Hey Ya'll! It's ya girl Jen, back for another episode on trying to figure out how in the world to keep moving forward when life tries relentlessly to hold you back. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that I literally feel like every time I take a step forward in life, someone's two steps behind me trying to put me right back at the starting line. We're talking about, you guessed it, setbacks.

With this episode, I'm trying to prove to you all and myself that life can't keep you down forever. That we're bound to reach success even if it takes us a hundred years. We're gonna be alright ya'll. Keep moving on, keep hustling, keep pushing towards greatness!

Hope you guys enjoy the episode!!

"They told me all of my cages were mental, so I got wasted like all my potential-- And my words shoot to kill when I'm mad, I have a lot of regrets about that..." 

"I was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a sphere, fell behind all my classmates and I ended up here..."

"And I just wanted you to know, that this is me trying..."

This week's episode is in part inspired by one of my favorite songs at the moment. It's called This Is Me Trying by Taylor Swift. To be honest, most of what I could say about this episode is pretty well summed up in these three quotes. I've been dealing with a lot of insecurity lately and I figured what better way to express those emotions than coming up with a podcast episode about it, so here ya go.

Go listen to This Is Me Trying along with the rest of Folklore by Taylor Swift here:

"You better work (Cover Girl!), work it girl (Give It A Twirl!), do your thang, on the runway..."

On this weeks' episode of the podcast we're continuing our conversation where we talk about our careers! I sat down with my good friend Jessica to discuss what it means to be a model in today's society, what it takes to make it in the industry, and why it's so important to channel positivity and a great attitude into everything you do! Feeling good about yourself never looked so chic! Hope ya'll enjoy the episode!! :)

Hey ya'll! Happy Saturday! In this episode we're talking all about... what it means to be "an adult". There's a lot of big decisions that we're forced to face in life... sometimes without clear direction. Within the last few months I've had to do a lot of big kid things that even I don't know if I was ready for. I think it's really important to remember that you don't have to do all this stuff alone-- whether it's filling out your taxes, applying for health insurance, or even filling for unemployment. There are resources out there and you shouldn't feel bad if you don't know how to do something. I hope this episode helps all of you in one way or another, and I hope that you know that someone out there is rooting for you, and wants to see you succeed!!

Hello hello lovely people! After a little hiatus last week we are back with another episode of the podcast! This week we're talking about being grateful! I thought this was a pretty relevant episode given the times we are in because when things look bleak and like there's no light at the end of the tunnel, that's the point where we need to refocus our attention on the good, and realize what positive things we do have going for us. I've been getting super emotional and nostalgic lately as I've been thinking about how far I've come over the last few months... I hope that if you're feeling these same feelings you come along for the ride with me and learn more about how to express these feelings of gratitude in the best ways possible!

I'm so so grateful for you all! If you ever wanna connect with me outside of the podcast, my instagram handle is @Ithinkweshouldtalkpodcast, or you can send me some good ole fashion email at [email protected].

Hope ya'll have a fabulous week ;)

"Go Shawty, It's Ya Birthday!" Guess what ya'll!?! It's almost my birthday... and we all know what that means... "We gon' party like it's ya--" nah, we're opening up and talking about my feelings! I'm getting super mushy and talking about the person I've become up until this point in my life! During your Covid birthday, I think it's almost a requirement to cry, but also to take some time to just sit and be grateful for everyday that we wake up healthy, happy and fulfilled. I hope you'll come along for the ride as we chat about 26 things I learned before hitting the big 2-6.
