In today’s episode, I’m giving you a real, honest update on my summer comfort zone challenge, where I committed to doing small, brave things that stretch me and grow my confidence.

I’ll share what I’ve tried so far (including a few things that felt really uncomfortable), what I’ve learned about myself in the process, and why this challenge is already changing the way I show up.

If you’ve been watching from the sidelines or thinking about doing your own confidence-building challenge, this is your sign to start. I promise, growth doesn’t have to be big or dramatic, it just has to be intentional.

Let’s talk about what happens when we stop playing small, step into something new, and keep the promises we make to ourselves.

Joy isn’t just a bonus—it’s a must. In this episode, we dive into why joy is one of the most important happy habits you can build into your life, especially as a busy woman juggling motherhood, work, and everything in between. I’ll walk you through how joy impacts your mindset, boosts your energy, and strengthens your confidence—plus how to create a personal “joy bucket list” you can return to any time you feel disconnected or depleted.

We’ll talk about simple, repeatable ways to practice joy daily (even in the chaos), how joy and confidence are deeply connected, and why choosing joy is one of the most powerful promises you can make to yourself.

What You'll Learn:

• Why joy is essential—not optional—for well-being
• How to build joy into your daily life with intention
• The connection between joy and confidence
• Real examples from my own joy bucket to inspire your own

If you’re ready to feel more aligned, more energized, and more like you again, this conversation is for you.

🎧 Tune in, take notes, and let’s build strong women...starting with joy.

In this personal episode, I’m sharing my real-life journey into clean-ish living—a simpler, more intentional lifestyle that’s helped me feel better in my body, my mind, and my home.

I’ll be honest—this isn’t about being perfect or going completely non-toxic. It’s about small, mindful changes: swapping one product at a time, choosing clean ingredients when I can, and learning to trust myself in the process.

Whether you're curious about switching to natural products, reducing toxins, or just want to feel better in your everyday life—this episode will give you permission to start small and go at your own pace.

You don’t need to do it all. You just need to do what feels aligned.
Let this be your gentle nudge to care for yourself in a way that feels good—not stressful.
