This week on Boss Bitch Radio, I’m sitting down with my incredible client (and now friend) Xtine Cardenas - coach, mom of twins, digital nomad, and badass competitor. We chat about her path from long-time listener to stepping on her first bodybuilding stage, how she made competing fit her lifestyle, and all the mindset shifts along the way. It’s raw, real, and full of nuggets for any woman walking the line between ambition and alignment. You're gonna love this one!

Ever wondered what really goes down on a lifestyle cruise? In this spicy sequel, I’m sharing real talk and wild stories from glow nights to playrooms—and yes, we went to a workshop about orgies. 👀 You’ll hear about boundaries, consent, and how curiosity (plus communication) has totally shifted how I vacation—and live. It’s the unfiltered tea from your trainer BFF who tells it like it is. Not safe for work or little ears—grab your headphones and let's go there!

Okay, icons—grab your headphones and settle in. This episode is not safe for work or little ears, but it is full of juicy reflections, personal growth, and behind-the-scenes tea from my recent Bliss Cruise experience. From body image and non-monogamy to intimacy, curiosity, and conversations most people are too shy to have—I’m sharing it all. Think of this as the girlfriend chat you didn’t know you needed. Let’s explore what happens when you finally unplug and lean into your own liberation.
