In this emotional episode, my sister, best friend, and I dive deep into the topic of relationships. It’s easy to lose yourself in order to please someone you love; it’s easy to suppress who you really are in order to make a relationship work. Sure, relationships require compromise, but not when it requires you to lose who you are at your core. In this episode, we discuss our most beautiful and our...

Life is full of unexpected twists and turns that forces you to veer off course. But, what if this new path is the exact path you’re meant to be on? If you currently are finding yourself at the end of a chapter, rather than sulk about what could have been, channel that energy into creating your next chapter; channel that energy into creating what CAN be. It’s time you reconnected with your soul and...

Take a moment to reflect on the life you’re living right now. Are you happy? Are you compromising bits and pieces of yourself to please others? Is your soul happy? If you’re currently feeling stuck, restricted, or suffocated in your life, then this episode is for you. Life is too short to suppress who we really are at our core. Start listening to the little voice you typically ignore in the back o...

When someone you love has died, a hole in your heart forms that never heals. Instead, your body learns to adapt to this hole and learns how to keep you alive despite the agony. The grief we experience when someone dies seems so suffocating, but we learn how to manage the pain as time goes on. In this episode, I discuss various ways to turn your grief into something magical. I’ve learned how to sto...

We’ve all encountered that one asshole early in the morning, or the person that cut you off while driving, or that person that seems to be rude for no apparent reason. What we see is a person lashing out. What we don’t see, however, is the pain, sadness, loss, grief, anxiety, or financial struggles that person may be going through. It’s easy to fight fire with fire, but what will that accomplish?...

We all have big dreams for ourselves. We all have the tendency to get lost in a day dream or get excited about that future life that hasn't happened yet. We all PLAN for a successful future, but many of us don't go that extra step to MAKE that successful future come to fruition. In this episode, I talk about the overwhelm I'm currently feeling with all of the projects I'm working on, the dreams I...

We all have that person or group of people that we let get under our skin. Grudges have the power to bring so much anger and rage into our own lives and have the potential to negatively affect our mental health. We allow grudges to subconsciously affect our thoughts, actions, and social media posts in an attempt to show the people that have hurt us what they are missing out on. In this episode, I...

To me, setting a New Year's Resolution is just a fad. Companies, gyms, and studios feed off of the "New Year, New You" motto to get you to buy more products or sign up for a new subscription. As evolutionary creatures, we're always trying to find ways to improve ourselves, and it's easy to fall into a commercial trap. To me, everyday is January 1st, and every day is a new opportunity to re-invent...

Growth and change are terrifying. It’s easy to do what’s comfortable rather than shifting towards what makes us uncomfortable. In this episode, I’m joined by my lovely sister to discuss her current study abroad experience. To grow as individuals into the people we’ve always dreamed of becoming, we have to be willing to sacrifice and take risks. If you feel like you’re stuck in the same day to day...

Anxiety manifests differently within each and every one of us. But no matter what your anxiety may look like, ALL of our anxiety stems from fear of the unknown; anxiety is born through worry, fear, and angst. In this episode, I talk about how my anxiety was born, and how I've learned to tell it to f*** off when it decides to show up during the most inconvenient times. This time of year can bring a...

My discussions or interactions regarding body image has primarily been with females. UNTIL NOW! In this episode, I'm joined by my co-worker and friend, Ryan, and we discuss body image struggles from a male's perspective. We discuss lame diet fads, shady schemes associated with workout programs, healthy diets, fitness, and the macho-man persona male's are typically expected to uphold. This episode...

With today’s hustle and bustle, it’s easy to neglect our own needs and wants. I constantly feel the need to channel all of my energy towards my day’s tasks and to ensure that my immediate family is always taken care of. If you prioritize others before yourself or if you’re not that great at scheduling in some “me time” during each and every day, I encourage you to take a listen to this episode. It...

Everyone's relationship with his or her body image is unique. As a society, we strive to look a certain way, act a certain way, and become someone we're not because of a variety of influential factors. On this episode, I had the lovely opportunity to talk with Caitlin and Terra from mmapod (look them up!), and they discussed their own struggles revolving around their perceived body image. Irregard...

We've all probably had that one day (or multiple days) where it seems like literally nothing is going right. In this episode, I talk about facing adversity head on while still allowing yourself time to properly process any deep rooted emotions caused by your adversity. Like most of us, I'm learning how to recognize sadness, frustration, and anger, and I'm allowing myself time to properly FEEL thes...

In this emotional episode, I tell the story about the death of my dad and how that experience has drastically changed my life. Death is both terrifying and calming. Death is both suffocating and enabling; death is multifaceted, and my dad's death has taught me that good can be found amidst all of the bad. If you're dealing with grief, or simply have a fear of losing a loved one or dying, I encoura...

Too often, we confuse perception with reality; we allow our perceptions to dictate what's real and what's not. In this episode, I talk about my perception of my body image, both good and bad, and how that image was created from my environment. If you're struggling with , thinking about, or placing a large emphasis on the way you look, then sit back, relax, and absorb this episode. Happy Listening!...

In this episode, I'm joined by my lovely roommate, good friend, and co-worker Sofia. We rant about the meaning of self love and how that meaning can differ from person to person. If you need a good laugh or are simply just looking for ways you can improve your self-care routine, then sit back, relax, and press play. Happy Listening!
