You know those people who just get you? The ones you can be your messy, unfiltered, totally human self around?

Yeah… those relationships are pure gold.

In this episode, I’m diving into why authentic connections are literally the key to opportunities you can’t even see yet. I’m talking about the doors that swing open because someone thought of you, recommended you, or pulled up a chair for you at the right table—simply because you’ve shown up as YOU.

We’re talking:
✨ Why small talk isn’t where the magic happens
✨ How to stop “networking” and start connecting
✨ The ripple effect of showing up fully as yourself

This one’s for anyone who’s tired of surface-level relationships and ready to start building the kind of connections that change everything.

Ever feel a wave of anger rise up when someone crosses a line—whether it’s big or small?

You’re not being dramatic. That feeling is trying to tell you something.

In today’s episode of the Do Life Big podcast, I’m sharing a personal story that seemed small on the surface—just a random family walking through our backyard—but underneath it? A wake-up call about boundaries, respect, and our tendency to shrink ourselves just to “keep the peace.”

Here’s the truth:
🚨 Anger isn’t bad.
It’s not the enemy.
It’s a signal—a clue—that something needs to be protected, voiced, or clarified.

This episode is for the woman who’s learning to trust herself again.
The woman who’s tired of explaining away her needs.
The woman who’s done being quiet just to make everyone else comfortable.

If your boundaries have been crossed and you’ve felt like your anger was “too much”… this is your permission to listen, get clear, and take your power back. 💥

This one’s personal, friend. 👀

I had a dream the other night that stopped me in my tracks—and it brought up something I didn’t even realize I was still holding onto: my identity being wrapped up in recognition, titles, and applause.

If you've ever felt like you’re not sure who you are without the business, the rank, the hustle, the results... you are NOT alone.

In this episode, I’m getting raw and real about what happens when your identity is tied to what you do instead of who you are—and how we can shift out of it.

Let’s stop chasing what no longer fits and start becoming who we’re really here to be. 🎧
