Right now, I am the most exhausted I have ever been - this is the hardest I have EVER worked. In this challenging time (#POWERHOUSE31 reference), I am realizing that I am also growing the absolute most. INTENTIONAL DISCOMFORT IS GOOD. P.S. This is the workbook I poured my heart, soul, and all of the night's sleep into.

Tim Bodon, 17 y.o., (IG: @gymmittim) is working towards his first bodybuilding competition in May 2022, having started weightlifting in February of this year. Tim shares his experience with rigorous training (2 hours for upper body day, y'all), as we discuss the importance of discipline and mental strength, as he balances school, bodybuilding, soccer, work, social media, and much more! P.S. Please...

In one word, I would describe myself as a "powerhouse." However, on the daily, I am still powering through impostor syndrome, perfectionism, and being my own worst critic. This episode is released in honor of Week 1 of my #POWERHOUSE31 challenge and collection.  Find my collection here: www. GrowingTogether.store Info about the challenge on my Instagram account @veranothing

Jackie Alice, 18 y.o., (IG: @jackiealicee) is spending her semester studying abroad in New Jersey, U.S., all the way from Germany! Jackie shares her college experience, we compare the two educational systems, gaining insight on how she balances her social media work, volleyball and training, education, and much more :)  P.S. She documents her journey on YouTube and Instagram - be sure to tune...

Every small chance I have ever taken has altered the course of my life forever. I tried out for my school's tennis team, posted my first Instagram reel, and started this podcast. Take chances!

Alex Herbert, 20 y.o., (IG: @_alex_herbert_) is a pianist at Leeds Conservatoire, England, and my first ever podcast guest! Although I do not plan on pursuing a higher education in music myself, it is incredibly refreshing to talk to somebody who practices 6 hours per day... on average, of course. P.S. I think twice about skipping piano practice now.

I am graduating high school early to be a singer-songwriter, and I have no plans on going to college. Let's talk about it!
