Do you find yourself wishing you could live a life other than the one you're living but somehow convince yourself that it's not possible or feasible? Do you feel a lack of passion or feel like every day is the same? In this episode, we discuss various ways you can add more passion, intention, purpose, and meaning to your life. So, if you answered yes to any of those questions, then this month's episode is for you. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!
From dealing with physical health issues to life's most difficult moments, feeling uncomfortable is inevitable. In this month's episode, we talk about finding comfort during your most uncomfortable moments, pushing through your limiting beliefs, and having the willingness to tolerate difficult or unpleasant situations. So sit back, relax, and enjoy!
Nostalgia is healthy and comforting. However, longing and wishing for the past can inhibit growth and contribute to feelings of despair and depression. In this month's podcast episode, we'll discuss how to bring more closure and acceptance into your life while simultaneously learning how to live more mindfully in the present moment. As we enter a new Spring season, we can learn to mirror this season of change by inviting a sense of renewal into our physical space and headspace so we can healthily move forward with fewer external distractions, more clarity, and well-deserved peace. So sit back, relax, and enjoy - happy listening!
You asked, and we answered! For this month's podcast episode, I'm joined by my boyfriend to answer a few questions that were submitted through Instagram related to all things relationships. We don't have the answers, but we most definitely have some experience to share. Whether you are seeking advice on friendships, a relationship with a family member, are in an unhealthy relationship, or trying to navigate being in a healthy relationship, then this episode is for you. We're not experts, and we don't claim to be. But, we have some laughs to share and some love to spread. So sit back, relax, and enjoy!
It's that time of year again: the time we give into yet another commercial holiday to buy new calendars, new planners, and gym memberships because we were finally permitted by the societal Gods to start over on the 1st of the year. Are you setting goals that are your own, or are you setting goals that seem like the things you SHOULD be doing to be successful in the eyes of society? For me, New Year's Day is a load of horse sh*t and typically yields goals that aren't sustainable or easily attainable. Naturally, because of this, we typically get discouraged, demotivated, and uninspired, and our once AMAZING "New Year New Me" goals are null and void. So, we tell ourselves we'll just try again next year when we're granted permission to start over again. As we start this new month, I encourage you to ask yourself how you want to feel instead of worrying about all the things you need to do and all the goals you need to hit. If you focus on how you WANT to feel, I’m sure you’ll be surprised as to how much your goals or resolutions may change as a result of reframing the thinking behind setting usually arbitrary goals based on societal norms of what’s successful and what’s not. Not sure how to do that? That's what this episode is for, so sit back, relax, and enjoy!
As we enter the holiday season, stress levels typically start to increase, emotions are heightened, and grief tends to feel heavier than usual. Instead of leaning into the busy hustle and bustle that comes with this time of year, it's important to incorporate rituals that help you stay grounded and present. In this month's episode, we'll discuss various ways to incorporate more self-care to enhance your physical and mental space while simultaneously learning how to let go, surrender, and trust the process.
There's always so much to look forward to in the future. Alternatively, once we begin thinking "When this happens in the future, I'll be happier," looking to the future becomes the means to escape the present. By projecting our thoughts to future versions of ourselves and future wants, versions that are by no means guaranteed, we are wasting away the only spec of time that is promised to us: the present moment (duh). Obviously, living in the moment is easier said and done, so this episode walks you through ways you can incorporate more patience and flexibility into your everyday life instead of getting lost and anxious in the "what if's" and "will be's." If you find yourself daydreaming about the future so much so that it's causing you to be impatient or have a hard time breaking out of your rigid routine in an attempt to have as much control over your day as humanly possible, then this episode is for you. So relax, get comfortable, and enjoy!
This month's episode discusses how interior design, mental health, and physical health are all related as well as the meaning and ethos behind moodysolace.
