In this soulful and seriously inspiring episode, I’m joined by sky dancer, base jumper, and soon-to-be author Jenny Cova—an extreme athlete who brings pink power, grace, and authenticity to the clouds. But behind a woman literally flying, there's a story of self-doubt and learning to let go of ego. But this isn’t just about jumping out of helicopters. It’s about getting real with the fears that keep any of us stuck—fear of failure, fear of being too much, fear of the conversations we avoid but know would set us free. Jenny gets radically honest about how perfectionism and ego can destroy joy, and how she had to learn to bring playfulness back into her life. 💭 Podcast highlights that’ll stick with you: The unexpected ego trap that almost grounded Jenny’s dream Why “fail once a day” might be the best mindset reset How to stop waiting to “be ready” and start building the courage to just be you ✨ Whether you’re scared to start, scared to stand out, or scared to step into who you really are—this conversation is your sign.

#306 WHEN YOUR BODY SENDS A WAKE UP CALL…Losing My Voice, 1 Year Recovery
What happens when you lose your voice — not just for a day, but for months? In this deeply personal solo episode, I share my one year update on a journey through muscular tension dysphonia, a condition that silenced me (yes, completely!) and forced me to face stress, identity, and balance in a whole new way. This is not just a story about losing your voice — it's about what happens when your body finally says: Enough. If you've ever felt like you're carrying too much — stress in your body, fear in your mind, or the weight of “what if I never get better?” — this episode is for you. 💡 Here’s what we explore: The surprising mind-body link between stress and your voice — and what it taught me about listening to my body before it shouts. Why ‘finding your voice’ isn’t just a metaphor — it's a daily, physical reality, and how I learned to nurture it back. Lessons from stillness: How losing my voice forced me to rethink success, slow down, and separate my worth from my work. Leave this episode with new ways to manage stress, protect your health, and rethink what it means to truly listen to your body. Chapters 00:00 When Your Voice Disappears: The Start of My Story 02:00 The Diagnosis No One Could Explain 11:00 What Finally Helped: Tools for Healing and Hope 14:30 Stress, The Body & The Voice: Understanding the Deeper Connection 17:00 Finding Meaning in the Silence: Lessons on Recovery 🎧 Listen or share this with a friend who’s navigating any kind of silent struggle right now.

#302 WHY NEED TO STOP SETTLING FOR HAPPINESS: Here’s How to Feel True Joy Instead (inspired by Carnaval!)
What if we’re all chasing happiness when what we really need is something deeper? If you’re tired of counting down the minutes or feeling your good vibes slip away as soon as the next stressor hits, this episode is for you. I recently soaked up the energy of Rio’s Carnaval—where music, movement, and a massive sense of shared purpose create one giant “dopamine menu” of fun—and it made me realize how much we overlook genuine joy. In this solo episode, I’m breaking down why a focus on joy can be the key to true fulfillment, rather than constantly hunting for those fleeting bursts of happiness. Here’s a taste of what we’ll explore: Why Joy Beats Happiness – Discover the difference between quick-fix emotional highs and a deeper sense of contentment that actually fuels your long-term well-being. Reframing Your Perspective – Learn how to shift your mindset, open up to new possibilities (Carnaval-style!), and find those spark moments in your everyday life. Owning Your Time (and Your Dopamine!) – Feeling “time-poor”? We’ll talk about transforming your schedule into a personalized “dopamine menu” filled with purposeful actions that keep you energized and genuinely fulfilled.
