So… I’ve been going screen-free after 9PM for seven days, and... it might be changing my life?? In this episode, I’m sharing the very real, very unexpected impact of putting my phone down at night. From cleaning my bedroom for the first time in actual months, to finally finishing a sexy fairy book (that I also hated), to waking up early with POSITIVE VIBES!? I’m hooked already.

I also talk about the one night I broke the rule, how gross I felt after, and why that slip actually proved how powerful this habit is. Oh, and yes, I had a little car scroll moment. Don’t judge me. I guess I'm fragile.

I get into how this no-screens thing has affected my sleep, parenting, workouts, mood, and how I process emotions (because turns out, when you stop scrolling, your feelings show up and want to be dealt with). Plus, I share a really sweet letter my son wrote me that totally broke and healed my heart at the same time.

If you’re thinking about cutting off screens at night, or just need a gentle nudge to do something good for your mental health, this one’s for you.

In this episode:

• The wild productivity boost that came out of nowhere
• What happened when I did scroll - and how I felt after
• My search for sexy books that don’t involve blood or fairies
• Journaling at night (and why I’m kind of into it now??)
• A parenting win that reminded me I might be doing okay at this

The people voted. The people wanted me to work out every day.
And I… kindly said, “No thank you.”

This week, we’re kicking off a brand-new month and a brand-new habit: no screens after 9PM. Why? Because I want to actually succeed at this whole becoming-my-best-self thing. And if that means I have to ditch late-night Instagram doomscrolling in favor of sleep and sanity, so be it.

In this episode, I’m talking about:

• The habit I am committing to this month, and why.
• Why working out daily isn’t the first step (at least not for me).
• A beautiful breakdown from my friend Victoria about how nervous system health, rest, and screen time are all connected.
• The realest talk on the most important habit of all: keeping promises to yourself.

Also: shout out to my ADHD brain, mini crosswords, my love-hate relationship with January, and the power of making just one change at a time.

If you’re ready to make one small shift that could unlock bigger ones, come do this with me. And if you need a little cheerleader in your ear while you figure it out? That’s what I’m here for.

Felicia is back, baby! And this time, we’ve got better mics and zero foils crinkling in your ear. In Part 2 of my conversation with my “hairy godmother,” Felicia Cardinale - owner of Mercury Salon and one of the most deeply intuitive humans I know - we go way beyond hair.

We talk about what it means to create safe, affirming spaces for all folx to feel seen, supported, and stylin'. Felicia shares the real (and raw) story of how she opened her salon - spoiler alert: it involves coffee-fueled late nights, screaming landlords, and a serious survival mode hustle.

She opens up about building community, being your authentic self (even when it’s messy), and what it really takes to come back from rock bottom. We also touch on the power of mentorship, asking for help, and how falling on your face is basically a prereq for success.

This episode is hilarious, healing, and honest - just like a great salon session should be.

In this episode:

• The real story behind Mercury Salon's creation
• Why the salon chair often becomes a therapist’s couch
• Felicia’s wisdom on surviving hard seasons and coming out stronger
• The surprising connection between hair care and personal growth

👑 Felicia is currently accepting new clients! Call Mercury Salon at 716-883-8800 or DM @mercurysalon43allenstreet on Instagram to book with her 6-12 weeks in advance, baby.
