This week, I sat down with the brilliant Alex Ikonn — entrepreneur, investor, creator of The Five Minute Journal, and co-founder of Intelligent Change. Alex is someone who truly lives what he teaches, and in this vulnerable conversation, we go deep on the mindset shifts that create real change. Alex opens up about his upbringing, his recent separation, using relationships as a mirror for growth, the power of gratitude, and finding purpose in a world that tries to steer you away from it. Whether you feel stuck and are dreaming of something more, or just need a little inspiration for your next...

This week I’m diving into something we all do, often without realizing — self-sabotage. Whether it shows up in love, work, or how we share ourselves with the world, it’s rarely about laziness or lack of willpower. It’s about safety, belief, and the stories our subconscious & nervous system cling to. I open up about my own patterns — the ways I used to hold myself back, hide behind perfection, overgive in relationships — and how I began to rewire those old beliefs. If you’ve ever found yourself procrastinating, people-pleasing, or shrinking the moment you’re finally being...
