And Everything In Between

I've been dying to make an episode about my music taste for a while now, and I'm excited to share my playlists, fave artists, and song recommendations with you guys in this episode. Of course by this time next week, I'll probably have 5 new playlists and 100 more favorite songs, but for now I give you all my music opinions, and I also conquered my indecisiveness by choosing my favorite artists (in order) AND my top 5 fave songs of theirs. Enjoy this chaotic episode!

I'm back from Florida!!! I read 4 books in 6 days on my trip, but sadly had no one to discuss them with. So I'm discussing them with you guys, along with why reading is so crucial in this day and age. Books and short stories teach us so many valuable lessons and help us understand complex social issues in a simple "he said" "she said". Picking up a book is like opening your eyes to a whole new world...

I think we're all feeling the seasonal depression right now. The gloomy weather and cold has been catching up to me, and I'm honestly at my breaking point. In this episode I talk about seasonal depression, why it happens, & ways to push through it. Cold weather directly affects our mood, self-confidence, and general happiness in so many ways.  Can summer just be here already?

This episode is part 2/2 on friendship. I dive into the whole subject of gossip, including harmful gossip vs. harmless gossip and having friends that gossip. I also discuss fighting with friends & how to resolve those conflicts (whatever u do, DO NOT fight over text!), as well as losing friends and feeling pressured to give your friends good advice. Some advice of my own-- you are not their therapist! And does anyone else sometimes get annoyed at people for no reason?

In honor of Valentine's day, this episode is all about friendship. I answer the question "how do you make new friends?" (& I promise that it does get easier), along with sharing my personal friendship evolution, differentiating toxic vs. non-toxic friends, and discussing the idea of having an ultimate #1 bestie. This episode is part 1 of 2. I also hope you enjoy my *interesting* stories from my time in middle school...

I think we can all agree 12 year olds now don't look like us when we were 12. Kids (especially girls) are growing up faster than ever, but why is that exactly? In this episode I delve into all of society's pressures on young girls to act more mature. Whether that's social media, the film industry, adults, or makeup companies, they all have devastating effects on the younger generation-- and their self confidence.

This episode is slightly different from the others. Instead of covering one topic, I share a collection of my latest thoughts. Some mini-topics I discuss are John Watson's Little Albert experiment & how phobias/other behaviors can be conditioned, the connection music has to our mood & personality, and the importance in saying NO.

Since it's officially 2022, I wanted to make an episode covering New Year's and all of the customs that come with it. Resolutions, new year "new me" (plus why that phrase needs to go), and feeling like crap because your year wasn't all rainbows & unicorns. Hopefully this episode also inspires some ideas for YOUR New Year resolutions list. Follow @andeverythinginbetweenpodcast on Instagram for more.
