July 22, 2021 8 - FOMO is back
Ready or not, our social calendars are starting to fill up, our pre-pandemic lifestyles are returning, and with them comes the difficulty of balancing social anxiety, and the pressure to enjoy our twenties while we’re still in them.
This week, my guest and I discuss the tension between risk aversion and the fear of missing out that has the potential to plague your weekend.

We reflect on our pre-pandemic social lives, socializing in relationships, and understanding gut feelings, while also breaking down our social lives after the pandemic, discussing normalizing social anxiety after a year in isolation, and the fear of returning to lockdown if we take hot girl summer too far…
She shares tips for finding comfort in boundaries, confidence in friendship, and the importance of risk taking for personal growth.

July 15, 2021 7 - how to be well
As we grow older and take more control of our mental and physical health, the connection between the two becomes more and more obvious.

On this week’s episode, I got to speak with a good friend who is pursuing a career in naturopathic medicine - a path which she’s faced judgement for but has also taught her how to prioritize her own feelings and to trust her gut rather than the opinions of others.

This mind-body connection is something that the field puts extra emphasis on, and is where she gained her perspective on how to support all aspects of health. We discuss nutrition and using food as medicine, the importance of balance when it comes to discipline and indulgence, and the links between gut health and mental health which are often overlooked.

July 08, 2021 6 - the pressures we experience
Every stage of life comes with a unique set of pressures- to do well in school, to land your first job, to fall in love, it goes on… Sometimes the pressure is put on us by others’ expectations of us, and sometimes, it’s self-inflicted.

On this week’s episode my guest and I dive deep into how to manage internal and external pressures in order to live without being weighed down by them. He shares important moments that helped to change his perspective on certain stressors, while also revealing the parts of his life that are still a work in progress, namely, his work-life balance.

We highlight how engaging in self-reflection is vital in the pursuit of our dreams, how engaging in play is still an important part of growing up, and so much more.

July 01, 2021 5 - It's okay to feel
We’ve all felt the bubble. You know the one- it sits in your chest and mocks you all the way up to your throat until you’re forced to just let it pop.
Swallowing your feelings is painful and lonely, and often festers into shame. In this week’s episode, my guest bravely unpacks her mental health journey in the hopes that by sharing her own story, it makes us all feel less alone in ours.
Our conversation covers mental health in relationships and at work, as well as making the decision to go on medication and the stigma surrounding this. Along the way we discuss tips and tricks that have gotten us through hard moments, and the relief that comes from opening up to a friend.

June 24, 2021 4 - let's talk about sex(uality)
Looking at it from the outside, questioning your sexuality can seem like an admission. In an ideal world, we instead leave space for ourselves and one another to embark upon an ongoing journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance.

In this week’s episode, I’m joined by a fellow social worker to discuss questioning your sexuality in a heteronormtive society, coming out to family, friends & partners, and challenging our own assumptions about what it means to be a part of the LGBTQ+ community.

I learned a lot from this conversation, noteabley, the beauty in all of our differences & the impact that sharing vulnerable stories can have on shrinking the fear that keeps us from being our most authentic selves.

I hope you learn just as much.

June 17, 2021 3 - Why it’s okay to contradict yourself
We’ve all got layers. Some are thinner, or closer to the surface. Others get exposed when the outside layers are peeled back. Sometimes layers make sense. Sometimes they’re uncomfortable to explore, and sometimes, they contradict each other.

In this week’s episode, my guest and I discuss the harmful effects of comparison in the age of social media, how labels can be liberating or limiting, and finding peace in changing interests & competing values as we navigate our twenties.

June 10, 2021 2 - Reflection and self-development during the pandemic
The last year has left everyone feeling some type of loneliness, but how have you grown from it?

My first guest shares how, to them, self-development meant learning to sit in silence, picking up forgotten hobbies, and discovering that being alone isn’t actually the worst thing. Other highlights include the power of self-reflection and how the pandemic pointed out many social inequities that we should all take time to reflect on.
