So I left most of this unedited and raw, mainly because it was my thoughts and it was unscripted. Hopefully this personal view  on college and being more prepared for transitioning.

Beauty standards is a huge topic for teens, and since we addressed a little in last week's podcast, why not address it in full? It's really difficult talking about appearance, especially since it really is a touchy topic when addressing the things we have been insecure about for so long. I wanted to include three different ways beauty standards and wanting to be the "pretty girl" affected me in my...

I have a guest this week! First guest!! Even better, it's my best friend Mackenzie Smith. In this episode we discuss a range of things, but mainly we spoke about Mackenzie's experience with depression and anxiety, as well as how this played a role in her middle/high school life. WARNING ALL MY LISTENERS: Please, if this topic is sensitive for you, makes you uncomfortable, or triggers any past feel...

I've been a Catholic since the day I was born - I wasn't the most active catholic for a while, though. Growing up is a journey, and my faith was another road I ended up exploring more in depth this past year and a half. This is more or less a recap of what I've been through, and what are some of the greatest things I've come to see or experienced in the time and to come.  One of the biggest things...

We live in a day and age where we can do so much by then push of a button. Public speaking is seen as talking in person in front of big crowds, but it's so much more than that - it's using your voice and being active. I use podcasting as my form of public speaking to get my message across, and I also tell stories which makes it a little more fun. Fifth grade me would be too scared to do this, but...

Marie Kondo and Procrastination are basically unrelated on the surface, but towards the end it makes sense. Procrastinating is a huge issue people deal with in any stage of life, but it just so happens I've nearly overcome this problem myself. I'll talk about how I got over it with some handy tips, and quickly talk about SAT studying and how I used it as my end-to-procrastination tool. Hope you en...

Wow... the school year is nearly over. I think it's crazy how fast the first two years of high school were whisked away, and it's even crazier that it's the half-way point for me. In this podcast I'll be outlining what the past two years have been like for me, including why I joined so many clubs and my focus from here on out. Hopefully some of you can get something out of me rambling about my hig...

My first podcast! I talk about why I started my podcast and finding an outlet as a means to some quarantine motivation. Don't mind the mini stories, though - this goes off-topic a bit! Sorry if it's not the best, hang in there with me :)
