If you know me personally, or follow me on social media, you know this has been a really hard year for myself and my family. In this episode, I’m sharing all the things (okay, most of the things - my family’s privacy is very important to me!) that have been going on behind the scenes, and - more importantly - the actionable steps I’ve been taking to exit my flop era and get back in the game.


Keep the party going!


Some key takeaways from this episode include:

  • Medication was a life changing tool for me this year. I didn’t realize how much stigma I still carried around mental health treatment even though I consider myself an advocate for mental health care.

  • Getting ready - meaning putting on “real clothes” and doing my hair and makeup - has made me feel human again. My confidence is better, I feel more energized going into the day, and I don’t cringe when I catch my reflection in the mirror.

  • This difficult season has exposed where there are cracks in the foundation of my life and business. One of the things helping me make a comeback is facing those issues head on to feel a better sense of control and move the needle forward.
