BS with Bethany Simko

This week, I'm taking you through the last 10 years of my life through a chronic illness lens. I've been trying to get answers as to why I pass out, why I'm exhausted, and why I've started to feel worse and worse during exercise.

I will be starting treatment at Cognitive FX on Monday the 26th and the road to answers will finally be reaching a destination.

Tune in next week to find out the results of my brain scan and a recap of POTS treatment.

Hi my loves! Welcome back to season 2 of BS with Bethany Simko!

I just recently left a relationship and so many people have been asking “how do you know it was the right decision?” . So, I wrote down some tell tale signs that helped me decide to step away.

We also get chatting about some deep stuff at the end so trigger warning!

Xoxo,

Beth

Let's talk about it

TW: ED

I'm having a little "quarter-life-reckoning" right now and girl it's so uncomfortable. I know I say all the time, "growth is uncomfortable," but being inside the actual moment of growth is so scary and confusing.

Today I'm getting super vulnerable about how my finances have faired in the influencer economy and the reality behind my lifestyle.

This year has humbled me, it really has.

I know I'm being shaped into an even more vibrant version of myself, but it's not a pretty process.

As you listen, I hope you feel seen or inspired in some way. You are not alone,

xoxo,

Beth

*TRIGGER WARNING* Very explicit episode. I talk about definitions of rape in moderate detail, outdated mindsets, and other facets of SA that may cause emotional distress.

This week I tried to complete an SA victim advocate training at The Refuge Utah, and it brought up so many emotions. So, let's talk about it.

There are resources for you!! Call 1-800-656-4673 if you or a loved one needs help.

Let's get to the research ✨For an interpersonal communications class I'm taking at university right now, they had us studying a topic of our choice during the semester. I chose to see how the lack of nonverbal communication cues impact online therapyBut don't let the academic research scare you, I'm here to chat about everything I learned in a super simple way so you can get allll the info you needSo let's explore- Is online therapy going to be as effective as in person therapy? How about text based therapy? How can I make online therapy work for me? I've got the answers so let's dive in

Join me this week as I discuss a whiplash that none of us saw coming: I'm going back to college.

If you followed me in 2021, you saw the process of me dropping out of college, working full time in Social Media Management, moving to Texas, and eventually doing my own social media full time.

I planned on never looking back.

But the universe has a funny way of sorting things out, and through a strangely coincidentally timed loss of income, I found myself back home just in time to start doing pageants and doing UVU for the fall semester.

In this episode we explore what abundance really means, and how we can keep our own perspective of an "abundance mindset" no matter what number is in our bank accounts.

I'm loving this era of life because I have no idea what's next!

xoxo, Bethany
