Kuddle With Kookie episodes

  • Self-Worth

    In this episode, I talk about my recent epiphany about self-worth. This is a reminder that we are inherently worthy of love and acceptance, and that our core needs are not meant to be "earned". I share my story (TW: bullying) of how I struggled with tying my self-worth to people's opinions, achievements and other societal standards. I hope this serves as a reminder that you are always enough <3 Take care!!

  • Love, Connection & Belonging (Intro. to Secrets of the Universe series)
    Season 3 is going to be called the "Secrets of the Universe" series. In each episode, I will be talking about 1 "secret of the universe" that makes life more meaningful and gives us purpose. This is NOT going to be spiritual. In this episode, I talk about the human need for love, connection and belonging. It is nothing to be ashamed of and there is a capacity to love infinitely within each of us which is something to be proud of. I talk about my love of being in fandoms and interacting with strangers connected by our love for a certain thing. Thank you for listening to my podcast! I wish you nothing but love! Enjoy! <3
