How to break free from outdated expectations and start living for yourself—in your 30s, not your 40s.

Are you constantly trying to be “nice,” “perfect,” or “the one who has it all together”—even when you're exhausted, resentful, or quietly falling apart?

You might be stuck in what’s known as Good Girl Syndrome, and in this episode, we’re calling it out for what it is: a cultural trap that convinces women our worth is tied to being agreeable, selfless, and endlessly productive.

In this raw and empowering conversation, I break down:

• The 6 hidden signs of Good Girl Syndrome (and why most women don’t even realize they’re in it)
• How it shows up in your body image, boundaries, relationships, and even your sexuality
• Real client stories of women who broke free—and how they did it
• Practical steps you can take right now to reclaim your voice, your time, and your truth

Whether you’re in your 30s or 40s, this is your permission slip to stop performing and start living. Let’s stop shrinking. Let’s start showing up. For real. For you.

Episode Description:

We hear about longevity everywhere—biohacking, supplements, cold plunges—but what does it really mean to live a long, healthy, fulfilling life?

In this episode, I’m peeling back the layers of the longevity trend and getting honest about what matters most—quality of life, vitality, and how we build those things in our real, messy, beautiful lives. Especially in our 30s, when the pressure to “do it all” is at its peak.

You’ll learn:

• What longevity truly means beyond the wellness buzzwords
• Why your 30s are the most crucial decade to invest in your future well-being
• How to avoid obsession and create habits that stick
• What to do with all the overwhelming information and tools out there
• How I help my clients build personalized, sustainable systems that grow with them

This isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress, presence, and designing a life that lives well today and far into the future.

📝 Episode Notes:

• Intro: What sparked this conversation on longevity
• The difference between lifespan and healthspan
• Why your 30s matter more than you think
• How obsession around wellness can become burnout
• Longevity as a mindset shift, not a destination
• What to do with all the biohacks, data, and wellness content
• How I help clients build realistic systems that support their goals
• Practical ways to apply this wisdom in your daily life

I Got Sick… and What It Taught Me About Slowing the Heck Down

Why Last Week’s Episode Might Be Exactly What You Need

What happens when the coach who teaches nervous system regulation gets completely wiped out by illness the same week she drops an episode on… nervous system regulation? 😅

In this short and honest check-in, I share why there’s no new full episode this week—and why last week’s conversation with Olivia Bowen matters more than ever. I talk about what it felt like to be forced to rest, how I caught myself falling back into the “push through it” trap, and why sometimes slowing down is the most powerful move we can make.

If you’ve been feeling burned out, stuck, or like you’re constantly “on,” this is your permission slip to pause—and your reminder to go listen to the conversation you definitely don’t want to miss.

🔹 How to identify if you’re in fight, flight, freeze, or fawn mode

🔹 Why your body chooses stress, even when you hate it

They say women ‘dramatically age’ at 44 and 61—like you wake up one day, and it’s all downhill from there. But is that actually true? Spoiler alert: NO. Aging isn’t an overnight disaster—it’s a reflection of years of habits, not a birthday on your calendar.

In this episode, I’m debunking the viral myth that women ‘fall apart’ at these so-called milestone ages. We’ll talk about: 🔥 Where this myth came from and why people believe it 🔥 What really happens in your 40s (and no, your face doesn’t ‘fall’) 🔥 The biggest factors that speed up—or slow down—aging 🔥 What I’d do differently if I could go back to my 30s 🔥 Plus, a real client story of how small habit changes led to a major transformation

If you’ve ever worried that there’s a countdown clock on your youth—this episode is for you. Let’s rewrite the story on aging, together!"*
