How Should I Know

Talking with my good (long distance) pal Chantal on the pod about long distance friendships! Makes sense, right? This episode covers the pitfalls these friendships usually run into, like the all or nothing mindset or the potential obstacle social media creates. It's not all bad news bears though, Chantal and I talk about how we've been able to remain dear friends for so long while living in different countries (9 years people!)

If you have friendos living somewhere else, this one is for you!

This is a *slightly* embarrassing episode but v important. Listen as I talk about the struggle I've had with contentment my whole life. I liken discontentment to poison and share how I deal with this sneaky little attitude so that it doesn't ruin my life, relationships, and basically everything around me. :)  

I'm talking to my girl Tash! And we're talking alllll about modesty culture - from infinity scarves to sexy ankles. We focus on the harmful messaging modesty culture has had on young christian women, how respecting one another has to come from the heart, and what scripture says about it all. Tash gets real about the impact modesty culture has had on her life, even to this day. This episode is juicy in the best ways and you're not going to want to miss it! 

I'm getting spicy about everything that bothers me about New Years - from harmful diets to comparison and discontentment. I do consider the helpful parts of the holiday though, and conclude that instagram reels aren't the worst ever.

Body Image is hard! For all of us!! Listen as I talk with my gal pals Aurora and Sarah about this hot topic. We get vulnerable about our own body images and the impact childhood has had on us. We also try to encourage each other on how to deal with the hard days and share about learning to love ourselves. This episode is raw and real, with the hopes of normalizing struggle but encouraging all you cuties!

Finally an episode for us people pleasers!!! This is one of my top struggles so I thought I'd get real about it. I share my people pleasing origin story (which involves a McDonald’s playplace) and what it has taken for me to change my ways. This is NOT a how to episode, more of a how to not episode. :)

I have another guest, Jess Wang! Jess and I talk all things communication in marriage - about how saying you never fight isn’t as great as some people think, how scheduling intimacy can be beneficial, and how to get ahead of conflict by asking some v simple questions. If you’re married, or even just curious about marriage struggles, this is the episode for you :)

I'm getting vulnerable about faith ya'll. In this episode I talk performative religion, current struggles, and how I'm dealing with doubt. While this episode is definitely intense, you will hear struggles talked about in a raw and real way. You don't have to have faith to listen to this episode, just spotify ;)

This week I have my first guest - Sarah Poole! In this episode, Sarah shares vulnerably about her experience with singleness. She talks about her past relationships (including the ideal breakup, which involves ice cream), how Christmas movies lie to us, and how she wishes we wouldn't treat the word marriage as a swear word. This is a valuable conversation for all to listen to, single and married, cuz' this girl lays down some real wisdom.

GUYSSSS IM BACK. Listen to me explain why I am once again attempting to start a podcast (third times the charm people), what you can expect from this pod, and how I want YOU to be involved. I also share some very cringey fun facts about myself, even though nobody (NOBODY) asked.
