Something new is coming 👀

I’m so excited to share that The Plot Twist Podcast: Tales of Transformation from Life’s Messier Moments is launching soon.
This podcast is about the unexpected turns that change us — the diagnoses, heartbreaks, career pivots, reinventions, and quiet internal reckonings that shape who we become.

Through real stories and psychology-informed conversations, we’ll explore how people move from disruption to growth… and what resilience actually looks like in real time.

Will also be answering listener questions and discussing real life plot twists! Submit questions by DM for consideration.

We’ll be publishing on Spotify and everywhere you get your podcasts very soon.

The next time anxiety spikes, try picking up a book instead of your phone. Your brain and mood will thank you.
