Show Notes

I've recently found myself deep into the fantasy realm of ACOTAR and let me tell you.. I've become so obsessed that it's affecting me emotionally and mentally.

I feel the challenges of separating fiction from real life and my expectations of romance. Have you ever felt the struggle of measuring your real-life options against the fantasies built up in your mind?

In this episode I also share my thoughts on online dating, provider men, and the divisive conversations surrounding dating culture.

I open up about my adventures in the Vancouver dating scene, discussing the challenges and pressures of being single in your late twenties and thirties. From online dating app mishaps to reflections on aging, we'll navigate the twists and turns of life's journey together.

So, grab a cup of tea and join me in this candid and personal exploration of fantasy, emotions, and the complexities of modern dating. Can't wait to chat with you all soon!

We're back with another episode and today we're revisiting one of my favorite topics—goal setting and leveling up for the new year. We’ll reflect on my 2024 goals: what I achieved, where I made progress, and the ones I’ve been chasing for years but haven’t quite nailed yet. From fitness routines and personal boundaries to money milestones and better cooking skills. Plus, I’ll share new goals for 2025, like clearing out endocrine disruptors in my home and continuing to create a more intentional life. If you’re ready to set (or reset) your goals, let’s do it together!
