Are you healing single or are you hurting single? Are you afraid to ask yourself that question? To be honest, it’s ok if you are hurting single because that’s actually the first step towards healing single. Now what does that even mean? Hurting single is when you’ve closed yourself off to dating, you’re saying “f” this, “f” that, and romance just gets on your nerves. Dating itself can be hard but...

Feelings. We all have them and to be honest, sometimes they suck. Sometimes you just want to let them all out as soon as they hit you right then and there.

That’s the thing with feelings; not only do we have to learn how to deal with them but also when. However, life is about learning how to...

This week's episode is on being a "pick me," being desperate, and unappreciated.

Sometimes we’re ashamed of this. The part of us that may be seen as ugly, negative, or undesirable. Sure, this part of us may not always be appropriate to show in a situation but it is still there somewhere inside ourselves. This is our shadow side. In this episode, we talk about that shadow side of us and debunk the need to get rid of it. Instead, we talk about having a relationship with it and h...

We self-sabotage our goals, our finances, and even our relationships without really thinking about what consequences it could have in the long run. In reality, self-sabotaging is ve...

Sometimes you just want to give someone the benefit of the doubt because you think they’ll eventually be on the same page as you. Sometimes you see something in them and want to wait until they do, too. Sometimes you just look past the red, inconsistent flags they’ve been throwing from the beginning because you hope that eventually they will see their own potential the way you do. However, sometim...

Mindset shapes the way we think about love, money, goals, and everything else in our lives. This is why it’s important to pay attention to our self talk and daily habits and ask ourselves if they’re working for or against us.

No it’s not that kind of “T” today. Although this “T” should still be served hot with care and pure facts. We’re talking about trust. It’s a simple enough word that holds a lot of weight on its own but still so fragile at the same time. With this being said, we have to wonder how easily we give away our trust to certain people and just how difficult it is to repair if it is broken. In this episode...

You would think giving and receiving advice is easy right? That when someone gives you advice it’s usually harmless or helpful? That they told you this because they have your best interest in mind? However, that’s not always the case. Not everyone is in the best position to give you advice, whether it’s someone secretly hating on you, or they don’t want to see you doing better than them, or they d...
