the for us podcast

in this episode, i talk about how rest differs from laziness and how rest is essential for us, whereas laziness is simply a lack of self discipline. rest is an essential part of self care and plays a huge role in productivity, so regularly giving your body and mind a break can fuel you more once you pick up your work/studying again 💕✨

in this second part of this topic, I talk about what the phrase “you are what you eat” means to me and how healthy eating looks different for everyone. no one diet or lifestyle can work for everyone, and listening to our body is the most important factor in taking care of it. Have a great week 💕💕😊

In today's episode, I get a little bit more personal, and I talk about my experience with dealing with change, and things that have helped me to cope with it.

But there are also ways to accept and feel these emotions, and at the sam...

In today's episode, I talk about how life is ever-changing, and how it comes in seasons (not the four seasons, but like phases or chapters of our lives). These seasons of life are all so different, some are chill and just all positive vibes, while others are when we have to learn hard lessons. But we can get through all of the seasons in life, and most importantly, learn something from each of the...

Happy one year!!!

In today's episode, I talk about how we are not in control of every part of our lives, and how we need to learn to accept that everything we plan out may not go as planned.

Happy Mothers Day! In today's episode, I talk about toxic positivity and the differences between true positivity and toxic positivity.

In today's short-but-sweet episode, I talk about why consistency is so important. In selfcare and every other aspect of life, staying consistent in daily, weekly, or monthly practices is so important in sustaining our growth and keeping us grounded.

These are two important things in selfcare and growing in your selfcare journey, and I hope you enjoy this episode!

Today's episode was a fun one! Even though it was vulnerable and raw, it was so good to talk about what individuality is at its core, and learning why we struggle so much with being ourselves.

Today’s episode answers one of the most common questions about the false ego: what’s the difference between the false ego and self confidence? As an extension of last week’s episode, I talk about what makes an inflated false ego different from self confidence and how to practice self confidence.

The ego has two parts: the false ego and the true ego. The ego, in both parts, is how we identify ourselves, the "I am..." statements. The difference between the false and true ego is that the false ego is identified with external beliefs. The true ego is our core beliefs, the core truth that we believe. The false ego can be either inflated or deflated, and in both situations, the false ego is hol...

Instead of letting our phones and social media take control of us, let’s take control over how we use it. In today’s episode, I talk about things like screen time, app limits and other topics that we can use to reframe our relationships with our phones, and how...

Routine doesn’t have to be planning your day out completely, or knowing every single thing that is going to happen in that day. That’s not in our control. What routine really is is establishing some kind of structure in your day, something that you do consistently, whether it is reading a book before you go to sleep, or having a small skincare routine for the morning that you do every day. Having...

When we judge others, it is usually entirely based on outer appearance. What we don’t realize is that very often, the very things we judge others on reflect our own insecurities. Today, I talk about how we can learn to do our own inner work, and how that can limit us from judging others. As we become more self confident and caring, that vibe spreads.
