A podcast exploring a wide range of topics—from coming out and leaving a religious group to serving a mission and more. We’ll dive into both uplifting moments and challenging conversations, creating a safe and welcoming space for listeners. Our goal is to inspire, encourage, and offer connection as you navigate your own unique path.
Life has looked a little different lately, and in this episode I'm sharing a personal update on everything that's been happening behind the scenes.
We talk about school, business growth, work, navigating grief and loss, my spiritual journey, preparing for an upcoming surgery, spending more time with family, and learning that slowing down isn't a weakness—it's sometimes exactly what we need.
I also share how scuba diving continues to be a place of peace, reflection, and healing, and why I'm choosing to look ahead with hope despite life's challenges.
This episode is about growth, resilience, faith, family, and finding purpose in every season—even the difficult ones. Thanks for being part of the journey.

Toteum Animal
Today’s episode features the Baleen Fin Whale and the Emu — and honestly, best $26 I’ve ever spent.
One glides through the ocean with calm wisdom, emotional depth, and quiet power…
The other is a large, slightly chaotic bird that runs at full speed and refuses to fly — which honestly feels a little more relatable.
The fin whale says, “Trust your intuition. Be calm. Go with the flow.”
The emu says, “Panic a little… but keep moving forward.”
Together, they remind us that life is about balance —
Be emotionally deep… but also ready to sprint away from your problems if necessary.
So whether you're swimming gracefully through life like a whale…
or power-walking through chaos like an emu…
Just remember — sometimes self-discovery only costs $26… and apparently, that's the best investment you'll ever make.

A Spiritual Dive
supposed to be a simple diving class turns into a full-on spiral dive — emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. I went in expecting to learn a skill and came out questioning everything I thought I believed.
In this episode, I talk about how being underwater forced me to slow down, let go of control, and sit with parts of myself I’ve been avoiding. Somewhere between holding my breath and trusting the process, the experience shifted into something deeper — and unexpectedly spiritual.
I open up about why this moment cracked something open in me, how it led me back to belief, and what it taught me about fear, surrender, and listening when the universe (or God… or whatever you want to call it) is speaking quietly.

A Different Kind of New Year
This New Year looks a little different. Instead of rushing into resolutions and unrealistic expectations, I’m slowing down.

This is a conversation about healing, growth, and giving ourselves permission to start again in a way that actually feels right.
