Talk AB It Podcast

What if the spark you've been searching for isn't something you need to find—but someone you need to reconnect with? In this episode, we're talking about the importance of truly knowing yourself and how genuine self-awareness is often what brings your confidence, joy, and excitement for life back. So many of us spend our time trying to become someone else or chasing the next version of ourselves t...

In this special devotional episode, we take a step away from our usual conversations and spend intentional time discussing what it truly means to trust God. Faith can feel complicated, especially in seasons of uncertainty, waiting, or when life doesn't unfold the way we expected. Together, we talk about the importance of surrender, choosing trust over control, and believing that God is working eve...

Lately, one of the biggest things God has been teaching me is how to love myself for who He created me to be, especially during seasons when life makes me feel less beautiful. Whether it's comparison, disappointment, insecurity, changes in life, or the things people say and do, there are so many moments that can make us question our worth. It's easy to allow those experiences to become evidence ag...

Burnout can be incredibly difficult to face because it often shows up in the middle of things we care deeply about. It's not always a lack of motivation or passion—in fact, sometimes it's the opposite. You love your friends, your commitments, your work, your hobbies, and the life you've built, so slowing down feels wrong. You don't want to cancel plans, disappoint people, or admit that you simply...

In this week's episode, we talked about growth, self-discovery, and learning to embrace the season of life you're currently in. Sometimes it's easy to look back at old versions of ourselves with embarrassment or regret, but the truth is that every version of you served a purpose. The person you used to be helped shape the person you are today. Your mistakes, lessons, victories, and growing pains a...

Being let down by people we trust is one of life's most difficult experiences. Whether it's a friend, family member, relationship, or someone we looked up to, disappointment can leave us feeling hurt, confused, and stuck replaying what happened. In this episode, we talk about the reality that closure doesn't always come from the other person and how healing often begins when we stop waiting for ap...

This episode is your reminder that the “perfect summer” does not have to mean completely reinventing yourself. We talk about how every summer feels different, and instead of chasing trends or trying to become a whole new person, this season can simply be about adding more life into the person you already are. From creating Pinterest boards and finding your summer style, to investing in staple piec...

This week’s episode is a conversation about loneliness — something almost everyone experiences, yet so few people openly talk about. We barely even scratched the surface of this topic because there are so many layers to it: feeling disconnected, struggling with hyper-individualism, navigating seasons of isolation, and learning the difference between being secure on your own versus convincing yours...

A year of podcasting. A year of showing up, learning, growing, overthinking, doubting, creating, and most importantly — doing it anyway. In this episode, I reflect on what this past year has taught me and the biggest lesson I continue to come back to: just start. So much time can be spent worrying about what could go wrong, what people might think, or whether you’re “ready” enough, but none of tha...

In this episode, we talk about something so common, yet so overlooked—speaking without thinking. It shows up in moments of frustration, when we’re joking around, trying to fit in, or even just filling silence. It’s a natural human reaction, but it can reveal more about us than we realize. This conversation dives into the idea that our words are often a reflection of what’s going on internally. The...

This episode is a reflection on the small mindset shifts I’ve been leaning into in this season—simple reminders that have been helping me step out of pressure and into a healthier perspective. It’s about learning how much the way we think shapes the way we live, and how choosing a different lens can bring more peace, patience, and clarity into everyday life. I talk about the importance of letting...

This episode dives into the connection between self-love and the spaces we allow things—physically, mentally, and emotionally—to take up in our lives. We talk about how clutter isn’t just about messy rooms or overstuffed closets, but the habits, relationships, thoughts, and expectations we hold onto that no longer serve us. Loving yourself isn’t just affirmations and bubble baths—it’s being honest...

Lately, I feel like I’ve been seeing the “cool girl” aesthetic everywhere—on social media, in outfits, in the way people act, talk, and present themselves. And honestly… I love it. It’s fun, it’s inspiring, it makes you want to elevate yourself. But at the same time, I had this moment where I realized something really important: the coolest thing you can actually be… is yourself. It’s so easy to g...

