Unpacking Potato

Hi tater tots! Guess who's back, back again. I'm baaaack with some more quick life updates but mostly with some thoughts on dating and finding love. I saw a YouTube video that got me thinking and inspired to share my thoughts again and I was like yessss finally the podcast bug is backkkk so here we are. This episode is for anyone who feels like they're behind in their love life and/or...

Hi Tater tots! It was my birthday and what better way to spend it than to talk into my mic for 20 minutes and empty my brain a bit? I am coming to realize that I am a very reflective person and I spend a lot of my time thinking about my thoughts, behaviours, and life in general. I am grateful to have this space to talk about things on my mind when I feel ready! This birthday has been like others i...

Hello Tater Tots! It has been almost a year since my last episode... I thought it was around January when I posted last but I just checked and it was December!! Thank you for your patience as I navigate this new chapter of my life. I am happy to be back and updating you. I wanted to talk about my self-compassion journey. From thinking it was "cringe" to be kind to myself and how practici...

Hello tater tots! It’s been a minute - I wanted to give you a small update on how life is going while also sharing a recent realization I’ve had on how I’ve learned to reframe my mindset and the absolute life changing power that has on my life! This is a podcast-only episode, so no video version will be out. I’ve missed sitting down and recording podcast episodes!! I didn’t even realize it until I...

Hello Tater Tots! Do you ever feel like you’re rushing through life? Looking forward to the “next best thing” and achieving goals is the only time you feel truly fulfilled? I do this all the time, and I have been actively trying my best to slow down, be mindful of my present moment, and acknowledge and practice gratitude towards all the amazing parts of my life rather than focus on the challenges...

Hello tater tots! Divorce taught me so many things. Making a decision for myself and myself only was the absolute best thing I ever did. It was really difficult at the time, but because of that tough decision and those hard times in my 20s I was able to learn who I was a person on a deeper level, figure out what I wanted and I found something infinitely better for me. The main take away for me was...

Hello tater tots! Welcome back to another episode. I think it’s so easy for us to forget about all the things we have achieved in our lives, and all the bad stuff that we’ve survived, endured, and grown from. In this episode I talk about a little self-reflection exercise I like to do from time to time to zoom out of my life and gain perspective. I hope you enjoy! :) - Hanhy

Hello Tater tots! Welcome back to another episode! So happy you’re here to join me on this episode where I unpack my own experiences and opinions on taking things too personally and too close to heart and how active efforts to understand and grow from it has changed the way I view (and behave in) confrontations in relationships. I used to take certain things too personally. In more ways than one....

Hello tater tots! Do you ever feel like you have to do everything perfectly? Like failure isn’t an option? That’s how I felt for a long time, but I realized one day that making mistakes is a part of life and it actually can lead you closer to the things that you connect with better! Relationships, careers, friendships, everything. I hope this episode helps you reframe your thinking and help reflec...

Hello Tater Tots! In this week's episode I wanted to answer the questions: What even is Self Compassion? Doesn't it just mean go easy on yourself? What's better for growth? Self compassion or being hard on yourself? 
 This is a topic that is very important to me, so I hope I give you lots to think about and reflect upon! 
 I love talking about self-reflection, self-development, personal growth, an...

Hello Tater Tots! I have been having so much fun creating content lately, I hope you're enjoying watching the videos as much as I am creating them! For this week's episode I wanted to talk about fear and excitement and how it shows up the same way in our bodies - and how important it is to recognize and acknowledge that in order to understand ourselves better. I think it's so important to be aware...

Hello Tater Tots! This week’s episode topic is about loneliness, social connection, and what I do to find community and connection when moving to a new place (or just to revamp your involvement even if you never moved!) Social connection is extremely important to our health, and I think with social media, COVID times, and the overall individualistic society we live in - sometimes we forget how to...

