Wild & Basic

I got asked about this quite a lot lately and I thought it would be interesting to make an episode about it. NYC is such an interesting city, but it is also very a difficult place to live. There is always that honeymoon stage with every place, but after a while dust settles in and we realize the true experience of living in this place. I think that's exactly what happened with me & NYC and overtim...

In this episode, we take a deep dive into the topic of hate comments on social media. We discuss the impact that hate comments can have on mental health and self-esteem, as well as the prevalence of online bullying. We also explore the root causes of hate comments and how we can work together to promote empathy and kindness online. Throughout the episode, we provide real-life examples of hate comm...

In this episode, we will explore the excitement and challenges of moving to a new city. From the excitement of discovering a new place to the difficulties of adjusting to a new environment, we will discuss the various emotions that come with this transition. We'll discuss topics such as: * Finding a new community: how to meet new people and make friends in a new place. * Adjusting to a new culture...

Guess what? I'm back from the hiatus. I had to take a much-needed break to re-evaluate the future of this podcast, but also deal with my move to Miami. So we have a lot to catch up on and I can't wait to share it with you. I'm finally going to be doing video episodes this season so make sure to tune in on Spotify and Youtube or listen as usual on all other platforms.  Apple Podcasts: http://apple....

Whether we ask for it or not, we get comments on social media. Some can be very uplifting and helpful, but others can be very hurtful and demeaning. It is quite hard to point out if they are actually being genuine or not, hence this is where we end up hurt or personally attacked.  Please subscribe and leave a review on audio platforms as well :) Apple Podcasts: http://apple.co/2TF3VnS Spotify: htt...

Breakups are probably one of the hardest things one has to go through so I just wanted to share my thoughts on how I'm doing after mine and hopefully, this will shed a light on some of you who are going through the same.  Please subscribe and leave a review on audio platforms as well :) Apple Podcasts: http://apple.co/2TF3VnS Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2AfNQia Google Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3pmXw0...

There's always something new going on social media so I thought I should turn this into a series and talk about it once in a while so we all stay up to date on what's going on.  Please subscribe and leave a review on audio platforms as well :) Apple Podcasts: http://apple.co/2TF3VnS Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2AfNQia Google Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3pmXw09 Amazon: https://amzn.to/2FKeu5X Follow the...

You know that phrase "don't judge the book by its cover" well sadly a lot of us do that. We end up believing that our opinions about people, places, or things are facts hence our reality gets distorted. After a while, we have a hard time making a distinction between our judgment and facts.  Please subscribe and leave a review on audio platforms as well :)  Apple Podcasts: http://apple.co/2TF3VnS ...

Once again I'm talking about social media and I thought I could add this to my next series of episodes about social media. There's always something to talk about since it is always changing and we're evolving through social media so I thought it would be important to update my thoughts on that.  Please subscribe and leave a review on audio platforms as well :)  Apple Podcasts: http://apple.co/2TF3...

I'm back from my road trip so it is time to dish on all the things that I did during it and also talk about some influencer drama that happened while I was away. It made me think it would be interesting to talk about how different being an influencer is versus a regular 9-to-5 job and how it is almost incomparable.  Please subscribe and leave a review on audio platforms as well :)  Apple Podcasts:...

I know I have talked about this topic before, but I realized I haven't covered everything. I don't think I will ever be able to cover it in one episode so I decided to turn this into a series so I can talk about it regularly about my experience working with brands. This is not meant to bash brands or anything, but it is more to educate the up-and-coming creators and even current ones so there are...

I know how the title of this episode sounds, but hear me out. This is not one of those pessimist sob stories. Preparing for the worst can be actually very useful for the future; whatever that future would be either a change of careers, new responsibilities, or simply a change of scenery. We don't have to necessarily think that worst is always going to happen but think of it like the insurance you...

New York Fashion Week just concluded its shows for this year and I thought it would be interesting to talk about what really goes behind the scenes, how one gets invited, what happens at parties, and lastly how one networks through all this. It's quite a process and for sure not for everyone, but if you're interested in going to the shows or just wanted to hear what it is like to go to NYFW this i...

Ever heard of the phrase "don't judge the book by its cover" well, that's exactly what we do in our society. As much as we say looks, money, job whatever it may be doesn't matter, in reality, it does hence first impressions are everything and it is hard to change that. I thought this would be an interesting topic to talk about as recently I experienced this myself. It's been maybe barely 2 weeks s...

Therapy is something that I think is truly so valuable at every stage of our lives, some more than others. This episode isn't necessarily just about therapy, but more about why sometimes we need it and do actually have to return so we can have a good mental state of mind. This is not to say we are a failure or we can't handle what life throws at us, but it is to say we need a check-up just like we...

Responsibilities? Ugh, who wants that am I right?! If we look closely though, responsibilities are the way that we learn the big lessons in life or get the biggest rewards that we never thought we could. Responsibilities help us break our shells so we can get out of our comfort zone and start challenging ourselves for bigger and better things.

I know a lot of us get intimated by creating content and even some of us who have been doing this for a long time start to question our craft. It might be easier to said than done, but everything comes down to balance and that's what we are talking about it today. Content creation is just like any other job and what I mean by that is it will feel like a job from time to time, but just like any oth...

As much as we don't want to admit it, we tend to associate fame with money, but in reality, these two things don't usually come together. It certainly could, but it doesn't happen automatically as most people think. It's all about how you go about it and how one could use fame to better their future.  Please subscribe and leave a review on audio platforms as well :)  Apple Podcasts: http://apple.c...

We've all been there. When someone you work with gets a promotion or someone gets a job that you always dreamed of then the comparison starts. This is referred to as social comparison and it might seem like maybe a healthy way to push yourself to do better, but in reality, it makes you feel bad about yourself and that it no longer becomes a healthy competition. Instead, it just turns into enviousn...

We have all been there either we took a long vacation or the sickness got the best in us. In my case, it was COVID. So I definitely didn't plan on it and having to take a break from my usual routine on top of being back from a short trip was tough. So I thought I could make an episode about how to get back on track with our usual routines.  Athletic Greens is giving our listeners a FREE 1-year sup...

Regrets are something that could set us back and almost makes us feel like we messed up and there is no way to fix it. The truth is there is technically no way to just go back and fix it, but there are ways to deal with it so you can move on and make better choices that you won't regret. In fact, you should think of regrets as part of life so you don't take them too seriously. This is not to say n...

From the outside, everything might look picture-perfect and seem like it just all came together in that one moment like it was so easy to do, but I'm here to tell you that's far from the truth when it comes to creating content. There are so many moving parts and it obviously depends on the type of the content. One could create all by themselves technically, but there are some types of content that...

Contrary to what most people think what you share on social media is important regardless of if you have a huge audience or not because the truth is times have changed and brands are looking. Social media managers, PR people you name it they are spending countless hours on Instagram, TikTok or YouTube to find their next talent and it's not about the numbers anymore. It's about the content. Well th...

In the beginning stages of a new relationship, we tend to get super excited and it becomes overwhelming and consuming. We start to spend all of our time and attention on that relationship and tend to neglect the other relationships we have built including our family. I think everyone at one point is guilty of this so don't feel like you're the only one, but it is important to not let this exciteme...
