I believe that anyone and everyone has wisdom to share based on our own unique life experiences… tune in for my favorite self-betterment tips and conversations about life with people who live it well. :) Instagram: @theearlyrobyngetstheworm
Cliche, but perhaps for a reason-- "never say never!" Sometimes time & effort are the only things standing between us and the things we never thought we could be, do, or accomplish. Who knows?... surprise yourself. :)
My middle school teacher’s wedding… the global Microsoft server outage… $$$ spent, yet priceless relationships earned… this was my beautiful weekend trip to New Jersey.

What if the personality traits, imperfections, and insecurities we feel self-conscious about are actually someone's favorite thing about us?
This one is dedicated to my older friends, and especially Laurie!

Keeping with Episode 93’s theme of loneliness, here is a song I wrote last year— called “sleepless”— in Seattle. ;)
I’m starting to think this will never end
I’m starting to lose gravitation
I’m starting to wonder if you never did wonder if I could ever be patient…
And in dreams I go home
“Only to no home I’ve ever known”
I wonder— if I leave,
I wonder if anybody would miss me

...Not really, but also yes. Some honest thoughts/feelings recently on being so surrounded yet so lonely at the same time.

BONUS CONTENT… this is the song I performed in the open mic mentioned in last episode! Written/recorded in 2022.
You would always walk all over me
Take a good thing and make it bad
I used to chalk it off as reality
But why should I have to say that?
My tongue’s on fire, it’s life and death
My lungs are tired, you're every breath
Needless to say,
We are done
I hope you
Grow up someday
Into someone
Who can
Know that there's more
To feeling secure
Than making someone else feel dumb
I know you be-
Lieve me a fool
But believe me, you
Would be leaving too
If I said and did
The things that you do
You think I'm a kid
But darling that’s you…

What going to my first open mic-- and performing my own original songs-- taught me about comfort zones.
Spoiler: they're worth stepping out of. :) Even when you have to stop yourself halfway thru the song because you froze...

Why is it so tempting sometimes to lean into depression, sadness, angst, the victim mentality, etc?!... in this episode I discuss my journey to get away from my emotional masochism/"strange addiction" to sadness.

Happy February! To usher in this month of Love-themed episodes, let's start with defining... "what is love?" (Anyone else hear the song in their heads?)
This is for anyone like me who is tempted to think love always has to be loud, flashy, and passionate-- when sometimes it's more subtle.

You know the phrase "six degrees of separation"... but what if our world is even smaller than that? I encourage you to ask the random questions, tell the random stories, make the random comments - because you never know how you might be connected to those around you. It's a small world, after all!

When I'm craving "adventure", I usually get on Google Flights to search for possible getaway destinations... meanwhile, some other adventure-seeker is across the country looking at flights to vacation where I am. In this episode I discuss the idea of finding the magic of where you are right now, because there is beauty and fun to be had everywhere if you just look close enough.

A reflection on the last 4 years, spent in a major and school I didn’t really love (but am grateful for)... ft. a couple songs I wrote about it! Now onto the next chapter: starting my career in the Air Force.
ICYMI: in celebration of 50 (!!) episodes, I’m taking a break for the next month to sit down and really think about what I want for this podcast. By next episode, I will probably have a whole new name, cover art, etc… AHH! Speak soon!

A surprise birthday picnic, amazing friends, and reflections on turning 22... is that even a real age?! Well, Taylor Swift says so. I had no expectations for this day and it turned into more than I could ask for. Thank you God for the life that I wake up to.

"Gift Wrap Your Work" episode I mentioned, by the brilliant Laura Vanderkam!
Possibility Paralysis: belief in the possibility of a “perfect” outcome... so much so that you don’t take any steps towards it. In this episode I talk about my struggle with this indecisiveness, and how I’m trying to overcome it.
THANK YOU FOR LISTENING! Three episodes away from 50 THAT IS CRAZY!
Instagram: @TheEarlyRobynGetstheWorm (this week I'll be doing a series of videos showing how I'm trying to practice overcoming possibility paralysis in my own life :))