In this episode, I share what it’s been like to be in a season where I feel this strong need to be in control—but honestly don’t know how to be. When every decision feels so important, it’s easy to put pressure on yourself to make all the “right” choices and feel like everything depends on you. I talk about the fear of going down the wrong path, the pressure of not wanting to repeat past mistakes,...

In this episode, we’re getting honest about something that quietly shapes our lives more than we realize: what we choose to tolerate. “Stop Accepting Bad Behavior” is all about recognizing that while we can’t control how other people act, we can control what we allow into our lives—and that changes everything. We dive into the truth that what you accept from others is often a reflection of how you...

In this special episode, I sit down with one of the most influential people in my life—my dad. Someone who has never just told me to chase what I love, but has truly lived it out in a way that shaped how I see my own path. He’s been a constant example of what it looks like to pursue your passions with intention, patience, and faith. We dive into the difference between a dream and a passion—how dre...

In this episode, we sit down with Kallie Miller to talk about following your passions and trusting the journey, even when the path isn’t perfectly clear. Kallie shares how her love for dance began at a young age and continued through college at Mankato, where she not only deepened her passion but also found her voice and confidence. Her dedication to dance eventually led her into coaching, where s...

In this episode, we sit down with Whitney Schutt to talk about what it really looks like to pursue multiple dreams over the course of your life — even when you don’t know how the story will unfold. Whitney’s journey is a testament to what can happen when someone is deeply hardworking, motivated, and passionate about the things that matter most to them. Through seasons of uncertainty, she continued...

In this episode, we’re talking about the quiet (and sometimes very loud) pressure that comes with college — the pressure to have a plan, a personality, a five-year vision, and somehow also be having the best time of your life. So much of what feels overwhelming isn’t actually coming from within you — it’s coming from the outside world and what people label as “normal.” The expectation that college...

In this episode, I’m talking about the pressure to be less — and how freeing it is to finally stop shrinking. There will always be people who are more comfortable when you’re quieter, less expressive, less bold. But those people aren’t your people. So many of us tone ourselves down because we’re scared of being judged or embarrassed. We’ve learned to dim our personality because at some point, some...

In this episode, I’m reflecting on what it’s really been like to spend a full year single — intentionally, fully, and without rushing into the next thing. This isn’t a breakup story. It’s a growth story. Over the past year, I’ve learned what it means to sit with myself instead of distracting myself. I’ve faced loneliness without labeling it as failure. I’ve rebuilt routines, redefined my standards...

How often has someone said, “Guess what I heard,” and you instantly lean in? This episode dives into why we’re so quick to insert ourselves into other people’s lives—and what it’s quietly costing us. In a world obsessed with public relationships, brands, and online personas, it’s easier to be invested in what everyone else is doing than to reflect on how we’re actually living. Yes, it’s entertaini...

In this episode, we’re reframing what it really means to be “picky.” You can’t force people to treat you the way you deserve—but you can choose what you tolerate. Being picky isn’t bullying, rude, or cutting everyone off. It’s about healthy boundaries. Sometimes that looks like keeping people at an arm’s length, being intentional with how much access they have to you, and recognizing that you do h...

Surrendering to God sounds beautiful in theory, but in real life, it can be one of the hardest things we’ll ever do. This episode speaks to the tension so many of us feel—the deep desire to trust God fully, while still wrestling with our flesh, doubts, and earthly desires. One day you might feel free, close to Him, and confident in your faith… and the next, you’re questioning everything. That stru...

FOMO—fear of missing out—is the feeling that everyone else is living a more exciting, connected, or fulfilling life than you. It often shows up around people we know, but it can also come from parasocial relationships: watching strangers online do things we wish we were doing. According to the Cleveland Clinic, FOMO can happen at any stage of life and for countless reasons. Scientifically, it’s ro...
