You Can Start Over Again (And Again)

What do you do when life keeps falling apart before you can even catch your breath?

In this episode, I share the real, raw truth of starting over — not once, but multiple times — through wildfires, heartbreak, creative shifts, and misjudgments that weren’t mine to carry.

I left Maui shortly after the devastating Lahaina fire… rebuilt my life on the road with nothing but donuts, dreams, and grit… then found a dream job cooking in this house with a beautiful vegetable garden in Malibu — only for a wildfire to claim that too.

And still… I’m here.

We talk about what it really means to begin again. How to choose your peace when others misjudge your worth. And why reinvention isn’t failure — it’s freedom.

✦ For the ones rebuilding in silence.


✦ For the strong women who won’t apologize for thriving.


✦ For the creatives who are tired… but not done.
