Millennials Talk

#SOUR. It's the album I didn't know I needed. My inner angsty teen screams to it, my current 27-year-old self cries to it. Ahhhhh it's therapy. But cast your mind back even 10 years. Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez, and Ariana Grande, were all still bow-in-the-hair picture-perfect Disney stars. Miley especially, worked hard to break the mold - meaning she was sexualized and highly criticized in the media for just being a typical teen. Fast-forward to today, Disney star and the world's biggest and newest pop-star, Olivia Rodrigo, it's a different story. 

Oliva's debut is the perfect teen album. Hurt real feelings, insecurities, and real-life shit. She swears, she yells, and she goes through all the motions. LIKE EVERY TEEN DOES! A new-age star, she's perfectly executed the differentiating properties between Disney star and real-life teen - AND WE'RE HERE FOR IT! 

We discuss this and much for in the first part of this chat - I even (attempt) to sing/scream along. I mean, good 4 u, is just next level and an emotion I've struggled to express until this song. This week's therapy session is going to be much more communicative - i just need to read the lyrics! 

Part two of this solo episode I talk about the struggles of making friends as an adult. IT'S FUCKING HARD and noone is talking about it! I'd love to hear your thoughts on this too. Make sure you follow our socials too so we can keep this conversation alive. As always, please rate, review, and subscribe as it really means a lot and helps with the podcast. Until next MONDAY 6 AM ET, take care!

What do Madonna, Miley Cyrus, Meghan Markle, Vanessa Hudgens, Kristen Bell, Halle Berry, Sarah Jessica Parker, Halsey, and Demi Lovato all have in common, they're some of the many women who have been seen wearing Awe Inspired jewelry. 

Awe Inspired was founded back in 2017 by mother-son duo, Jill and Max Johnson. Jill, a three-time cancer survivor was on a pursuit to create a brand that made meaningful and exceptional quality gifts for anyone looking to honor a survivor in their life.

On top of using the finest quality metals and gemstones, Awe Inspired to give back 20% with each and every sale - and you as the shopper get to decide which of the very specially chosen seven charities you'd like to donate to. 

Now the CEO of the brand, I spoke to Max all about the brand, the successes, the failures, and the lessons he's learned along the way.

Ughhhh breakups and heartbreak. Regardless of what time and what stage of your life you're at, they're inevitable. We all experience loss, we all experience pain, and most importantly, we all get over these heartaches at our own pace and at our own time. 

I was so excited to be able to chat with Daniella Coradini from Dating Millennial this week. After taking the leap and ending a longterm relationship that was no longer serving her last year, Daniella jumped into online dating. She shares her experiences and together we share a really deep, yet lively funny chat of the reality of moving on while still carrying a broken heart. As always, please rate, review, and subscribe as it really means alot and helps with the podcast. Until next MONDAY 6 AM ET, take care!

AHHHH FEARLESS (TAYLOR'S VERSION) IS OUT! As a massive Swifite, I've been patiently waiting for the moment, and Ms Taylor Alison Swift sure didn't disappoint. But the bottom line is, even if you aren't a Swiftie, you have to respect her work ethic, her business savvy mind, and her strength to reclaim her intellectual property from a bunch of rude and misogynistic white men.

And that's where I'm pissed off. While we really break down and take a deep dive into some of the small lyric and sonic changes between the original and new versions, I also cover some of the negative reviews - that honestly just miss the damn point of the purpose of the release! Like, they're actually laughable and no research has been done!

This brings me to the media loving to hate on successful women, unnecessarily. Another who continues to face criticism, Meghan Markle. In this week's news, we learnt the sad passing of Prince Phillip. While Prince Harry has flown back home to the UK to attend the funeral, his wife, WHO IS IN HER THIRD TRIMESTER AND HAS BEEN ADVISED BY HER DOCTORS NOT TO FLY ACROSS THE ATLANTIC DURING A PANDEMIC, is not in attendance. But the media - clickbait media - "Harry will be attending, Meghan will not." I also saw articles insinuating Meghan was to BLAME for the death of Prince Phillip, 99. Yet, did not even mention his son, Prince Andrew....UGHGHHHHH. I JUST CAN'T.

Anyway, no need for me to continue my rant on here, you can go listen to that! This episode also features a surprise guest appearance from my mum (as she called me in the middle of recording)! As always, please rate, review, and subscribe as it really means alot and helps with the podcast. Until next MONDAY 6 AM ET, take care!

77% of the world have some sort of anxiety when it comes to public speaking! I couldn't believe that was the number one fear - ahead of spiders, snakes, etc. when I read that. Before I had the chance to interview Brenden, I was speaking with some of my most confident friends and so many told me about their anxieties when it comes to presenting and speaking in front of an audience. 

While still young, Brenden has spent the past few years not only mastering public speaking but teaching others how to master it too. Providing professional training to top clients such as IBM and McGill University, Brenden also ensures all his content is accessible for all on his YouTube channel. 

Whether you're one of the 77% fearful of public speaking or the other part of the population like myself who's fine with it, I guarantee you'll get something out of this impactful chat. I hope you enjoy this chat! Make sure you rate, subscribe, and review. It really helps us out. New episodes drop each Monday at 6 AM ET.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by social media? Are you wondering what the benefits of TikTok are? While I've had TikTok for a few years, only recently did I really fall in love with it. For me, it's a positive in my life and brings a smile to my face. TikTok is no longer just a tween platform of dance routines, it's so much more than that. In this chat, we speak about the authenticity of the app and Instagram burnout. With any sort of social media, it's also healthy to create boundaries, something we cover in this chat too! New episodes drop each Monday at 6 AM ET.

Harry and Meghan sat down for an interview with Oprah this evening. Nothing was off the table, and boy, as a collective society, we should be ashamed of ourselves. For a majority of Meghan's solo sit-down with Oprah, the hurtful and lying tabloids were discussed. I myself, worked at one of the prominent publications for many years, only finding the courage to leave six-months-ago. While I myself have always believed Meghan and not the tabloids and online trolls, the extent to which this poor woman has been bullied is devastating. Meghan is and has always been an advocate for women, yet she was silenced by the firm. Even when she found the courage to speak up and admit to having had suicidal thoughts and ask for help, she was denied. Can you even imagine being denied help when you're in such a mental state? She TRUSTED them to protect her but was rather thrown out to the dogs. A major takeaway from this interview was about trust. You CAN'T trust anyone to protect or stand up for you. YOU have to do that yourself. 

This is my first solo chat for the season and it was something that I just felt as though I needed to discuss. It's raw, it's honest, there are tears, and it's purely me just speaking from the heart.

Do you have boundaries in place for yourself, your space and your energy? This year, I've been working hard to make it known what I accept and expect for myself in my relationships with friends, families, and partners. For most of my life, I've kept quiet to try not to step on anyone else's toes. But that hasn't respected me. In this chat with my friend, Ally, we have a very open, real, and raw conversation about communication in our friendship and how we're working on being the best versions of ourselves moving forward - and how you can too. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this episode and encourage you to have these sort of conversations with your friends and family too. Make sure you rate, subscribe, and review.
