In today's episode, I talk about "shiny object syndrome" and how people often look for the next best thing. People become so focused on what others have that they lose sight of all the incredible things and people they have! Instead of trying to find better, pay attention to what you already have.

We've all heard the quote, "If they wanted to, they would." You might have even used that quote to determine how someone feels about you.

Instead of worrying if someone likes you, ask yourself, “do I like them?” Are they kind? Are they funny? Are they honest? Do they meet your expectations? Do they respect your boundaries?

I started this podcast in 2022 when I decided to start taking social media seriously. I was so afraid of what everyone thought of me (hence why I called it Trying Not to Care), and I wanted to please everyone. I soon realized that no matter what I do, I cannot please everyone. Today’s episode is a reminder to not lose yourself trying to get approval from others. The things someone dislikes you for...

I was taught that keeping quiet kept the peace until I realized whose peace is it keeping? After voicing my opinion in a video last week, I received a few comments that read, "I used to like you, but now I need to unfollow."
