what happens when the life you’ve built is just a mask for the pain you’re hiding? in this raw, no-bs conversation, i sit down with yvette—author of booze, blow & pancakes—to talk about living three different lives at once: fitness instructor by day, sales rep by night, and a secret life of stripping, addiction, and an eating disorder in between.

yvette opens up about the moment she knew she was going to die if she didn’t change, what it really takes to break free from the habits that are killing you, and how to honor the promises you make to yourself even when it feels impossible.

this is a story about addiction, survival, and the power of finally facing your own reflection... no masks, no excuses. if you’ve ever felt stuck in a version of yourself you don’t even recognize anymore, this is the wake-up call you’ve been waiting for.

motivation is flaky. she hypes you up on friday night and ghosts you by monday morning. if you’re waiting for some magical feeling to finally show up and change your life…newsflash: it’s not coming. in this visual episode, i break down why motivation is trash, why discipline is your real superpower, and how small, consistent actions (not feelings) build momentum, trust with yourself, and results you actually want.
