what a time: getting you across campus (and beyond) one pep talk at a time

Jealously has been a sneaky side effect of the pandemic. It's easy to think that someone has it better than you when there are all different levels of school and work opening for fall. Jealously can actually be used in a really positive way if you know what to do with it. Today's pep-talk, I share how a moment of jealously helped me and how you can use it to get what you want in your life.

This **bonus** meditation comes at the request of a listener. Frustrated? Annoyed? Feel like every day is groundhogs day? Cool. Me too.

The pandemic has turned college admissions upside down. Without SAT/ACT scores, extracurriculars, and with semesters of pass/fail grades, the traditional admissions rubric no longer works.

Do you dissect everything when you start talking to someone you’re interested in? Do the beginning stages of getting to know someone feel confusing?

Afraid to go after the things that you want? I get it. Today's episode is all about putting yourself out there.

Enjoy the episode!

Anyone have the back-to-school scaries? In this episode, I talk about how anxiety and excitement are two sides of the same coin. We dig deep into how transition is like updating your phone... and what it means to set school year resolutions.

There are a lot of different topics when it comes to dating/relationships so this is an overview of relationships in general! I chat about the vulnerability it takes to be in relationships, share my own vulnerability stories (even though it's hard!), how authenticity plays in, and, of course, the Boston College dating assignment.

Today's pep-talk is on the myth of the freshman 15. My friend Erin says, "If you want to know about a person and how they treat themselves, pay attention to how they feed themselves." There are so many changes that happen in college including how you eat. What if we thought about food relating to self-love? This episode is centered around how we nourish ourselves!
