Comparison is the thief of joy. So why do we all struggle with it so much? Especially for us young adults who are constantly online, I feel like this problem is at an all-time high... But we don't do enough to actually combat it. In this episode, I talk about what the issue of toxic comparison really is while giving some tips and tricks that all of us can use to lessen its impact on our lives (because girl, I struggle with it just as much as anyone else.) I hope you enjoy :)

It's so easy to get caught up in the stress of our day-to-day activities that we forget to actually live in the present moment and appreciate what's around us. The simple act of stopping to smell the roses will keep us grounded and appreciative of life, no matter where we are in it. :)

In this week's episode of A Genuine Girl, I chat with college expert Katy Oliveira about the importance of seeking help when you need it, especially as a young adult. Believe it or not, many sources of help WANT to help you and CAN help you grow and succeed in college and beyond!

Wouldn't you love to be a little less busy? Yeah, me too... In this episode of A Genuine Girl, hear my perspective on the issue of being too busy and how I'm shifting my mindset from trying to be less busy toward trying to be more engaged. All it takes is a little bit of thought, a little bit of reprioritizing, and a whole lot of being genuine. :)

Guys... It's OKAY to take a break! (I'm saying this to myself just as much as I'm saying it to you.) I think that it's so easy for us to get so caught up in everything we have to do that we forget about what's most important... Taking care of ourselves! No matter what you have on your plate, I hope that this episode helps you realize that you aren't alone and inspires you to view the idea of "taking a break" in a more positive light. :)

How often do we really stop to think about what we're saying BEFORE we say it? I think I answer for a lot of us when I say not enough. Especially as college students, it's easy to come across the wrong way or forget to think before speaking because we have so much going on that prevents us from living in the moment.

In this episode, hear Meredith's perspective on finding intentionality in the present moment to create those genuine relationships and come across as a genuine girl. :)