Life is the most beautiful mystery. But sometimes, you can't help but think "What the FCK is the point?" As we grow older, our carefree child-like state eventually turns into debilitating anxiety as our mortality becomes more of a reality. What's the point of joy, happiness, and excitement if the end result always ends with despair? We're all thinking and experiencing the exact same thing, but we don't often have conversations with one another regarding these very human and common emotions. So how do we manage these emotions? I have no fcking idea, but I think this conversation is a good place to start. Happy Listening!
Who are you? Are you happy with who you are or are you a version of yourself that you aren't proud of? Identity constructs are weird and strange, and too often we find ourselves chasing the identity of a person we think we should be instead of stepping into the person we'd authentically love to become. In this episode, we'll discuss ways you can try to tap into your deepest desires and wants in order to become the most expressive and authentic version of yourself. Time to throw social constructs and expectations in the mother fkn trash can, and time to step into the badass version of yourself that you've been doubting. Happy Listening, plebs!
I don't know about you, but I feel like I've been stuck in the same patterns and the same cycles for the last few years. Part of me welcomes change and applies necessary changes to my life, but another part of me stays where it's comfortable and familiar. But, growth does not come from comfortability. Growth happens when you discover new aspects of yourself by trying new hobbies, trying new foods, traveling, exploring your self-expression, and getting out of your comfort zone. That's cool and all, but where do you start? Well, that's what this episode is for. Time to change sht the fck up.
Society, social media, celebrities, movies, and shows all feed us constant images of perfection and happiness. We look at people through a screen wondering why our lives aren't as great as someone else's and wondering why everyone around us seems to be so happy without a flicker of anxiety or depression. The reality is, we're all struggling, but we all do a good f*cking job of hiding it because we've been conditioned to. In this episode, I open up about my most recent mental breakdowns and explain how I've managed to navigate some extremely dark thoughts. You're not alone, peeps. We'll get through this shitstorm together. Happy Listening!
Nostalgia can bring us comfort and peace, or it can bring emotions of longing for things we've lost in our lives. Most of us are either living and dwelling in the past wishing we could go back in time or looking to the future for hope. But, what about the moments in between? Social media is draining our batteries, our attention spans are diminishing, and we're unable to be here in this moment without reaching for a distraction to pull us out of those precious moments. So how the FCK do you stay present while still dealing with life's bullsht?!? Let's find out.
Do you feel alive or are you just living and going through the motions? Are you getting out of your comfort zone and exploring new things that ignite your sense, or are you sticking with what's comfortable because it's what you know the best? Come on now, stop being boring. Let's have some fun. Happy Listening!
When was the last time you tapped into that child-like side of yourself and let your imagination run wild? When was the last time you allowed yourself to be creative and create something that you envisioned in your mind? As we grow older, we allow the serious side of ourselves to outshine our fun, free-spirited nature as a result of following the "normalized" grain of society. In this episode, we take it back to our inner roots and remind ourselves of what it's like to see life as exciting and full of possibilities just like a child. Enjoy!
Do you allow your emotions to get the best of you or do you just ignore them hoping they'll just go away? Whatever the case, emotions are there to teach us something. I've adopted the idea that emotions fckin BLOW, and I've done everything in my power to suppress my past trauma and pain. I'm finally facing it, and the struggle is most definitely real. So, how can you learn to face your past and your darkest pain without crumbling? I don't fckin know; I don't have the answer. But you do.
We live, we laugh, then....we die. Why? What does this all mean? The hell if I know, but it's a topic worth dissecting. Life is strange. But death is even stranger. So, let's talk about what the f*ck happens when we die, shall we?
If your life isn't panning out the way you've dreamed and you're not sure why, look at your current life structure. Are you managing your time efficiently? Do you tap into your own intrinsic motivation and create structure for yourself outside of work or is your current structure formulated by your external responsibilities? Are you organized or just going with the flow waiting for change to happen? We're capable of more than we think, and, more often than not, the reason for staying stagnant in life is simply due to the fact that you don't know where to start to get back on mfkn track. So, let's analyze our day-to-day, shall we?
