This solo episode has been a long time coming, and I’m so grateful you’re here for it. I’m opening up about the journey we’ve been on with Carmela—sharing what it’s like navigating an autism diagnosis, the hard truths, the small wins, and why I’m more hopeful than ever. From functional medicine and light therapy to the emotional rollercoaster of parenting and advocating, I wanted to speak honestly about what’s helped, what hasn’t, and how I’ve learned to trust my gut through it all. I also answer some of your thoughtful questions about perfectionism, PCOS, manifestation, and how to embrace the chaos of your 20s. I hope this conversation brings understanding, compassion, and maybe a little inspiration.

Today, I’m sitting down with the incredible Laura Day — New York Times bestselling author, world-renowned intuitive, and honestly one of the most badass women I've ever met when it comes to real transformation.

Laura’s back with her first book in fifteen years, The Prism: Seven Steps to Heal Your Past and Transform Your Future — and it is major. In this conversation, she shares the wild, powerful personal story she’s never told publicly before, and walks us through how the hardest parts of our past aren’t just things to survive — they’re actually the key to creating the life we want.

If you know Laura’s work, you know: this isn’t about sitting around manifesting with crystals (no offense). It’s about practical, intuitive tools you can use right now to change everything — your career, your relationships, your whole reality.

We talk about healing, self-sabotage, trusting your gut, and how your "mess" might actually be your magic. Plus, how The Prism can help you show up in the world as the most effective, powerful version of yourself.

This is a must-listen if you’re ready to stop being stuck in old stories — and start building the future you know you’re meant for.
