The Slow Down Method

Happy New Year! We start off the new year with a new episode. Buckle up and let's start 2025 with a great start!

It's almost Christmas, so why not an Eve episode? This week, I celebrate Christmas early with you! I vent, laugh, and bring some hope for this holiday season. It's an early episode, so you have to listen. And just in case you don't hear it from anyone, Merry Christmas!

What can I say? It's almost Christmas, nearly the end of the year, and almost the end of TikTok. Life continues to change, but before we get ahead of ourselves, it's good to see where we came from. This week I talk about how my year has changed from the beginning to the end. Somehow TikTok, seasonal friends, and Christmas all make sense in this episode.

Winter is here and the depression has arrived. Not exactly. I've had an interesting journey with depression and learning how to handle it. Maybe you've been feeling that emotion recently. Join me as I talk about my journey; hopefully, you feel like you're not the only one on yours.

The results are out! The year is about to end and we get our 2024 wrapped! How was it this year? Was there more you wanted to do? Join me this week as I talk about this year's wrapped for our lives and how we can analyze it properly.

It's the week of Thanksgiving, which means this is my holiday special episode. Is it just me or did the year fly by already? Join me this week to slow down and take some time to appreciate this year. We'll look back at how far we've come, enjoy our progress, and remind ourselves that we are going to end this year right. Just in case no one has said it yet, have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

We are so back and better than ever! After a few months, I've returned for a new season of the Slow Down Method podcast! Did you miss me? Join me for a new episode and catch up with what's been happening in my life. I missed you!

You are chosen.

The pros and cons of living in your hometown. Join me as I discuss some of the benefits of living at home and being able to move away!

This is your message to reset in life. What does that mean? Listen to my episode this week and I'll explain more!

In a week, it's my dad's birthday! This week, I want to have an honest conversation about my dad and what's going on in his life. He is a great father and he's still kicking, but some crossroads are coming up on the horizon. I hope you enjoy this episode and hear about my dad,

Simple lesson for today - Have Fun!

Change costs something. Whether we want to make more money, achieve our gym goals, or anything else - it will cost us something. The question is, is it worth the cost? Perhaps you're unsure or maybe you know exactly what you need to do, but have a hard time committing. We're all at those different crossroads in life and it's okay to not know where to go next. However, we cannot remain...

Did you know that cows can't change their spots? Of course, they can't, but can people change the way that they are? Ideally, they should, but oftentimes it proves difficult. We have good intentions, swear up and down, and promise over and over, but how often do we find ourselves back to old ways? This week, I talk about how some people will never change and sometimes that's a good thi...

Not everyone's opinion matters. We will encounter a lot of people in our lives and though a lot of them will share their opinion, it doesn't mean we always have to listen. Don't let someone judge your progress when they don't know your destination.

Happy New Year! We have BIG goals this year, but how are we going to achieve them? Maybe we didn't achieve our goals last year because of that one person, that one situation, the poor environment...or maybe it was because of us? This week I discuss taking accountability for our actions and thoughts. We can blame other people or use different excuses, but maybe it's time to take accountabil...

You know what's crazy? Taking into account everyone else's opinion and then trying to live your own life. Jeez, we already have to deal with our own lives, so why do we need others to tell us what to do all the time? This week I'm reminding you that you do not matter. Why? Because we're all humans trying to figure out life and going on our path to get to where we have to go. This i...

Choosing ourselves can be a tough choice. It may not seem like something too difficult, but how many times would we rather focus on others instead of ourselves? This week, I want to focus on you and explain why choosing ourselves is a tough choice, but it's the right choice. I can't wait for you to listen to this episode and I hope you grab something good from it!

Welcome to season 3! This week I talk about "friends" and why you should lose them. I also question if you're the type of friend that needs to get lost or grow with your friends too. This week is a sharp dive into a new season of both you and I!

Well, I knew I was going to make this episode eventually.  I think a lot of us have experienced some kind of church hurt in our lives.  I oftentimes hear about what happened to someone and that was the reason they stepped away from the church or God, or just changed how they lived.  I didn’t think I would’ve experienced this until it happened to me a few years ago.  It’s still a process of healing...

Welcome to another episode here on my podcast! This week, I talk about the good times, the bad times, and the in-between times. I could never forget different moments in my life even when I was still in preschool. Sometimes those memories were great and other times they were a bit rough. However, I can look back and appreciate the overall memory. Do you have a lot of memories you can recall or jus...

After living in PA for over a year now, one thing is apparent...I miss the homies. Don't get me wrong, I am happy with where I'm at now, but it doesn't mean that I have a lot of friends up here either. I am thankful for the friends I have in PA and the ones across the US. Sometimes, I wish I just saw some of the old homies every once in a while and a bit more frequently too. This week,...

Every day we are bombarded with the status quo and whether or not we're meeting that expectation. I often cared about my looks, clothes, and style. However, everything changed when my friend and I decided that we were going to shave our heads. It wasn't an immediate change in how I viewed myself, but it was the first step to change. I think it's easy to be so focused on our looks that we forget th...

Welcome to season 2!  It has been a while.  Join me this week while I talk about getting back to doing new things or perhaps old things that I may haven't had time for.  Perhaps you're like me and left some stuff by the wayside, maybe it's time to pick them back up!  Hope you enjoy this episode and the start of a brand-new season!

It's almost the end of the year, but there are still a few days left of this one.  After working during the holiday, I am ready for the slower pace of work and life.  However, after thinking about it more, I realized that maybe this is a continued sign to see what is out there.  This holiday was good, but also too much for various reasons.  It's a good reminder to seek out grow...
