From navigating judgment and comparison to unpacking how introversion shapes our comfort levels, we share the real stories behind why authenticity feels so hard and the small practices that help us show up anyway.

Social media may get the hype, but it doesn’t build long-term trust. That’s where blogging comes in. Today I’m sharing the unconventional ways blogs save you time (hello, client resources), how Google really decides what to rank, and why blogging is the missing link in your marketing funnel. And if you’re ready to stop putting blogging on the back burner, I’ll show you how my Blogging in a Week program makes it simple to get started.

Affirmations always felt forced for me. No matter how many times I repeated them, they didn’t change my thoughts in the moment. Instead, I use something I call a real-time reframe. It’s a way of catching myself mid-spiral, labeling the lies my brain tells me, and choosing thoughts that feel supportive instead of fake. In this episode, I walk you through exactly how I do it and why it’s been a game changer in building self-trust.
