It's New Year's Day 2025! Sharing what I did instead of the usual party scene in addition to a revealing convo I had with Pearl Mashour on the Female Fluence Podcast, where we dive deep into my journey from NBA publicist to author and podcast host. We explore everything from battling rejection to learning how to shine unapologetically, and I break down my SHINE test framework that will help you evaluate whether you should pursue an idea. The conversation covers navigating career transitions and reframing success on your own terms among a ton of other things. Most importantly though, we talk about quitting the habit of playing small and embracing your full potential.
