I call myself a MEGA-introvert but does that mean I'm a loner? In this episode we break down the struggles and joys(!) of being introverted and how to deal with the loneliness and FOMO/ FOBLO (side note: I absolutely did not coin this idk why I said that lmao). Listen on fellow INFJ's !! (And how many are there of us btw...)

I'm sincerely sorry for the audio and the spite against my microphone... anywho, on today's episode we discuss the very fun topic of self-hatred. Why do we hate ourselves? And, hopefully, how can we stop the hate? Along the way we discuss insecurities and feeling like you're a morally reprehensible person. Happy season four!!

You've heard of hot girl summer introducing: Sad Girl Winter.
brief note from me: in this episode I made up a name for a problem I was having about school, but mental health disorders are extremely serious and should be treated as such! Joking around from time to time, as I do in this episode, is fine so long as we acknowledge that these are serious issues and diagnosis’ should come from professionals
Sending love to you all xoxo

But is it really all that good to romanticize cities and only show the perfect sides? Spoiler alert: It's not. We also discuss in-state v out-of-state college because... junior year.

Now more than ever, teenagers are hyper-aware about living a sustainable and environmentally-friendly lifestyle. On this episode I share the story of my journey with sustainability as well as how we can all be more sustainable in our everyday lives. Although trying to live a sustainable lifestyle is admirable, it also has some adverse effects (particularly nitpicking/ judging others's choices & extreme nihilism about climate change. The best thing we can do is find balance. take care of urself xoxo

As a incoming high school junior, (who still feels and acts like a freshman) I've picked up a few tips and tricks when it comes to studying, making close high school friends and casual ones, and how to take care of your mental health in a school system that seems like it is working 24/7 to send you into a depressive episode.Â
xoxo & have a lovely back to school season (oxymoron!)

Hello world and welcome to a continuation of last week's episode on body image. On today's episode, I discuss the body positivity movement and the many flaws I see within it. Everything from putting too much focus on how bodies look, to food and fitness influencers, to making teenage girls the leaders of the movement. This is a very nuanced subject and I definitely don't have the best perspective, but I hope that what I say at least makes you think a little. xoxo Alyssa

On today's episode, I talk about why teenagers (particular teenage girls) have such bad body image. I touch on how crazy it is that young children are being taught that their genetically pre-determined body structure is being examined as either "beautiful" or "not". I also talk about everyone's favorite / least favorite app: TikTok. TikTok, along with most other types of social media, are seriously hurting teens in the self-love department. Remember that your body is simply a vessel to help you experience the joys of life and it is never worth damaging for a like. xoxo Alyssa

Even though it's summer, Katie and I can't stop thinking about the American school system's flaws. We talk standardized testing disparities, homework overloads, and not actually having fun while learning. It was so much fun to have Katie on the podcast again not only because she offers new perspectives (private school vs public school) but also because talking with her just goes to show how much wisdom she has:)

Hey y'all!!! Long LONG time, no see. However, we are back to the weekly podcast schedule and I couldn't be more excited!! On today's episode, I deep dive into Olivia Rodrigo's new album SOUR and rank my favorite songs (hello good 4 u and happier!!) I also talk about authenticity: something I struggle with a lot. Let's be honest, we all love authentic people, but actually opening up to the rest of the world about your flaws and the shadows of life is difficult to say the least. In my opinion, no one can be 100% authentic, but enough writing, listen to the episode for my full explanation!

College, jobs, marriage, kids, pets- all of it is discussed (in great detail) in this episode. I talk a bit about the conflicting struggle between majoring in something you love versus something the world needs, why I really don't think having kids is a good idea, and where I want to go to college.

Social media, the one thing that can connect a teenager from the United States with an extremely fashionable elderly couple from Japan. Like most teens, I am completely addicted to social media. But like everything entertaining in life, social media has its fair share of downsides. In this episode I talk about the 4 social media platforms I've used / currently use (Instagram, SnapChat, Pinterest, and TikTok) and all of their downsides. From comparison, to insecurity, to rabbit holes this is a pretty negative episode so... listener discretion is advised.

