I Think We Should Talk

Hi Everybody! Phew! I don't know about ya'll but the last few weeks have been crazy for me That also includes the podcast. We've been talking about some pretty heavy hitting things, and I decided to just come at you guys with some more laid back content focusing on the things I'm learning about myself right now.

I like doing things in my own way, in my own time, and I don't want to feel pressured to make decisions that won't work for me. I think knowing yourself is so important and I'm so grateful for this time at home to learn these things so that when I get back out into the world, I am better equipped with the skills to be successful.

I really hope you enjoy the episode, and make sure to share the content someone who might like to hear something like this too! :)

I think it's really important that we talk about where we're headed as a country. As a individuals who've gone through A LOT in the span of 12 months. How do we get better? How do we grow into being a society that cares more about it's people? That wants to protect and support its people? These are the questions I'm seeking to answer in this weeks' episode.

This one is so so important so I hope that if you liked what you heard on this episode, that you start having those hard conversations. That we start talking about being kinder, being more appreciate, being more humble so that we can all thrive.

Love you guys!

Hey ya'll! Your girl is back for yet another episode of the podcast! In this weeks' episode, we're talking about your personal space--wherever you call home in this crazy covid world.  We're talking about the fact that maybe your home doesn't necessarily feel like your home because you had to move in somewhere as a result of this pandemic that maybe you didn't want to be.

We've all had to make sacrifices in our lives, but how do we deal with not having the physical space to feel comfortable, to do the things that we want to do? How do we travel to that luxurious bedroom we keep seeking on Insta?

We're breaking it all down today, and I really hope that for all of you going through this too, know that I'm right there with you, and know that this is all temporary! Find your piece in the best way that you can!

Love ya'll!

In this weeks' episode, we're talking about how to deal with challenges placed in your midst that you have the power to change. Sometimes life throws us curveballs, and we have to learn how to dodge them the best we can. An obstacle to me is something you have the power to change or overcome, even if it might feel impossible.

I'm giving ya'll some tips to get through the rough patches, and hopefully make you laugh and smile a little bit too. I think we all need to be able to laugh at ourselves once in a while, and I know I definitely had fun laughing at myself in this episode.

Hope you enjoy it!

"Don't mess with my girls..."

In this episode, we're talking all about the people that are your ride or dies. The people that would be there for you in moments of crisis. In times like these, it's important to have people to turn to when life isn't going the way you expected it to.

We're talking all about friendships and how to be a good friend, how to show your love, and what you should expect of your friends.

I really hope ya'll enjoy the episode!!

Ya'll ever have those moments where you sit back and think to yourself, "when did I get this grown?".  I had one of those moments when I went back to listen and edit this episode. I'm throwing some serious tough love at ya'll this week. We're talking about gaining perspective, changing your perspective, appreciating perspective for what it is, but also what it isn't! 

I think that if you can't sit back and do the hard work to evaluate things you need to change about yourself, or do better, you've got some serious work to do, boo. And just fyi, I'm doing the work on me too, you're not alone :)

I really hope you guys enjoy this episode, and I really hope it makes you think. As we are nearing a close on this last chapter of 2020, I hope that this serves as a basis for where you want your 2021 to go.

Keep moving, keep growing, keep prospering. I love ya'll! Talk to ya soon!!

Happy Holidays Ya'll!

As a way to celebrate the holidays, I figured what better gift can I give my listeners than an interview with the Christmas Qween herself, Holly Santiago! Miss Holly is one of the most joyful, positive, and upbeat people that I have ever met! Her charisma, tenacity, and wicked talent are all part of what makes Holly, Holly!

In this newest installment of the " I Think We Should Talk About Our Careers" series, we're talking all about careers in performing arts and how Holly's experiences performing have shaped her perspective on life, joy, and overcoming obstacles.

I really hope ya'll enjoy this interview, and as fate might have it, this episode is slated to air on Holly's birthday, so be sure to send her some love via her instagram page (@christianneholly).

For more ways to connect with Holly, and to set up vocal lessons with her, make sure to check out her website, https://www.christianneholly.com.
