It’s Valentine’s season(when this episode was released), and while love is in the air, I know a lot of you don’t feel it—at least not for yourselves. And trust me, I get it. I’ve spent years tying my worth to perfection, punishing myself when I didn’t measure up, and letting that self-hatred seep into my relationships. But yesterday, God put it on my heart to address this.

In this episode, I’m getting real about self-love, perfectionism, and the lies we tell ourselves about earning love. I’ll be sharing the exact scriptures God led me to and seven powerful steps straight from the Bible that will help you stop hating yourself so you can love others better.

This isn’t just for my Christian girlies—these lessons are universal. So whether you struggle with negative self-talk, body image, self-sabotage, or just feeling like you’re never “enough,” this episode is for you. Let’s talk about grace, healing, and learning to love ourselves the way God does—unconditionally. 💕

healing your relationship with food is a journey, not a final destination. ❤️‍🩹

in this episode, i’m sharing my struggles with restriction and binge eating—two cycles that kept me stuck for years. i used to obsess over calories, fear certain foods, and only feel "in control" when i was restricting. but that eventually led to binge eating as my body rebelled, and the cycle spiraled. it wasn’t until i began to heal my relationship with food that i started to find balance.

🎙️ trigger warning: in this episode, we talk about disordered eating habits and my personal experiences. if you’re not in the right headspace to listen, it’s okay to skip and come back when you’re ready.

💡 if you’re tired of the cycle of food guilt and confusion, this episode is for you. you are allowed to heal. healing is a lifelong journey—it’s not about being perfect, it’s about progress. even i’m still on this journey, and some days i still mess up. but every day is a chance to choose food freedom.

hi girls! in today’s episode we spill some tea on some toxic (mostly female) friendships that I have had in the past.

friendships are hard. FEMALE friendships are even harder. between the jealousy and underlying competition, the passive-aggression, the gossip, and everything else, NOBODY ever prepares you for it. NOBODY also prepares you for outgrowing friends and realizing you have nothing in common.

I go over the 3 GLARING red flags that you need to be on the lookout for when it comes to friends, how to get rid of toxic & fake friends in a classy way, and how to find healthy, like-minded female friendships.

let’s make 2025 (or whatever year you are listening to this) the year where you surround yourself with positive & supportive friends.
