SOLITA: Notes on Tears & Chaos

Happy birthday to me! I recently turned 23, which means I had to commemorate the new age with a new era in my life. For this episode, I'm shedding my skin and speaking out about all of the challenges I faced being 22. Breaking all of these toxic habits won't be an overnight fix, but the first step to healing and growing is to face my internal struggles head on. If you prefer to watch only:...

Being alone is something I'm very familiar with, but that doesn't mean I'm not afraid of it. In this episode, we're discussing how to grow comfortable with our own company and alleviate ourselves from the fear of being alone. Time alone can not only help us heal from our past traumas, but also help us develop healthier relationships in the future with others and ourselves. If you p...

Saying goodbye is one of the hardest human experiences we all have to go through, but how will we really know when it's our last time with someone? Most people seek closure for a sense of finality, but in this episode I discuss why closure doesn't actually exist. How do we cope with the end of something without needing to prolong the situation?

When is it time to quit? In this episode, we'll discuss the complicated realm of careers and the job market. What role do our jobs play in our contentedness? Why is there a guilt and shame that surrounds quitting? Should we settle for an environment we don't enjoy and focus our fulfillment outside of work?

What if you could have everything you've ever wanted? In this week's episode, we're going to discuss why we show up for our 9 to 5 without showing up for ourselves. Our passion projects often seem like unachievable dreams, but we'll never know unless we invest -- not only with our time, money, and efforts, but in ourselves as well.

It's happened. I've reached my breaking point. I'm finally fed up with everything in my life and have decided it's time for a rebrand. In this episode, I go into how I am stepping into the new self that I want to be, one that is full of self-love, authentic, and unapologetically selfish.

Let's get ready to reframe our thoughts in the midst of an existential crisis. After spilling soda on my laptop, I went down a rabbit hole of questions, primarily asking out loud: why me? Why do certain things happen to me? Perhaps I'll never know the answers I'm looking for, but it's fun to guess.

For this week, I have my first unscripted episode. This means that I will be 100 percent unfiltered and will ramble and rant about whatever is on my mind. Let's have an open and honest conversation about having pure intentions for people who don't reciprocate the same energy, completely losing yourself to satisfy others, and the ongoing pain that comes with love and heartbreak.

A new hair style means a new and improved woman. For this week, I discuss new changes in my life that have me wondering about how temporary and permanent things truly are.

After a one week break, we're back with the SOLITA podcast and discussing a very important question: where do you feel safe? Sleeping in someone else's home? Staying in your comfort zones? Needing a certain level of trust in someone? I want to recognize these safe spaces for when I need comfort and familiarity while things are starting to change.

Recently, I had a mix-up that made me believe I was about to undergo a huge change that I was not at all prepared for... and it TERRIFIED me.

First and foremost, I am a hater. With that being said, in this episode, I discuss my complicated relationship with this hater energy I have lingering inside me. Where does this hate build from?

Happy Women's History Month! In honor of this month, I wanted to discuss my personal experience with being a woman, from childhood to adulthood and everything in between. The trials and tribulations that come with being a woman are important to recognize and should not be taken lightly, though there are many benefits and opportunities in the feminine experience that are worth celebrating as well....

In many aspects of my life, I often feel behind. Time is an illusion, yet I still don't have enough of it or even waste the time that I do have. Instead of trying to rush through my life to get to where I want to be, I am starting to learn how to take it one day at a time.

I am a natural over-thinker. I think I even came out of the womb overthinking. As I begin the process of "moving on", I have started to question why I negatively ruminate on situations that are out of my control and the toxic ways in which I enforce these thoughts.

Throughout my life, I have often felt like an imposter. I have felt as if I don’t have a place where I truly belong. In this episode, I open up about my personal experience with not fitting in, whether it’d be school, work, or friends, and how I can begin to figure out who I am and where I am meant to be.

As I was editing this episode, I unfortunately broke my no-lurking streak that I was talking about. I broke it REAL bad.

Love is a tricky subject, which is why I’ve decided to open up about my experience with being a certified lover girl in a cold, emotionless generation. I have often been left heartbroken because of loving others too much and have been sucked into the endless cycle of pretending, getting hurt, and then wanting nothing to do with love. But instead of feeling discouraged by the pain, I have chosen to...

In this episode, I open up about some real life insecurities and experiences that have made me feel as if I am not allowed to mess up or make mistakes.
