My mindfulness journey wouldn't be what it is without this physical practice. It's simple & it's magical. In this episode, I unpack what yoga is REALLY about. HINT: it's nothing to do with goats or looking hot... lol.

We talk therapy. We talk sadness. We talk anger. We talk spirituality. We talk commercials. We talk about our dogs. We talk how and why she started her brand. In this episode you get to meet a literal LIGHT. Summer's clothing brand is all about reassurance, validation, and love. I learned in this hour chatting to her that she radiates all of those things. Listen and laugh with us!

Just some ol' college besties catching up and chatting about support systems. That's right folks, I'm being joined by the ever-so-beautiful Kat, Gina, and Jen. (You can't call them by those names, but I can.) On a real note though, this episode is so deep but also so FUN. We talk about how vulnerability is necessary but difficult, how hard it is to even remember that we need support, and we learn when Kat & Gina take their melatonin. Join us in this one and I promise you'll laugh with us AND learn some shit. (: 

I'm bringing it back to day -379... I discovered growth mindset when a college professor brought it up to me. 2 years before the podcast began. It was absolutely LIFE-CHANGING. I was one of those kids that thought, "if someone else can do it better, why do I even try?"... And I lived my life feeling that level of defeated about A LOT of stuff. So, 2021 has started, and if you're still in-need of a little hope, this one's for you. Much love and talk to you next time!
