Have you ever wondered why it is soooo tough to start a new habit? Or to break a bad one? In this week's episode, Elena talks about her favorite takeaways from the book Atomic Habits by James Clear. She discusses the importance of eliminating temptation, habit stacking (yeah, I know, sounds odd at first), and the benefits of just showing up for yourself. Enjoy this week's episode! 

Can you smell the roses and chocolates in the air?! Valentine's Day is right around the corner! In this episode, Elena is joined by her best friend Genesis and the two discuss friendships and romantic relationships.

Enjoy! 

Surprise! An episode is being released and it's not Tuesday?! Well... Elena has nothing but time on her hands at the moment. In this episode, she tells you why she's in isolation (take your best guess as to why–I'm sure you can figure it out) and some stories! One story mentions one of her favorite memories with her friend, Ariadna, and when the two of them went out during a snowstorm!?! Hope you enjoy listening :))

This episode was inspired by a text. The text read, "Should I text my ex?" 

This week, Elena voices her opinion on closure (in romantic relationships) and why texting an ex is ALWAYS a bad idea. Yeah, it's like she really isn't stating the obvious here *sarcastic tone*

Enjoy this week's episode and remember: never go to the problem for a solution <3
