She's trying all the latest trends and classes so that you don’t have to. She's obsessed with making sure she lives the healthiest life, mentally and physically. Jen shared her story, how she started YouTube and podcast, what was it like to put herself out on social video. We talked everything about self-care and self-love, the best ways to relax and how to find what you like. We also discussed burnouts, and Jen opened about her way to overcome this period of time.

In this episode, I interviewed Jasmine Irven. She is a Certified Meditation Teacher and the founder of the Sustainable Bliss Collective, a self-care community and membership for ambitious women who need the reminder to slow down and schedule their self-care instead of letting it be the first thing to fall off of their to-do list. She guides weekly meditation and journaling classes (both drop in and membership based) which offer a mix of intention setting and relaxation classes. Her goal is to help you reconnect with yourself rather than letting the external world dictate your decisions, and to help you reduce overwhelm and stress, so you can feel calm even when you have a busy schedule.
This episode is pretty long, and it’s the longest conversation that I have ever record, but it’s so informative! If you have been curious in meditation for a while or you a new to it, you will find all answers and learn an unbelievable amount of information.
Jasmine and I talked about how she started her platform and journey with meditation, spirituality, and inner peace. We got all information about platform and Jasmine answer to some frequent-asked questions about meditation.

Sadie conducts impactful and inspirational interviews with subject matter experts, fellow teenagers, and social media personalities to break down the stigma surrounding mental health and inspire teens to create their life worth living. Sadie's episodes offer self-improvement tips, DBT education, and vulnerable personal experiences, making it a show for anyone struggling or interested in mental health. Sadie is an incoming psych major at the University of Pennsylvania and hopes to pursue a career in clinical psychology to further her impact in the mental health field.
We talked about her community "She Persisted", mental health, parents and teachers' support, teen problems, pressure from society and celebrities' documentaries as Paris Hilton and Demi Lovato. She shared her perspective and gave so many useful advices.
Also, I want to but TW about suicide, mental health issues, panic attacks, sleep paralyses.

In this episode, I interviewed an incredible Alyssa. She is a fashion and lifestyle content creator based in Toronto and Vancouver. She is also a business student at Ryerson University, but loves using her social media as a platform for her creativity.
She was inspired to create her own YouTube channel because she wanted to share her passion for travel, food, and fashion with others. Alyssa’s goal is to continue improving her social media content, while prioritizing her mental and physical health. She believes in using social media positively, while understanding and sharing the downsides of living in a heavily digital world. In the future, Alyssa will continue posting aesthetically pleasing content, but she would also like to discuss insightful topics with her followers.
We talked about content creation, inspiration, putting yourself on social media, dealing with hate. Also discussed how to be confident on pictures, run for likes and followers, new Instagram update that helps your mental health, the importance of routine and so much more.
