Above The Mean

Welcome to another solo episode!

In today's episode I talk about clearing space to make room for new opportunities. I feel like I recently went through a spiritual epiphany! The universe was sending me too many synchronicities that I just couldn't ignore!  

Have you ever been in a rut, a funk if you will and you just kind of find yourself in auto–pilot mode just going through the motions. Your body and mind are operating but only really out of muscle memory. I often find that in order to get myself out of that funk I have to either spice things up and try and do something completely new and different and challenging to kind of get my mind re stimulated or often times I just kind of sit and reflect and try to sit with my emotions and see what they’re really trying to tell me. I also share some life updates and my top three life lessons that I've learned in honor of me celebrating my 25 birthday at the end of the week!!

In this episode I’m joined by the go to YouTuber and advocate for creating your dream life Lynette Adkins. We bounced around some pretty interesting themes like navigating adulthood, labels and identities and the need to fit in and belong. As well as spiritual ego and so much more. The wine definitely started to kick in around the end and I think it definitely shows! I hope you guys enjoy our little girl chat! 

The YouTube video for this podcast episode will be up later this week!

Welcome to another solo episode!

In today's episode I talk about something that’s been on my mind lately and it’s the notion that you should keep your dreams and intentions to yourself.

Don’t get me wrong, I understand the fears that come from sharing your dreams with others. You worry that they might talk you out of it or that they won’t see and understand your vision but what if, instead of focusing on the negatives that may occur you shift your mindset and perspective to the opportunities that may open up for you because you spoke your dreams and intentions into existence.

In today’s Little special Valentines day episode you’ll listen to me and my friend Rae Williams, you may know her from the hit Netflix show The Ultimatum, have a little girl chat about dating culture, relationships, double standards and essentially reflecting on notions that we used to believe about dating that we no longer find to be true.

The wine was definitely flowing during this episode, easily one of the funniest episodes recorded so far!

Welcome to another solo episode!

A problem that we often encounter... is we gravitate towards ideas or thoughts that only validate our current beliefs. But the problem is that inevitably stops our growth and creativity. Listen as I explain the new shift in the podcast, and how moving forward I want to really dive into topics, beliefs and values that no longer serve us today in this vast ever changing world.

Welcome to another solo episode! 

Do you ever find yourself hoping from task to task. Hour to hour? Day to day? Week to week? Mindlessly; life just seems to kind of all blur together and you find yourself wondering where the time has gone? Then this episode is for you!

In this episode I want to talk about; what it means to be intentional and how to begin living life with intent. Being Intentional helps you understand the importance and purpose of your bigger vision and guides your mind and actions to help you achieve it. I discuss a framework based off four Stoic philosophies that I found to be very useful when it comes to breaking down what it means to live intentionally, and help you find your purpose whatever that may be.

Welcome to another solo episode! This episode marks the conclusion of the Learning to love and understand ourselves series. In this episode I want to talk about; setting boundaries aka having healthy relationships with others. From childhood, we’re often taught to bend and mold ourselves to make others comfortable. So it’s no wonder some of us find it difficult to set appropriate boundaries as we get older.

It’s not easy to set boundaries, we don’t often get pleasure telling others no. But we do it because it’s healthy for ourselves. In this episode listen as I explore the different types of boundaries, give some life examples as well as tips on how to set healthy boundaries with others so that you can begin to foster healthy and happy relationships.
