This week on Luxury of Self-Care, I'm giving you the confidence boost to negotiate like a pro—whether you're freelancing, negotiating contracts, content creating, or applying for a new job. Too often we undervalue our expertise, but asking for what you're worth is never something to shy away from. The worst they can say is “not in the budget,” the best is they meet you halfway—or give you exactly what you asked for.

This week, Spotlight secured a decisive victory in the High Court against Equity, with Justice Howells ruling that Spotlight is NOT an employment agency - and never has been. The case centred on whether Spotlight's platform for performers counts as an “employment agency.” The court confirmed Spotlight simply provides tools for actors to market themselves, not to find work on their behalf. Spotlight's MD, Matt Hood, called the ruling “a testament to the integrity of our operations” - and accused Equity of wasting actors' time, money and resources on a “cynical, performative” legal stunt. Join us live as we unpack exactly what happened, what it means for actors, and where Spotlight & Equity go from here… Not an Act On This member yet?

This week on the Luxury of Self-Care, I'm sharing how I've been tackling my to-do list without letting it control me. Instead of drowning in “I still have to do this… and that,” I've started orchestrating my tasks in the "Notes" app so I can see everything at once and fit it into my schedule with intention—no more anxiety spirals, just steady progress.And because life always throws in surprises, I also had to squeeze in an unexpected vet trip when our pomsky, Meiko developed an infected anal gland (yep, you read that right). It was scary at first, but she was a total rockstar and earned five stars for bravery. In this episode, I share the full (and hilarious) play-by-play of her treatment and how moments like these remind me she's our baby—especially after our miscarriages.Tune in for a mix of practical self-care strategies and an honest peek into real life's curveballs.

Habits often get the best of us. When habits and routines are intentional we see shifts and growth, other habits can hold us back.

This week, I'm getting real about the emotional aftermath from my birthday weekend blowup with my husband—and how we're learning to rewire our communication patterns. We've started to recognize how fear shows up in the form of frustration, and how yelling isn't always anger—it's often a cry for reassurance. We're shifting from blame to understanding, from control to compassion. This episode is all about learning how to motivate your partner instead of manipulate, and how mutual encouragement can shift the energy in your relationship. Plus: the couch saga that brought us closer instead of causing more conflict!Follow Your Host:Insta:https://www.instagram.com/rumor_in_stpetersburg TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@rumor_in_stpetersburg FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/theluxuryofselfcare Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/user/ahnastasia88?si=ab36621742b4474cPhoto and Music Credit: Cover Art Photography by Tori Radick: https://www.instagram.com/toricophotography/Intro/Outro Music Produced by Ryan Blivhovde: https://www.instagram.com/ryanblihovde/

Under his leadership, the association has become a powerful force for protecting property owners, raising professional standards, and advancing consumer education.In this episode, Nick shares why understanding the difference between a licensee and a REALTOR® is essential—not just for navigating the process, but for protecting your rights.

Often we lean to the blame game. Or the mundane recycling of the phrase, "they don't do this, they don't do that". Why is it that we often look for the worst, or the thing to complain about, versus the things we love, the balance it creates, the joyful moments?As I pondered on this phrase myself, I realized theres many things I do enjoy, cherish and appreciate. Today I'm encouraging us all to take that step back and try and do the same. It's definitely more challenging than leaning towards the negative or the blame game. But it's a better outcome for everyone else in the end.

In this special anniversary episode, I reflect on three years of marriage — the lessons, the love, and the layers we've built along the way. From the symbolism of leather and what it means to endure, to the ways we've grown as individuals and partners, this is a deeply personal look at what it really takes to make it through.I open up about the joys and challenges we've faced, how we've continued to choose each other through change, and the rituals we're creating to celebrate love in a real, intentional way. Whether you're newly married or deep in the journey, this episode is a warm, honest invitation to pause and reflect on the relationships that shape us most.I also share a few gift ideas, reflection prompts, and plans for a special night with my husband — a reminder that love is built in the small, consistent moments just as much as the big ones.Follow Your Host:Insta:https://www.instagram.com/rumor_in_stpetersburg TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@rumor_in_stpetersburg FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/theluxuryofselfcare Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/user/ahnastasia88?si=ab36621742b4474cPhoto and Music Credit: Cover Art Photography by Tori Radick: https://www.instagram.com/toricophotography/Intro/Outro Music Produced by Ryan Blivhovde: https://www.instagram.com/ryanblihovde/