It's a glow-up year, my dudes. Let's take a moment to reflect on where we are in our lives and to ask ourselves WHY we're really doing everything that we're doing. Life can be stressful, but are you choosing to stay in situations that make your life even more stressful than it should be? Let's dissect our "whys" so we can figure out how to glow the f*ck up, shall we?
Do you have a daily routine? Or do you have a daily ritual? In this episode, we discuss the importance of setting intentional rituals and creating comfortable spaces within your house in order to feel more at home within your body and within your space. Whether it be good or bad, your physical space is a direct reflection of your current state of mind. And yes, I did drink some wine prior to recording this episode, thanks for asking. Anyway, enjoy.
Are you living the life you’ve always dreamed for yourself? Or are you holding yourself back out of fear, negativity, or comfortability? It’s easy to be miserable and stuck in your ways, but it’s not easy to do the hard work you need to do to get out of your slump. Soooo how do you do that exactly? I don’t know, I don’t have the answers for you. Sorry dude. But, I know a good place to start...
Neuroscience says we're built one way, but anthropology, or the study of culture, says otherwise. Are we hard-wired to be who we are, or are we simply products of our environment? Perhaps both? I don't f*kn know, I don't have all the answers, but I do have a strong opinion on the subject. Let's discuss, shall we?
Almost a year later, but I’m back, plebs. Life’s “what the fck” moments are usually met with frustration, but it’s also met with realizations and breakthroughs. My what the fck moments this past year have given me a new perspective on various aspects of my life; but, more importantly, I’ve gained a better and healthier relationship with myself in the process. This episode and episodes to come are no longer meant to provide you with advice; instead, join me on my journey towards relatable self-discovery, epiphanies, and my attempt to dissect the fcked-up shit that us HUMANS have to go through. We’re all going through the same sht, so we might as well try to laugh through it all. SO, if you need a good laugh, then you’ve come to the right place. Keep on keepin on and enjoy, plebs.
Are you stuck in a constant stream of negative thoughts? Are you feeling insecure about yourself or questioning your abilities? Are you feeling hopeless? In this week’s newest podcast episode, we’ll dive into the world of neuroscience and magic mushrooms to help us understand how our brains work in order to live more positive and meaningful lives. Your negative mindset is more than just a mindset; it’s a conditioned neural network your brain has created to make sense of the world around you. It’s time to weaken those connections in order to make room for new neural networks that, quite literally, strengthen with consistent positive thinking. But where do you start? Sit back, relax, and enjoy to find out. Happy Listening!
When we're in physical pain, we do whatever we can to make sure we can heal as quickly as possible. But, when we're in emotional pain, we tend to shut off, suppress, project, and ignore. Sometimes, trauma can feel so heavy and unbearable, so it's easier to turn off our feelings than to confront them. As we gain more perspective and awareness of ourselves and the world around us as we get older, we start to feel emotions from our past trickle back into our lives and manifest as either anger, frustration, irritation, depression, or anxiety. In this week's newest podcast episode, we'll flow together through deepening our awareness of ourselves to determine what we need to heal at our core. If you're feeling like joy is non-existent and that there's no passion in your life anymore, then this episode is for you. It's time to find the beauty in your world again, and it's time to tap into parts of you that you're afraid of facing. So sit back, relax, and enjoy. Happy Listening!
What do you do the second you get out of bed? What do you do right before you go to sleep at night? Is your routine so ingrained into your everyday life that its become a habit? And is that habit serving you positively or are you just on auto-pilot? Routines are supposed to bring about a sense of control and security; they set the tone for our days or help us regroup at night. But, we get into the habit of sticking to routines, living spaces, and environments that no longer serve us in order to remain in control and comfortable. If you’re feeling stuck in your ways and are looking for a more exciting, purposeful, and intentional routine, then this week's episode is for you. It’s time to switch things up, and it’s time to physically and mentally MOVE shit around in order to create a space that’s constantly new, exciting, and stimulating. An exciting routine, a brighter perspective, and a more intentional life await you. So sit back, relax, and enjoy. Happy Listening!
Death is inevitable, but we often think we are immune to it; we think it’s not something that can happen to us or our families.

