If you care about how you look, you care about yourself — and that matters. This episode I get into why looks aren't as shallow as we make them out to be, and why paying attention to your appearance is really just another form of self-respect. I talk about where the "looks don't matter" narrative comes from, why it's not actually true, and how taking care of how you look can be one of the most honest signs that you're taking care of yourself.

You have to break up with someone before you can actually let yourself fall in love with them. This episode I get into the four segments of falling in love: the fantasy phase, the crack, the choice, and what's on the other side. I get personal about the two times I almost lost the relationship I'm now 7 years into, why men fall harder and sabotage harder, and why boring, mundane love is actually the goal, not the warning sign. If you've ever felt like you don't deserve the love you're being given, this one's for you.

One of the hardest parts of growing up is that nobody tells you what it actually looks like to turn into someone new. This episode is about that in-between place — not who you used to be, not fully who you're becoming yet.
