This time of year can be difficult for many with their families and I have been no exception. While I talked about other people's opinions on the last podcast, I want to share (which I've really never shared before) a bit of my family history, going through divorce, and how I've pretty much cut out my mom from my life. I know that sounds extremely harsh but please listen to the episode. I want you to know it's okay to cut some people off from your life to preserve your mental health.

As much as I love this time of year and I'm sure you do too, you've probably already started mentally preparing yourself for comments your family will make.

It's not easy… but it's simple. Doing the boring stuff we know will get us the results we want but sometimes we forget this key concept so I'm here to remind you! I had a friend recently share her boyfriend's fitness and nutrition changes with me, I was concerned of how drastic and unnecessary the changes were, and he fell off in 3 days. I don't want you do that to yourself with January 1st coming up so enjoy this tough love episode!

Let's talk people pleasing today because this is something that has affected my life deeply and I am guessing on some level it's affecting yours too. We want to help people and contribute to other's happiness but when it comes at the detriment of our own wellbeing, it's time to take a step back and regain our own power.

As you probably know by now, I moved to Houston, Texas! And I am back on dating apps but not for the reason you might think… I have explicitly put in my profile I am not looking for anything other than friendship. Why? Your girl has a lot of business goals right now. I still want to meet new people though and it got me to thinking about dating in general. Listen in and see if you agree.

Is there such thing as toxic positivity? Can you be too positive? My recent move from Cali to Texas and the events that followed sparked this but ya'll… it was not an easy move.
