Oh, Josephine...

If you have been listening for a minute you know that I am a workaholic, but when I say "I'm working" I am not always typing away on a computer. I am doing everything to make sure my body is a stable work environment. This could mean sleeping the afternoon away, going on a run, chatting with friends, having a glass of wine and a home cooked meal. It could mean so many different things, but whatever it is... I am working.

From yourself, from others, from anything. Stop, stop accepting mediocracy and calling it a win. It doesn't benefit you, it doesn't make you happy. It makes you okay with being just "okay" and that is truly - not okay.

Being stressed is a way of life, but how you handle it is a totally different conversation. I have been in the hospital once or twice due to my MASSIVE amounts of stress and have a few tips on how I handle it... check it out now!

It is officially the fall season and although I already have my Chestnut Praline Latte in hand; I am only forced to think about how I have changed just as much as the leaves in the past 3 months, and how I could not be more grateful. What season of life are you in?

This is a Podcast where I pride myself on being raw and real... tune in... this catch up is a crazy one...

Out in Los Angeles, it is always "Hi, I am so and so" followed by a quick description of your occupation. What I have noticed is that everyone out here not only introduces themselves like that, but they introduce some amazing people like that. I do not care if you work in a drive through or if you are the COO of apple... who are you?

We are all known for it... we tell ourselves what we want to hear in hopes that one of these days it will actually be true. Some call it manifesting, some call it delusion. I call it lying. At the end of the day you are holding yourself only to these false realities, and you are the only one that can stop it. So, babe... stop lying to yourself. 

There are only a few people in this world that will truly understand you, and luckily... I have found 2. Josephine talks about how sometimes it can feel like there is nobody that quite gets why you move the way that you do. This can be something as simple as not understanding why you are so busy or why you always have your laptop. She also goes into how these two people are her closest friends because at the end of the day.. they just get it!

Living as a 21 year old from a small town in Arkansas forces some ups and downs when it comes to just trying to be SOMETHING here. Everyone is looking at you to be big; your parents, your family, your friends, the collective whole town. Let's talk about the pressure of it all, and how sometimes even the smallest things can bring a tear to your eye and change the whole perspective.

I know it has been a minute y'all... and for that I am sorry. However, we are back and better than ever! Here is a catch up episode because life has been life-ing in the best and worst ways recently... How's your past 30 days been?
