School of Self-Image

The 90-Day Reinvention is back. Join me this September for three months of deciding, designing, and embodying who you're becoming next. https://schoolofselfimage.com/join
Back in May, I stopped recording. No warning, no explanation. Just silence.
In that silence, I was being called to change something.
This is me finally telling you what that something is: the seven signs I've learned to recognize when I'm standing at the edge of my own reinvention (you might recognize these, too), and the real reason my business needed to catch up with who I've become.
Here's what we cover:
Why reinvention isn't about becoming someone new; it's about coming back to the truth of who you already are

Why I'm no longer interested in being a "better" version of myself, and what I'm chasing instead

The word that quietly changed every choice I made this year

The big misconception about reinvention, and why your life doesn't have to be bad for you to want one

The seven signs you're on the edge of your own reinvention and why they show up in the strangest places – your closet, your calendar, your silence

What I'm bringing back this September, and why I'm doing The 90-Day Reinvention differently this time

Welcome to Poolside Confessions, my summer series where I sit by the water, slow down, and share what I'm actually living and thinking about.
Today's confession is a celebration and an honest look back at 12 years of showing up.
500 episodes. I still can't believe it. My first podcast was published on August 8, 2014, and I have been showing up consistently – week after week – ever since. Over coffee, I pulled out my journal and wrote down every lesson this journey has taught me.
In this episode, I'm sharing the lessons from 500 episodes – what consistency has really cost me, what it's changed in me, and what it's given me. I'm also sharing something very hard for me to say out loud: what's coming next.
Here's what we cover:
Why consistency builds a body of work before it creates a result
Your voice isn't something you find; it's something you develop
Why you're never going to feel ready, and what to do instead
How the work itself changes you from the inside out
Why repetition isn't a weakness, it's actually needed
The importance of letting yourself evolve publicly and proudly
Why your podcast, your blog, your content is an archive of your own becoming
How to be devoted to your dreams while staying detached from the outcome
Why the more you create, the less precious you become
How consistency teaches you to deal with criticism
Why creativity lives in the living, not in sitting at home trying to figure out what to say
Why the real reward isn't the number, but the woman you become by reaching it
What it means when your truest essence asks for a new expression
What's next after 500 episodes

Welcome to Poolside Confessions, my summer series where I sit by the water, slow down, and share what I'm actually living and thinking about.
Last year, I felt a very particular kind of tiredness. Not physical. Emotional fatigue paired with restlessness, and I couldn't figure out why. Was it my hormones? The time of year?
What I discovered was something else entirely: I was tired of performing.
I don't think of myself as a performer. I live close to my values. I know who I am. And even still, I had been performing. In this episode, I share what I found when I got honest with myself – and why breaking up with your own success strategies might be the most important thing you do this year.
Here's what we cover:
What success strategies are – and why even your best ones expire
Why the things that carried you this far might not take you all the way
The moment you realize you're at a three, not a ten
Why it's harder to let go of what's working than what isn't
The question that cuts through everything
Why the fatigue you're feeling has nothing to do with supplements
What it actually means to be fully alive

#poolsideconfessions #becomeunrecognizable #selfimagetransformation

Welcome to Poolside Confessions, my summer series where I sit by the water, slow down, and share what I'm actually living and thinking about.
Today's confession is something I've been sitting with for a while.
I started thinking about the seasons of my life when anxiety showed up the loudest. Some of those seasons made sense from the outside – things were hard. But others were confusing. Things were going well. Success was real. And the anxiety was still there.
Sitting with all of it, something became clear: anxiety is never really about what's happening outside of you.
So what is it about? In this episode, I share what I've come to understand – and the practice that has quietly shifted how I live.
Here's what we cover:
Why anxiety is never about your circumstances
What always accompanied my most anxious seasons – and why I didn't see it at the time
How broken promises to yourself create low-grade anxiety you can't quite name
What happens when you stop trusting your intuition
Why the scary stories you tell yourself about the future are working against you
The practices that have built real self-trust in my life

Welcome to Poolside Confessions, my summer series where I sit by the water, slow down, and share what I'm actually living and thinking about. 
Today's episode is one I've been wanting to record for a while.
People assume aging well is a formula. Find the right peptides. Count the right macros. Follow the right protocol. 
I'm not here to tell you what to take or track. I'm here to tell you what I've actually come back to, again and again, over the years – the four things that have made the most difference in how I feel, how I move through the world, and how I see myself at 50.
Some of it might not be what you expect.
Here's what we cover:
Why aging well starts with your emotional life, not your physical one

The love affair you must have with yourself if you want to enjoy getting older

Why women with "arrival energy" are missing the point  and how to stay curious

The dictator vs. the wild child: finding the self that leads you through life

True pleasure: what it is, what it isn't, and how to tell the difference

The overlooked physical practice that changes how you move, walk, and carry yourself
