I'll say it: grind mentality/culture makes me cringe. Getting 4-5 hours of sleep a night and bragging about it isn't a badge of honor. It will catch up to you eventually. Sleep is so important to our long term success! I want to share with you my thoughts on productivity in 2022, a model you can use to help your productivity, and why you should ditch the grind mentality.

My recent career change along with a conversation with a friend sparked this episode on why you know more than you think. My intention since I started work is to work hard and overdeliver and I continue to do that at BuffBunny but I still have moments of panic when it comes to my work being evaluated. I've been able to change my mindset on how to take criticism and it's made a huge difference. Listen in as I explain more!

A recent Tiktok commentor on Andrew's account got me to thinking how much I've matured when it comes to insecurity within relationships. In my past, I would have worried, stalked the other girl, compared myself, and go down a spiral. Now, I am in a much more secure place and know the value I bring. Listen in as I explain how I have built this confidence and security.

I want to talk about finances in today's episode but tell a story around it to drive the message home. I bought my first car when I was in high school and that Toyota Camry got me everywhere and was perfect for me up until very recently with regular costs to maintain it and Chewie. I've been planning to buy a new car for a little awhile now, finally pulled the trigger, and… felt nothing. Listen in as I explain more!
