Growing up in the South, so much of my experience around puberty, sexuality, and relationships was rooted in shame, fear, and abstinence-only messaging, and I’m unpacking how that shaped my body image, beliefs about pleasure, and understanding of STIs, consent, and self-worth. We talk about real anatomy (yes, including the clitoris), why pleasure doesn’t cancel out self-respect, how consent can change at any time, and why your sexual choices have nothing to do with your morality. This e...

I talk about how a friends-with-benefits experiment unexpectedly turned into a beautiful relationship, why women are taught to feel shame around desire, and how to start questioning the beliefs you’ve inherited about ...

If you’ve ever felt confused about whether you should rest or push, be soft or go all in, this episode is my perspective on ...

How will you spend the last 8 weeks of the year?

Have you ever felt like you’re doing “enough” but not seeing changes? Today I’m talking about some hard truths about fat loss, fitness, and the mindsets that quietly sabotage progress. We’ll talk about why you’re not “entitled” to results just because you worked out, ate clean once, or skipped alcohol, and how science, not emotions, drives real change.

I’m opening up about the real, emotional, and practical challenges of starting over after life throws you off course—like it did for me when I went through a divorce at 36.
