What if building your PR and visibility strategies could restore you rather than deplete you? What if visibility didn't require constant hustle, but instead honored your sensitivity as a strength?

In this episode, I'm sharing my phrase for 2026—"Restore and Nourish"—and how it's shaping everything I'm building this year, including the launch of the Conscious Collective membership this spring. As a new mom and projector in human design, I've learned that success doesn't come from doing more; it comes from honoring your energy and building visibility strategies that actually align with who you are.

I'm opening up about why sensitive entrepreneurs and leaders deserve to be seen, how to navigate the inevitable "nos" and silence in PR without internalizing them, and what it means to create aligned visibility from a place of restoration rather than depletion.

This episode is an invitation to choose your own word or phrase for the year and to build a business that nourishes you in the process.
