leveling up with lana

today we are going to chat about one of my favorite topics: GLOWING UP.

I love a good glow-up, and the perfect time is right now! before the school-year (or fall for my out of school girlies), to just grind and become the hottest and happiest version of yourself.

I go through my physical glow up tips like skincare, how to maintain clear skin, how to get snatched, my personal workout routine, how to have amazing hair, and so on. I also go over the mental glow up tips like getting over mental blocks (anxious thoughts, hating yourself, procrastination), self-care, setting boundaries, and more.

if you want to absolutely GLOW UP in the next month or two, this is the episode for you!

today we are going to chat about change.

we all go through big and small seasons of change. whether it is as small as how you drink your coffee or your workout routine, to moving to college or changing your entire style…we all change. change is normal, changing your mind is normal, and it is SO SO uncomfortable.

I feel like we limit ourselves so much by fearing change, by fearing the comments that the changes are going to be creating. so, we are going to chat all about it, and how to be more ok with change!

I also give an update on why I privated my main social media account, and why I am trying to be less open about changes in my life.

this is a good episode, and I cannot wait for you to listen-in.

we go through hilarious stories, but also share tangible advice for any girl who has always felt slightly out of place. 

a bit of a longer episode but Ashley and I enjoyed recording it, and we hope you enjoy listening to it.

today we are going to chat about all things hormone health, and HA recovery. this is yet another vulnerable and “taboo” subject but with so many girls struggling, I just had to open up about something I have been struggling with.

HA, or hypothalamic amenorrhea is a loss of period. generally, if a girl does not have a period by 16, or her period goes missing, she is diagnosed with HA. it might seem great to not have to worry about a period, but it is a BIG indicator that something is wrong in your body. it can cause very negative impacts on the future of your health as well.

whether or not you have a missing period, we also discuss hormonal acne, mood swings, and everything else about being healthy for the sake of HEALTH and not being skinny. female hormonal health is a very broad topic, but I do my best to give my tips to helping your female hormones. keep in mind I am not a doctor or specialist, but have done lots of research in the past.

finally, we will chat about my THOUSANDS of dollars spent on holistic and functional medicine doctors, the tears and blood tests, things that I learned, and the steps I am taking to rebalance my hormones and regain my period.

today we are going to chat about how to balance feminine and masculine energy. as a very “independent” and “goal-oriented” girlie, I often lose touch with my femininity. I end up feeling exhausted, angry, and like I am always the one having to call the shots. 

I believe that femininity and masculinity is a BALANCE that must be struck. it is how you carry yourself, it is how you talk, your energy. it is not just wearing pink and running around a field of flowers. it is not just always being “intuitive” and swear off calendars and structure. it is a balance to not only allow yourself to be feminine, but embrace the special power and uniqueness that you have as a woman. 

in such a masculine world, I believe that the girlies would feel better if we learned how to really embrace being feminine, while also pulling some masculine traits to achieve amazing things. 

I will go through it all in today’s episode. I cannot wait for you to listen!

today I open up about my testimony and the journey of my relationship with God.

I always grew up in the church, but that does not mean I had a strong relationship with God. I called myself "Christian" but never really lived out my life like a Christian. lately, I have felt called to talk about my testimony. 

I go through some of the darkest moments of my life, and how God consistently revealed Himself to me and protected me. this is not the “perfect Christian since birth” story. but maybe, me being vulnerable can help just one other person.

we go through comparison, eating disorders, anxiety, doubt, lack of friends, lack of Christian community, judgemental “Christians” and more. but God is good, and maybe if you hear how He worked in my life it can spark something in you.

today we are going to chat about toxic beauty standards. as a girl, I have struggled with the beauty standards we face as a population. it seems like a lot of you girls also struggle with them, as I have received countless requests and DM’s to cover this subject.

having the perfect skin, the perfect body, the perfect clothing, the perfect everything is really exhausting. to be convinced on social media and IRL that there is something wrong with you, even if things like acne and stretch marks are completely normal, is messed up. 

so join me in today’s episode as I cover how subjective beauty really is, the impact of social media, and all of the things women are told they should fear (cough cough, aging, a tummy pouch, acne), when really, they are completely normal things.

it is NORMAL to want to feel beautiful. it is OK to work hard on your skincare and appearance. but, once that starts to become your self-worth, that is where we have to draw the line.

today we are going to chat about female friendships, and why it is so darn hard to make them, especially like-minded friendships.

in our era of social media and overall digital connections with others, you would think that it should be easier than ever to make friends. I mean…come ON! I constantly see the cutest friendship activities and reels on Instagram, and those amazing photos of smiling girl sleepovers on Pinterest.

yeah…not me.

I always struggled making good female friendships, and throughout middle school to college, churches, gyms, the corporate world, and everywhere else, I made friends, drifted from friends, and struggled to find someone that has the same interests as me. 

I also had to handle the overall DRAMA of female friendships. the backstabbing, the gossip, the lies, and the jealousy. 

if you struggle or struggled making friends throughout your teenage or twenties, you are NOT ALONE. I chat all about my past experiences, and give tips along the way for finally finding those amazing female friendships you tend to only see in movies or social media.

today we are going to go through a masterclass on building self-discipline. self-discipline is such a powerful tool that you can harness to get to your dream life faster! 

if you want to uphold the promises you made to yourself, work out consistently, eat healthy, network, read, and do anything else…you are going to need self-discipline! it is a lot easier to be disciplined than rely on motivation. 

I through 10 easy steps to build your self-discipline. I also have some questions you can ask yourself before making a decision:

self-discipline questions before making a decision:

1. Is this choice helping me become the highest version of myself?

- Note this is a yes or no question. No excuses. No “but…”, no “kindas”

2. Does this action truly represent my intentions? My priorities? My goals?

3. Am I doing the right thing or the easy thing?

4. Am I merely uncomfortable or doubtful? Am I so mentally weak that my emotions are getting in the way of my goals?

5. What is the outcome of this action if I continue along this path?
