The future is on the table, kiddos.

I sit down with Chelsea Riffe for a conversation that feels like two forward-thinkers comparing bruises — the bruises you get from living in a world that’s shapeshifting faster than most people are willing to admit.

We talk about collective whiplash. The dissonance of being “ahead” (and not always in a fun visionary way — more like… you can’t unsee what you can’t unsee). We explore identity, creativity, community, legacy, self-image, and the tight little psychological cages that capitalism and the American Dream built inside our nervous systems.

This episode is about wanting a bigger life — but not wanting to lose yourself trying to prove you deserve it.

And it’s also for anyone willing to ask: What would I do if I made decisions from my deathbed — not from fear, ego, or performance?

Themes from the episode 🌶️

🌶️ Navigating collective shifts — and the weird grief / rage / loneliness of feeling the future arriving before your surroundings catch up.
🌶️ The pressure of forward thinking — especially when you’re creative, sensitive, intuitive
🌶️ The deathbed decision framework — making choices from the “I refuse to regret this life” place.
🌶️ Impulsivity as creative fuel — and why “stability” isn’t always the most honest value.
🌶️ Breaking free from the American Dream mindset — and the exhausting inner pull toward proof, status, and visibility.
🌶️ Self-image + self-worth — the ebb and flow of appearance, self-care, distraction, and performance.
🌶️ Redefining success beyond capitalism — wealth, leadership, contribution, redistribution, legacy.
🌶️ Community as infrastructure — not a cute accessory. A survival plan. A creative engine. A new system.
🌶️ Vulnerability + asking for help — not as weakness, but as leadership and liberation.
🌶️ Living with contradictions — building a life that can hold paradox without collapsing.

Pull up a chair — the your family system is on the table.

In this episode of Kitchen Table Sauce, I sit down with Paloma Vieira for a deep, intimate conversation about Systemic Constellation and how she uses it to reveal the invisible dynamics quietly shaping our lives, relationships, and sense of self. We talk about what happens when you stop trying to fix yourself and instead start looking at the systems (family, work, friendships) you were shaped inside of.

Paloma shares how constellation work reveals hidden loyalties, inherited burdens, and unspoken roles — and how right-sizing yourself inside your family system can radically change how you move through the world. We get into the discomfort of letting go of over-functioning, the grief of not being “the capable one,” and the strange relief that comes when you finally stop forcing everything.

Themes from the episode:

🌶️ What Family Constellation actually is (and why it’s not as woo-woo as it sounds — though we’re not scared of the woo).

🌶️ Invisible family dynamics, inherited roles, and why so many women are exhausted from carrying emotional weight that isn’t theirs.

🌶️ Right-sizing yourself inside a system — how stepping out of parentification, over-responsibility, and unconscious loyalty creates real freedom.

🌶️ Why “everyone belongs” (even the people you’ve exiled) — and how inclusion doesn’t mean reconciliation or access.

🌶️ The very real, very human discomfort of choosing new patterns and surviving the moment when someone else gets the recognition.

🌶️ How systems — families, workplaces, cultures — respond when you stop over-giving and start taking up your rightful place.

This is a conversation about capacity, grief, tenderness, power, and choice. About learning to sit in the middle of your own life — not at the edge of someone else’s.

If you’ve ever felt tired of being “the strong one,” confused about why the same dynamics keep repeating, or curious about how much of your life might be shaped by forces you never consciously agreed to — this episode will feel like someone finally telling the truth at the kitchen table.

Stay. Listen slow. Let it land.

In this second episode of Kitchen Table Sauce, I'm joined by Madison Gregoris to talk about friendship as a lineage of witnessing. We share everything we've learned in our 20-year friendship: the kind of friendship that spans decades, mothers, grandmothers, and continents. The kind that doesn’t just survive collapse but transforms through it. This is a story about the long game of love — about women who refuse to let eachother lose themselves, who hold each other through burnout, grief, laughter, and the wild work of becoming.

We’ll explore what it means to witness one another through every version of ourselves — the shiny ones, the collapsing ones, the ones who can’t stop overachieving, and the ones who finally fall apart.

We’ll wander through:
🌶 how women build lineages of care that outlast chaos and distance
🌶 what friendship looks like when it becomes a spiritual practice
🌶 how to recognize when you’re “disastering” alone and let someone in
🌶 the Great Restructuring — when friendship meets adulthood and boundaries
🌶 why being witnessed is one of the most healing, sacred things we can offer

So pull up a chair. Bring your mess, your miracles, your people. This one’s for the friendships that save us — slowly, imperfectly, and for good.
