If you’ve been feeling off, overwhelmed, or not like yourself, this might just be the episode your nervous system needs. No fluff, just real talk on burnout, hormones, anxiety, and getting back to feeling like yoursef again.

Today’s episode is pure story time chaos. Picture this: you’re walking in Miami Beach with me, birds chirping, wind blowing, and I’m dodging sewage leaks, spring breakers, and a mold-infested home… all while trying to get to the most important facelift consultation of my life. This one starts as a casual walk-and-talk and spirals into an Uber debacle that includes: ✅ A hotel in meltdown mode (sewage leak and spring break traffic) ✅ Our ongoing mold nightmare and the mental toll of having no home or our belongings ✅ Why losing your home is more disorienting than you’d think ✅ An Uber driver with a full-blown domestic crisis mid-ride ✅ Me… stranded on the freeway… looking like a high-end escort ✅ Why the universe will start working in my favor (yes, I’ve decided) ✅ A sneak peek at my facelift consult—and what kind of results I’m NOT going for Plus, I explain why I don’t want people to whisper “has she had work done?” I want them to know… and ask for the number. And if you’ve ever had one of those months where literally everything goes wrong? This one’s for you. You’re gonna laugh, cringe, and feel a whole lot better about your own chaos.
