Shit's Hard

An 18-YEAR FRIENDSHIP is a long time! Cassie and I met when we were 5 years old at daycare and the rest is history.

We are talking - sticking to a routine, switching birth controls 3 times in 4 months, and how this Shit is Hard! What products are good vs what’s a waste of money? Yuka has answered this question for m...

New shit is good...right? Sometimes, but with new shit comes change, new routines, my WHOLE schedule is thrown off track!! But we are navigating this new shit together, and we are GUILT-FREE of any missed workouts, less than ideal meals, and money spent during this time of change. We are talking FINANCIAL guilt too, especially around the holidays! Shit we are working on this week: getting organize...

Christmas lights in LA SUCK! But I did spend Christmas on the beach... so I guess I can't complain! Reflecting on holidays changing over the years, getting off track during holidays, AND hosting Christmas dinner, this Shit's Hard!! Let's talk about it.

New Years is RIGHT around the corner...and we are setting some GOALS for 2023, and that Shit is Hard!

Is counting calories educational or detrimental to mental health? Let's talk about this shit. Fitness really IS HARD!! We're talking, feeling ostracized by the fitness community, fitness ~influencers~ and their contribution to the fitness industry, AND creating a positive relationship with fitness, body, and food! Shit we're working on this week: getting my personal training certification :) Don't...

So, 7 months ago I was graduating college in Ohio with a degree in Architecture... and yesterday I went to the Streamys in Los Angeles as an influencer's assistant! Things have been moving pretty fast here and I feel lucky to have a "foot in the door" to the entertainment industry. Today we're talking, personal branding, taking advantage of opportunity, and pitching yourself to peers in the commun...

So, I am spending the holiday season across the country from my family for the FIRST TIME. Lots of feelings on this one.

I've been sick this past week and I am STRUGGLIN. Teetering between feeling guilty for not being productive and trying to get motivated to be productive, shit is indeed HARD. How do you know when to give yourself a break? How do you get motivation? Can a break be productive? Let's talk about it :/

So I got the degree and moved across the county, now what? Post-grad life is starting to make me feel a little lost right now. How do you figure out what you're passionate about? Are you just born knowing it? I feel like I like a lot of things but I don't love one thing. And how do you know the difference between hobbies and passions? Let's talk about it, cause shit's hard :/

Hey, I'm glad you're here! Welcome to Shit's Hard podcast.
