Description
Society loves to label people who are bold, confident, and direct as ”bitches”. But here’s the thing—shrinking to avoid that label doesn’t serve you or anyone else. This podcast is about owning your strength, speaking up, and showing up fully as yourself.
For most of my life, I cared deeply about what people thought of me. I was the “good, nice girl,” which worked… to an extent. When I pivoted from a career as a professional performer to the cutthroat world of real estate, I struggled with this fear of being called a name for being bold and direct. But I learned that showing up as my authentic self—unapologetically bold—wasn’t just freeing; it was the key to success for me and my clients.
This podcast is for anyone who’s tired of shrinking themselves to fit other people’s expectations. Whether you’re rebuilding your confidence, stepping into leadership, or just figuring out how to say “no” without guilt, this is the space for you.
We’ll dive into stories of transformation—mine, and those of incredible guests who’ve rewired their mindsets and communication styles to make big moves. I’ll share tools and insights to help you show up bigger and bolder in your own life, and, spoiler alert: there might be ruffle some feathers along the way.
If you’re ready to stop apologizing for taking up space and start owning your power, this podcast is for you. Follow along and let’s rewrite the rules—together.

Why is it that honoring our own "no" often makes us feel the most difficult. The most selfish. And the most AUDACIOUS?
Today we're discussing the audacity to say no and how redirecting that energy towards life's best "Yes's" is the only way to go.
Taking up space isn’t necessarily about being louder... It’s about being rooted in who you are!
In this episode I'm exploring what it really looks like to show up fully... without over-explaining, over-performing, or apologizing for it. It’s about learning to hold your own energy with confidence instead of waiting for permission to belong.
What if wanting more isn’t selfish — it’s honest?
In this first episode of the Having the Audacity series, we unpack what it really means to let ourselves want more. More freedom, more peace, more choice — and yes, sometimes more money. We talk about the guilt and judgment that can come with ambition, and how giving ourselves permission to want more can open the door to everything else.
Ever had someone test your patience so hard you almost lost it? This week, I found myself three days into a negotiation with an agent who left me hanging, only to come back with what I call a “fuck you counter.” I snapped — and typed, “You have GOT to be kidding me.” Not my most professional moment… but definitely a human one.
In this episode, I’m breaking down what happened, the lessons I pulled from it, and why moments like this are universal. From spotting when someone isn’t engaging in good faith, to protecting your energy, to setting boundaries without apology — this is your reminder: you can’t control how people act, but you can control whether you let them steal your peace.
If you’ve ever had a “you have got to be kidding me” moment, this one’s for you.

Over the past four episodes of the Luck Laboratory, we’ve explored the mindset shifts, bold risks, and authentic connections that shape the way luck shows up in our lives.
In this final episode, we pull it all together into a practical framework — a Luck Blueprint you can actually use. We’ll dig into the science of serendipity, the psychology behind risk and resilience, and the surprising ways relationships expand our chances of lucky breaks.
You’ll leave with a simple weekly practice designed to make you more open, more prepared, and more resilient — because luck isn’t random. It’s something we can cultivate, one bold and intentional step at a time.

We often think of luck as random, but so many of the ‘lucky breaks’ we admire happen through PEOPLE.
In this episode of the Luck Laboratory, we explore why authentic connection is a powerful magnet for opportunity. We’ll talk about how trust and real relationships create doors that hustle alone can’t open, why being genuinely yourself attracts the right kind of luck (and the right kind of people), and how to move beyond surface-level networking.
This is about cultivating connections that feel good, last long, and lead to serendipity you couldn’t plan if you tried.
We’ve all heard the phrase ‘luck favors the bold,’ but what does that actually mean? In this episode, we dig into the psychology of risk-taking and the hidden role of survivorship bias—the way we only see the success stories, not the failures that paved the way.
We’ll talk about why stepping into uncertainty can expand our chances of getting ‘lucky,’ how to build psychological safety nets so risk doesn’t feel reckless, and why authenticity and genuine connection matter more than empty social climbing.
This episode is about learning to take smarter, braver leaps so that luck has a chance to meet us halfway.

In this mini-series, I unpack three real moments where I felt myself start to shrink—and chose not to.
In Part One, I catch myself shapeshifting for a potential opportunity before I even knew what was being asked.
In Part Two, I say no to a client offer—not because I couldn’t do it, but because it didn’t align.
In Part Three, I post a hot take, the internet explodes, and I have to navigate the echo chamber without losing myself.

Today's buzzwords are all about authenticity and vulnerability. But does too much vulnerability start to look unprofessional?
As a fellow oversharer, deep conversation haver, and somewhat open book with those I meet, learning to discern when vulnerability was appropriate was a journey.
We're talking about the fine line between sharing enough to be "human" while still being a Leader and maintaining a professional persona, especially in the workplace.

We've all been there. Working hard on our personal growth journey only to get completely thrown off course and think:

Let's be clear... This one's for me.
It's the season where we look at our socials and see everybody seemingly going on multiple european vacations, making money from a sailboat, or enjoying lazy days while apparently running massive businesses.
It can be hard to follow the routine when it feels like some folks have achieved something so special! What I'm learning however is that more freedom requires more structure and there are ways to start implementing it.
Let's Go!
