EP86: Letâs be realâyour twenties are often hyped up as the best years of your life, but they can also be some of the most challenging. In today's episode, I'm going to open up and share a mix of experiences, from the wildest birthday parties to those moments of reflection where I wonder, âWhat was I thinking?â
Your twenties are meant to be a struggle. We have all been there. Dating mistakes, money problems, major hangxiety, outgrowing friendships, and feeling like we donât fit in.
We've all had our fair share of dating mistakes, financial struggles, and times when weâve felt like we just didnât fit in. I'll delve into my own journey, discussing moments of confusion, the pressure to please others, and why embracing your true self is so important.
If you are feeling lost, you are not alone. It is a decade full of uncertainty. So grab your headphones, and letâs get into it.

EP84: Like most BFFs right now, my friend Lisa and are getting down and dirty discussing the most recent season of Love is Blind. We're sipping wine to get the convo flowing, and we're ready to unpack all the unhinged behavior from this season.Let me give you a sneak peek of our unfiltered opinions: Trevor is just seeking fame and attention, Chelsea is not exactly a Megan Fox lookalike (no offense), Johnny seems to be clueless about protection (but we hope he figures it out for Amy's sake), Sarah Ann and Jeremy are the worst, and someone needs to check on Matthew (although AD might be doing that post-show). As for Clay, he's either a weak man or a work in progress (but he needs to step it up). We have a lot more to say and trust me, you don't want to miss it. Our final question is for all of you: Is love blind? Grab a drink, sit back, and join us as we laugh, vent, and spill all the tea on Love is Blind.

EP82: This week, we're diving deep into the world of female friendships, but we're taking it a step further than just "Girl Code." We're exploring the importance of respecting yourself and your relationships.
I personally believe in holding myself and those around me to a very high standard. I would rather have very close friendships or none at all. I mean, what's the point of giving so much of yourself to others if you're not getting anything in return?
Ladies, it is time we stop wasting our energy on less than relationships. This episode is all about respecting yourself, setting high standards, and building connections that enrich your life. So, grab your pen and paper as I share 22 girl code rules to live by. Oh, and if you only leave this episode with one piece of advice… PLEASE don’t be the friend that “ex-hops.” It’s not cute. XOXO let’s go :)

NEVER sleep with your best friend’s ex
Going out rules in girlhood
Never leave a girl behind at the bar
Successful people don’t go out past 3 am
Be a better plus one at events

EP80: Grow up and glow up! In this episode, I am talking about (literally) everything to help you level up your life. Hair, nails, skin, sleep, makeup, wardrobe, meditation, daily habits, and working out, are a few of the many topics I am covering. I know my Boujee Besties always strive to be the best versions of themselves. But, there is always room for improvement. After all, we are always a work in progress.
When you hear the word “glow up” what comes to mind? When I think of the word, I think about someone becoming a more confident and hotter version of themselves. Glow ups are both internal and external. It’s not always just about looks. The true glow up starts from within. I know that social media puts pressure on us to be fit, have perfect skin and hair, and that everything has to be fabulous. But in reality, what matters most, is how YOU feel. So take out your pen and paper and start taking notes, because I am giving you every tip and trick to glowing up.

Deprogramming yourself
Glow Ups are internal
Nails and hand care
Taking care of your hair

EP72: If there were one word to describe this episode, it would be growth. Surrounding yourself with people who want to see you win, who are uplifting and motivating, is incredibly important in the game of life. Take a minute to ask yourself the question: When you spend time with someone (maybe a friend or significant other), how does that person make you feel? We have to assess our relationships and decide whether or not they genuinely benefit us.
In this vulnerable episode, I am sharing personal stories, goals, life lessons, how to grow as an individual, and how my recent Boujee Besties trip made an impact on my life. As the New Year is approaching, it is time we all take a minute to evaluate where we are and how we can continue to grow.
Episode highlights:
Friendships
Moving schools and making new friends
Life lessons in jobs
Financial freedom
Outgrowing friendships
How you feel around certain people
Girl friend groups
Cutting people out of your life
Adult friendships
Building a community
Boujee Besties trip
Growing to your fullest potential
