• 6. You Know You're Already Her... Right?
    Jan 8 2025

    You know you're already her, right? The version of yourself you’ve been dreaming about, working toward, and waiting to arrive—she’s already here. This episode is all about realizing that the power, the confidence, and the energy you think you're still working to find are already within you. It’s not about becoming someone else; it’s about waking up to who you’ve always been and stepping fully into that.

    We’re diving deep into shifting your mindset from ‘chasing’ to ‘being,’ and exploring what it means to embody that version of yourself right now, not someday down the line. Let’s talk about embracing the journey, trusting the process, and showing up unapologetically as the person you’re meant to be. Because the truth is, you’ve got everything you need—you just have to own it.

  • 5. I Was Struggling When I Recorded This, And That's Okay
    Nov 24 2024

    You know how everyone's always talking about how they “overcame” something, acting like they’ve got it all figured out? Yeah, well, not here. In this episode, I hit record in the middle of a full-on breakdown—because guess what? Sometimes you’re not healed, and sometimes you’re not over it. But that’s okay. I pushed myself to show up, in all my messy, raw, unhealed glory. This is real life, and it’s not always about a polished “I got through it” story. Sometimes, it’s about being in the struggle and still doing the thing. And you know what? That’s more than enough.

  • 4. Appreciate What You Have While It's Here
    Nov 4 2024

    Isabel... when are you gonna slow it down with the mortality topics?!?!?!? Sheesh!
    Anyways...

    Alright, let’s talk about gratitude – not the Pinterest board, ‘live to laugh love’ version, but the real deal. How often do we spend time chasing after what’s next instead of fully seeing what’s already here? This episode dives into the art (and challenge) of appreciating what we’ve got while it’s still around. Because spoiler alert: that shiny new thing won’t solve everything. So, let’s hit pause on the scroll and give some love to the good stuff already in front of us. This is a reminder that life’s most valuable moments can often go unnoticed. Let’s not let them.

  • 3. Your Future Self Is Watching You Through Memories
    Oct 28 2024

    In this episode, we're diving into the idea that your future self is already watching you—through the memories you create. Imagine the perspective of your future self, looking back at this exact moment. What would they say? What choices would they appreciate? This is all about aligning with who you want to become and living with intention, creating moments that your future self will look back on with pride.

    This can also affirm that this moment is fleeting. It will not last, and that's wonderful to hear, but it can also be sad to hear. Either way, you'll be just fine, my love.

  • 1. We're Not Getting Out of This Alive
    Oct 25 2024

    Hi friends!

    Wow, welcome to my first podcast episode! How terrifying. Also, as I'm writing this, I see the title is on brand for Halloween time!

    Anyways...

    This week's episode is about our humbling mortality... YES we all know what happens at the end of this life, but do we feel it?

    In "We're Not Getting Out of This Alive," we confront that reality head-on and ask the big questions: What are we waiting for? Why do we hold ourselves back when we know time is limited?

    It's time to stop putting off our dreams, quit waiting for the "perfect" moment, and start living fully. In this episode, we'll explore how embracing our mortality can be a powerful motivator to chase our passions, take risks, and create the life we truly want—because, let’s face it, we're not getting out of this alive.
