What does it really mean to be rich?

In a world that constantly tells us to chase more money, bigger milestones, and the next level of success, it's easy to believe that our happiness is waiting on the other side of our next paycheck. But what if we've been measuring wealth all wrong?

In this episode of Raising Serotonin, I'm challenging the idea that money is the ultimate definition of success. While financial freedom is important, I believe the richest parts of our lives are often the ones that can't be bought, our relationships, health, purpose, memories, community, and the simple moments that make life meaningful.

We'll talk about why comparison steals our joy, how social media shapes our perception of success, and why investing in your "other accounts" can create a life that feels full long before your bank account reaches a certain number.

If you've ever found yourself thinking, "I'll be happy when...", this episode is your reminder to pause, take inventory of everything you already have, and recognize just how rich your life truly is.

Summer has always been my favorite season, but over the years I've realized how easy it is to put pressure on myself to make it "perfect."

In this episode, I'm sharing a reminder that summer doesn't have to be packed with expensive vacations, nonstop plans, or picture-perfect moments to be meaningful.

Instead, I'm inviting you to define what this season looks like for you. We talk about creating a summer that aligns with your current season of life, scheduling things that genuinely bring you joy, reconnecting with the simple things you loved as a child, and learning how to be present instead of performative.

If you've been feeling the pressure to do more, this episode will encourage you to slow down, focus on what matters most, and create a summer that feels good on your terms.

In this episode of Raising Serotonin, I’m diving into a mindset that I keep seeing all over social media lately: “it’s not that deep.” And honestly? I don’t agree.

I talk about why I think this mindset can sometimes become a way for people to emotionally check out of their own lives, avoid vulnerability, avoid failure, or stay small when things feel hard. Because the truth is… your life is that deep. Your healing is that deep. Your goals, relationships, growth, purpose, and the way you spend your time all matter.

I open up about discomfort, anxiety, grad school, growth, and what it actually means to put yourself out there even when you’re scared.

We talk about why meaningful change requires effort, why staying comfortable can keep us stuck, and why becoming the person you want to be is supposed to ask something of you.

If you’ve been feeling afraid to take the next step, questioning your path, or minimizing your own dreams because someone else told you it “wasn’t that serious,” this episode is your reminder that your one life matters, and you deserve to fully show up for it.
