Behind The Cusp

🎧 About the Episode

You’ve probably heard the phrase “higher self” — but what does it actually mean to live as her? In this episode, we’re going deeper than the buzzwords. I’m breaking down what your higher (or best) self really is, how to know when you’re out of alignment, and what it feels like when you’re fully living from a place of inner truth, clarity, and peace.

We’ll talk about the subtle signs of disconnection, how to rebuild self-trust, and foundational tools you can use today to start showing up as the ver...

🎧 About the Episode

The people you surround yourself with shape so much more than just your social life — they shape your energy, your confidence, your clarity, and your capacity to grow.

In this episode, we’re diving into the power of aligned friendship: how the right people in your life can elevate everything, and how the wrong ones can quietly drain your sense of self. We’ll talk about choosing your circle with intention, noticing how certain friendships make you feel, and why protecting your energy is a form of self-respect.

🎧 We live in a world that constantly asks, “What do you do?” —
But rarely, “Who are you underneath it all?”

In this episode, we explore the difference between your true identity and the roles you take on in life — the titles, the to-do lists, the responsibilities, and expectations that can so easily become your entire sense of self.

You’ll be gently guided to reflect on who you are beyond what you do for others, and how to begin reconnecting with the version of you that exists - and always has -without performance, pressure, or productivity. ...

🎧 About this Episode:

There’s a part of the journey no one really prepares you for — the in-between.
The space where you’ve outgrown your old life, but haven’t yet stepped into the new one.
Where things feel quiet, uncertain, and slow… but deeply alive beneath the surface.

This episode is a conversation about the becoming — the tender, unseen, and often uncomfortable season of transformation. It’s not the glow-up or the breakthrough moment. It’s what happens before that. When you’re sitting in the unknown, shedding layers, and learning to trust a f...

In this episode of Behind the Cusp, I’m sharing a deeply personal chapter of my healing journey — living with chronic back pain, undergoing surgery, and the powerful lessons I learned about surrender along the way.

I open up about what it really means to let go of control, soften into trust, and embrace the divine feminine energy of flow and receptivity to return to who we really are. This isn’t just a story about pain — it’s about the transformation that happens when we stop resisting and start accepting where we are.

If you’re in...

Eight years ago, I made a decision that completely altered the course of my life: I ended my six-year relationship and walked away from the man I was engaged to marry.

In this episode, I’m opening up about that pivotal moment—what led me there, how I knew it was the right decision, and the heartbreak that followed. But more importantly, I’m sharing how that single decision became the catalyst for my deepest growth, healing, and completely changed the course of my entire life.

This isn’t just a story about heartbreak—it’s about recl...
