095: The Support System Behind Every Successful Woman
Eat the Damn Bread
It’s the week of love…but we’re not talking about roses or romance. We’re talking about the support system every successful woman needs...a group of women who hold you together. In this episode, we go beyond Galentine’s brunches and matching pajamas to explore something deeper, the architecture of female friendship. The kind that isn’t curated for Instagram. The kind that regulates your nervous system. The kind that shows up in heartbreak, grief, ambition, expansion, and those moments when you feel like you might unravel. This is an ode to the board of directors, the...

089: France’s Quiet Luxury You Didn’t Know You Needed
Eat the Damn Bread
In France, life is designed around something called the third space — places that are neither home nor work, but hold community, creativity, and joy. From café terraces in Paris to the stoops of our favorite sitcoms, these spaces are where belonging lives. But in America? We’ve forgotten them. And with remote work blending home and office into one, the absence of a third space leaves us restless, burnt out, and craving connection. In this episode of Eat the Damn Bread, I’ll take you inside: What the third space is and why it matters How the French treat cafés, terraces, and...

Eat the Damn Bread
Self care while traveling isn’t just about bubble baths and beauty products. This is about reclaiming your presence even while in motion. Whether you're jetting off to Europe or exploring close to home, travel can either deplete you or restore you. In this episode, I’m sharing how to choose the latter by infusing intention and softness into your entire travel journey from packing and airport lines to morning rituals in your hotel and quiet moments by the sea.
