  • Pt. 2 How To Make Affirmations Work For You | Law of Attraction

    Where your focus goes, energy flows. Where are you focusing?

    The universe is literally always listening to your thoughts so first step, STOP COMPLAINING.
    We didn't come to this weird little world to be annoyed, pissed off, or to dread every single day that we wake up. We're here to explore, learn, love, be loved, be happy, have fun, and TRUST. So much of this comes down to just some mf trust.
    When you focus on the things that are going wrong over and over again, you're going to get more of that. And when you focus on how lovable, kind, and successful you are, that's exactly what you're going to get.
    I was listening to Abraham Hicks more this week and there was one self love episode that really really hit me(I'll link it below don't you worry). I was already going to speak about affirmations, but this just added another amazing layer on top. This was such a fun episode to record. Don't we all need a reminder from time to time that it's not necessary to constantly correct or be hard on ourselves? That we are still good even if we're in bed all day and can't seem to "get it together"?
    Even if you don't watch thru the whole video, at least read this part. The universe (God, Source, whatever you wanna call it) doesn't give a hoot if you get out of bed or run as hard as you can. You are loved anyways. Entirely, fully, no questions asked, you are good. You are the embodiment of love.

  • The Mindset Shift That's Changing My Life | How my "Manifesting" Journey is Going

    The hardest part about "manifesting" is knowing where to start. If you let yourself get caught up in the 'how' you'll never learn to trust yourself. Because this is literally what we were made for as humans.

    You can't wake up and NOT manifest- you're doing it 24/7.

    That's the catch, there is no start and there is no end. This process is just about learning how to guide your energy in the direction that brings you everything you've ever wanted (aka just being happy) instead of living in the same patterns that have made your life suck

    I've broken down what I've learned into 4 steps that we will dive into every week. We will go over resources, application, self concept work, nervous system regulation, and a crap ton more (but in a way that makes it seem not so out there, because it's really not. It's all right there in your head)
    Then, after the 4 weeks of laying it all out, I'm releasing a Self Concept Course that you can hop in if you want to know how to come at this on day-to-day basis. It'll be the guide that I wish I had when I started this journey
    At the beginning of the year I told myself I would do whatever it took to stop reaching this intense feeling of burnout and the feeling of fighting tooth and nail just to survive. I wanted SO much more out of life and right now, I'm finding that. This episode is just skimming the surface of everything I've learned from submersing myself in books, podcasts, journaling, and application that has made me feel more alive than I thought possible
    Todays episode is just the explanation of the next month to get your head in the game (big girl pants=on)
    I can't freaking wait to get started! Genuinely the most life changing journey that I'm hyped to share with you

  • The Phases of Your Cycle | Working WITH Your Body & Energy

    This has been a highly requested episode and I'm excited to dive into the phases of your menstrual cycle and the things I've been learning about it.

    You guys KNOW how rough my "3rd week" (or luteal phase) has been. I literally talk about it on here all the time, and this week I realized that my luteal phase hasn't been nearly as bad as usual.

    Understanding where I am in my cycle & the how the phases differ has been an actual life saver. "Ohhh so I'm not insane, I'm just in my luteal." Gotchaaa

    Lately I've been changing a lot of things about my lifestyle & mindset. I really want to do more episodes about what exactly those changes have been and the results I've seen. But in this episode, I share quite a few new techniques and insights I've been learning when it comes to respecting & listening to your body - especially NSR techniques (nervous system regulation) to get your body out of fight or flight so it can actually HEAL.

    We also chat about some of my favorite books and resources I've been finding. I'll link those below!

  • The Day I Lived | March 7, 2020

    Happy 1 Year of BS with Bethany Simko!

    It used to piss me off when people would say "It gets better". But looking at the life I have now, I can only agree. And it doesn't just get better, it gets phenomenal.

    This time of the year is full of big anniversaries for me. When I was 17, I was having an extremely hard time with my mental health, to the point that 4 years ago, I attempted to leave this here earth.

