My Jay Talk

WE MADE IT TO THE END OF SEASON 1 OF MY JAY TALK!!!!!!! I am so blessed to have talked with you all this year, and what better way to sum it all up than doing a year in review? 2022 was stellar, bring on 2023!

Some of them have had their own episodes, and some of them have been discussions between me and friends. Today I am ranking all 18 books I read during this year (yes, I hit my goal of 12 books that I mentioned so many times this season).

WE LOVE A GOOD STORYTIME EPISODE! I wanted to have some fun today, and share with you guys some stories that altered my brain chemistry (yes like the TikTok trend). 

In the upcoming weeks, I challenge you to define the expectations you have for your life and chase after them with all you have. I also challenge you to drop the expectations of others and stop trying to please people who shouldn't have a say in what you should be.

Today we are getting our planning caps on and starting to build our future plans for the upcoming new year!

It's the most wonderful time of the year! AND the most stressful, and why does everyone seem rude? UGH! The true holiday meaning can get lost in the bustle of trying to rush around and make things perfect, so today we are going to talk about how to be more kind and more organized to make the MOST out of the holidays this year!

Thanksgiving is right around the corner, let's talk about it!

Ah yes, the most wonderful time of the year...where the sun sets at 5pm. It can be so hard to remain productive when we look out our windows and it's pitch black. But, there are ways to combat this and continue having a productive and less stressful last couple months of the year!

"I am better than no one, and no one is better than I" 

WHEW! We are on a lot of journeys aren't we! The journey to happiness is one I think most people need to take because it is so easy to get overwhelmed and sad in our world now-a-days. This is where I have started, and remember- it's never too late to start your own!

We've talked about love and relationships a few times on here, but I created a challenge for myself to enjoy being single for a whole year. Literally, April 2022 to April 2023. I am officially over halfway through my challenge of single season, and boy have I learned a lot! This is the halfway checkpoint, and we will do a recap of the whole year once it's over!

I think this may be the first time we have really talked about anything historical! I had never read The Diary of Anne Frank and wanted to, and boy does it get you thinking. Not only about the people who went through these tragic events, but also how you as a person respond to adversity and how you treat people who are different from you. This week's episode is all about my thoughts so far about t...

A chapter ends and then it's time to reflect on the lessons we are bringing with us into the next one. Lessons I learned from retail has 6 things that will help me professionally and personally, and I hope they help you too!

I have mentioned my thoughts on comparison a few differnet times, but with some things I've seen scrolling and talking to friends I realized it was time for it's own episode!

Episode one in a "who knows how many" series on leadership! The most important rule: leaders are team players!

I should've put "get podcast episode out" on my to-do list so that it would have been done Saturday instead of Monday! Today we are talking about how harnessing the power of the to-do list makes you more productive and helps free up some of your mind!

Beginning of the month means a recap and look ahead! Let's get through the last few months of the year and continue to thrive!

Who are you outside of work and school? Outside of the obligations of life? What do you LIKE to do? Hobbies are important because they are a part of who we are at the core. In today's episode we are talking about why they are important and why you should get some of your own!

Sometimes the things I talk about are things that weigh heavy on my heart, and today's episode is one that I have been thinking about a ton. I wanted to talk about the importance of showing you care and the importance of having people in your life that show they care.

We are living in a time where patience and hardwork can sometimes be overlooked in the pursuit of our goals, and sometimes our biggest road block is... ourselves. Where are you standing in the pursuit of your own goals?

We are all about self growth and betterment here at My Jay Talk. And one of the best ways to get better is to get coached, all professionals have gotten coached one way or another, and some of the greatest people to have lived continued being coached their entire lives. Listen now and figure out how you can become coachable!

Hold up! I know it's not quite fall yet, BUT, life seasons change so often it can be hard to predict when the next change is coming. Being prepared, yet flexible is key and we are going to talk about that today!

From the mind of Jayden Darnell, in true JayTalk fashion we are talking about something I am extremely passionate about and something that has been a topic of conversation between me and my friends this past week.

Can you tell a passion of mine is healing and becoming the best version of yourself? In today's episode we are talking about ways you can naturally hack your dopamine without turning to harmful and unhealthy solutions. Feel better long term and do something that will help you out first.