In this episode I talk about Seasonal Depression-- sometimes referred to as SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder)-- and my personal experience with it.
Key parts:
7:54 Mayo Clinic symptoms
- Listlessness
- Losing interest in activities you once enjoyed
- Carb intake
- Feeling hopeless, worthless, or guilty
- Not wanting to live
13:37 Other thoughts
- Happiness makes me sad
- The cycle of stress eating
- Lacking motivation
- There’s nowhere near that’s far enough away
- It took all of me to get here.
- Why won’t you ask if I’m okay?
- There's NOone to talk to
Whether you can relate and receive validation from this, or are just interested to understand this struggle more, I hope this episode is helpful. To sunny days!... 🙇🏻♀️
In a somewhat lonely way, we are all at the center of our own universes… but in a hopeful way, too, this can make it all the sweeter when our worlds collide. 🪐
Thoughts on feeling like everyone’s! Always! Watching! Me! Thanks for listening though. ;)

Sometimes it’s not the product, but the process of our work, that is the most valuable lesson 🍎

Quality over quantity! "A good quality few is better than a mediocre many" - whether that be things you have, the things you do, or even the things you say... so here is 15 minutes of me rambling about that 🤪 Enjoy!
Welcoming 🥳Syd🥳 for a conversation on the importance of “withholding no good words”… from others or even yourself.

To that end… go out and “GIVE” good words! Lots of them! 💜

In my last episode, I mentioned a song I'd written earlier this year about being afraid of drifting away from a friend when you say goodbye, because you feel you need them more than they need you. This is the song, "Leave Me Be": LYRICS: I try my best to be a good friend, Genuine, Until the end And I'm a wreck when You say that It's all in my head So I say that I'll be fine Who doesn't love a white lie? Trying not to cry As I'm saying goodbye...
To my best friend, "til the end"— At least, that's what you said But I know better than To go and believe that You say I'm such a pessimist But I think I'm a realist And you say that we'll be fine, So, then, why shouldn't I?
But how can I be fine? How can I move on with life When I spent it all waiting for you? And now, how are you okay, Now that I gave myself away? Hoping if I stayed, that you would too.
So, is this why you don't talk to me? And is this why I'm just a memory? And is this why your leaving me was easy?
This is why I hide my tears And this is why I have so much fear This is why I begged you not to leave...
Cuz honestly, I knew eventually that you wouldn't need me And you would leave me be… Alone.
Welcoming Alyssa, my okay friend who has a surprising amount of wisdom... kidding! You don't want to miss this albeit chaotic-banter-filled conversation on how moving has shaped our friendships and perspective on the concept of "home." It's where the heart is... be it in a location, time, or even a person. <3 Thank you Alyssa! See you soon as my new cohost!
Join me in two versions of a sauna today as I discuss how being the first to welcome someone goes a long way... speaking from experience! Thanks for listening. Really. :) IG - @theearlyrobyngetstheworm
"Be yourself" - cliche, but true! I am always comparing my strengths to others' and wishing I was someone else... but we were all created for a unique purpose here on Earth. Let Taylor Swift be Taylor Swift, an eye be an eye, and even a (Mr.) Zero be a hero. Thanks for listening :)
I've been learning that life isn't a formula-- there is no "right answer" to do/be something in particular, but there ARE paths to get there that take self-awareness and wisdom to recognize as wrong for you. I encourage you to "put your foot in the door" and try everything... but don't force yourself to walk in a shoe that doesn't fit! Better input = better output :)
Fun fact: I am literally sitting on the airport runway in Korea as I post this, about to take off! Talk to you soon :)
Why is this episode special?: because it features my first guest, or because that guest is my youngest sister, Kate? ... the answer is YES. In this conversation, Kate tells me about her philosophy on how the simplest things-- from low-key family outings to picking up trash-- can have a lasting impact. She also confesses her possible addiction to trash & I repay her for being on the podcast with a (literal) slap on the face. Do you think she'll be back?!
…and by “weight” I mean burdens— my sisters & I seriously deliberated this title. Please don’t take it the wrong way… haha! Alternative title, suggested by Kate: "If You Know... Let it Go!"
This podcast started as a distant bucket list dream but I never thought it'd happen. However long this lasts, I'm excited to start! Thanks for listening :)