Always fashionably late to the trends, today I talk about why the Nickelodeon animated series Avatar the Last Airbender is the best show I have ever watched. Yes I am fully aware that Avatar was at its peak popularity on TikTok during summer but in my defense, I didn't have Netflix in the summer. Tune in to listen to my opinions on Aang, Katara, Sokka, Zuko, Uncle Iroh, Azula, and Toph (the best). Also I talk about what type of bender I am, although to be honest I think I might be the Sokka of the group when it comes to bending abilities.Â

Today we talk about racism in the fashion and modeling industry. Fashion is a big culprit for covert racism and it needs to be changed. I also talk about Black Lives Matter and recent protests sparked by the multiple deaths of innocent black lives.

I have been really stressed out lately so I wanted to talk about where my stress comes from, how it affects me, and a lot of other semi emo stuff. Also, I talk about comparison, validation, and being "perfect". Listen to this episode if you are feeling really pressured and hopefully it will help having some equally stressed out company! -Alyssa PS: I didn't mention this in the episode, but if you are feeling extremely stressed and worried, please talk to someone about it and seek professional help. May is mental health month, so make sure to take extra notice of how your mental health is ~vibing~.  Follow me on instagram: @mirrorimagepod For your voice to be heard↓

Whether it be typical spring cleaning or quarantine-boredom cleaning, you've probably gotten to tackling your closet. One of the most sustainable things ways to repurpose your clothing is to resell it! Today, I talk all about how to sell your clothes on different apps, websites, and social media platforms. I also talk about how to take good pictures of clothing... cue self-timer. Follow me on instagram Fashion is something I love, but it is a challenge to balance it with being eco-friendly. Hope this episode helps everyone listening! Remember: when it comes to environmentalism, it is not about one person doing everything right, it is about everyone trying to do be a little bit better. BTW: Even though I talk about a couple of brands, this episode is not sponsored and nothing is an affiliate link:) Poshmark Depop ThredUP Articles: HuffPost - What Thrift Stores Actually Do With Donated Clothes The Atlantic - Where Does Discarded Clothing Go?

Today's episode is on the reusable straw debate! Let me know if you guys like these shorter episodes:) Here's a summary on the straws: Plastic: Avoid. At. All. Costs. Paper: Avoid (save the trees). Metal: If you have one, keep it. If you don't have one and don't need it, skip the metal. Bamboo: If you really need one, buy it. All in all, most people don't need straws. And if you don't truly need something, why buy it? Skip the straw, save an ocean. Follow me on instagram Bamboo Straws: Affordable option Different sizes Amazon option Sources: NY Times Vice Video NRDC Esquire Mag USA Today For your voice to be heard↓

On today's episode we are talking about the tangled web that is body image/self image/self worth. Basically, 28 minutes of me stumbling through words, getting mad at the air conditioning, and talking about things that I have no authority on! Listen to hear me switch topics 10 minutes in, give funny/sad anecdotes about my experiences, and say "like" a million times. In all seriousness, this is an extremely important topic. I hope this inspires conversations about self image with others. These types of chill, chatty episodes are made to just reflect on... life, I guess. Or, if you need a little company:) I wanted to make a more "candid" episode so you guys can get a feel for what this podcast will be like as a whole. Let me know if you guys enjoy these types of episodes:) Next one will be on the Clean Water Crisis (a continuation of the Environmental Series)... stay tuned!

Hey guys!! Hope you enjoy the first episode on climate change! This is such an important issue and it is great to be able to have conversation about it. If you're passionate about this subject or anything topic affecting teens please let me know! In this episode we talk about evidence for climate change, causes, my personal opinion on the subject, and how to help:) I want to address how greenhouse gasses work since I did not mention it in my episode. These gasses trap solar energy onto our planet which makes it warmer. This, in turn, creates all the effects that I talked about If you're interested in more depth on these gases click here I hope that the audio quality was not too bad on this episode... also I'm sorry for my excessive use of and, like, umm,  and but.
