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.
