In this episode, I’m calling out 10 social norms and basic etiquette rules we should all know by now (unless you have been living under a rock)(but i know you haven't been so listen up).

From personal space and movie theater manners to respecting boundaries, dressing appropriately, and not reheating fish at work and so so so much more!

Let’s talk about the unwritten rules of being a decent human & as always, I'd love to hear your thoughts :)

#EP. 33 // I *quit* social media!!!!

In this episode, I’m talking about why I decided to step away from Instagram and TikTok, stop trying to be everywhere online, and focus my energy on creating things I actually enjoy.

We’re talking social media burnout, doom scrolling, creator culture, comparison, and what happens when you stop living for the internet and start being more intentional with your time.

#EP. 32 // Social media is changing… and honestly, it’s getting a little weird.

In this episode, I’m sharing my thoughts on the current state of social media: from AI-generated content and increasingly searchable platforms to endless ads, privacy, algorithms, and the pressure to constantly create.

As someone who used to work in social media, I’ve been paying close attention to how much the internet has changed and what that means for creators.

- Are we becoming the content we consume?

- Is authenticity actually what people want?

- And in an internet where everyone seems to be doing the same thing, how do you stand out without losing yourself in the process?

I also get into why I think substance, personality, and binge-able content are becoming more important than ever. Basically, this is me taking a step back from social media and asking: what are we actually paying to participate in all of this?

#EP. 31 // We often talk about surviving depression, but almost never about what happens after.

In this vulnerable episode of Another Kreative Podkast, I share my experience of rebuilding life after a depressive episode: 

rediscovering joy, navigating identity, learning to trust happiness again, and finding hope in the process of becoming. 

If you've ever felt lost after making it through a difficult season, this conversation is for you.

Content Warning: This episode contains discussions of depression, suicidal ideation, and mental health.

#EP. 30 // Lately, I've been feeling like we're all becoming... a little too predictable.

We watch the same shows, wear the same clothes, repeat the same opinions, and spend more time consuming life than actually living it. 

But I don't think people are boring… I think we've forgotten how to be curious.

In today's episode, I'm sharing 10 ways to become more interesting by stepping away from the algorithm and reconnecting with the things that make you uniquely you. We talk about hobbies, creativity, fashion, learning, confidence, community, and why caring deeply about something is one of the coolest things you can do.

Maybe becoming more interesting isn't about standing out.

Maybe it's about becoming fully present in your own life.

#EP. 29 // Have you ever felt like you knew someone just because you followed them online? In this episode, I'm diving into the world of parasocial relationships!!!

How social media has changed the way we connect, why we often feel closer to people than we actually are, and what I've learned from meeting creators and internet friends in real life. This is an honest conversation about online personas, genuine connection, and why it's important to remember that what we see online is rarely the full picture.

If you've ever compared yourself to someone on the internet or felt emotionally invested in people you've never met, this episode is for you and if it's not, I'm glad you stuck around anyways :)

#EP. 28 // Are you waiting for your life to begin?

If you've ever caught yourself saying, "I'll be happy when..." or "I'll finally start living once I figure everything out," this episode is for you.

In this follow-up to EP 18: “You're Getting in the Way of Your Own Success," we're talking about what happens after you realize you're the one holding yourself back. How do you stop waiting for the perfect moment? How do you let go of perfectionism, embrace the messy middle, and actually enjoy the journey of becoming?

In this episode, I share my own struggles with feeling stuck, rebuilding healthy habits, navigating the uncomfortable in-between phase of life, and learning why falling in love with the process might be more important than reaching the destination.

If you're in your 20s (or honestly any stage of life) and feel like you're still figuring things out, I hope this conversation reminds you that you don't have to have it all together to move forward.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why waiting for the "perfect time" keeps us stuck
• The uncomfortable reality of the becoming phase
• Letting go of perfectionism and fear
• Learning to enjoy the process instead of chasing the outcome
• Building habits that align with the life you want
• Redefining what success really means

Remember: your life isn't on pause. You don't have to wait until you've "made it" to find joy. The person you're becoming is built in the small, ordinary moments and those moments deserve to be celebrated, too.

#EP. 27 // It's been 10 years since the Class of 2016 graduated high school... and honestly? I'm having a bit of an existential crisis about it.

In this episode, I'm reflecting on the last decade of my life: the dreams I chased, the fears I overcame, the versions of myself I've outgrown, and the reality that life doesn't always look the way we thought it would when we were 18.

I share more about my social anxiety, healing after burnout, leaving my career behind, finding my way back to creativity, reinventing yourself, romanticizing your life, and the strange feeling of realizing you're both exactly where you're supposed to be and nowhere near where you thought you'd be :))))

If you've ever looked around and wondered, "What happened to the last 10 years?" this conversation is for you.

Remember: you're not behind, you're not running out of time, and it's never too late to become the person you're meant to be.

#EP. 26 // if you aren't growing on social media... this might be why | let's talk about the honest creator

What if the secret to “making it” as a creator isn’t strategy… but honesty?

In this episode, I'm talking about why the honest creator always wins. The ones who are vulnerable, real, and unapologetically themselves. In other words, it's the creators who invite you into their world and make you feel like you’re part of their journey!

I break down what actually sets these creators apart:

- From how they tell stories and build genuine connection

- To why they prioritize community over numbers

We also get into what we can learn from them and how you can start showing up more authentically in your own content.

If you’ve ever felt pressure to perform, perfect, or “fit the algorithm”… this one’s your reminder that being YOU is the real advantage. Enjoyyyyy!!!

#EP. 25 // In this episode, I’m reflecting on everything my mid 20s taught me now that I’ve officially entered my late twenties. ✨

These years were filled with a lot of growth, hard lessons, healing, and moments where I had to learn to bet on myself even when things felt uncertain. From advocating for myself and prioritizing my mental AND physical health to learning that not every relationship is meant to last, my mid 20s pushed me to grow in ways I never expected.

If you’re navigating your 20s (or just going through a season of change), this episode is a reminder that the messy, confusing seasons often shape us the most, especially if they don't break ya :)
