It’s Not All Men, But It’s Always a Man
In this episode, I’m talking about the Cornell 7, the “not all men” conversation, and the reality of living as a woman in a world where we’re constantly taught how to protect ourselves, yet so often questioned when something happens to us. This episode isn’t me saying that every man is dangerous. It’s about why so many women feel like we have to be cautious all the time, why we don’t always know who is safe, and why somehow the blame so often ends up being put back on us. I know this is a heavy conversation, but I felt like it was something I needed to talk about. I hope this episode reminds…

Being Disliked by Losers Is the Price You Pay for Not Being One
In this episode, I talk about why people will always have opinions about you and why you shouldn't care. From projection and insecurity to outgrowing friendships, setting boundaries, and putting yourself out there, we’ll get into why being authentic and ambitious sometimes mean being misunderstood. You can’t live a life that’s true to you while constantly worrying about how it looks to everyone else.

If They Want You, You Won’t Have to Question It
I’M MARRIED!!! 💍🤍 After almost 10 years together, Josh and I finally got married!

I’m sharing the biggest differences I’ve noticed between the relationships that made me question myself and the kind of love I have now...where I feel secure, supported, respected, and completely myself.

Stop Feeling Bad for Being Young - The Pressure to Be Perfect in Your 20s
As I step into a new chapter of my life, I’ve been thinking a lot about how much pressure I put on myself throughout my 20s to have everything figured out. In this episode, I’m talking about the anxiety that comes with feeling behind...whether it’s your career, money, relationships, or just not knowing what you’re doing with your life. I’m sharing some of the things I wish I understood earlier, like why changing your mind isn’t failure, why experiences aren’t a waste of time or money, and why you don’t need a 10-year plan at 22.

How I Became My Own Boss - Influencing, Podcasts, Working for Myself
4 years ago, I almost quit podcasting because I felt like I was wasting my time and no one was listening.

Friendship Red Flags You Need to Stop Ignoring
Friendship breakups can be just as painful as romantic ones (sometimes even more painful.)

Aging Is Sexy (Don’t Let Society Scare You About Getting Older)
As I enter into the last year of my 20s, I want to talk about the fear and pressure that can come with aging. In this episode, I talk about society’s obsession with youth (especially for women), romanticizing past versions of ourselves, and how confidence, self-worth, and what actually matters evolves with age. If you’ve ever felt like your value has an expiration date, I hope this conversation leaves you feeling more at peace, more confident, and maybe even excited to grow older. 🌷🫶🏻💭 Trying Not to Care is sponsored by Whatnot - Download the Whatnot app today and get free shipping on your…

First You're Weird, Then You're the Blueprint
What if the thing people call you "cringe" for today is the very thing that makes you successful tomorrow? In this episode, I talk about why pursuing the unconventional route often comes with criticism, judgment, and very little support at the beginning. People tend to make fun of others who choose to live their lives differently, but the truth is: people often mock what they secretly wish they had the courage to do themselves. If you've ever felt judged for putting yourself out there, posting online, chasing a creative dream, or choosing a path that people around you don't understand, this…
