Trust is one if not the most important thing in my life when it comes to both relationships and career. Once that trust has been broken, it's extremely difficult to build it back up. I want to share with you my perspective and thoughts on trust, earning trust, why you should challenge assumptions with logic, and more!

Not sure if you've been paying any attention to this feud between Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber but it's something we can learn from. Toxic behavior is incredibly energy depleting and keeping you from thriving whether you participate in or just simply are just surrounded by it. I want to explain the situation in context and what we can learn from it.

Wanted to share one of the most popular Born to Thrive episodes I released in July 2021!

Another episode inspired by social media and while social media has its pitfalls, it allows us to realize and understand that the thoughts and events we experience aren't as unique as we make them out to be. Someone else has been in your shoes before and that's comforting but it doesn't negate the feelings we have. I want to share with you a few things from my past and what I'm currently going through in hopes you share with me back!

Time Stamps:

(0:15) Inspired by Social Media Again

(2:11) You’re Not Alone

You are worth being chosen by someone who wants all the things that make you, you. I can't tell you the amount of times I tried to convince someone to choose me and conform to what they wanted all to be left feeling empty and resentful. No more! I know it can be painful to be alone but it's worth the wait for someone who truly values you.

As a society, we tend to assume things about people because it's much easier to that then go find out the truth four ourselves. One assumption is that I am much older than I am. I just got back from Vegas celebrating my 29th birthday and had so many unexpected surprises happen! A lot of assumptions come down to misinterpretations or miscommunication and we need to practice more empathy in our lives to thrive.

Time Stamps: 

(0:18) Talking Assumptions

(4:36) Conspiracy Theorist?

(9:05) Misinterpretations or Miscommunication
