  • 53: Sometimes being delulu is the solulu: My journey from sad b*tch island to living a rom com
    Sep 27 2024
    I’m getting real and sharing my personal journey from what I call "Sad B*tch Island" to living out my own rom-com fantasy. From navigating ADHD and financial crises to running a business and dating in this wild world, I’m laying it all out there. What We Covered: • Financial Crises and Risk-Taking: Last year, I faced some serious financial struggles, but I’m sharing how learning how to ask for help changed everything. It’s hard being a single b*tch in this economy. • Embracing the Delulu: Looking back, if someone had told me how things would unfold, I would've thought they were out of their mind! • Dating Adventures and the Future: Of course, I had to dish out some personal dating stories and share my plans for what’s next. The biggest takeaway? Keep putting yourself out there and trust that amazing things can happen, even if they seem out of reach right now. Reach out and don’t be afraid to take those risks—sometimes being delulu really is the solulu! If you’re ready to lean into a little delulu and start making the impossible a reality, this episode is for you! Make sure to follow @ditchtheickpod on Instagram for all the updates, and stay connected for more episodes where we talk about the highs, lows, and everything in between of this crazy thing called life.
