Ambivalent Bitches

In today's episode, I am joined by Laura Skaar, an attorney based in the suburbs of Chicago who is writing a funny, relatable, and brutally honest book about losing a parent as a millennial.

Additionally, Laura opens up about the conversations she wishes she would have had with her mother, a few dos and don'ts for friends of grieving people, why she decided to take the book route to get her message out there, and how she balances being a wife, lawyer, and author-in-the-making so efficiently.

In today's episode, I am opening up about the challenges I have been facing with my body, both inside and out. Additionally, I chat about feeling guilty for being body-conscious as a smaller-bodied person, knowing when it’s time to seek professional support, and reintegrating movement from a place of love rather than hate.

In today's episode, we are going back to the basics with a sassy solo where I get shockingly honest about where I’m at as a content creator and human being. Additionally, I discuss my decision to distance myself from social media, viewing change as empowering rather than defeatedly, and not asking for permission to become the person you want to be.