Hello Tater Tots! I am doing an unintentional series - as this topic definitely builds off the last two episodes as well. If you struggle to ask for help, in your job, for your mental health, physical health, in your role as a parent, in any way shape or form, I think this episode will be a good one. I was like that (and still am). I always have found it so hard to ask for assistance of any kind,...

Hello Tater Tots! This week’s episode I talk about my own realizations that my partner’s emotions are not my responsibilities and mine aren’t theirs either. Disclaimer, this does not mean that I simply stopped caring about my partner’s emotions. That part is important. Of course I still care deeply about my partner’s emotional and overall well being. This distinction simply means that my entire se...

Hello tater tots! If you want to watch the video version of this episode click here! In this episode I talk about untying our self-worth from external factors. More specifically, practicing removing ourselves from our roles and responsibilities, I talk about my own experience with separating my self-worth from my role as a helper, and seeing what that was like. I'm not saying we have to remove...

Hello beautiful tater tots! This week's episode was thanks to a listener who wrote in to share their story and suggest a topic - Generational Trauma and it's impact on those who speak up. I am always so honoured when listeners feel safe to share their stories with me, I love that I can provide a space to share your experiences and offer my thoughts and hopefully provide a bit of comfort in...

Hi Tater tots! I've really been having trouble recording and posting lately, this is a little bit of an explanation on why. In this very quick episode I talk about how shifting my mindset towards self compassion has been helping me in my new life changes, I ended the episode a bit short because I got unexpectedly emotional - haha classic. I think it's safe to say I'm back but rather th...

Hi Tater Tots! In this episode, let’s get into the complexities of self-care, vulnerability, and communication within relationships. A conversation with my aesthetician from a while back got me reflecting about the challenges of receiving care and love, particularly for strong and independent women. I wanted to talk about how societal expectations and the self-care industry often overshadow genuin...

Hello tater tots! I'm so excited to be back! This week I wanted to talk about how sometimes it feels less genuine or real when we have to ask our partners for exactly what we want and unpack that feeling a little bit. I think asking for what we want is harder and puts us in a more vulnerable position compared to wanting and expecting our partners to anticipate our needs and try to read our min...

Hello everyone! I’ve been having a lot of conversations recently about fear surrounding trying new things due to the feeling of needing to be perfect. This is something I’ve been actively trying to work on. And honestly the more I’ve been able to let go of the notion of being perfect at doing things the more I’ve had the space for new experiences! --------------------------------------------------...

Happy Sunday! This week I wanted to chat about differentiating between stress and stressors and being aware of the physical impact stress has on our body (often long lasting impacts). I've recently become more and more aware of this in my own life and wanted to share my experience. I think we often forget that we collectively went through a huge life-changing event in the last few years which...

Hi Tater tots!! I'm baaaaack!! This week's quick episode is a recap on my experience at a Muay Thai & Yoga Wellness Retreat that I went to in Thailand. Thank you all for your patience, this summer was filled with unexpected twists and turns and I'm so excited to share all my updates and reflections with you all :) I have so many things on the horizon and projects in mind and I am SO excited to sha...

Hi Tater tots! In this episode I address the saying "you have to love yourself before loving others" and how much I think that is BS. I also think love languages are BS. Love and relationships are so intricate and complicated - in the most beautiful and unique way possible. There are so many layers and factors that play into everything and I think it's important to address that! Also, I'm not sayi...

Hi tater tots! Thank you for being patient with me as I fall a bit behind on posting schedules, and thanks for sticking around. This week I am just rambling about my life and my current "figuring it out" process. I hope that hearing me ramble on how I DON'T have it all figured out and how that is OKAY (!!) helps you feel a bit better about maybe something in your life you don't feel is quite "righ...

Hello tater tots! This week I chat about intention vs impact and how I’ve been reflecting on how the differentiation impacts my life and interactions with people as well as my relationships. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- As usual, google forms are always open for suggestions, stories, feedback, etc. I'd love to hear from you. Google form for submissi...
