Welcome back to another episode of S.M.H.! This week I have a friend on as she provides insight as to what it was like growing up in a religious environment, while coming to the realization that she was gay. Invasion of privacy, homophobia, and life transitions are covered, as well as a comedic list of the different 'genres' of lesbians (ex. chapstick lesbians). I hope you learn something from this episode, or take away a piece of advice if you are on your own journey of understanding your sexuality. You're loved and welcomed here <3

We all (mostly) have it--social media. Whether it's Instagram, Facebook, Tik Tok, YouTube, Pinterest, or Twitter I am sure you've used at least one form. Growing up in the world of technology I have a lot of thought about the role of social media in our lives, and this week we are discussing it!

We've all been there, an 'epic failure'. But when it comes down to it, what does that even mean? Who gets to define failure? This week I discuss the importance of failing and why it is necessary in order to be successful.

Welcome back everybodyyyy let's party! Okay maybe not party, but we ARE discussing the rules for being a Hot Girl...or the newly founded 10 commandments if you will.  I hope everyone takes one thing from this episode and starts actively applying it to their own life, because ultimately, everyone holds the potential to be a Hot Girl. Enjoy!

In this episode, I talk about how I have been feeling in regard to the way things are 'supposed' to be, and why that is well...bullshit. Stop placing pieces of your life into boxes in which you think you are supposed to live in, and start doing whatever you want. Life is short! Have fun, be kind, and be creative.

This week I am introducing a new sub-series where we discuss trendy topics and discuss some of the research backing it, to see whether it deserves the hype or if it's a hoax. I have been seeing gut health trending for a while now, and wanted to cover some of the information behind it to determine whether or not it is a legitimate thing. Join me as we come to a conclusion!

Hello everyone! This week I sat down with my friend, Kat, and we discussed body image and our own personal struggles with it. Please be aware that some sensitive topics are discussed in this episode, so if you think you might be easily triggered (i.e., disordered eating) maybe skip this one!

A classic Florida storm hit us, so pI apologize for the noise, learning curves!

This week join me as I discuss why striving to be 'That Girl' is not always ideal, and can actually set you up for failure. Any progress, whether that be physical or mental, is going to be obtained through realistic goal-setting and sustainability, not perfection or quick-fixes.

At some point or another, most of us will experience that terrible pit-in-the-stomach of heartbreak. It is not easy, and it truly does suck. But, breakups are a chance to put yourself first, raise your standards, and grow from the hardships. This week we discuss how to get over a breakup, and why they should be viewed at in a more positive light, all with a shift in mindset.
