TGIF! She’s got her spark back!!!! Post Christmas catch up, what I’m doing for NYE, & then I dive into this week’s episode… I’m breaking down the habit pyramid- why the smallest, most “unsexy” habits are actually the foundation for lasting results in your health, fitness journey, and life.

Today’s episode is a life update mixed with a deep dive into my hypothyroidism journey. I’m opening up about recently becoming single and how that shift has intersected with managing my health and overall well-being.

In today’s episode, I’m taking you through my full Accutane journey!!! the highs, the lows, the side effects, and the reality behind clearing my skin. If you’ve ever struggled with acne, felt overwhelmed by conflicting information online, or wondered whether Accutane is worth it, this episode breaks everything down in a way that’s honest, vulnerable, and actually helpful. I walk through why I decided to start Accutane, the emotional side of dealing with acne as an adult, what the process looked like month-to-month, and the exact wellness habits and lifestyle shifts that helped me navigate dryness, purging, & breakouts.
