This month had everything... chaos, heartbreak, magic, and lessons I never saw coming. In this solo episode, I take you behind the scenes of my wildest month yet — the messy, the magnetic, and the medicine hiding inside all of it.
Inside, I spill:
✨ The Denver date disaster and the Venmo request heard around the world
✨ Landing my dream role at Deep Tropics with Pregame Meditations, artist interviews, and Mindful Mondays
✨ The Australian guitar boy saga and what it taught me
✨ Lessons from ARC Festival on protecting your energy when the vibes are off
✨ Why the universe keeps “cockblocking” me when I try to settle
✨ My September intention: discipline, clarity, and locking in
If you want the tea, the drama, the medicine, and the messy in-between, this episode is for you.
