AND WE’RE LIVE FOR SEASON TWO!

I'm so excited to be back for Season 2 of BOP! This season on Becoming Obsessed, I’m diving deep into the concept of shedding your “shoulds” and focusing on what truly matters in life. Together, we’ll explore what it means to live authentically, while managing stress and expectations, and finding joy in the journey, despite life's messiness.

I talk about the challenges of balancing a multifaceted life, including professional ambitions, personal growth, health, and relationships. I'm getting extra vulnerable and sharing my personal struggles with managing expectations and the societal push towards 'more', and what I’m doing to achieve a fulfilling life.

So whether your year has been a little messy, or if it's going exactly according to plan, I invite you to join me for season two of Becoming Obsessed. We’ve got this!

It is the Season 1 finale of Becoming Obsessed- can you believe it?

Throughout this season, I’ve learned a lot and made a lot of discoveries of what I want my life to look like. From embracing what quitting looks like to building a community, my life is pivoting and I want to take the Becoming Obsessed podcast with me.

In season 2, I’m going to dive deeper into the concept of what “enough” is, what it means to live a full and fulfilled life, and focus on the eight areas of life, including community, family, finances, fun and recreation, health and wellness, home and spaces, spiritual and personal growth, and work and learning.

Thank you for following along with Season 1- I am SO excited to share Season 2 with you! Until then - let’s go get obsessed!

In continuation from last week’s episode, we explore steps three and four, where we focus on defining success and abundance, and making the conscious decision to love ourselves and our lives.

Hey there! In this episode, I dive into my personal travel journey and reflect on the "shoulds" that I have let determine how I spend my time traveling, and how they no longer serve me.

I talk about my experiences of both solo travel and traveling in groups, finding the balance between embracing adventure and seeking comfort, and the promise that no matter where you are, you will always have the opportunity to find companions to share memorable experiences with. Take this as your sign to let go of your "shoulds" that might be holding you back from following your dreams. Take it from me- it's worth it!
