  • Grad School, Job Hunting, and Finding Work that Works for You

    Whether you’re finishing undergrad or grad school, or thinking of switching jobs at any point in life, finding work can be a tedious, tiresome process... and to make it even more depreciating, you might get a new job and end up feeling stuck or hating the environment or the work itself. In this episode, my guest, Emily and I, discuss how finding a job you’re passionate about might not be the be all and end all. Emily explains why she left a job she was interested in, and how her graduate work ties into her new job. When should you quit a job that isn’t working for you? What might be the key to contentment that lie outside of the job? Are you working to live, living to work, or figuring it out? Tune in to reflect and think about it all...

    Jim and Pam. The Biebers. Will & Jada Pinkett Smith. Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds. Who's your #couplegoals?!

    On today's episode I'm joined by comedy couple, Robbie & Nellie, as they reminisce on their long-term relationship (from their first date, to their first baby).

But like in any relationship, they've experienced ups & downs, they even took some time apart, but they couldn’t deny that their feelings towards one another was undeniable. So I ask this #couplegoals, the big question, ”how did you know?!” What’s one couple’s key to a happy, healthy, fun, exciting relationship? Tune in to find out...

  • Change the Narrative

    Do you ever find yourself wishing you could move halfway across the world to avoid reliving a certain situation, or avoid running into a certain person ever again??? If that just doesn't sound feasible, you're not alone... AND this one's for all of you! On this week's episode, I'm joined by my brother AGAIN, to discuss rewiring negative, painful, or difficult memory associations, to more comfortable, positive ones. First, we have some hilarious show/movie/song recommendations. Then, we share some of the harsher realities of avoiding these thoughts; and dive deep into how we've coped and managed in these situations... all while recognizing the importance of being forgiving and compassionate with yourself. If you find that "time heals everything" is a cliché, we've got some good tips for understanding why people are still saying it. We hope you enjoy!

  • Modern Family

    Whew, this one’s got me feeling grateful. On this episode, I’m joined by my younger brother, Corey, to get into some deep, and hilarious, conversations. We’re exploring the nature vs. nurture theory and how it influences everything from taste in food, to taste in men. Corey shares his story battling and combatting his anxiety when coming out to family and friends. We share how our relationship has grown and evolved throughout our lifetime; and how valuable sibling and family relationships can be when dating, experiencing your first love, & your first breakup (especially during a pandemic). Lastly, we’re playing his favourite segment: Inglorious or Admirable. Enjoy!

  • Investing & Manifesting For Your Future

    How many times have you told yourself "I'm not ordering in tonight", only to have your Uber eats "out for delivery" thirty minutes later? On this episode, I'm joined by my friend, Sahil, who shares a wealth of important knowledge on saving & spending your money wisely, making more of it, and how to set yourself up for success in the professional world. We also discuss how every person should take hold of their finances, and be open to having discussions with your partner surrounding those dollar dollar bills y'all. Plus, Sahil and I play a round of questions in the new segment I like to call: "the questions you ask your girlfriends but should be asking your guy friends" - it's the perspective you really need to hear! Enjoy.

  • Your Body IS a Wonderland*

    *For far more than what it looks like!

    Happy International Women's Day! On today's episode, I'm joined by my close friend, Kenzie Coombe, to dive deep into negative self-talk and how that reflects on body image and self-worth. We discuss disordered eating, confidence, learning to love (or in some moments, accept) our appearance. We chat about the influence social media and external validation has during the process of shifting your mindset from a place of negativity to body image neutrality AND positivity. As humans, we regularly commit to work, our families, our friends, and our partners, but some times, the most difficult commitment we make is to ourselves - to love and honour who we are unconditionally. We share some of the things that have worked for us; and some ways we challenge intrusive negative thoughts. This episode is a reminder about all the important things your body does; and the role your mind & brain play, in the game of body acceptance. It is a reminder that you never fully know what someone is dealing with, no matter their size. It is also a reminder that you aren't alone if you are struggling with separating your self-worth from your appearance, and becoming confident in your own skin, and who you are.

  • Cheers to New Places & Changes

    We're just two kinesiology girls interested in fitness who took on totally different paths! Bachelor hometowns were last week and it brought back memories of "the ick" - all in this week's Bach recap. I'm also highly encouraging you to watch "Promising Young Woman" (starring the incredible Carey Mulligan; & co-produced by the brilliant Margot Robbie); and most notably, I'm speaking with an old friend of mine, Kirstie Jack. Kirstie left the UK to travel, explore, and eventually take on a job that requires her to brave the elements of Northern Alberta, Canada. She explains how her passions, goals, and mindset led her there; and how you can do the same if you're looking for a change of pace/scenery/work, etc. Tune in for some inspo or to be soothed by Kirstie's beautiful, lulling voice (ft. loud interruptions & laughs by yours truly).

    On this week's episode of Inglorious RBG, I've got some music to share, something to say about the last episode of The Bachelor; a few shows & movies to look forward to, AND two MUST-READ books. This episode is just with little old me, so suitably, I'm talking about loneliness vs. being alone, and some of the ways I've come to be content, and dare I say, happy when feeling lonely. Tune in to be enlightened, and to show your support for #FreeBritney!

    How much do we appreciate our "galentines"? My friend and former roommate, Tasha, is here with me to talk about some of our most hilarious, greatest, & friendship-defining moments.

We also share some dating & relationship advice, and tips for keeping important relationships and friendships fun and forever lasting.
