In this episode, I sat down with Kaitlyn Steward, a personal stylist and the founder of Hue & You Image Consulting, to talk about something that goes so much deeper than clothes—how style is directly connected to our sense of identity, self-worth, and how we show up in the world.

Kaitlyn shared how being a big sister to four younger sisters helped shape her gift for helping others express themselves through style. We talked about the emotional layers of clothing, the difference between personal styling and image consulting, and why asking “How do you want people to feel when they're around you?” can completely shift how you get dressed and carry yourself.

This conversation left me reflecting on my own relationship with style and reminded me that fashion isn’t about following trends—it’s about aligning with the version of you that feels most real.

In this episode, we explore:

• Kaitlyn’s journey into personal styling and image consulting
• The emotional power of style and why it matters
• How clothing can be a form of self-expression, safety, and confidence
• What it really means to wear your truth
• The deeper questions that guide personal presence and authenticity

In this episode, I’m opening up about something that’s been a personal struggle for years—and I know I’m not alone in it: being constantly plugged in.

I’ve worked in marketing for over a decade, which means screen time has pretty much always been part of my daily life. But even outside of work, I’ve found myself stuck in endless scroll cycles, picking up my phone for no reason, and wondering why I feel so mentally drained all the time. If you’ve ever felt the same, this conversation is for you.

We’ll talk about the real effects screen time has on our brains, our moods, our nervous systems, and even our relationships. I’ll share what I’ve learned, what I’m still working on, and the little red flags I’ve noticed when I’ve gone too far down the digital rabbit hole.

In this episode, I talk about:
• Why our brains are overwhelmed by screen time (it’s not just in your head)
• How dopamine and constant notifications keep us hooked
• The emotional cost of being “always on”
• What it means when we can’t stop checking our phones—even during downtime
• The signs your nervous system is begging for a break & the app I'm using that helped decrease my screen time on my phone by 80%.

Mentioned in this episode:
• Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport
• Be Present App

In this episode, I'm joined by Nashville-based poet, singer-songwriter, and professional makeup artist Poesy Roe—a radiant creative spirit whose work explores beauty, cyclical living, spirituality, and transformation.

Together, we dive into the transformative world of cycle-syncing and living in rhythm with your body’s natural wisdom. Whether you're new to the concept of cyclical living or already syncing your life to your inner seasons, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective on reconnecting with your body, reclaiming your energy, and moving through life with more flow and intention.

In this episode, we explore:

• 🌙 What cyclical living really means—and how it’s more than just your menstrual cycle
• 🌸 The four inner seasons and how they align with your monthly hormonal shifts, the moon, and the natural world
• 🌀 Poesy’s personal journey of discovering cyclical living through a women’s circle—and the powerful “aha” moment that changed everything
• 🔥 Why modern society disconnects us from our rhythms—and how we can reclaim our body’s innate intelligence
• 🌕 Practical ways to honor your creativity, productivity, and rest depending on which phase of your cycle you’re in
• 🌿 How women in every stage of life (including perimenopause, menopause, and PCOS) can still tap into this wisdom by syncing with the moon

This episode is an invitation to soften, listen, and begin viewing your body not as a problem to solve, but as a rhythm to follow. You’ll walk away with practical insights and poetic reminders that your body is wise—and it’s safe to trust her.

In this episode, we sit down with Marie Smith, the founder of Golden Hour Coaching, a certified health and life coach, wellness expert, and mom of five—who is passionate about helping people build lives that feel aligned and energizing.

She shares her personal journey from feeling completely out of alignment to becoming a coach who empowers others to reconnect with themselves and design lives that work for them—not just look good on paper. Through powerful tools like the Clarity Catalyst course and her signature Energize Your Life program (geared especially toward working moms), she helps clients explore what truly nourishes them—mentally, physically, and emotionally.

We explore the difference between balance and alignment, the myth of doing it all, and why it’s not about a one-size-fits-all plan, but about finding what works for you. You’ll also hear how tiny shifts—like micro-moments of mindfulness or movement—can make a big impact when life feels overwhelming.

Whether you're a working mom, a woman in transition, or just someone craving more energy and clarity in your life, this episode is your permission slip to tune into what really matters and start there.
