SOMETHING is me, a microphone I’m obsessed with, and whatever feels true in the moment. No plan, no polish. Just real reflections on life, joy, change, and not having it all figured out.
Created by Shari Alyse (America's Joy Magnet), a TV host and interviewer who believes joy, truth, and not having it all figured out can exist at the same time.
It’s been a few weeks since I last hit record… and a lot has been stirring.
In this episode, I’m sharing what’s really been going on behind the scenes. The quiet, unexpected feeling that somehow the people I love feel a little further away. The emotional waves that have been coming up as I get closer to releasing a dream that’s been on my heart for so long… Joy Drive.
This one is honest. It’s tender. And it’s for anyone who is trying to keep showing up when it would be easier to pull back.
Because sometimes the hardest seasons are the ones right before something beautiful is born.
If you need a reminder to keep going, to trust yourself, and to take the next step even when it feels heavy… this episode is for you.

(E11) Crying, Laughing, and Plotting My Escape to a Small Town
This episode is what happens when grief, humor, and big life dreams all sit down at the same table. I talk about the real moments of light that show up in the middle of loss, what it feels like to not have anything neatly figured out, and my very real, slightly chaotic idea of restarting life in a small town just because it feels right.
If you’re in a messy season, dreaming up your next chapter, or just trying to make peace with the in-between, come hang out. There’s always another corner to turn. Sometimes it’s emotional. Sometimes it’s hilarious. Usually it’s both.

(E10) When Love Has Four Paws: Grieving Hershey
Sometimes the smallest beings leave the biggest holes in our hearts. Today I'm sharing about losing Hershey, our beloved cat, and sitting in the raw reality of fresh grief. This is the first time I've been able to speak about it. If you've ever loved a pet or are navigating loss of any kind, this one's for you. Something shifted as I talked through this, so thank you. Pull up close, and let's sit with this together.

(E9) If My Coach Could Hear Me
If my coach could hear me now, she’d have taken the mic away.
I unload—my sweet boy Hershey isn’t doing well, memories of my dad keep surfacing, and I wrestle with what I should focus on.
A conversation about life, loss, love, and everything in between.
I’d love to hear from you...what’s one thing you’re wrestling with right now? Share in the comments. I'd love to support each other!

(E8) Turning Corners
I hit record today because something simple happened. I felt good for a moment, and that felt worth celebrating.
In this episode, I’m letting you into my world as I talk about turning emotional corners, honoring the small windows of hope, and navigating a few very real-life topics that many of us are thinking about right now, including anxiety around trying new things and the very talked-about conversation around food noise.
It’s an honest, in-the-moment check-in about change, courage, and remembering that even the longest winters eventually give way to spring.

(Ep7) The Noise in My Head Was Loud Today
Sometimes the stories in our heads get so loud, it’s hard to hear anything else. Today, I’m sharing something heavy I haven’t talked about publicly before and how I’m trying (not always perfectly) to make peace with the noise inside my own mind.
If your mind feels like a crowded radio station right now, you’re in the right place.

(Ep6) The Art of Not Knowing
I turned on the mic with no plan and ended up talking about all the messy stuff. Trusting yourself, caregiving trauma memories coming back, and yep, even psoriasis (because why not?).
This episode is a reminder that sometimes being real means embracing the chaos and sitting with the hard stuff. If you’re tired of pretending you’ve got it all figured out, you’ll want to hear this.

(E5) The Energy We Leave Behind
Another real-life, real-time reflection. A mix of unexpected feelings, honest thoughts, a little anxiety, some overenthusiastic kitty cuddles, and me definitely using this podcast like a personal journal (sorry!).
I share about the final moments with my dad and what that experience taught me about the power of our energy. How deeply we affect a room, a person, a space. Even after we are gone. We also wander into the feelings that surprise us, the spiritual moments you cannot quite explain, and the reminder that who you are carries more impact than you think.
It is tender, a little funny, a little deep, and very human. If life has felt emotional or meaningful lately, this one will speak to you.

(E4) Soft Seasons
This one is a little bit of everything. A ramble. A reflection. A real-time check-in.
I talk about small moments that feel big, emotions that sneak up on you, and the strange in-between seasons of life where you are growing but cannot quite see it yet. There is tenderness, honesty, a little humor, and a reminder that not every season is for pushing. Some are for softening.
If you are learning to be patient with yourself while life unfolds, this episode will feel like company.

(E3) Showing Up Without the Filter
Filters are great for Instagram, not so much for real life.
Here’s me talking about what it’s like to show up with hair loss, messy feelings, and all the expectations we pile on ourselves. It’s about being honest with yourself and the world, even when that’s messy and imperfect.
If you want to hear a little real talk about what authenticity actually looks like, come hang out.

(Ep 2) The Weight of Always Being “Okay”
Ever feel like you’re starring in your own one-woman show called “Everything’s Fine”? Spoiler: the audience is tired, and so are you.
This episode is for anyone who’s sick of pretending to be bright, bubbly, and put together when really they’re just trying to keep it together. I’ll get honest, a little salty, and maybe curse like a sailor—because sometimes that’s the only way to say it.
If you’ve ever wanted to throw the script out the window and just say, “Yeah, I’m human,” this one’s for you.
Plus, I talk about grief, losing my memory and other random things.

(Ep 1) I Don’t Know What This Is Yet
I don’t really know what this is going to become. I just know I felt creative, reflective, and excited to talk into a microphone that makes my voice sound way better than my inner critic.
This is SOMETHING.
A place to think out loud.
No format. No agenda. No fixing.
Just me sharing thoughts, questions, and moments as they show up. If you’re in a season of reevaluating everything or quietly listening for what’s next, you’re welcome here.
I’m not promising perfection here. I am promising truth, presence, and hopefully a few moments that make you laugh, exhale, or feel a little less alone.
If you’ve been holding back because you’re afraid it won’t be good enough yet, maybe this is your sign. Sometimes the most inspiring thing you can do is show up as you are and trust that it’s enough.
