  • What Victoria Beckham Taught Me About Elegance, Consistency, and the Long Game

    What Victoria Beckham Taught Me About Elegance, Consistency, and the Long Game
    Oct 12 2025
    I just binged the new Victoria Beckham documentary on Netflix. I knew I would like it, but honestly: It was quite different from what I expected. In this episode, I share the three key takeaways that stood out the most to me. We talk about showing up (even when people don’t get it), what elegance really means, and why success is always more of a marathon than a sprint. If you’ve ever been underestimated, struggled to stay consistent, or just needed a little reminder that growth takes time 👉🏻 this one’s for you. ......

  • Role models, mentors & everyday inspirations

    Role models, mentors & everyday inspirations
    Jun 22 2025
    Who says you need a mentor? What if your next big step is just a podcast episode, a YouTube video, or a good book away? In this episode, I’m sharing thoughts on how the internet can help us shape the next version of ourselves — by learning from people we admire (even if we’ve never met them). It’s about finding mentors and role models, sometimes in unexpected places — and how that can slowly but surely change the way you think, live, and grow. Also: a little story from my recent travels that reminded me how beautiful small human connections can be. ✨ Tune in & get inspired.

    Ever felt like you’re somehow… not like the others? Like you stand out — at family dinners, summer parties, festivals, or even just in everyday conversations? In this episode, we talk about those moments where you feel like the odd one out — whether it’s because you made a different life choice, changed direction, or just don’t vibe with the crowd around you. No pressure to be loud or radically different — but an invitation to stay true to yourself, even if you feel a little offbeat. I’m sharing personal stories (cheerleading in a tiny town, showing up sober at a beer pong table 😉), some lessons learned, and reflections that might help you navigate similar situations — a little more grounded, a little more confident, and a lot more you. Let’s talk about… ✨ Belonging vs. authenticity ✨ Social norms that are just… weird ✨ Why people might push back when you grow ✨ And how to stay soft, open-hearted, and true to yourself through it all No preaching, just real talk. Let’s dive in.

    In this episode, I’m sharing a shift in perspective that came to me on a slow Sunday morning. We’ll explore why our minds love to fill in the blanks with worst-case scenarios, what’s actually going on in other people’s heads (hint: it’s probably not about you), and how to come back to yourself when your confidence starts to wobble. This isn’t about ignoring what people think - it’s about not letting it define who you are. Ready for a little mindset reframe?

    It wasn’t meant to be. Or was it?

    Things don’t always go as planned. You’re excited, you’ve got everything lined up… and then life throws a thunderstorm your way. Literally. In this episode, I’m sharing a story from my latest weekend at a festival — a weekend that didn’t exactly end the way we hoped. But instead of staying stuck in frustration, I took it as a reminder of something deeper: what if it was all happening for us, not to us? We’re talking about: 🌩️ Radical acceptance in real life (not just as a buzzword) 🍞 What burnt toast has to do with staying calm ⏳ How small everyday moments shape how we handle the big ones 🌀 Why control isn’t always the goal — and what to focus on instead So if you’ve ever had one of those “ugh, seriously?!” kind of moments (who hasn’t?), this one might bring a bit of peace and perspective to your day.

  • What’s the worst that can happen?

    What’s the worst that can happen?
    May 11 2025
    Welcome to the very first episode of One Week at a Time! In this premiere, I’m taking you behind the scenes of how this podcast idea was born – quite literally during a run with a podcast in my ears. I talk about those “click” moments that spark change, the myth of being brave when making life shifts like emigration, and how our subconscious mind often holds us back more than we think. You’ll also hear why it’s okay to keep your ideas to yourself until they’re strong enough to stand, and how asking “What’s the worst that can happen?” can change the way you approach any big decision in life. Oh – and yes, we also talk about PMS, spinning bikes, and mood resets. It’s real, it’s honest, it’s all part of it. Come along and listen in – one week at a time.
