What it is

Welcome to Ready for Love, the podcast for women who are ready to stop orbiting everyone else’s needs, expectations, and opinions and become the center of their own lives.

I created this show to to have counter-culture conversations on love, power and modern womanhood. Each episode turns your attention inward, toward the beliefs, patterns, choices, and self-betrayals shaping the life you have now, because when you change, everything in your life changes, too. And you can finally start creating the life you actually want.

Being ready for love reaches far beyond finding a romantic partner. It means becoming grounded enough to trust yourself, honest enough to face your own b******t, and self-led enough to decide what belongs in your life. That includes the people you love, the work you pursue, the standards you hold, the pleasure you allow, and the future you are willing to create.

I spent 15 years as a clinical psychotherapist before becoming the paradigm-shifting, script-flipping life disrupter you hear today. I’m part woo, part neuroscience, and entirely uninterested in recycled advice about fixing yourself, becoming more palatable, or performing your way into someone else’s approval.

On Ready for Love, we challenge the ideas women have been handed about relationships, ambition, confidence, aging, anxiety, power, pleasure, success, and what it means to be a “good” woman. Some of those ideas may already feel uncomfortable. Good. Discomfort is often what happens when an old belief realizes it is about to lose its job.

This is your invitation to become self, centered: more self-trusting, self-aware, self-assured, and fully in possession of your own life. You are not here to shrink, settle, or spend another decade proving how much you can tolerate. You are here to become the woman who gets what she wants without abandoning herself along the way.

New episodes drop every Friday on all podcast platforms and YouTube.

Follow the show and leave a five-star review. Unless you hated it, in which case your mother was right: some thoughts are best kept to yourself.