Whether you’ve experienced grief or not, this episode will help shift your perspective on life and death to help bring about some clarity and purpose during your darkest moments. Death is inevitable, but living with suffocating grief doesn’t have to be. So sit back, relax, and enjoy. Happy Listening!
Being comfortable often inhibits us from exploring what could be. We often settle in relationships, friendships, our jobs, and where we live.

Having a routine helps us feel safe and in control of our own lives. But what happens when our once inspiring routines become mundane? Long lasting routines turn into habits that are difficult to break, and breaking a familiar and habitual routine can make you feel off-balanced. We all have these periods in our lives when we ask ourselves "what the fuck am I doing with my life," and crave something more, something new and different. If you're feeling like your routine is no longer bringing you stability and comfort and has forced you to shift into auto-pilot, then it's time to look inward to ask yourself what you're really craving and what you're lacking in your life.

While we deal with difficult moments in our lives, it’s easy to lose sight of what’s important.

Emotions are nuanced and complex. Sometimes, we think we understand how we're feeling, but our subconscious tells us otherwise.

In this episode, you'll learn how to tap into your past in order to rid your soul of past grief and pain that you've never wanted to deal with.

In a world full of social turmoil and injustice, we are faced with so many opposing opinions and so many different voices. Through injustice comes inequality, and through inequality comes anger and pain. Anger and pain are valid; however, they are not an excuse to ridicule, to hate, or to oppress others in return. In this episode, I discuss various ways to eliminate hate from your life and to replace it with forgiveness. To forgive is to be free. We can continue to blame the world and people for our problems. Or, we can learn to let go, forgive, accept, and walk this world together. This world needs more forgiveness; this world needs more compassion. If you're having trouble finding the strength to forgive and to rid yourself of your anger and pain, then this episode is for you. So sit back, relax, and enjoy. Happy Listening.

Are you currently stuck in a rut? Are you losing motivation? Are you beating yourself up about not achieving your goals? Sometimes, life can seem so incredibly overwhelming that our bodies just crave a break. In moments of hardship and sadness we tend to slow down, become “lazy,” and do the bare minimum every day to just get by. If you feel like you’ve lost your footing and your motivation, it’s important to recognize that this is NOT regression; this is progress. In the moments of stillness we learn patience, we gain perspective about what’s truly important in this world, and we learn what it’s like to be one with ourselves. In this episode, I talk about how disappointed in myself I’ve been lately about not doing all the things I usually do, and how I’m learning to truly appreciate slowing down.

Are you IN love? Or are you in love with the FEELING of being in love? Are you being treated with respect and trust in your committed relationship? Or are you being put down, controlled, or manipulated? When you're immersed in a relationship accompanied by a wide array of emotions, it's hard to separate emotions from logic. Sometimes, we know that the relationship we're in isn't the best for us, yet we just can't seem to leave. In this episode, I discuss the differences between healthy and unhealthy relationships and how to discover your own self worth. A relationship is a two way street that should uplift, inspire, and motivate you. If your relationship is one-sided, negative, draining, or exhausting, maybe it's time to reconsider.

It’s easy to care for someone so much that you lose sight of your own wants and needs. If a relationship seems one-sided, it’s time to re-evaluate and ask yourself why. Are you spreading yourself too thin? Are you being supportive more than you are being supported? Are you having trouble saying no? Love can be blinding, and it’s easy to ignore our own boundaries for ourselves in order to make the people we love happy. In this episode, I discuss boundary setting and how to set realistic, necessary boundaries in order to put your mental health first. Your wants, needs, and emotional well-being are just as important as the wants, needs, and emotional well-being of the people you love. In order to truly show up and be the best version of yourself to those you love around you, it’s necessary to put YOU first. If you feel like you don’t have any boundaries for yourself or don’t know how to implement them, then this episode is for you. So sit back, relax, and enjoy. Happy Listening!

Pain is inevitable, yet us humans have a hard time processing and understanding our own pain. When life becomes too overwhelming, it’s important to find healthy ways to stay grounded, present, and in -tune with your own emotions. We’re constantly told to always look on the bright side, push through the pain, be happy, and ignore negativity.

It’s important and necessary to sit through that pain, to sit through those negative, suffocating emotions in order to gain a better perspective and emerge a stronger person. In this episode, I talk about some struggles I’m currently dealing with and how I’m learning to invite more grace and compassion into my own journey towards understanding myself and my pain just a little bit better.

Every person on this planet is looking for love. But, how do we know we’ve really experienced it? What’s “true love” and how do we know we’ve found “the one?” Is love supposed to be completely seamless? Is it supposed to be accompanied by pain?

But, what happens when you fall in love with a person addicted to drugs? In this episode, I open up about the hardships I’ve been dealing with the last few months.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that America is currently undergoing one of the largest Civil Rights Movements in history. America is bleeding, and the people of this country are coming together to fight for real, overdue change. No matter what side of the spectrum you are on, no matter what side you are fighting for, passion can cause hatred and resentment towards those on the opposing side. During this difficult time, it’s important to welcome open conversation. Real change will occur when we choose to listen rather than silence, love rather than hate, and fight rather than turning the other cheek. In this episode, my best friend, Sofia, and I have a healthy, open discussion on racial injustice, our first hand experiences with racism, and how YOU can make a real difference in your community. We shouldn’t be scared or uncomfortable to voice our opinions, and hopefully this episode encourages each and every one of you to speak up, ask questions, and learn. So sit back, relax, and enjoy.

