Who knew you could learn about yourself just from travel? Traveling brings more than just a vacation and seeing new places. It also brings us personal growth through experience, confidence, and out of our comfort zone. Some may even just find appreciation for their home and thats still growth. Fun fact: I learned my love for matcha by traveling to Las Vegas trying something I wouldn't at home. Spread your wings to a new destination and learn about you!

In order to flourish, I think you might be missing out on answering your inner child. This week's topic is all about that child you used to be. Thanks to a realization of feeling like I'm enjoying life again and feeling in harmony, I felt like you guys might want to do the same. I've seen a tremendous change in my mental health just by painting for fun again. I hope you feel that joy too :)

You know how they say you meet you best friend or you "person" in college? Well, meet Brandi. My person. Totally not planned but necessary, you are finally meeting my college best friend I always talk about. You'll learn more about me and a lot about Brandi. Brandi and I met a year ago in our college journeys and have been inseparable ever since.

I indirectly took a little social media detox and I wanna talk about it as our first episode back! Social media has become such a demanding place but, it doesn't have to be. Taking a social media break can be great for your mind and becoming more present in the moment. I took one month off and I wanna talk about what I did and how I felt.

This week's episode is probably my favorite one to date. It is 100% my number one requested topic and such an important one today. I am talking to one of my classmates and friend, Madelyn Siner. Madelyn brought up the topic of mental health to me because it is so important to her as it is to me as well. We live in a society today different from previous generations when it comes to mental health. We get as open as it gets hitting all the topics on the beginnings of our journeys, the signs, testing, and advice we would give from our situations. This one gets deep so if anything sounds triggering to you, please feel free to skip anything you need to. If something resignates with you, just know it is okay, seeking help is okay, and I'm your biggest cheerleader to support you if you need it. My DMs are always open. I love you and you are more than worthy. <3

This week we are talking about drinking and I don't mean water! We are talking about the idea of drinking alcohol at any age and the idea of drinking. Theres such an idea around drinking being the way people come together and the idea of drinking as a fun activity vs. not. I talk about how its totally okay to not and you're not alone!!!! Grab your mocktail, settle in, and listen in to my not so completely sober balanced mind.

People pleasing is something we have always been taught to do. These habits have been taught to us to make people happy even if its not for us! We need to start thinking of ourselves and stop sacrificing our happiness for other. We deserve to matter too. Our feelings are just as important so instead of sacrificing our own feelings, boundaries need to go up. We go over topics and q&a at the end of the episode straight from you the listeners!

If I had a brand deal for every time I've been requested this topic...that'd be a lot of brand deals. This week I'm talking about influencing and how I started in the influencing world and why I influence. Its a world bigger than a single picture of a product and and it has its own science to it! Posting your life can be even more fun when you connect with others and put something into the world. I go over brand deals, reality of brand deals, collaborations, media kits, and so many more! If you are thinking of taking on influencing at all in 2023, this episode is for you!

And like that college is over and you're left with...you don't even know. The world right? Nobody really prepares you for it though so lets talk about it. Meet Bri Clark! Bri is a Studio Manager at Orange Theory in her city, with a twist. The twist being the job isn't in her direct field of her four year degree and that is okay! Taking jumps for the better and getting out of your comfort zone is okay even after all those years planning it all out and being with left with that, "now what?" thought in the back of your head. Its not your average college journey, especially after graduation. We are talking all about how once the books are closed, there is no right answer anymore because its all up to you what you do with your career. Even if its not your career or interest of choice, the sky is the limit to take a chance on yourself. I loved hearing Bri's journey and I know you will to!

This week we are talking about food. I don't think we all think how important food is and what we put in our body is very important. More Importantly, what goes into our food plays into the functioning of our body and overall health. I have been deep diving more into it myself and this week I wanted to share that with you guys! I am talking about different types of foods, the additives, and food priorities when looking at labels. PLEASE REMEMBER: what works for me, might not work for you. I am not a health official, just sharing my thoughts on food to maybe help you :)

College looks completely different on the big screen and on social media. This week I wanna talk about how my college experience is/was so far compared to my best friends. Everybody's experience is different and its okay!! Its hard, its not always glamorous, and your plans change more than once and thats okay!! Your first taste of independence and learning who you are.

This week we are talking about friendships and feeling lonely in your 20's. Navigating the two of them together is so hard and we both have some experiences to share about them. Friendships come and go and so does the feeling of being lonely even when in a crowded room.You are not alone and being a twenty something is hard! So many new changes and things happening while still figuring out life. I brought my best friend on for a different yet similar perspective as a single twenty something compared to a married twenty something. THIS AUDIO IS UNEDITED FOR AUTHENTICITY <3

Living in harmony but with our boundaries for our minds and for our selves is what we are talking this week. Nobody should ever feel guilty for doing something or not doing something with anybody or anything! We need clear minds this fall and we need to do what is best for ourselves. Boundaries and balance is a challenge but growing up, its necessary to feel mentally free and happy to grow :)

Reseting, saying goodbye, and not being our own critic is in the air this Fall. I’m talking about what I’m doing to reset my mind, body, and routines while also answering your advice questions. We all get so caught up in the fast pace speed of life and how fast the sun rises to sunset with doing so many things just to feel productive. We live in the fear of failure if we don’t. That’s how we meet our friend “Burn Out” and I wanna break up with that friend and reset my daily life. I’m sharing my struggles, the updates, and what you can try. :)
