Thank you for tuning in for another edition of the Min Rise Podcast. This week I'll be talking about how media creates unrealistic expectations for relationships. I think going into this podcast we all know this but for like many other things it doesn't hurt being repeated. In an age where everything can be broadcasted to the world via social media any of us are victim to comparison and the crazy expectations that media sets for us. There are hundreds of dating shows, reality shows, rom coms, sensual tv shows and more that all influence how we think a relationship should be. Even if we know better than to base our standards off a fictional show there's no doubt that they can influence us tremendously especially when we are in the face of conflict.

Hello everyone I am so thrilled to be back! I missed you all and I've been working on some new content for the second season of my podcast. In today's episode I speak about how it's so easy for all of us  to not celebrate the small victories in our lives. I think it's such good timing for a topic like this as I'm celebrating the small victories while I'm training our new puppy. We do it for our animals so let's put this concept into action and do it for us. Thanks for tuning in and please rate and review my podcast on Apple Podcasts or follow my podcast on Spotify. Thanks!

Join me on this new podcast as I talk about the difference of contentment and happiness. Sometimes we can think they're one in the same but the reality is that they're very different. In the world today happiness can be arguably based on external conditions whereas contentment comes from our relationship to what is going on around us, rather than our reaction to it. It is the peaceful realization that we are whole and complete just as we are, despite the anger, sadness, joy, frustration, and excitement that may come in and out from time to time.

There are dozens of people out there that will tell you hustling is glamorous. It’s the only way to get that dream car, dream vacation, or retire at 45. They will tell you all their secrets if you want them to. But, pay for the online course first. Thanks. Honestly it’s everywhere. Even people I know are becoming “influencers” and selling this life that’s too good to be true. In this episode I examine the truth about hustle culture and what it has evolved into. Will this trend be the downfall of real, authentic joy in our youth? Is it all really too good to be true? Tune in and hear my thoughts.

We all want to improve, we all want to graduate to that next ladder rung in life but what happens when we get to a point where we are living comfortably? What happens when we get to that point? Will we invariably always want more? If consumerism has taught us one thing it’s that we will never have the latest and newest thing forever because society is constantly producing newer and better products. Whether you are searching for a promotion within or searching outside of your company for taking that next step up the corporate ladder it can be discouraging at the very least.

The pandemic is surfacing important differences in perspectives, creating a sense of division in people's relationships or highlighting divisions that were already there. This situation has illuminated the different ways people choose to progress through a situation that impacts everyone. Some people have adapted their life for the greater good, while others are taking a more individualistic approach. Whatever the case may be the pandemic has radically changed our insights on a number of people in our lives.

When you meet someone for the first time, what you do for a living comes up pretty early in the conversation, right? That’s because we’re ingrained from a very young age to equate our identity with our occupation. Your job title instantly conveys certain information about your educational background, your social status, and your bank account. In this episode I explore how we can feel better about our self-worth regardless of what our income is. Now this is no easy task, but the more proud and comfortable we become with what we do for a living, the more that confidence will radiate. When you aren't ashamed of what you do to put food on the table people basing their whole lives on money will start to question where they are putting all of their worth in the first place.

Disordered eating attitudes are rapidly increasing, especially among young women in their twenties. These disordered behaviors result from the interaction of several factors, including beauty ideals. A significant factor is social media, by which the unrealistic beauty ideals are popularized and may lead to these behaviors.