Is your heart telling you to strongly pursue something? Is your intuition telling you to tread lightly? We're told to listen to logic and reason to get through difficult situations. We're told that emotions cloud judgement and make it difficult to see a situation clearly. But sometimes, we need to just say "fuck logic" and tune in to what your heart and soul really want. Maybe what your heart wants is good for you. Maybe it's not. But, it's important to recognize that your heart is screaming at you for a reason. Your intuition is trying to show you something for a reason. So, listen. In this episode, I dissect a current difficult, messy situation I'm in and emphasize upon the fact that it's ok not to be ok. As I'm sitting with this situation right now and moving through something extremely emotional, I'm learning that in order to regain control of myself, I have to let go of what I can't control.

As time in quarantine drags on, it becomes easier to feel stuck; it becomes easier to look at everything you DON’T have and everything you COULD be doing if only everything was back to normal. When we feel low or lost, we tend to dwell in the past or generate unnecessary anxiety worrying about what may or may not become of the future. The reality is, no matter how much you think of the past and the future, nothing will change. What happened happened and what will become will become.

In today’s episode, I am joined by my lovely friend, Nicole, and we dive right into the topic of body image insecurities and eating disorders. Too often, we forget that the body and the mind are one entity; our body is our mind and our mind is our body. We are quick to shame, criticize, and talk down upon our own bodies, and we let our mind’s run rancid with negative rhetoric. We forget that our bodies carry our stories, our souls, our pain, our successes. We forget that our bodies carry us from place to place and allow us to adventure, explore, and travel. In this episode, Nicole and I emphasize that you are more than just a body, and you’re certainly not your body image. If you’re feeling a little less than confident today, I encourage you to listen to this episode. So sit back, relax, and enjoy. Happy Listening!

We’ve all encountered that one asshole early in the morning, or the person that cut you off while driving, or that person that seems to be rude for no apparent reason. What we see is a person lashing out. What we don’t see, however, is the pain, sadness, loss, grief, anxiety, or financial struggles that person may be going through. It’s easy to fight fire with fire, but what will that accomplish? Instead of being quick to judge someone off of a single interaction or experience, channel that judgement into compassion. Radiate kindness and be a light for someone who feels left in the dark. In this episode, my colleague, roommate, and best friend Sofia and I discuss how to leave your reservations about someone at the door. You’ll be surprised at the amount of great people you’ll meet if you just find the strength to push your judgements and assumptions aside. So sit back, relax, and enjoy! Happy Listening!

We all have that person or group of people that we let get under our skin. Grudges have the power to bring so much anger and rage into our own lives and have the potential to negatively affect our mental health.

In this episode, I talk about the grudges I've learned to let go and how my life has been so much more freeing since then. It's time to let go of what no longer services you. It's time to turn that grudge into love. It's time to manifest that new love into something powerful and something great without the weight of a grudge holding you back.

Anxiety manifests differently within each and every one of us. But no matter what your anxiety may look like, ALL of our anxiety stems from fear of the unknown; anxiety is born through worry, fear, and angst. In this episode, I talk about how my anxiety was born, and how I've learned to tell it to f*** off when it decides to show up during the most inconvenient times. This time of year can bring about a little more anxiety than usual, so if you are having trouble staying grounded and living in THIS present moment or if you find that your mind is constantly thinking about the future, I encourage you to listen. Anxiety doesn't have to be permanent; you just have to tap into the source and find its weakness. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy. Happy Listening!

Everyone's relationship with his or her body image is unique. As a society, we strive to look a certain way, act a certain way, and become someone we're not because of a variety of influential factors. On this episode, I had the lovely opportunity to talk with Caitlin and Terra from mmapod (look them up!), and they discussed their own struggles revolving around their perceived body image. Irregardless of what gender, size, age, nationality, or race, it's important to understand that we ALL face struggles and insecurities related to the way we look. The good thing is, society will always follow the most popular trend, so let's make celebrating all of our beautiful bodies the new standard. Enjoy, and Happy Listening!
