TRIGGER WARNING: SUICIDE

Have you been living with intrusive thoughts for the most part and have finally learned how to allow it to fade into the background, only for the thoughts to completely change and make you think wait a minute WTF is wrong with me?

Well, this episode talks about that! Kinda, sorta, for the most part, because i would never want to highlight the thoughts because they suck, but this episode will highlight how YOU are AMAZING AND THAT YOU CAN ROLL WITH THE PUNCHES!

On today's episode, I have my friends Maraja and Ildrich helping me talk about why we need side hustles. 

Honestly, for a lot of people, they're hesitant, even a little bit shy to consider having side hustles, but for some of us, we need it. For different reasons as well! We talk about the different ways that people actually benefit from their side hustles, whether its financial or emotional, but at the root of it all, i just wanted to showcase the fact that everybody is in the same sea even if we're in different boats, and it's comforting to know that we are not alone.

Have you ever had that thought, where you're done comparing yourself to others, and you start comparing yourself to your previous self and realized that you are actually worse off now than you were in the past? And remember that old saying of how you should only compare yourself to your past to make sure you're always better than that?

and then you sit here and realize well, no, maybe i've regressed, maybe i'm actually not getting better, maybe i'm a LOSER

No, you're not, and this episode i wanted to be honest about my own self loathing spirals that i go through and allow y'all to see that you are not alone. And if you've never experienced this, GOOD, but please be kind to your friends who might be feeling this way!

Almost a 2 year hiatus, and I come back to THIS!?

Starting over is always so hard, and please cut me some slack for my first episode back, but honestly, i think this episode really shows how hard it is to start over again. 

If you need a reminder, as to why you should start over (if you've been mulling it over) THIS might be the episode for you. A little scuffed and a little motivational, we are so back, and we are so going to go for it!

Ah, yes, at some point, y'all knew i had to do an episode like this.

This is not really a call out, but rather, a PSA. It' s not really me defending people like me who are bad at responding but rather, trying to bring y'all to take a step back to look at the bigger picture

It's me trying to take accountability and help others take accountability for why we feel the way we feel about responding/not responding/not being responded to


So buckle up! Because this episode might trigger you a bit!

Honestly, it's such a silly concept of an episode, yet it was actually one of the hardest i've had to do.

I had to combat myself from going on a tangent on certain things because i felt myself being pulled away to different topics,

but one thing remained true and one thing seemed to be the common denominator for why i'm still living paycheck to paycheck in my 30's.

It's me. Hi ! I wouldn't say i'm a problem, but its me!

And if you feel the same way, maybe this episode is for you! Because maybe you will finally realize that it's okay to admit that we may have been at such a disadvantage, and that we realize our full potential, but that might be one of the biggest downfalls we've ever had. 

And it's finally time to take a stand to our own negative selves and say, it's okay to live paycheck to paycheck for now, because one day, i will be okay!

TRIGGER WARNING FOR THIS EPISODE!

I almost choked to death a month ago, and it was a game changer!

Don't you love how phrasing things can change how grim one thing can sound? 

This event taught my about my fight or flight instincts, and how heartbreaking it is that most people do perish from certain things because their fight or flight or freeze responses tell them to freeze. 

It's also definitely interesting to see how life altering events can affect us, but how long do these effects last? This episode opens up this season and I would love for others to share their experiences, if they have any.

Let me guess, you destroyed a beautiful relationship because of overthinking?
You were about to date someone until you started overthinking?
I'm not proud to say it, but i'm an overthinker. In today's society, WHO ISN'T!?!?!
But that, right there, is a huge problem. If we all overthink, then how are we going to actually understand each other?!

In this episode, i talk about the dangers of overthinking SPECIALLY when it comes to relationships. Oh, i also talk about overthinking when it comes to family (ahem)

But honestly, this is just a glimpse at what it looks like for us overthinkers, and how dangerous it could be, and how we can actually deal with it!

First of all, Mom i love you! I'm glad we're able to move forward and have this amaazing friendship/relationship between us now and i wouldn't change anything

But tbh, those years really messed me up. BUT NOT ANYMOOOORE

In this episode, i talk about my tumultuous relationship with my mother while i was growing up and some of you might actually be able to relate to this (Hey remember the term "MY HOUSE MY RULES" !? EH!??! EH!?!? )

I detail all of the hardships i went through but also, the important message of this episode, is that not only does time heal all, but YOU have the power! YOU have the ability to break that cycle for yourself!
