In the Wake

In this episode, I dissect the lessons I am learning right now in life and my process to move out of the cycles I'm stuck in created by repeated acts of self-betrayal and giving up on yourself. I talk about how this lack of commitment to yourself and your goals affects your deeper subconscious, making it easier to give up, and how you can retrain your mind and subconscious to think and show up differently. I break it down into small, attainable steps and actions you can start implementing to set your future self up for success instead of repeating those self-sabotaging behaviors, thoughts, and cycles.

I'M BACK!! I took a two month break for the sake of my mental health but I'm back talking about my experiences and time living abroad in Thailand. I catch up on what life has looked like for me over the six months - four living in Thailand and two readjusting to life back home now. I speak about the behind the scenes of the Instagram-painted version of Thailand and tell honestly some of the things I really struggled with while living across the world. I also acknowledge and recount the beautiful moments and things that I learned and took away from that experience. Then, I recall what it has looked like these past two months in readjusting and figuring out how to move forward with life post-Thailand.
