In this episode, I talk about a society living in a hustle culture mentality. We're always thinking about the next thing and never allowing our minds to rest. The hustle culture neglects rest and we think of rest as a privilege. It has blinded many of us to think we can do it all. The hustle culture should not be glamorized the way it is.

Self-care isn't selfish. Let's be honest, self-care is very important but most of us neglect our self-care routines. In this episode, I share my simple morning and night routine that makes me feel like I have my life together. Everyone's routine is different, so I am hoping you find a routine that works best for you. Taking care of yourself isn't selfish, it's necessary.

In this episode, I talk about diet pills and working out 5 days per week. Do you relate to eating junk food and later "working it off"? This was me prior to 2020. Today I now have a healthy relationship with food. My simple healthy eating habits have given me more than weight loss, 21 lbs. down, 21 inches off. Small habits lead to big changes. 

Society is finally opening up again. Although certain things won't be back to 'normal' again. It's still important to embrace this new change and enjoy the little things coming your way. Not everyone has the luxury of having a safe space at home. Some of us are ready to go out and spend time with friends and loved ones. People are ready to travel, explore, and do fun things again. Moving forward, whatever is best for your mental health, do that. Even if it means taking a bit longer to adjust to the 'new norm' society. 

In this episode, let's talk about a lack of motivation. We all feel it, we all experience it. Finding why you lack motivation can be simple if you start with one of the 3 categories: social groups, environment, and excessive workdays. Giving yourself rest is not lazy, it is important and highly encouraged.

I've always loved the saying, diamonds are made under pressure <3 In this episode, I share how pressure comes into your life when new things are happening and change is coming. Nobody likes change but it's necessary for growth. Pressure can feel overwhelming, that is why taking breaks and prioritizing yourself is necessary. I also share about my first therapy session and how a support system is very important and crucial to your mental health.
