Maybe It Didn’t Work Out Because You Would Have Hated It
Today at 11:00 AM

What if the things you wanted so badly didn’t work out because you would have ended up hating them? In this episode, we’re talking about rejection, redirection, divine timing, and learning to trust that things are working out exactly how they’re supposed to. From relationships and friendships to career opportunities and major life milestones, sometimes we’re so attached to the idea of something working out that we fail to see it might not actually be what’s best for us.

We’ll talk about letting go of what isn’t meant for you, finding the go...

It’s Not All Men, But It’s Always a Man
10/05/2026

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...


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.

How to Be Kind Without Being a Pushover
09/21/2026

Being kind doesn’t make you a pushover...being kind without boundaries does. 😐 In this episode, I talk about the difference between having a good heart and abandoning yourself to keep everyone else comfortable.

I also break down 5 practical ways to be kind without being a pushover:
1. Being kind without needing to sacrifice your boundaries
2. Give because you want to, not because you feel obligated to
3. Be soft in tone but firm in substance
4. Be interested without becoming responsible
5. Match effort instead of constantly compensating for other people

08/24/2026

I’M MARRIED!!! 💍🤍 After almost 10 years together, Josh and I finally got married!

08/17/2026

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 p...


How I Became My Own Boss - Influencing, Podcasts, Working for Myself
08/10/2026

4 years ago, I almost quit podcasting because I felt like I was wasting my time and no one was listening. Two weeks later, I had an idea to promote my podcast on TikTok, and that one video completely changed everything. I went from 200 listens per week to charting number 1 in podcasts on Spotify and Apple. 

In this episode, I’m taking you guys behind the scenes of how I went from working a job I didn’t love to quitting, becoming my own boss, starting Trying Not to Care, and eventually turning social media and podcasting into my fu...

Friendship Red Flags You Need to Stop Ignoring
06/15/2026

Friendship breakups can be just as painful as romantic ones (sometimes even more painful.) We're taught to look out for the red flags in relationships, but we don't talk nearly enough about the red flags that show up in unhealthy friendships.

In this episode, I'm breaking down four types of friends you should look out for..
1. the friend who resents your growth
2. the friend who turns everything into a competition
3. the friend who constantly talks badly about their other friends
4. the friendship "love bomber"

Aging Is Sexy (Don’t Let Society Scare You About Getting Older)
03/30/2026

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. 🌷🫶🏻💭

Choose Peace Over Proving a Point
03/23/2026

Some people aren't looking for a resolution...they're looking for conflict. Instead of constantly defending yourself, over-explaining your boundaries, and engaging with someone who thrives on fighting, choose to walk away. Protect your peace over trying to prove a point.

Today's episode covers...
❤️‍🩹 Some people are committed to misunderstanding you
❤️‍🩹 There’s no point in arguing with someone who’s ego is more important than your relationship 
❤️‍🩹 The difference between someone who wants resolution vs. someone who wants to win

First You're Weird, Then You're the Blueprint
03/09/2026

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 Miss Them, You’re Just Lonely
02/16/2026

Welcome to your post-Valentine's Day clarity episode 🥴 If the past month has had you randomly thinking about your ex and wondering if you actually miss them… consider this your sign that you probably don’t miss them, you’re just lonely.

In this episode, I talk about how nostalgia can trick us into romanticizing the past, why missing someone doesn’t always mean you want them back, and how loneliness can blur the line between love and familiarity. You don't miss THEM, you just miss having someone.
