Are you currently stuck in a rut? Are you losing motivation? Are you beating yourself up about not achieving your goals? Sometimes, life can seem so incredibly overwhelming that our bodies just crave a break. In moments of hardship and sadness we tend to slow down, become “lazy,” and do the bare minimum every day to just get by. If you feel like you’ve lost your footing and your motivation, it’s important to recognize that this is NOT regression; this is progress. In the moments of stillness we learn patience, we gain perspective about what’s truly important in this world, and we learn what it’s like to be one with ourselves. In this episode, I talk about how disappointed in myself I’ve been lately about not doing all the things I usually do, and how I’m learning to truly appreciate slowing down. In this episode, you’ll learn how to be a bit more understanding and kind to yourself during your toughest moments. So sit back, relax, and enjoy. Happy Listening!

Are you IN love? Or are you in love with the FEELING of being in love? Are you being treated with respect and trust in your committed relationship? Or are you being put down, controlled, or manipulated? When you're immersed in a relationship accompanied by a wide array of emotions, it's hard to separate emotions from logic. Sometimes, we know that the relationship we're in isn't the best for us, yet we just can't seem to leave. In this episode, I discuss the differences between healthy and unhealthy relationships and how to discover your own self worth. A relationship is a two way street that should uplift, inspire, and motivate you. If your relationship is one-sided, negative, draining, or exhausting, maybe it's time to reconsider. It's important to note that NO one knows your relationship better than you, so this episode is just meant to give some pointers and advice to help point you in the right direction if you feel like you've lost your way. So sit back, relax, and enjoy. Happy Listening!

It’s easy to care for someone so much that you lose sight of your own wants and needs. If a relationship seems one-sided, it’s time to re-evaluate and ask yourself why. Are you spreading yourself too thin? Are you being supportive more than you are being supported? Are you having trouble saying no? Love can be blinding, and it’s easy to ignore our own boundaries for ourselves in order to make the people we love happy. In this episode, I discuss boundary setting and how to set realistic, necessary boundaries in order to put your mental health first. Your wants, needs, and emotional well-being are just as important as the wants, needs, and emotional well-being of the people you love. In order to truly show up and be the best version of yourself to those you love around you, it’s necessary to put YOU first.

In order to make sense of this confusing world around us, we like to be in control. We strive to understand every situation, drive our minds insane trying to manipulate the future, and dwell on situations we cannot control.

The future is uncertain, but the present is clear; the only thing you can be in control of is yourself.

Every person on this planet is looking for love. But, how do we know we’ve really experienced it? What’s “true love” and how do we know we’ve found “the one?” Is love supposed to be completely seamless? Is it supposed to be accompanied by pain? We date and date and date to extract pieces of knowledge from each person we meet in hopes of creating our own unique definition of love. But, what happens when you fall in love with a person addicted to drugs? In this episode, I open up about the hardships I’ve been dealing with the last few months.
