Season Finale!
On today's episode, I talk about how you can transform your anxiety, nerves, and fear into excitement so you can tap into your courage and boldy just go for it.
On this episode, we explore the reasons why we tend to overshare, from seeking connection to feeling vulnerable, and discuss the potential consequences of sharing too much information.
If you so badly wish to be out of your caterpillar phase and into your butterfly era ..where you are flourishing in your own life…then this episode is for you.
On the episode, I talk about what it really means to be a high-value woman, how you can become one, the common traits…. AND the number one fear all high-value women have in common.
This episode is all about who you need to become so you feel confident enough to spread your wings + fly (and thrive & flourish).
On the Episode, I talk all about how being direct is not rude or impolite and how it is a powerful skill that can improve your relationships with those in your community and environment.
2024, my biggest change year yet.
And no, I did not anticipate this at the start of it.
If one thing was for certain, it was that I promised myself to be bold enough to believe in myself + yet brave enough to dream big + follow up with big action.
A lot of people will talk a big talk about going after what they want- but few actually commit.
Do you stay with comfort + complacency or create change for new opportunities?
There is so much fear in letting things go and realizing when it’s time to act on stagnation in our lives.
On the episode, I talk about how + why I decided to completely overhaul major aspects in life and why you need to eliminate things in order to expand.
This was a HUGE realization for me. I was busy but stagnant. I was in a great place financially, but knew I can be capable of more. I realized how the comfort I was feeling was making me complacent and that I needed major changes in order to move forward.
I also realized that it was time to face the hard truth… which was that I needed to do a major inventory and let go of things in my life that no longer aligned with what I wanted. I needed to do this so it could create SPACE for the things that I do want.
I also talk about how scaling back helped me create so much clarity by realigning me with what I truly want. This has made me SO clear and committed to building my new vision.
Whether you need to change your perspective, your environment, or break up with the past version of you.. it's important to understand that you are never stuck. On the episode, we talk about how you are always one decision away from changing your life ... and why you should do so.

Book: Coming soon, 2025!
On today's episode, we talk about how every new goal that you set for yourself requires for you to show up differently.
Many of us "change warriors" .. championing for change, are hungry and eager to create disruptive events that push us out of our comfort zones... but in reality, how many of us actually are making the next move once we've outgrown our current environments?
It's crucial to evaluate your goals, values, and aspirations to determine if a change is necessary for your continued development and well-being.
I’m back with another season here on the Elle Potential Podcast and tonight I talk about breaking free from antiquated concepts that were once frowned upon in the work force.
On the episode, I talk about why you shouldn’t feel ashamed of stepping into a position of authority to take charge of increasing your financial well-being.
With the cost of living being on the rise, side hustles have become the new norm.
43% of full-time employees in America say they now have a lucrative side hustle. That’s almost half of the workforce.
If order to achieve financial freedom, you need to increase your level of financial literacy.
Educating, empowering, and harnessing yourself with experience enables you to grow your assets and multiply your streams of income.
Whether you're navigating professional challenges, seeking personal growth, or simply looking to boost your overall well-being, this episode is a guide on how to build your confidence.
Tune in for an empowering conversation that will leave you inspired, motivated, and armed with actionable strategies to build and sustain the confidence you deserve. It's time to step into your full potential and embark on a journey towards unshakeable self-assurance.
On the episode, we talk about what science has to say about HORMONES and BEHAVIOR. Hormones play a big role in our lives. As women, our bodies go through 4 different phases each month.
So let's talk high-level about how our hormones:
- impact our moods
- challenge our balance
- heighten our response and reactions
- prevent us from using our best judgement
The menstrual cycle typically consists of four phases: menstrual, follicular, ovulatory, and luteal. Here's how each phase may affect behavior:
- Menstrual Phase (Days 1-5):
- Hormones: Estrogen and progesterone are at their lowest.
- Physical Symptoms: Menstruation, fatigue, and lower energy levels.
- Behavioral Impact: Some individuals may experience mood changes, irritability, or fatigue. Emotions may be more variable during this phase.
- Follicular Phase (Days 6-14):
- Hormones: Estrogen begins to rise.
- Physical Symptoms: Increased energy levels and a generally more positive mood.
- Behavioral Impact: Improved mood, higher energy, and increased social interaction. Cognitive abilities may be enhanced.
- Ovulatory Phase (Days 15-17):
- Hormones: Estrogen peaks, and there may be a surge in luteinizing hormone (LH).
- Physical Symptoms: Increased libido and possible mild bloating.
- Behavioral Impact: Higher confidence, enhanced communication skills, and an increased interest in social activities. Some individuals may experience an increased attraction to potential mates.
- Luteal Phase (Days 18-28):
- Hormones: Estrogen decreases, and progesterone increases.
- Physical Symptoms: Possible bloating, breast tenderness, and mood swings.
- Behavioral Impact: Some individuals may experience mood changes, irritability, and heightened sensitivity. There may be increased cravings for certain foods and a tendency to seek comfort.
It's important to note that not everyone will experience the same behavioral changes during each phase. Additionally, factors such as stress, lifestyle, and overall health can also influence how the menstrual cycle affects behavior.
In today's episode, we talk about the elegant power of leading with your femininity contrary to the stereotypical view on femininity being seen as less powerful than masculinity.
We discuss how you can still be poised, feminine and have powerful impact. Fully embrace your femininity, lead with grace.. and still be taken seriously.
