In today's episode, I talk about struggling with wanting to scrub the podcast and start all over. This is something I've done in the past and I'm tempted to do, again. However, this morning I asked myself, "What am I hoping to accomplish by this?"

"What feeling am I thinking it will bring me?"

The conclusion was I wanted to look more put together than I am. I thought taking down a bunch of episodes, starting over fresh, and making new episodes would give me the clarity I am searching for.

But then I realized, simply making episodes will give me the clarity I'm looking for and letting people see my messy journey is okay.

On this week's episode, I share a video I scrolled across on Tiktok that may have changed my life forever and will at least impact how I process situations in the future.

The tool Flynn suggests is to use the question "What" instead of "Why" when situations occur in our lives.

Thank you for listening and I hope this conversation added something positive to your life in some way.

Today is my birthday (Jan 11th) and I've been thinking about popping back on the podcast for awhile to say "hi" and chat for a little bit.

In this episode, I let my boyfriend write a list of 14 things he thinks you should know how to do by the time you're 30. I go through them and let you know if I know how to do those things or not.

Then, I reflect on my younger 16-22 year old self and think about all the things she wanted, where she thought she would be at 32, and whether I'm any of those things.
