Authentic You.

Let's talk about our physical appearance. In this episode, I talk about how we all care about the way we look. Everyone's New Year's Resolution is to workout, get fit, and healthy. But let's be honest...how long does that last? Once we lose that motivation in the month of January, we negatively beat ourselves up for it. Like you and many others, I struggle with my own self-image. Learn to embrace the body you're in.

Professional counseling is always advised. Authentic You is not a form or replacement of therapy; however, it is always encouraged. In this episode, I strongly admit to pushing things aside that will soon cost me later. If you do this, is this considered neglecting ones mental health? Be careful with your words, everyone is fighting a silent battle. I am hoping this episode encourages you to reach a new level of surface. #MentalHealthMatters

In this episode, I talk about feeling mentally exhausted. This feeling can become a burden in our every day life when we experience mental health issues. It's okay to have these feelings. You are not alone. Some days are easy and some days are hard. It's been a tiring year for many of us. Give yourself rest for the upcoming new year.

As we get older, we start to dread our birthday...but this day is a celebration of life! In this episode, I talk about how often some of us dread our birthday. This is the only day we sit and compare our entire past year of what we didn't get to accomplish. Remember, everyone's timeline is different. The expectations of having your life figured out by your early twenties can be damaging to your mental health. We are constantly determining our worth by an age number. You're not alone. Most people never have it figured out, so be kind to yourself on your special day.

10/10 I don’t recommend moving the middle of the semester. In this episode, I share my experience living in Alabama…even if it was for 3 months. Pros and cons living in the south and my reason for leaving in the middle of the semester (graduate school). This is a highlighted overview of my personal experience so take everything with a grain of salt. All I can take with me are the lessons I've learned with living in the south.

If you’re someone who overthinks (like me) then listen to this episode. Oversharing: what is appropriate to share, how much should we share with others? All of these different topics can lead us to being over-everything. It’s okay to admit that life can get difficult sometimes and that we aren’t able to handle the pressure in life. It’s your life, don’t ever feel you owe anyone an explanation. Whatever you’re going through, keep moving forward. As always, thank you for listening.

In this episode, it’s encouraged you listen with an open-mind. This is an important topic that needs to be discussed. I’m bringing awareness on the topics that are happening in our society (2021).

Not everyone is good for your mental health, including family relationships. Some family members can be draining, unsupportive, or both. In this episode, I bring awareness on how the influence of family members can negatively affect your life. It’s important to put yourself first and have set boundaries, even with family members. Family doesn’t always come first, you do.
