Welcome to the very first episode of Unapologetically Wild! Today’s episode is extra special as I launch this podcast on what would have been my dad’s 85th birthday. He taught me to live unapologetically wild, to trust myself, and to figure life out by doing—not waiting. In this episode, I’m sharing the moments, lessons, and leaps that led me here. From learning how to change a tire on I-95 at 16 to quitting a 13-year nursing career to live life on my terms, my journey has been anything but conventional. Through all the twists and turns, the fears and failures, I’ve learned that you don’t need the perfect plan to create a life you love—you just need to be willing to take the first step. If you’ve ever felt stuck, scared, or unsure about your next move, you’re in the right place. In this episode:

• How my dad inspired the Unapologetically Wild mindset.
• The value of figuring life out by doing—not waiting.
• Why taking action (even when scared) is the key to growth.
• How I left nursing, bought an RV, and started a business from scratch.
• Why living unapologetically wild doesn’t require a grand leap—it can start with small steps.

Take Action: What’s one small step you can take today toward the life you want? It doesn’t have to be perfect or planned—just start!
