The thirty-something who got tired. The millennial who needs to clock back in.

In this episode, we get into:

-Doubt creeping in and why it made me question my faith

-Why I’m rejecting the idea that doubt and faith can’t coexist

-“Detours are not delays” — and how I’m rewiring my mind around timing

-Creativity without capitalism: your art doesn’t need entrepreneurship to matter

-The “hard body” energy I may be giving off (and how it doesn’t match my real desire: love)

-Believing in love when singleness makes you comfortable (and guarded)

-The real fear underneath love: “Will it cost me myself?”

-Abundance as birthright (not burnout) + letting peace be profitable

-Believing God is easy… believing His timing is the real work

-Grieving the life you thought you’d have by now (and still trusting you’re not behind)

-“Clocking back in” as a mindset: treating belief like a daily practice, not a mood

When Did We All Become So Boring?

If you can hold a convo, have a personality, and you have range… but lately every interaction feels like a bore... this episode is for you.

In this episode, we get into:

- Having a job is making us an absolute snooze fest

- How we were trained to build identity around work

- How job titles became the first identity we were ever handed

- Why we lead with work even though most of us don’t even like our jobs

- The dating angle: how men can be wrapped in work identity (and how women feed the beast too)

- A short-lived romance that proved how refreshing it is to get to know someone without work talk

- How being curious + authentic makes you more confident and more yourself

- And the fun part: my Kala-coded conversation starters resource to spice up your next interaction

Everything I’m Not Changing About Myself This Year.

If you’re the kind of millennial who did everything “right” — followed the rules, hit the milestones, played the game by the book — and you’re now looking around in your 30s like… wait a minute, this was a scam?

This episode is for you.This is your permission slip to stop “fixing” yourself into someone else… and start honoring who you already are.

In this episode, we get into:

1. Why “new year, new me” often turns into self-abandonment
2. The difference between evolution and erasing yourself* When you need a new perspective instead of a new identity
3. How adulthood quietly disconnects you from your core
4. The parts of you the world keeps trying to dim (voice, creativity, depth)
5. Why your mind and perspective are your most valuable assets
6. Letting go of performing spirituality & honoring how you connect with God
7. How conditioning, comparison, and conformity mute your authenticity
8. The identity check-ins I’m using to stop slipping into sameness
9. Why starting over isn’t always growth * How groupthink is making us boring (and why I’m choosing original thought instead)
