Text me—I’d love to hear from you!You don’t need to shout to be powerful. You don’t need to wait until you’re “healed” to take up space. And you definitely don’t need to shrink, silence yourself, or stay hidden just to make other people comfortable.In this episode, I’m joined by my friend Leila Nicole—a radiant, reflective, radically honest woman who brings clarity and softness without ever raising her voice. We’ve been trying to record this for two years, and now that it’s finally here? It’s a full-body permission slip to live a little louder, a little more tender, and a whole lot more you.Together, we talk about what it actually means to be seen online and in real life. And how the journey toward authenticity often starts in the mess. From softness as a power move to the sacredness of flossing, ChatGPT friendships, boundary-building, and self-discipline that doesn’t feel like punishment, this conversation covers it all.We also dive deep into what it means to rebuild your life from the ground up—not because you weren’t enough before, but because you finally decided to believe that you are.If you’ve ever felt like you’re “too much,” not enough, or stuck between wanting to be visible and wanting to hide—this one is for you.In This Episode, We Talk About:Why softness takes more strength than tough loveHow to be vulnerable without being messyChatGPT as a tool for boundaries, reflection, and healingThe duality of discipline and gentlenessShowing up even when you feel “out of frame”Building rituals as a form of rescueWhy you don’t need to “earn” the right to take up spaceReclaiming your worthiness in the middle, not just at the finish lineSchrödinger’s Cat, self-observation, and deciding your own outcomeThe joy of lounging like a sun-drenched cat (yes, really)Follow Leila Nicole: Instagram TikTok☀️ Leila’s favorite emoji is the sun—if you’re listening, go leave one in her DMs or comments to let her know you came from My Life Is a Saturday.Mentioned in this Episode:Schrödinger’s Cat + the “cat in the box” metaphor for duality and self-perceptionHow Ridiculous YouTube Channel – the group doing wild experiments, including the giant blenderGo live your life like an endless Saturday—because YOU deserve nothing less.Support the show

Have something to share? Text me—I’d love to hear from you! you are allowed to want more. You are allowed to say it out loud. You are allowed to imagine a version of your life that feels big, juicy, lit-up, and totally different from the one you’re living now—without apologizing for a damn thing.In this episode, I’m breaking down what it looks like to dream without limits. We’re getting honest about why so many of us shut down our big ideas before they ever get a chance to breathe, and how self-doubt, practicality, and other people’s opinions sneak in and kill the vibe before we’ve even started.You’ll hear me walk through three powerful shifts that can bring your dream life into focus—starting today. First, we talk about giving yourself permission to dream without the “but how would that even work?” filter. Then we get into the importance of actually writing it down (because dreams don’t get built from vibes alone). And finally, we anchor it all in action—because dreaming is only powerful when it’s paired with movement.This episode is part pep talk, part call to action, and part loving shove to stop watering down your desires just to make them easier for other people to digest.If you’ve been craving a life that feels more you, but you keep catching yourself shrinking, spiraling, or second-guessing, you’re in the right place.🔥 Need daily support to quiet your inner mean girl and stay connected to your dream life energy?
