Alright friends, hot off the press with another episode for ya!
First up: Ever go shopping with the elder generation and find yourself in a never ending line of coupon clipping, and moving at a snail's pace when you’re in a rush?! In today’s episode, we’re diving into the love/hate quirks of shopping with the elders.
Then, let’s get real for a second, as millennials we are the LAST, yes last generation that knew a world before social media and instant everything. Remember when the streetlights told us it was time to come home, and we played outside for hours instead of being glued to a screen?
We’re breaking down some fun (and eye-opening) comparisons between growing up as a millennial and today’s tech-savvy generation. From mixtapes to Spotify, MySpace to TikTok, manhunt to Minecraft, this episode will take you on a nostalgic trip that’ll have you laughing and wondering how we ever survived without Google!! 
Wrapping up with some inspo for all you moms out there, I’ll also be sharing my own birth story, turning it into something empowering for all the strong, resilient women listening who’ve been through similar challenges.
Get ready to laugh, reminisce, and find strength in our shared stories of resilience and change!

Alright friends, we’re switching it up today...and when I say switching it up, I mean in my kitchen!
Can we talk about cottage cheese? Apparently, it’s having a moment on the internet, I absolutely LOVE it, but is it really that good for you? We'll find out today! 
Next up, we’re touching on something wild and crazy conspiracy theories. Anyone falling down these rabbit holes? Let’s see which ones have people buzzing right now, because some of them are out there and some of them are coming to light in real time...No Diddy! 
And finally, we’re wrapping up with a topic I think we can all relate to in one way or another: GOING BACK TO ZEE EX. Yep, thats right going back to the ex. We’ve all been there or at least know someone who has. Why do we keep doing it?! I’ve got Sarah Curnoles, a certified life coach who helps people go from heartbreak to healthy relationships, joining me to break down this age-old dilemma.
Trust me, you don’t wanna miss this conversation!
It's giving fresh squeezed juice baby - turn up and tune in!

Also, we hard pivot with a discussion on when is it time to say goodbye to your beloved pet? I’ve been there, and I’m talking about those difficult decisions we all dread. 
All this plus, I’m hitting you with a rough reminder: stop letting social media diagnose you and take responsibility for your life! I’ll share how I took back control, found what works for me, and why it’s so important to do what’s best for your mental and physical health!

Who doesn’t love a good massage, right? But let’s be real—sometimes the process is just downright awkward. In this episode, I’m spilling the tea on all the cringe-worthy moments we experience during a massage: yep, we’re going there!
But that’s not all—I’m also diving into the wild reality of recycled fashion trends. Are the ’90s and early 2000’s really back!? I just can't believe it! Is this our redemption era as millennials, or are we too old to rock these trends again!? Hear my take on what I'm loving and what should stay in the past! 
Plus, I’m EXCITED to share some BIG news of a NEW venture I am launching, along with a specific message to ALL OF YOU that is a big cup of inspo to TAKE THE LEAP that we ALL need to hear!

In this electrifying episode, I’m joined by the powerhouse trio taking the country music world by storm—Chapel Hart! Sisters Danica and Devynn Hart, along with their cousin Trea Swindle, have captured the hearts of fans across the globe with their soulful sound and undeniable talent. You’ve seen them light up stages on CMT, The Tamron Hall Show, America’s Got Talent, and more, and now they’re here to share their incredible journey with us.
We dive into how country music chose them, the challenges of navigating the industry as independent artists, and the importance of staying true to themselves in a world that often demands conformity. The ladies open up about turning rejection into fuel for success and offer powerful advice for aspiring female artists looking to make their mark.
We wrap up with a look at their exciting upcoming tours, including their Armed Forces and Christmas tours, plus a tease about when they might be bringing their magic to Philly.
