I see a lot of young adults, including myself, struggle with making and keeping commitments. Commitments to responsibilities, jobs, relationships, etc. I believe that the commitments we make and whether or not we follow through with those commitments plays a major role in how we view ourselves. It can also impact the way we are perceived by the people we care about. In this episode I discuss the importance of making commitments, following through with them, and how commitments can promote growth in both our personal and professional lives. 

It's graduation week!! In honor of my sweet baby sister & cousin graduating this week, I wanted to provide a sense of comfort to any of you on this same journey. It is a scary and intimidating feeling, and if you do not have the knowledge you need you may fall into a state of deep depression and anxiety. We are all given a set of expectations to follow after graduating, but are these expectations even realistic? Today I want to discuss why we feel this overwhelming sense of loss after leaving High School, and what ways we can move forward with hope!

So I've been thinking a lot about how I used to handle the feeling of jealousy VS how I've learned to handle it now. Jealousy is ultimately about YOU. It's about how you feel about yourself. It's about the story you tell yourself about a situation you're skeptical of. Jealousy is a naturally feeling, but it is important to learn how to channel the feelings of jealousy and envy into constructive feelings. In this episode I discuss what I've learned about feeling jealousy VS acting jealous. It's a lot easier for us to control our actions over our feelings.  If you can learn and understand how to deal with your jealousy, you can use it as a way to consider your values. I hope you learn something new from this episode, it was very fun to read about and record. 

In the past I struggled with multiple thinking errors. Thinking errors are totally normal, but not an ideal way to look at life. If you can identify them and work to improve in those areas, you will be much happier and more successful. In this episode we will discuss 11 different thinking errors, and also the difference between the "Growth Mindset" and the "Fixed Mindset". As you listen, see if you can identify any of them inside your own mind. Sometimes it can feel like a shot to your ego and you may want to push these ideas away out of guilt. This is also normal, but don't give up! Strengthening your mindset is one of the best things you can do for yourself. I promise you, the confidence you will feel in the long run is incredible! I hope you learn something new today. Enjoy! :)

Hi queens! Low key... I fully blacked out during this episode so I'm not 100% sure what I yapped about for those 37 minutes. However, I do remember discussing certain parts of my life that I haven't given enough love & attention to since starting my competitive bodybuilding journey. I've been seeing the angel number 222 everywhere lately, and it's felt like a sign to create more balance in my work life, training routine and personal life.

Whether its an episode suggestion, an idea you've been ruminating on, or maybe you just need a friend to talk to- I'm all ears <3

Love you all SO SO SO much!! Enjoy the episode!

Being in your 20s means making a LOT of challenging decisions. In my younger years I would often feel trapped in my mind, stuck in analysis paralysis and unable to move forward or come up with the "perfect" solution to my problems. I've learned that it is important to voice things, ask for different perspectives from other people, and finally to let go of the idea that everything is permanent. Sometimes we just have to DECIDE, commit to that decision and see where life takes us from there. If you're reading this, shoot me a message on Instagram @biggirlbrain and let me know how the audio sounds on your end! It's a work in progress haha but we're getting better each week! 

The title says it all. Seriously though, having little side hustles & passion projects is how all entrepreneurs start. You have no idea what those side hustles & projects could turn into. There are a few things I've learned about holding myself accountable, setting aside time for these passions, and being my own "boss" in certain areas of my life and I wanted to share some of those experiences with you today. And as usual, a little ranting and bitching at the end because what would a Big Girl Brain episode be without that? Lame. That'd be sooo lame. 

Babes welcome to yap city... I was rollinnn this entire episode. Lots to say this week apparently. In this episode I discuss shaking out of that "All Or Nothing" mindset, prioritizing independence when it's needed, seeing things from different perspectives, and honoring your deepest desires despite the opinions of others. Towards the end of this episode you get to hear some thoughts from my cutie little sister Sophee- truly the wisest girl I know. Enjoy!

Hello Big Girl Brain family. I'm so pumped to be recording again and THIS TIME in my own place! It's been a wild ride getting to where I'm at now- physically, mentally, financially and emotionally but we did it and I'm here to tell you aallll about it! And maybe even a little "too much" about it because your girl loves to overshare. Aside from the big fat story time at the beginning of the episode, I've given you a little deep dive into some of the ways I've learned to embrace the cards I've been dealt, work through irrational fears and anxieties, and strive to be my most confident self! Enjoy <3

This week I wanted to share some thoughts I've had about our personal perspectives and the outlook we have on life. I discuss ways we can make changes in both our real life and mindsets. I talk about the importance of surrounding ourselves with like-minded, positive influences. People who push us to grow and strive to be our best. I talk about being mindful of who you're pouring time into and the energy you allow into your space. Hope you enjoy the episode!
