I’m back from a little podcast break, and today’s episode is all about catching up. I get a little emotional while sharing what’s been going on in my life lately—updates on moving to Austin, some hard life things, starting my new job, and how I’ve really been feeling through it all. Think of this as a heart-to-heart before we jump back into a “normal” episode next week. Thanks for being here, I’ve missed you! 💛

This week of Second Opinion Society, we’re catching up on all the chaos—from a spontaneous trip to Austin to juggling a million school assignments and trying to keep my anxiety in check. I’m opening up about some of the fears I’ve been having around my upcoming move, the pressure of finding a job, and how it’s all been feeling a little overwhelming lately.

Then I’m answering your questions from Instagram: we’re chatting about my experience with weight loss medication, my Italy recommendations and travel tips, whether I’d ever open a business again, and more behind-the-scenes on the move.

This week on Second Opinion Society, we’re doing a deep dive life update—starting with my trip to Austin, the apartment search chaos, and a little recap of my Easter week. Then we shift gears and get into some business-focused write-ins. I’m answering your questions about whether it’s worth it to leave the corporate world and start your own business, how to know if it’s the right time to take that leap, and the question I get asked all the time: will I ever reopen my own business?

If you’re craving more freedom in your career, thinking about entrepreneurship, or just curious about the behind-the-scenes of running a business in your 20s, this episode is for you.

This week on Second Opinion Society, we’re catching up after a jam-packed weekend, chatting about my upcoming week, and doing a little deep dive on sibling dynamics—because those relationships deserve more airtime. Then, we get into some really honest write-ins. We’re talking about what it means to live life on your own timeline, especially when it feels like everyone around you is getting married, buying homes, or hitting milestones you’re nowhere near. We also dive into finances in your 20s, feeling behind compared to your friends, and how I quite literally survived on no money for a year of my life. Plus, the never-ending question: how do you figure out what you actually want to do with your life?

If you’re feeling a little lost, a little broke, or just a little behind—this one’s for you. Write in for advice and tune in every Tuesday for new episodes!

In this episode of Second Opinion Society, we’re catching up on all the chaos lately—from the weather changing liiiiiterally everyday, feeling absolutely broke after paying taxes and my car A/C breaking, to the joys and turmoils of applying for new jobs in Austin. In the advice segment, we’re diving into some big life decisions: how to decide whether to stay in your hometown for law school or take a chance and move away, whether going back to get your master’s degree is actually worth it, and if giving up a stable job is the right move when you're chasing a dream in a new city.

If you’re in a season of change, thinking about major life moves, or just trying to survive the realities of adulthood, this episode is for you. Love you always!

It’s spring break, and I’m feeling restless—so naturally, I want to do something drastic. In this episode of Second Opinion Society, we’re catching up on life, taxes (ugh), and my current all inclusive in Mexico dreams. Then, we dive into your advice questions. One listener is struggling to move on after taking a break from her boyfriend of over a year—how do you let go when you still have hope? Another is stuck in the “what are we?” phase after two months of dating—how do you bring up the conversation without making it weird? And finally, we have an all-time great stalking mishap story that I think pretty much anyone could relate to.  

If you’ve ever overthought a situationship, done some next-level detective work, or found yourself in a major life transition, this episode is for you.

Friendships, like life, go through phases—and sometimes, certain people aren’t meant to be in every chapter. In this episode of Second Opinion Society, we’re talking about the hard but necessary reality of outgrowing friendships. I dive into what it feels like when friends keep you in a box, resisting your growth and evolution, and why breaking free from those dynamics can be just as painful as a breakup. We’ll also talk about the difficulty of friendship breakups, why growing apart can sometimes hurt more than cutting ties, and how to stand up for yourself when you realize certain friends don’t truly value you.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in friendships that no longer align with who you’re becoming, this episode is for you. I also reference episode 01 of SOS a couple times as I dive more into life phases and such.

In this episode of Second Opinion Society, we’re catching up on all the latest, from reality TV deep dives to personal updates and your most pressing advice questions. I’m giving my two cents on the latest NYC influencer drama, my lineup of my messiest and favorite reality shows, and my own experiences with weight loss, weight gain, and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with it.

For the advice segment, we’re tackling some big life decisions. Should you leave a job you hate and how do you find one that actually makes you happy? What’s it really like to move in with your boyfriend, and how do you know if it’s the right time? And, of course, the age-old question—should you ever get back with an ex?

In this episode of Second Opinion Society, I’m sharing a major life update and opening up about what I've been feeling lately: anxiety. We’re talking about not caring what the mean girls in your town think, letting go of the fear of judgment, and fully embracing the "let them" mentality. I also dive into my thoughts on wanting to be an influencer, what it really takes to put yourself out there, and why you should never let small-minded people hold you back from chasing your dreams. If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt, fear of what others think, or feeling stuck in a place that doesn’t align with your goals, this episode is for you.

As always, thanks for listening. It truly means the world to me. See ya next week!
