21 year old me would be cringing, thinking that I settled for a boring old "9 to 5" where I'm just another cog in this societal machine. Oh, how the tables have turned. I discuss the struggles I experienced in adjusting to my full-time job, and how things ended up getting better. I also touch on some of the messaging out there that can stigmatize living a more "normal" life - or you know, being part of the "rat race". This episode goes out to any fellow young business owners who are feeling stuck and lost, worried that if they get a job, they will be giving up on their dreams.

Happy 2023 and happy 1st anniversary to this podcast! With it being a new year, I thought it was relevant to discuss new things you can implement into your life in order to feel more alive (that don't require any substance use). This is in no way to shame anyone and suggest that alcohol is evil, this episode is simply a reminder to check your habits and your intentions behind your habits. Bring more balance into how you can experience fun.

Listen before setting your 2023 intentions
In this episode, I talk about how self-development is much more than drinking green juice and having the most hardcore morning routine. It's time to get back to what actually matters: balance and presence. Reflect on your current habits & routines, and make sure they actually align to what you want in your life from here on out. This is your journey, it doesn't have to look like anyone else's.

I've missed y'all :') don't know how often I'll be able to post, but I wanted to share an update and talk about seasons of change. I discuss how this past summer was a very extraverted one, and now it's time to feel more into the introvert life as fall approaches. Some deep stuff as usual.

I got a new job!!! I discuss the how, what, why, when, etc. Make this episode a game and count the amount of times I say "burn out". Lol, fortunately the burn out I refer to is regarding what I felt in my first year after college. That time has now passed, and my intuition is leading me down a new path.

Getting real about my ongoing experience with depression. I talk about what it's been like to deal with it on and off for 8 years, my experiences with therapy, medications, anxiety, and how a therapist isn't the end-all-be-all solution to making someone better. Therapy can help for sure, but ultimately, it's up to the person to want to get better.
Trigger warning: depression, anxiety, negative thoughts

Calling out self growth culture on it's over-prioritization of being alone and under-prioritization of fulfilling relationships! I love personal growth and all that jazz but... what if focusing so much on ourselves is leading us towards loneliness, narcissism, and closed hearts? The truth shall be revealed in today's episode. I also talk about some life updates, my breakup, and what it means to be an HSP.

Welcome back everyone! In this episode, I share some life updates and then go into detail about my fitness journey. Trigger warning: I mention weight and body image, so if that's a sensitive subject for you, I completely understand and would recommend skipping this episode. My hope with sharing my journey is that I can inspire you to try new things when it comes to fitness. I also discuss the importance of listening to your INTUITIONNNN and practicing intuitive eating.

Diving into my thoughts on human design and astrology... astrology being a bit of a loaded subject these days... I discuss how there's a gray area when it comes to believing in these philosophies/pseudosciences. In my Psych classes, I was taught a certain perspective. But, my personal experience has shown me how human design and astrology can be beneficial for understanding the nature of people and oneself.

About 10:30 minutes in, there was a part cut off about how I invested in a 8-week long women’s coaching program. I talk all about my first year of being a small business owner and running an online coaching business. There were successes, setbacks, times of stagnation, and times of deep self-reflection. I also talk about some things that I think everyone should be aware of in the online coaching space (specifically, coaching that relates to new age spirituality). Lastly, I touch on the importance of prioritizing what makes you feel alive & present. ---> I'm offering personalized guided meditations! Click here. Check out my website

Guest episode!!! I'm joined by my lovely boyfriend, Ethan, to discuss our college experiences and how we found our way towards our true passions. We both began college with the intent of pursuing astrophysics, however, neither of us ending up sticking with that subject. One of us switched over to the Psychology field, and the other found Medical Physics. We dive into the struggles we went through, and how those struggles ultimately benefited our personal growth. We also touch on the importance of knowing how to Google, learning how to learn, and being okay with disagreement. One or two side tangents in the mix -- fox videos, yoga, and other random things that Gen Z-ers talk about.

I talk about my spiritual awakening, trendy mantras/ideologies, and how you can still raise your vibration while giving yourself the time and space to be sad/anxious/frustrated/etc. "Positive vibes only" is not the end-all-be-all.
