BS with Bethany Simko

This weeks episode is about my journey with abundance, especially when it comes to money. I know that can be SUCH a touchy subject and it's a little intimidating for me to talk about. But, this week I have been feeling so connected to you guys through our little IG group chat and I wanted to share a little more about my experience in hope that it helps one of you!

I was planing on recording an episode going over all of the different mindset shifts and affirmation work I've been doing since moving to Hawaii, but the story ended up unfolding around money and it's honestly so fun to see it from this perspective.

Growing up, we always had "barely enough", but my parents worked unbelievably hard. They are an example of incredible strength and work ethic to me, but I knew from a young age that I wanted a different life style. I didn't want to work mind numbing hours just to barely get by - I wanted to give myself and my family abundance, I wanted to have energy at the end of the day, I wanted to love what I did, and I wanted to experience luxury easily and with a calm mind.

In the three years since I moved out and went to college, I've already seen an incredible transformation in the way that I think, feel, and act around money- even if it wasn't natural for me at first. Listen along to hear about my story and where I am today (and how I'm getting myself to the next level that I know is meant for me)

I hope this serves as a beacon of hope for you and a starting point (or a catalyst if you're already exploring your mindset around abundance) for you to experience everything you've ever envisioned for yourself. Love you!! Let's dive right in :)

I've officially BSed my way to Hawaii! I can't tell you how long I've dreamed of saying that phrase.

I've lived here for just under two weeks and it's already such an incredible, healing place. When I made the decision to move to Hawaii 3 months ago, I wasn't actually sure if I was going to make it happen. I kept telling myself I would, but the thought of leaving Austin was so overwhelming. I felt like I had JUST gotten there and I didn't know if I had it in me to do another massive move across the country- let alone across the ocean.

I know the thought of moving can be daunting, and it seems so far out of reach when you're settled into your current comfort zone. But, by digging in and moving forward with the right mindset, even the most "out there" places will come into view and you can start to create a new reality.

Listen along this week as I dive into the mindset shifts I made that got me out of my hometown in 2022, and now have made living in Hawaii possible!

A year and a half ago, I packed my car and moved Austin, Texas. I have truly loved (most) every second of my time living there.

In this episode, I fill you in on my favs, my pet peeves, and the quirks of ATX

I can't believe out of all of this I left out the crusty datting scene (e.g. you can pick between a man above 5'8" OR a man with a jawline. You cant have both) so if you've ever been to Austin, I'd love to hear about your fav, least fav, and downright weird experiences there!

This city will always have such a special place in my heart. It was my first venture out of Utah, I met some of my favorite people and had some of my favorite experiences. I learned so much about myself and I got to bring all of you along with me! My next adventure in the next city is on it's way, so listen along for one more ode to Austin and a whole lotta story times.

Hi y'all! This week I had the opportunity to be invited to the Beyonce concert by a few of my favorite brands and it was SO FUN! This year has been full of amazing moments like that and I am so incredibly grateful. BUT as someone with social anxiety, going into those events not knowing a soul can be intimidating. I also live alone and get a little paranoid at night (as hot girls do) so I came up with a list of the ways I've learned to cope with these anxieties.

1. Look out the "front door"

2. Create your own narrative

3. "What would Satan say?"

4. Your 40 year old self would want you to enjoy this

5. "It doesn't matter, I'm the birthday girl"

6. Feel the music

7. Your stress response makes sense

I hope as you listen you're able to find a few tricks you can use in the moment to make a social situation a little less daunting or help calm your mind in a moment of panic. If there's anything that helped or anything you want to hear about on BS with Bethany Simko, I'd love to hear from you!

It's been exactly a month since this entire situation went down, and I'm finally getting around to posting this episode. I recorded it roughly 2 weeks after getting home but I put off editing it until now because I needed some space from it. Now, listening back to it, having a fresh perspective, I felt it was important I put this out. Both for me, and for other people who may be in a similar situation (and also future Beth if she ever decides to forget how shitty she felt in that hotel room and thinks she wants to go back). I'm truly proud of myself for showing another human so much love, but also for knowing when to step back and let go. As of now, I still have not responded to any of his texts, which breaks my heart a little, but you know what they say - "you must break the pattern today, or the loop will repeat tomorrow".

It's been a roller coaster of a year but SUCH a good one! I've learned so much about myself and who I am, and I can't wait to keep learning. So in honor of me finally throwing away my fake ID (allegedly), here are 21 things I've learned in my 21 cute little years on this earth. Here's to many more! Love yall <3

Hi lovers! Super quick episode this week- I wanted to record something before I headed to California for the weekend. Since getting home from Utah a bit ago, I've been absolutely down for the count with a mystery illness from hell. So this week I've had to get real comfortable with resting and it caused me to reflect on some inner beliefs. I had to ask myself why in the world I have such a hard time sitting still and explore the answers that might contribute to that.

I'll see ya when I get back! (probably)

If you know Amazon Fashion, you know Kate Bannister. I found her ages ago for her hauls and incredible Amazon recs, and as we've become friends I've gotten to learn SO much more about just how inspirational she is. Kate founded a successful influencing career through her personality, authenticity, and her love of helping you (meaning me because I eat this shit up) find the very best outfits. And just recently, she's ventured into the business world by starting her iconic swimwear line, KB Kinis.

I absolutely loved getting to dive in deeper and talk to Kate about her entrepreneurial mind and her recent life changes- dropping out of college, starting a business, and moving across the country to Austin- all while dealing with panic disorder. If this episode doesn't inspire you to take leaps for future you, I don't know what will.

Follow along with Kate on Tik Tok @haulswithkb to see her adventures as she packs up her college apartment and moves to our favorite little city!

Hi yall! I took a little break from recording for a few weeks, but I wanted to come check in! These past few weeks have been pretty interesting emotionally. A lot of old triggers came up, I got some difficult news, and I'm diving into the realities of PMDD. In this episode, I describe a panic attack I had a few weeks ago that strangely enough, brought a lot of clarity. Over the past 2-3 years I have been relentless in my self love + mental health journey, so feeling these familiar feelings was frustrating. But, while it isn't fun to experience in the moment, I truly believe that all that work was not for nothing. It prepared me to now enter another phase of growth, healing, and is giving me a chance to practice self love even when I'm not on my A game. I then share my July intentions and how I want to enter this month creating space for and in my mind. I hope you're able to take a few of my intentions and create some for yourself to continue this month in a way that feels fulfilling to you!
