In order to get a doctorate degree, you have to do research. Research sounds yucky to me, but I’ve started warming up to the idea.

One of the really cool things about research is that we get statistics of things that are correlated with one another: things that are statistically significant and things that matter!

In one of my psychology classes, we discussed a study done on things correlated with happiness. The findings are super interesting, so I decided to share some of them with you!

What do you think? Is income highly correlated with happiness? What about # of friends? Gratitude?

I also relate these things to my recent Sunday school lesson about the Beatitudes. What are they and how do they connect?

Marbles are fun, but aren’t jewels better? Instead of comparing being vulnerable to little marbles, Angel suggested that it makes more sense for them to be jewels. Precious and unique … something we care about and want to protect!

If you don’t know what I’m talking about, tune in and I’ll explain!

I’m 20 now! If you can’t believe it, don’t worry because neither can I! Haha!

I decided to share:
-20 things I’m proud of
-20 things I’m grateful for
-20 things I’ve learned

I guess that means I share 60 things, but you get the point.

I hope you appreciate the things I have to share!

I’m warning you right now: Bailey and I like to talk over one another. So when you notice it, remember that I warned you in advance!

That being said, we both have a lot to say and a lot to share. I simply love Bailey and love talking with her, so I had so much fun laughing and going with the flow during this episode.

Happy Valentine’s Day Week!

In one of my classes, we spent an entire hour on the topic of resilience. One of the things that was in the article that we read (in order to prepare for the class) was that in multiple studies, they found that children who had at least one involved adult in their lives were much more likely to be resilient and to bounce back from traumatic experiences in their lives.

Basically, one person can make all the difference.

It only takes one.

I want to be that person. The one person to believe in those I know and those I love. I want to be their cheerleader.

I hope you come to understand that you too, can be the one person to believe in someone else. Your contribution matters. And THAT is what matters most.

“There’s just something different about you” … seems to be one of the best compliments there is. (When it’s in a nice way of course.)

It’s one of the best compliments because it means that your countenance is bright and beautiful and happy. It means that who. you. are. is unique and positively impactful in the lives of others. Being different, being unique, being beautiful … well it’s more than just your outward appearance. That’s what Dallee and I talk about in this episode, so get ready for a deep (but super fun) conversation about smiling and about being a light.

20 How often does someone say something and it makes you want to laugh? Something a little absurd or a little crazy as to make you question what made them think that way?

That happened to me a few weeks ago. I played it off cool, but I quietly cracked up at her mistaken belief. To be fair, I had the same one before I came to college. Maybe that is why I had such a good giggle! I realized how much I had learned and how college really does teach you a lot!

I hope you enjoy my explanation of how therapy’s success is broken down and why it isn’t actually an “easy job.”

I hope this episode doesn’t make you yawn … not because I think it’s boring, but because I am a serial yawner and this episode showcases that unique characteristic of mine!

Kadrianne and I interview one another and ask fun and silly questions to better understand each other and to have fun. We definitely succeeded and had a blast doing it!

We answer quite a few questions, but the most memorable answers are towards the end … what is your most embarrassing moment?

Today I decided to do something different and kind of exciting!

I share five songs that have spoken to me. Maybe because they have a good message, they helped me during a hard time, they are relatable, or because they are just well written … they all have different special meanings and purposes that helped them make the cut.

What song(s) speak to you? Why? Do you remember where you were when you first heard it or was first touched by it? Please share! (You can comment on the youtube video.)

I’m not going to lie, this episode is a little chaotic! I suppose most of them are to be honest!

Savannah and I continue our talk about who we present and seeing past someone’s defenses. We also talk about ordinary people being extraordinarily divine and important!