    Here I am now at 21, living in Hawaii as a fitness instructor with the opportunity to lay in the sunshine and impact the lives around me. During my workout meetup in Ohio, I had the distinct feeling that I know what I'm here. Hearing the stories from each and every girl there and hearing the way my life has touched theirs, I felt a wave of gratitude and a sense of purpose. It makes sense why I had to learn the lessons I learned.

    Can you imagine I didn't get to experience all of this? I'm taking this life as the second chance I know it is and asking for everything and more. Because this is my fairytale and it's yours too.

    If you are struggling, I encourage you to reach out to someone around you, or contact the suicide hotline 988 for immediate help. It won't feel like this forever, and your soul belongs on this earth. I love you <3

  • Newman Parker on Persistence and Trusting in your Dreams

    When it comes to all things luxury and taste, Newman Parker is your go to. But his road hasn't always been paved with premium leather.

    On today's episode, Newman walks us through his journey through content- starting as a kid with a beauty influencer fixation and a YouTube channel, to now working with world class luxury brands and living in his dream apartment.

    The way that Newman is so willing to throw himself into any situation and give it his all is nothing short of inspiring. Nothing will stop his persistence. He detailed how faced with bullying, failed channels, and financial struggle, he always did it for the mf plot and for his younger self with a dream. He knew he had something greater waiting for him (byeee HEB).

    Newman is the definition of trusting the mf universe and BSing it until something clicks. I hope y'all are just as inspired as I am after listening to him because I'm ready to go out and quit a job just for the hell of it rn

    Go give Newman some love! I'll link his socials below :)

  • Feb 4, 2020 | Being My Own Safe Place

    February 4th marks 4 years since I was SA'd and that sentence still feels wild to write. I feel so far removed from the person that I was, and yet that scared little girl is inside me every day.

    Everyone can see a big event like that. It's a big, traumatic, physically obvious moment. There were detectives, and hospitals, and social workers, and it's an event you can put a name to. But, what you can't explain, are all the little moments in between. The lead up, the after math, and things completely unrelated. Those are what are heavy on my heart coming up to this anniversary.

    The way I was speaking to myself for years left deep pathways in my mind and led me to believe that no matter how hard I tried or what I did, I would never be good. It led me to try to find a place that I could just be good or be enough. 

    And it landed me in a dangerous position where I was hurt, and it seemed like it came out of nowhere. But, for me it was just another drop in the bucket because I had already felt inherently damaged for ages.

    And that's a heartbreaking way to feel about yourself.

    So I had to realize how much more pressure I've been putting on myself by the way I speak in my own mind. I was going through so much and my mind was tearing me down for even struggling. Backwards right? But, I think we all do that to ourselves.

    This anniversary is about learning to be the one to sit with myself in every little moment and say "I am so sorry sorry I spoke to you like that. I am so sorry you had to go through everything you did"

    I'm learning to be good enough for myself. I'm learning to speak to myself like someone I love. I'm learning how to be my own safe place.

  • Emily Fuller is Really MF Good at Pivoting

    I have looked up to Emily Fuller since we were 15 and she started an incredibly successful scrunchie business that inspired a jewelry brand of my own. She has always inspired me through her ability to create value, take inspired action, and maintain a positive mindset.

    So, this week I sat Emily down and made her spill all her secrets. At one point I asked Emily about her biggest failure and she straight up didn't have an answer for me. She said "my definition of failure would be giving up on something. The only times I've come close to giving up on something has actually just been a pivot because I realize life's taking me in another direction. And I get excited about that. Life wouldn't be taking me this direction unless it's going to benefit me or it's going to be better than whatever else is in the past.”

    In that moment it hit me- Emily is just really mf good at pivoting.

    No matter what she does, she seems to succeed. No matter where she goes, people seem to love her. Because nothing phases her- it's all just a new opportunity

    Listen along as Emily touches on her favorite journal prompts to help her over come limiting beliefs and frame “failures’ as a pivot to find her next foothold. Speaking with Emily is always so inspiring- I came away from this interview glowing and I know you will too.

    I hope you absorb some of her bright energy today and remind yourself that it doesn’t matter your age or circumstance, you’re always one pivot away from a completely different life and YOU are in charge
