Hey Reader,

If you watched Part 1 of my Crush Your Nerves series, you know the secret to reframing nervousness:

You’re not nervous. You’re excited. (If you missed Part 1, you can catch it here.)

Now in Part 2, I’m sharing how to actually use your nerves to make your performance even more magical and dazzling–by leaning into them, instead of trying to push them away.

👉 That nervous–I mean excited–fizzy, carbonated energy? That actually makes you undeniably watchable on stage or on camera. Make sense? Wanna hear more about this wild idea? 💡

Hot Off My Brain 🧠 & Other Good 💩: A Curated List of Stuff I'm Lovin'
​This is a glimpse into my life, what I'm doing, and what I’m genuinely obsessed with this week—tools, reads, and rituals that are truly lighting me up and making me excited. Some of these links are affiliate, but I’ll always flag them with a 💸 so you know—and I will only ever share stuff I truly love and actually use. Your trust is worth way more to me than a few ill-gotten shekels towards my lukewarm ass-tasting mushroom latte fund, I swear! ✋🏼

📚 What I’m Reading: Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself by Joe Dispenza ( 💸)
→ Total brain rewire. And it’s working. I’ve been a fan of Joe Dispenza since reading Becoming Supernatural ( 💸), but I actually wish I'd read this one first. I just bought the accompanying guided meditations, ( 💸) too–will report back STAT!

📺 What I’m Watching: The Mindvalley Manifesting Summit​
→ So much gold in here (and a few cosmic mic drops). The Summit and replays might be over, but Vishen Lakhiani recap of the top takeaways is bookmarked on my end. Highly recommend as a healthy reminder if you’re manifesting big things. And who isn't??

🎧 What I’m Listening To: Wiser Than Me - Julia Louis-Dreyfus with Jane Fonda​
​ → Julia + Jane = literal icon energy. This premiere episode made me laugh out loud and tear up more than once. They talk aging, regret, activism, sex, legacy—and Jane shares a story about getting heckled by Katherine Hepburn on the set of On Golden Pond.
Bonus rec: Jane Fonda's speech at the 2025 SAG Awards is def worth a watch too.

That's all for now. I want this to be a fun quick read, not a slog through War & Peace! 😂

Let me know if you try any of this stuff—I create it for you, so I’d love to know if it’s landing. 🛬
Also, if there's anything you're curious about that you think I could shed light on - hit me up! 🤙 I do requests!
