👉🏽 Start NOW. No more waiting.

If you’re waiting for January 1st to make a change or go after what you want, here’s a reminder: you don’t need a new year to start. You can decide right now that you’re ready to go for it.

In today’s episode, I dive into the importance of not waiting for a perfect date or fresh year to take action. Many of us tend to feel like the end of the year means it’s “too late,” or we assume we’ll get another shot at our dreams in the next calendar year. But the reality? Life doesn’t wait, and we don’t know how much time we have. If there’s a dream, a goal, or a spark in your heart, now is the time to start.

We’ll explore:

  • Why you don’t need a new year, new week, or even a new day to begin
  • How giving up on the end of the year can waste precious time and momentum
  • Why every day is an opportunity to get closer to your goals
  • The power of deciding now to step into your joy, abundance, happiness, and impact

If you’re ready to stop delaying your dreams, this episode is here to remind you of your power to start today.

Key Takeaways

  1. Don’t wait for the perfect moment: You can start creating change today, no matter what the calendar says.
  2. Time isn’t promised: We often think we have endless time, but the truth is we don’t know how much we have.
  3. Your dreams deserve action: Every goal, big or small, is worthy of your time and commitment now—not later.
  4. End-of-year momentum: Finishing the year strong builds powerful energy going into the next.

This episode is all about claiming your dreams and stepping into action now. Stop waiting for the right time—because the right time is whenever you decide. Listen, get inspired, and take the leap.

Today's episode is 🔥:

If you’re in business, leading a team, or building a personal brand, here’s a tough truth: nobody cares about what you’re selling until they know you care about them. In this unapologetic episode, I dive into what really makes people want to connect with—and buy from—you.

When it comes to building a brand, it’s not about pushing products or services; it’s about letting people see the real you. I unpack why sharing your authentic self—the raw, vulnerable, and unpolished parts—is the key to building lasting relationships with your clients and community. People don’t buy programs, services, or events—they buy you. I explore how to foster this connection and let go of the ‘sales-first’ mentality.

Whether you're sharing the highs and lows, quirks, passions, or beliefs that make you who you are, embracing full transparency makes you magnetic. And when you build this kind of realness, you’re not just gaining clients—you’re creating lifetime fans who resonate with you and want to be part of your world.

Key Takeaways:

  • People Buy People: They care more about who you are than what you’re selling. Letting them see the real you builds connection and trust.
  • Vulnerability as a Strength: Opening up about the unfiltered parts of your journey—your challenges, beliefs, even your quirks—draws people in.
  • Create Real Relationships: Move beyond sales pitches. Be genuinely interested in others, and when it’s your turn, share your story authentically.
  • Show Up Fully: Be yourself on all platforms. People who resonate with your true self will naturally be drawn to your brand, creating a genuine following.
  • Connection Over Perfection: Perfection can be alienating. Embrace and share your imperfections—they’re what make you human and relatable.

▶️ Play me when: You're Sad

▶️ Play me when: You're Sad

In this episode, I dive deep into the often-neglected emotion of sadness and why it's crucial to give ourselves permission to feel it fully.

Sometimes, we think we have to be happy, that we have to push through and keep a smile on, but the truth is—you’re allowed to feel sad. You’re allowed to grieve. You’re allowed to release the emotions that weigh on you, without judgment, and without needing a reason.

I remind you that sadness is not something to run from. In fact, embracing sadness can be healing.

I explore how grief, sadness, and allowing yourself time to cry can release the emotional burdens that, when bottled up, turn into a heavy armor around your heart. This armor may protect you from being hurt again, but it also blocks love, connection, and joy from coming in.

I share my own process of making space for sadness—whether it's crying in the car, screaming into a pillow, or sitting in stillness with my feelings. The act of releasing these emotions brings clarity, lightness, and a renewed sense of freedom.

Sadness is here to serve you, not to define you.

It’s just a moment. And after this moment of sadness, you’ll laugh again, feel joy again, and continue to move through life lighter and clearer.

