No Nonsense - Always Ask Questions: Recent Episodes

Shelby Seymore

No Nonsense is a podcast all about creating yourself. Using ideas from different disciplines, I've created tools to help you discover where your thoughts, beliefs, and feelings come from. I fundamentally believe that once you discover how your brain is wired, you can break it down and rebuild in into who you want to be!

This podcast works in conjunction with my weekly YouTube videos (No Nonsense) and my blog posts with free worksheets (sseymore.com).

This 5-minute podcast is just a small pep talk to help you get through the next five minutes. We all have moments where we feel like we cannot do it anymore. We want to give up. Everyone has been there, love. The best in the world at one point wanted to give up. You're going to make it. Just keep standing up, darling. You are not alone.
