Life in Technicolor

I don't know about you, but sometimes the greatest pain has produced the greatest growth. Going through difficult things has been something I have learned to not run away from, but rather accept and embrace. In this episode I talk about what I've learned about calling, character and learning how to go through difficult things. Maybe you'll enjoy some of my thoughts too!!

How do you define failure? Well I guess we have to start by defining success. This episode has a bunch of thoughts about where I am, where I want to be and the space in between.

There comes a point in your life where you've done all of the things you were expected to do. I am a go-getter type of person and I was determined to get my music degree and make the most of my life. What I didn't expect was to burn out by the end of 4 years and question everything. This episode I talk about my choice to move to London, how the option was presented to me and just share some of my life. This episode is pretty low-key, but hey you get to hear some of my thought process amidst decision making.

How many of you have found this quarantine life bringing up all of the things? Yeah... me too. It's amazing how silence, space, and a break in routine can either motivate you or spin you out. Both have happened to me this week so I decided it was a good idea for me to just process with you all. If you want insight into my brain, just have a little listen!

It's been a few days of that #quarantine life and I decided to take a minute to share some thoughts, stories and experiences from this current global state of emergency. This is a weird one for me, but it's pretty real, honest and I share some pretty personal stuff in this episode. It is a bit choppy due to an unexpected interruption and I've honestly had a rough go of getting this one ready to share, so I hope you enjoy this labor of love!

Things change. We change. Friendships change. This episode brings you up to date in where I am in my friendship journey! I've had a lot of changes in the last 6 years and the one relationship that I need to live with for all of my life is my relationship with myself. What's been amazing is that as I've learned how to have a relationship with myself, my ability to relate to others has changed dramatically. This process has been brutal but beautiful. Have a listen and let me know what you think!

I moved country when I was 24 and started over. What I didn't realize was that my struggles with isolation, loneliness, codependency and neglect would follow me overseas. This episode tells a bit about my time in London and what it was like building friendships there.

Friendship and codependency. There's a lot of my life I thought that needing people equated being a friend. In this episode I share some of my stories of how being codependent and fixated on others created an unhealthy dynamic in a lot of my friendships. This episode is not meant to be any commentary on how others treated me, but rather a reflection on how I was in the relationship and circumstances which lead to my growth.

For me, making friends as a kid was really hard. I really struggled with having people around who would understand me and help me feel known. In this episode I discuss the time I chose to abandon myself in an attempt to make friends and how that set me up for a lot of codependent tendencies. If you've ever been alone and lonely.... you will want to listen.

As people we tend to think we have to beat everyone else in order to get what we want. The truth is the more we can celebrate another person's victory, the more we will step into what we dream of getting. Have a listen to the different ways I've had cat fights and healthy competition throughout my life.
