My Uncle Frank lived with schizophrenia, but to me he was one of the kindest, most generous people I knew. He always gave two hugs because one was never enough. In this episode, I reflect on how his courage to show up as himself still teaches me what it means to love.

Sometimes finding yourself means getting lost first. In this episode, I explore the beautiful process of losing who you thought you were so you can see who you really are. From New Year’s resolutions to ego-driven goals and everything in between, this is a reminder that clarity doesn’t come from control, it comes from honesty.

Welcome to Szn 6!

Fishing with my Grandma Moses taught me more than how to catch dinner, it taught me how to catch life. Through quiet mornings on the dock, I learned self-sufficiency, how to provide, and how to keep going when the world felt uncertain. Those early lessons shaped the way I navigated adulthood: hustling, surviving, and staying afloat no matter what.

But as I’ve been slowly finding my rhythm again, in my work, wellness, and online presence, I’ve realized that survival isn’t the same as thriving. In this episode, I reflect on what Grandma Moses taught me, what those lessons couldn’t, and the clarity that comes when you stop just staying alive and start casting for something more. 🌊✨

Season Finale: I’m Enough with Ty-Licia Hooker

In this final episode of our Thank You, Growth season, I’m joined by the incredible Ty-Licia Hooker - life coach, educator, and founder of Healing Together. We talk about a lesson that’s changed both of our lives: knowing we are enough.

Ty-Licia opens up about how embracing her enoughness helped her release the pressure to overprepare and instead show up with confidence and heart. We explore what it means to lead from a place of wholeness, how healing shapes our voice, and why joy and self-trust are so necessary on the growth journey.

If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re doing too much or not enough, this one’s for you.

In this episode, I reflect on a lesson that took me far too long to learn: I am enough.

For years, I moved through life trying to prove my worth - to my family, to the world, and to myself. That drive was rooted in childhood insecurities, shaped by a critical upbringing, and reinforced by patterns of overworking and over-giving. I talk about how those early experiences created a cycle of self-doubt that left me feeling hollow, no matter how much I achieved.

I also share how reading The 5 Personality Patterns by Steven Kessler helped me better understand my own coping mechanisms, especially the “Enduring” and “Merging” patterns, and how they showed up in my leadership, relationships, and self-image.

But today? I’m betting on myself, not because I have it all figured out, but because I know I’m whole.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever questioned their worth, shrunk themselves to fit in, or carried the weight of needing to be “more.”

You’re already enough.

✨ Plus: a short guided visualization at the end to help you reconnect with your wholeness.

In this episode, I sit down with Ashley Martin, a fifth-grade teacher and dear friend whose presence reminds you to breathe a little deeper. Ashley has dedicated her life to creating inclusive, culturally responsive classrooms that honor the full humanity of her students. But over the past few years, she’s also been on her own journey, learning how to slow down, listen inward, and honor her own humanity too.

Together, we talk about what it means to release the pressure to always be productive and instead embrace intentional slowness. Ashley shares how growing up in Oakland and Modesto shaped her worldview, and how slowing down has transformed not just her teaching, but the way she moves through life.

If you’ve ever felt like rest is something you have to earn or that you’re only as valuable as what you produce, this conversation is for you.

🎧 Tap in and hear how slowing down can lead to deeper connection, clarity, and care.

In this episode, I’m sharing something that took me way too long to learn: the power of slowing down.

For years, I stayed busy as a way to cope with grief, with pressure, with life. After my sister, Channon, passed, I didn’t stop to feel. I just kept moving. Work, school, building Life I Love, IVF. I kept piling it on. I told myself I was ambitious, but the truth is, I was avoiding.

Eventually, I started to see the pace of my life reflected in my daughter, the rushing, the anxiety, the constant forward motion. And that was my wake-up call.

This episode is about what slowing down gave me, how I’m learning to be more present, and how Dr. Philip Zimbardo’s Time Perspective Theory helped me reframe my relationship with time. That theory changed everything, the way I reflect on the past, show up in the present, and imagine the future.

If you’ve been feeling like life is speeding by, I hope this episode feels like a soft exhale.

In this episode, I share:

• How grief showed up as overworking
• The moment I realized my pace was impacting my daughter
• What Zimbardo’s Time Perspective Theory taught me about balance
• Small shifts that helped me feel more alive

In this episode, I sit down with my beautiful niece Terea, a Buddhist, ceramicist, and deep thinker living in Honolulu, to talk about something many of us wrestle with but rarely say out loud: what it really means to need help.

Terea opens up about living with complex PTSD and surviving multiple suicide attempts. It’s a powerful and tender conversation about what it looks like to unravel, and how healing began not through isolation, but through the steady, quiet presence of people who refused to let her go.

This is a story about trying to push people away and being met with love anyway. A story of chosen family stepping in, holding her up, and showing her that she didn’t have to carry it all alone. In the end, she had no choice but to receive the care that saved her life.

It’s about surrender, strength, and the kind of support that meets you right where you are, even when you think you don’t deserve it.

Trigger warning: This episode includes discussion of suicidal ideation and attempts. Please take care of yourself as you listen.

If you or someone you know is struggling, you're not alone.
