Hi everyone! Today's episode discusses the "silent luxury" movement and this talk of being inauthentic in order to get what you want. I have been noticing that a lot of the content geared toward real relationships includes manipulating and lying or desiring a transactional relationship (which is fine if that's what u want). But the line is constantly blurred between actual love and being with someone for other reasons.

Hi everyone! In today's episode I discuss recent books I've read, recent pop culture moments, and review all about love by bell hooks.
- Please note when I discuss celebrities and their diet/practices my goal is never to shame them but to have a discussion about how what they do may be harmful. At the end of the day, you really don't know what else may be happening behind the scenes, and what I talk about is based on information I've seen in small bits and pieces.

Hi everyone! Today's episode discusses spirituality and some concepts I still struggle with. Also, there is a noise in the background which I now realize are my necklaces hitting each other while I talk so this will definitely be fixed next episode and I'm so sorry if it was distracting!
- ps: these are just my personal observations and I think what's true for one person might be false for another one, but its more the idea that if you think you are better than someone simply because you act in a different way, that defeats the whole purpose of being spiritual.

*ps: in my nonviolent communication conversation, I actually made a mistake and forgot to say our requests shouldn't ask someone what not to do but what they'd be willing to do. I worded my little roleplay wrong which shows I'm still learning! I'll try to make a clarification in the next episode.

Hi everyone! Today's episode discusses my recent experience with wisdom teeth and a newfound allergy I didn't know I had. Feeling pushed back from the things you normally love doing can be very frustrating, especially when you've grown up being taught that rest is not productive (but it totally is!). It's ok to take a break and I've been trying to undo the belief that my worth is tied to my productivity.

Hey guys! In today's episode, I talk about my law school experience and learning to live for myself! When I talk about my LSAT score I wanted to clarify I got a 156 my first time writing not a 158! Also, I'm still considering law school but wanted to emphasize that my choice not to go this September was for me because I needed to know I'm doing it for the right reasons and not for others' approval or for money.
