Show Notes
What do you do when someone criticizes you, underestimates you, or makes you question your worth?
In this episode, I sit down with Grammy Award-winning artist Sheryl Crow to talk about handling criticism, letting go of other people's opinions, and finding peace when life doesn't go as planned.
Sheryl shares the advice that changed how she responds to negativity, what Dolly Parton taught her about confidence and kindness, and why sometimes the most powerful response is no response at all.

There’s no expiration date on your purpose, and sometimes the best things in life happen when you least expect them.
What if the life you’re rushing through right now is the life you’ll one day wish you could get back? Sahil Bloom joins me to talk about our complicated relationship with time—and what happens when we’re so focused on what’s next that we miss what’s right in front of us. We talk about success, relationships, breaking our addiction to our phones, making better decisions with our time, and learning to appreciate the season of life we’re actually in. If you’ve ever felt too busy, distracted, or like life is moving faster than you can keep up with, this conversation is for you.
What happens when your sister is also your best friend and business partner?
The way you communicate in a relationship can tell you a lot about whether it's actually healthy. In this episode, I'm joined by dating and relationship expert Sabrina Zohar to talk about the biggest communication mistakes people make in dating, relationships, and even breakups. We discuss why texting can create a false sense of intimacy, how to recognize emotional immaturity, the difference between being direct and being hurtful, and why setting boundaries can reveal someone's true intentions. Sabrina also shares practical ways to communicate your needs, take accountability, and build relationships where you don't have to beg to be heard.
Ever get a text message that makes you wonder, “What am I even supposed to say to that?” In this episode, I’m breaking down real text messages and emails from people dealing with difficult conversations at work, with family, and in friendships. From passive-aggressive bosses and controlling coworkers to family tension and hurt feelings, I’ll show you what works, what makes things worse, and what you can say instead. Because sometimes, changing just a few words can change the entire conversation.
