We talk about confidence, relationships, self growth, nervous system healing, women’s wellness, identity, and the personal brand that makes you magnetic in life and in business.
This podcast is also the heartbeat of The Wellthy Circle, my free community where women connect, grow, and find support through events and resources. And if you’re building a business or personal brand, it’s also a window into the work I lead inside Well Said Agency, my brand strategy and social media company.
Because wellth is not just about health. It is the energy you embody, the story you tell, and the life you build when you choose to fully become her.

Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is change your mind — even when the world tells you to stay the same.
In this solo episode, I’m breaking down the real reason we feel guilty for pivoting, why growth demands that we reassess, and how to trust yourself even when you’re making a move nobody else understands.
If you’ve been holding onto something that doesn’t fit anymore — a job, a plan, a version of yourself — this is your reminder: You're allowed to change.
Changing your mind doesn’t mean you’re lost. It means you're listening.
This is your permission slip to trust your next chapter — even before you can explain it.
