This week, things went a little different than planned. Instead of dwelling & complaining, I decided to make an episode on it. Life doesn't simply "happen" to us.

11: Stop Taking Things Personally 24.01.2019

I turned 24 this week & have been reflecting on what I've learned in my 23rd year of life - one lesson has been to stop taking things personally. Why waste energy on the opinions of someone who most likely doesn't even know you? Be open to feedback & growth, but don't let the comments or actions of others affect you more than they should. Trust me - most of the time, it&apos...

07: Living Without Regrets 13.12.2018

We all make mistakes, but how do you choose to view yours? We can either dwell on what we've done/should've done and let that hold us back, or we can use our experiences as an opportunity to grow.

A few other topics covered in this week's episode...

How often do you practice gratitude? Many of us easily get caught up in wanting more and we forget to appreciate the simple things in life.

It is hard to attract opportunities and positive energy into our lives if we aren't grateful for what we have and where are right now. I share a few personal experiences that, in the momen...

03: There Will Never Be a Perfect Time 15.11.2018

"I'll start when I have more free time, when I have more money, when I have more experience, when I'm older, when it's the perfect time..." It's so easy to make excuses and hold off on starting something. We often let our fears or the overwhelming feeling of taking action get in the way. In this episode, I explain why it is so important to at least take the first step...

02: No One Has It Figured Out 08.11.2018

Have you ever felt like everyone has it “figured out” but you? I get you and I’ve been there too, until I *very recently* realized that having it “figured out” is just an illusion. No one has it all figured out. In this episode, I touch on just that and on the concept of living your life for YOU - not with the intention of proving anything to others.
