“You do the best you can with what you know at the time”  - TR

We made it to EP 20 babyyyyy! In the spirit of the number 20, I thought it would be fitting to give y’all twenty things to help you get through your 20’s (or however old you may be lol).

When life gives you challenges, know that it’s for a reason. There is always an important lesson hiding in the midst of the chaos, don’t miss out on it! Buuut in case you’re struggling to see the meaning behind a situation right now, maybe one of the things on my list is a lesson you’re meant to learn too.

I hope this resonates with you and maybe even saves you from wasting (more of?) your time in a relationship, friendship, career, or environment that is not aligned with your highest self.

I’m here for you & rooting for you always! Xo 

Check out this week’s homework (scroll down) for a glimpse of the topics covered, and if any stand out to you, tap iiiin. 

Thank you soooooo much for listening! If you resonate with anything I mentioned, it's because we're interlinked.. DUHHH.

“Success starts when the excuses stop sounding reasonable”  -Pinterest 

Constantly making excuses as to why you’re not in the gym? Why you’re not motivated? Why you’re not creating? Why you’re not taking care of your space? Why you’re not setting boundaries? I can keep going, orrrr you can just listen to the ep lol.

In this week’s episode, you’re getting a list of the ways that you can elevate your life and be more successful. Success is merely a side effect of growth. Each time you set out to do something to improve yourself or your situation, it creates a ripple effect. Your habits and daily routines can be the reason you achieve your goals and feel at peace, OR they can be the reason you fail and feel unsatisfied. 

If you are struggling to feel motivated, this episode will hopefully give you all the hacks and courage needed to turn that sh*t around and get you back on track. 

I’m here for you & rooting for you always! Xo

“I’m either aggressively passionate or completely detached. I have no notion of loving anything or anyone by halves. It’s just not in my nature” -Pinterest 

In this week’s episode, y’all are getting a lil life update! I quit my teaching job. Although I recorded this on May 30th…….. I FINALLY got around to editing and posting. Sorry 4 the wait Xx.

Deciding to let go of a job, a person, a toxic relationship, a friend, a community, etc is not an easy task. Here I’m opening up about navigating the loss of connections, but also finding the beauty in creating new ones. 

Recording this the day after I quit, had me feeling sappy fs, but don’t trip we alwayssss end on a high note! If you are struggling to let go of something right now, this episode will hopefully give you some emotional insight along with the courage to trust your intuition (that shit never lies).

“When you realize that people’s opinions are charged with their own personal history, you will start to understand that every judgement is a confession” -Anonymous

In this week’s episode, we’re talking about how judging others actually reflects more on your own character than the other persons. I’d even argue that these judgements can actually reveal your internal battles, insecurities, and self doubts. If you think negatively of yourself, why wouldn't you think negatively of others (flip that statement and it still works). 

Judging can also stem from the intense need to categorize people into boxes. Y’all know how i feel about that… gtgtgtgtg. Keep them labels away from me!

We are all flawed human beings! We’re constantly f*cking up, but how else can we learn and grow?! Treat life more like an experiment. Instead of judging, let’s all work on having more fun and more empathy . 

Other people’s opinions are not your problem! That goes for parents, friends, partners, etc. If you’re feeling the weight of perception and judgement rn, listen up and maybe even send it to the person bringing you down … 

I’m here for you! Xo

“Unfortunately, I can't respond to your text because it stressed me out for no reason and now it's been too long so I’m just gonna ignore it” … How life has been lately lol.

Ever feel like everything is just too much? There’s too much going on, too many options, too much to do, too many people around, too many noises, and just too much stimulation?!?! Sensory overloaaaaaaad is real. 

In this week’s episode, I'm opening up about my recent struggles. Specifically, my intense inability to make choices due to feeling overstimulated asfffff. Lately, the smallest tasks have been stressing me out to the point where I’m simply paralyzed from making any movement or progress. 

If you are finding yourself in a similar boat, this episode will give ya a few pointers, but above all the goal is just to make you feel comforted and validated. 

Social media is a highlight reel! I make my fair contributions to the game, but I’ll always keep things real with y’all to remind you I’m flawed and human just like you.

“You may be an adult by age, but are you an adult by character?” -holyriotsoldier ??? Idk found on Pinterest lmao

In this week’s episode, we’re learning how to grow TF up! I took note of the things that I personally believe we as adults should be working on now, if not already. If you’re in your 20’s or somewhere around there, you know that this is a pivotal age of growth. Nothing feels constant, but the one thing that will always remain is YOU. So why not work on ensuring you are the best version of yourself??? At this age, we need allllll the protection from people, environments, and situations that act against us achieving our highest potential.

I dyed my hair!!! Soooo naturally I decided to dedicate an entire episode to pushing you to make some changes in your life! Want a new career? A new relationship? A new tattoo? A new environment? GO FOR IT! It's not enough to throw a bandaid on the things you are unhappy with. Commit fully! Why live life dreading the next day when free will exists?! Get out of your own way and stop letting fear hold you back from experiencing all the beauty life has to offer.

Regardless of what unfolds, go in knowing you can grow from any situation. Detach from expectations and instead exist in flow. The best things come when you least expect them!

EXPLORE!!!

Is the American Dream dead? Is hoping for things and building up our expectations doing us more harm than good? Are we checking in to see what we actually want, or riding the train along with the rest of society? If you're ready to hop off, or at least to consider the possibility, you’re gonna want to give this one a listen!

Specifically we’re hitting on the major milestones in life: getting a car, going to college, working a job, receiving benefits, getting married, having kids, owning a home, and the inevitable realization that you’re still unfulfilled. Why is that? Where does the magic come from? What makes a house a home? What do you do to avoid this? What is different about other countries? Is the American Dream simply just to leave America? 

Listen to this episode for answers!!!!

I took my first solo trip!!! This episode is entirely dedicated to all of the experiences, thoughts, connections, and growth that happened as a result. From literal snippets of conversations with my Ubers, to pieces of my inner monologue, you’re getting the whole picture! Or should I say video?? 

P.S. So happy to be showing my face again, it just feels so much more wholesome!

In this episode, I’m covering what it means to experience life alone, how to work up the courage to talk to strangers, the magnitude of a compliment, the ripple effect, how to be more creative, the bliss of being present, the beauty of having to wait for things, and so much more! 

I argue that human connection and quality conversations are what allows us to not only be more empathetic, but also to understand the world through a new lens. Furthermore, we’re diving into the dangers of perfectionism and why you should rebel against the traditional pathways society has set out for us. 

There is so much beauty and power in knowing that YOU ARE THE WHOLE PIECE. Your mind is SO powerful. You are independent, capable, and confident. When you truly believe this, you will be UNSTOPPABLE. Anyone that comes along for the ride, is merely an enhancement, not a requirement :)
