This week, let's talk about seduction,not romance, but the art of inviting yourself back into your own life. In this episode, I'm sharing how slowing down, noticing beauty, and choosing pleasure on purpose can transform the way you move through the world. We'll dive into: • What a slow afternoon in Monaco taught me about presence • Why pleasure isn't indulgent but a signal of safety • How the French fold enjoyment into everyday life without apology • Why choosing slowness is an act of rebellion in a productivity-obsessed culture • Small ways you can begin seducing your own life, starting today Because the life you crave isn't created through rushing, it's created through presence, softness, and attention. Let's step into a more seductive way of living… one breath, one pleasure, one moment at a time.

In France, life is designed around something called the third space — places that are neither home nor work, but hold community, creativity, and joy. From café terraces in Paris to the stoops of our favorite sitcoms, these spaces are where belonging lives. But in America? We've forgotten them. And with remote work blending home and office into one, the absence of a third space leaves us restless, burnt out, and craving connection. In this episode of Eat the Damn Bread, I'll take you inside: What the third space is and why it matters How the French treat cafés, terraces, and boulangeries as everyday luxuries Why Americans struggle with building third spaces — and how remote work made it worse How to find or create your own third space, no matter where you live Because life is too rich to be lived only in two places. The secret is in the third. 🎧 Listen now and start building your own quiet luxury of belonging.

Luxury isn't about saying yes to everything. It isn't the crowded calendar, the endless obligations, or the forced commitments that leave you drained. The new luxury is about discernment, alignment, and the elegant no... boundaries that protect your energy without guilt or apology. In this episode, I'm breaking down how to practice the elegant no so you can curate a life that feels expansive, intentional, and joy-filled. We'll talk… • Why saying no feels so hard, and how to reframe it as an act of self-worth. • How the French philosophy of restraint and refinement ties into living beautifully. • Real-world scenarios and scripts for saying no to friends, clients, and even family, gracefully and without ever using the word "no." • How fewer, deeper yeses create more space for the everyday moments of joie de vivre. By the end of this episode, you'll see that boundaries aren't barriers, they're the foundation of living well, slowly, and luxuriously. Because your yes means more when you've mastered the elegant no.

Luxury isn't about excess anymore. It isn't the jam-packed itineraries, the bursting closets, or the endless noise. The new luxury is about sanctuary, authenticity, and quiet moments that actually restore you. In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly what this shift means and why quiet, immersive travel will be your antidote to burnout in 2026 and beyond. We'll talk... How "hospitality as sanctuary" is redefining luxury travel and why fewer choices can actually feel more indulgent. Why authenticity is the ultimate form of access, and how insider moments matter more than tourist checklists. What "quiet luxury" really means outside of fashion, and how you can weave it into your everyday life through simple rituals. How I design my retreats in the French Riviera around depth, not distraction, so my guests can truly soften, reset, and be cared for. By the end of this episode, you'll see that true luxury isn't about what you accumulate, it's about how you live, slowly, intentionally, and beautifully. Because luxury isn't something you buy, it's something you create.

Self care while traveling isn't just about bubble baths and beauty products. This is about reclaiming your presence even while in motion. Whether you're jetting off to Europe or exploring close to home, travel can either deplete you or restore you. In this episode, I'm sharing how to choose the latter by infusing intention and softness into your entire travel journey from packing and airport lines to morning rituals in your hotel and quiet moments by the sea. What we dive into: Why your nervous system travels with you and how to soothe it along the way How to build in-flight rituals that feel luxurious, not laborious Elegant ways to anchor yourself in a new destination (including scent, lighting, and pacing) Daily self-care habits that don't feel forced Useful Resources: 📍Learn more about joining me in Provence: https://www.thecuratedretreat.com/provence Let's be friends, oui?! • 💅🏼 Subscribe to The Edit, your link to a well-lived life.

On this episode of Eat the Damn Bread, I'm taking you beyond the City of Light and into the sun-drenched hills of the South of France to one of the most magical places I've ever wandered, St. Paul de Vence. Don't get me wrong, Paris is, well...Paris, but sometimes the most Parisian thing you can do is skip Paris and choose stillness over spectacle and presence over pressure, which is what the French lifestyle is really all about. Tune in because I'm sharing: Why St. Paul de Vence completely stole my heart How you can get there easily from Nice (on a budget or in style) What makes this village feel like a living, breathing piece of art Where to sip rosé, see Picasso's legacy, and feel James Baldwin's spirit This town feels like Provence and the Riviera fell in love and had a very chic baby—and trust me, it's worth the visit.
