The Authentic 20’s

Hi Friends! Let’s chat and catch up a bit on life and what season you’re in right now. Is it different from last year? Because same. Nothing is the same in my life from last year to this year, AND THAT’S OKAY! Actually that’s probably how it should be. Why would you want to stay the same? It’s okay for us to grow and learn, and that evolving means our bodies might also grow and look different as w...

Ever been in a phase where you don’t feel like you have a purpose? Maybe you’re just going through the ropes of daily life, not super passionate about anything? THAT’S OKAY! Sometimes we have those phases of life to refocus and reprioritize what fills our ‘bucket’ the most.

Lesson #2 for me from this past year was changing my perspective to growth rather than comfortability. The more I sat in the fear and uncomfy spaces, the less fearful I was. When we change our perspective, it becomes our reality.

Self love looks different to each individual depending on their needs and circumstances. My hope is that we all continue to learn about, appreciate, and enjoy the space that we each take up as individuals. Be proud of who you are and what you bring to this world.

Research based podcast this week on the toxic diet culture we live in, and how to repair your relationship with food. :)

Ever sat in front of a mirror and lost track of time as you critiqued your perceived flaws? Or sought out validation for your appearance? Body dysmorphia is a lot more common and degrading than we realize. Working to cultivate a positive and happy relationship with your body can affect both your physical and mental health.

What kind of pain do you enjoy or love? Trick question? Not exactly. Pain can often times push us to the next level of growth and opportunity, but we need to be willing to endure that pain. Whether it’s pain in the gym or in life, embracing the pain can lead you to places you’ve never been.

Bonus guest episode this month with Lindsay and Piper! We chat about the single 20’s life and everything that encompasses, especially lots of dating stories and lessons. :)

This week I share a perspective on the Hope Works talk ‘Seeing Green’ by Jill Thomas. The dating phase brings a rollercoaster of emotions, the happy and the heart break. This ‘Seeing Green’ paradox encourages us to take both contradicting emotions and transcend to a higher and broader way of thinking.

Dating has taught me more lessons than I can count. The good, the hard, and everything in between has taught me valuable lessons that I’ll be forever grateful for. Here are just five of those lessons that I’ve learned.

I’ve noticed recently that there is so much talk about how difficult dating can be, but not about what exactly makes dating difficult. There are so many things people don’t talk about that complicate the dating process. This episode I give space and validation to the tough aspects of dating that don’t get talked about enough.

Bert and Jenny have been some of the most influential people in my life the last few years. They emulate love, understanding, hard work, and always have the best advice for life. Hope you all enjoy learning from their story and how they’ve become their most authentic selves.

This month we’ve been looking at life from a bird’s eye view, and I find that hard to do without bringing God into the mix. Spirituality is just as important to the growth of our authenticity, as our physical or mental health. How is your belief in a higher power influencing you to become your most authentic self?

Hindsight is always 20/20. It can be easy to live in the past and get caught up in all the things you wished you would’ve done, but there’s a reason the rearview mirror is much smaller than the windshield. There are so many more opportunities to grow and learn in the future, but only if we are looking that way. We aren’t able to move forward in life if we are looking backward.

We are simply just humans having a human experience. There is not a right or a wrong way to go about it, but sometimes I think we feel pressure that there is. Sometimes we gotta just ride the wave of life, knowing that our only constant is change, and life will eventually work itself out how it needs to.

Mae is all things good in this world, so this is a chance to hear her story! She shares her journey overcoming anxiety and transitioning into being newly married. She also shares all things aesthetics as she is close to graduating with her license! ENJOY!

We are all well aware that life isn’t ever linear; there are plenty of ups and downs. However, I’m not so sure how well we understand the healing process when life gives us those downs. Just as life isn’t linear, same goes for our healing. The healing process ebbs and flows from good days to bad days. My hope is that we practice bringing a kinder perspective to our healing phases.

Many of us fall under one or more categories for perfectionistic thinking, but do we realize it? Enjoy learning about CBT, a form of therapy that can help challenge our thoughts to think less on autopilot and more in the present moment!

We’re already a month into 2024! How is it going for you? How are you progressing towards those resolutions/goals? Perhaps we overlook such a small principle to helping us achieve our dreams. Manifesting and belief in one’s self can not only help us shoot for the stars, but can also even change the very way we look.

The Authentic 20’s is a start of a new era about reaching our most authentic selves. This episode is a little intro into your host and how this podcast came to be!
