Self-love sounds beautiful in theory, but what happens when commitment to yourself brings up grief, resistance, and unexpected lessons? In this episode, I’m sharing about my 28-day journey to falling in love with myself—and how it didn’t go at all as planned. From facing hidden grief to realizing I was overcommitting (again), to finally understanding what surrender actually looks like, this experience changed everything, including my brand, my purpose, and how I show up for you.
If you’ve ever struggled with perfectionism, control, or feeling like you’re “failing” at self-care, this episode is for you. Because committing to yourself isn’t about doing it perfectly—it’s about showing up, even when it’s messy.
Listen now to learn:
Why grief can sneak up on you when you least expect itHow overcommitting sabotages self-love (and what to do instead)The power of surrender & what you actually can controlWhy my rebrand is a reflection of this entire journey

In this episode of Pleasure Pathways, I am looking at the concept I call “snail trailing” and how it can transform the way you show up in your relationships—with yourself and others. But it’s not the kind of snail trailing you might be thinking of! We're talking about how women, time and time again, give pieces of themselves away in relationships—leaving behind their desires, boundaries, and ultimately, their power.
It’s time to stop that. Join me as we explore how to reclaim your energy, set firm boundaries, and reconnect with your pleasure—without sacrificing your worth.
In this episode, I’ll share how you can stop leaving bits of yourself behind and start standing fully in your power, no longer auditioning for love or reshaping yourself to fit someone else’s version of who you should be. We’re talking about making 2025 the year you fall unapologetically in love with yourself. If you’re tired of shapeshifting to make relationships work, this episode is for you. Tune in, and let’s unlearn the patterns that no longer serve you, so you can create the love life you deserve—starting with YOU.
