Spoiler alert: Fun and strategic health & lifestyle shifts are how you ride the wave of life’s chaos and come out sharper, calmer, fully lit up, and ready to do what you’re here to do 😜

In this vulnerable and unfiltered first episode, I dive into my personal journey from burnout, chronic pain, and emotional chaos to showing up strong, grounded, and thriving.

You’ll hear how I overcame physical injury, mental health struggles, and relational turmoil ... and how I built a foundation of resilience, wellness habits, and joy to support a life of high performance.

You’ll walk away with hope and inspiration for creating sustainable health systems, and a taste of the fun + strategic approach to wellness I teach for high-performing women.