Key Takeaways:

  • It’s okay to be sad—don’t feel guilty for taking the time to grieve or feel your emotions.
  • Sadness creates emotional clarity and releases the burdens we carry inside.
  • Crying or releasing emotions helps prevent emotional constipation—bottling up feelings only leads to emotional outbursts at inappropriate times.
  • Sadness doesn’t make you a sad or depressed person—it’s simply one of many emotions we feel.
  • Giving yourself space to process sadness leads to lightness, clarity, and emotional healing.
  • Embrace sadness without judgment, and understand that it’s part of the journey toward happiness, joy, and freedom.

How I dodged the P. Diddy bullet

How I dodged the P. Diddy bullet

Today’s episode is a little different, and I’m diving deep into a personal story that taught me some serious life lessons about intuition, self-worth, and protecting your energy.

I’m taking you back to a time when I almost got wrapped up in Puff Daddy’s world. Yep, you heard that right—P. Diddy.

But this isn’t just a story about a near-miss with fame. It’s a much bigger conversation about the way women are treated in the entertainment industry, the pressures we face to fit in, and the importance of listening to that inner voice that always knows what’s best for us.

In this episode, I share the moment I chose to walk away from what could have been a dangerous situation and how trusting my gut literally saved me from making a huge mistake.

I want to highlight the societal pressures that push women to compromise their dignity and safety for opportunities that seem too good to pass up.

We’ve all been there—feeling like we need to go along with things just to get ahead or be accepted. But this episode is a reminder that your self-worth is non-negotiable.

You don’t owe anyone anything, and no amount of fame or validation is worth sacrificing your safety or your values.

Throughout this episode, I get real about my experiences and why it’s so important for women to trust their intuition and stand firm in who they are.

I’m here to remind you that you deserve to navigate your life with confidence, knowing your worth and setting boundaries that protect your energy.

Key Takeaways:

  • Trusting your intuition can protect you from dangerous situations and unwanted advances.
  • Self-worth and confidence are essential for navigating challenges and making empowered choices.
  • It’s important to listen to your gut when faced with discomfort, especially in high-pressure environments.
  • Women often face societal pressures that undermine their self-respect and boundaries.
  • Building resilience from past experiences can strengthen your intuition and decision-making.
  • Having clear personal boundaries is crucial, especially in the modeling and entertainment industries.

My Biggest Pet Peeve- Become more resourceful

In this episode I dive into one of the most important tools for success—resourcefulness.

This is something that has completely changed my life and helped me go from surviving to thriving, both personally and professionally.

I share my own journey, from humble beginnings to building a seven-figure business, and the critical role that resourcefulness has played in every step of that journey.

Whether you’re feeling stuck or just looking for that push to take action, this episode is packed with practical advice to help you figure things out and create the success you want in your life.

It’s all about taking control, solving problems, and making progress—no matter where you start.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • How resourcefulness can overcome a lack of resources
  • Why figuring things out on your own is key to success
  • The importance of taking imperfect action over waiting for perfection
  • How to stop relying on others and start trusting yourself
  • Why resilience and a problem-solving mindset are essential in business and life

Key Takeaways:

  1. Resourcefulness is a Superpower: It’s not about what you have, it’s about what you can create with what you’ve got.
  2. Action Beats Overthinking: You don’t need to have all the answers right now. Just start, and the path will become clearer as you go.
  3. Become a Lifelong Learner: Whether it's through Google, YouTube, or mentorship, commit to finding solutions and leveling up.
  4. Don’t Outsource Your Power: You have the power to figure it out, so stop waiting for someone else to solve your problems.
  5. Messing Up is Progress: Every failure is a step toward success. If you’re willing to get back up every time, you’ll get to where you want to be.

I’m here to remind you that resourcefulness isn’t something you’re born with—it’s a skill you can cultivate. And once you master it, there’s no limit to what you can achieve.
