By Caya The Podcast


Ep. 66 | Season Two: We Came, We Grew, We Napped
We’re closing out season two with some beachside reflections on rest, routines, and the art of slowing down. From the exhaustion of “doing nothing” to the small rituals that keep us grounded, this one’s all about finding balance in the in-between.
We’re also looking back at how far we’ve come, and forward to what’s next — new ideas, new guests, maybe even a virtual summit. Thank you, CAYA Crew, for being part of this journey.

Ep. 65 | Confidence Looks Good on You
We’re talking heat waves, Beyoncé concerts, and the art of actually letting yourself enjoy the good stuff. From messy workdays to unpredictable weather, we’re finding the joy in the chaos and celebrating the little moments that make life brighter.
Concerts, fashion, and self-expression all make their way into this one too — because sometimes the right outfit (and the right song) can shift everything. It’s about joy, confidence, and showing up as your truest self.
