On the Bright Side

I’ll be honest: last week, I had a meltdown trying to figure out my post-grad plans. Picture Kim Kardashian crying— yes that was a spitting image of what I looked like. Should I move to Boston to be with my friends? Stay home, save money and focus on content creation from here? Honestly, I still don’t know. But after some reflection and great advice, I’ve realized that the typical timeline of graduating, getting a 9-5, getting married, having kids, and retiring is just one of over 7 billion paths. There’s no set way for how our lives should go; we all have our own wants and needs.

Maybe right now, you should focus on building relationships while a friend is chasing her dream job. Our timelines are ours to shape, and there’s no one right way to do it!

We also need to remember that we’re still figuring things out. At 22, I’m really just a toddler in my twenties. You wouldn’t expect a two-year-old to have everything together, so I shouldn’t expect that from myself either. It’s all about embracing the journey.

I think everyone could use this reminder, no matter where they are in life. There’s no need to compare yourself to others. Don’t scroll through LinkedIn and feel bad if you haven’t found a job yet—everyone’s journey is different. And you don’t have to rush to find “your person” just because friends are getting married and starting families.

Give yourself some grace and focus on your own timeline. BRB I’m going to go listen to this myself and hopefully take my own advice!! Happy listening!

A month ago, I was raving about his book, and now—get this—he’s on my podcast! I’m thrilled to welcome entrepreneur, mindfulness expert, and host of Apple's top 25 podcast New Mindset Who Dis, Case Kenny, to this episode of On the Bright Side.

What better person to talk about thriving as your best self than the author who literally wrote the book on it? We dive into everything from flipping negatives into positives, breaking free from a copy-and-paste lifestyle, and even the art of talking to yourself like you would an ex you're still obsessed with.

This conversation was nothing short of amazing, and I’m beyond grateful that life gave me this opportunity! Happy listening!

PSSTT... check out his instagram https://www.instagram.com/case.kenny/?hl=en (I know you've seen his red sharpie post, and probably have reposted them before)

Nobody deserves to be stuck in a toxic relationship—whether it’s a friendship, a romantic partnership, or anything in between. Sometimes, staying in a bad situation feels easier, even if it’s holding you back from a better life. We often don’t realize how much more fulfilling life can be if we just find the courage to make a change. Remember, you deserve relationships that lift you up and help you grow. Life’s too short for anything less!

Just know, you’re never too much of anything! You were never fake for being too nice. You were never too dramatic for sharing your feelings, and you are never too much for the right people. You bring joy and love to the world with your beautiful qualities. Those qualities deserve to be celebrated by the people who truly appreciate them. You and all those wonderful qualities are like a refreshing drink on a sunny day, a dollop of whip cream on a stack of pancakes—something people LOVE and look forward to! So let’s chat about how we can all let ourselves shine and heal from what’s harmed us.

Caroline is in, and she’s ready to work☎️ On this episode of On the Bright Side, I figured it was time for another advice session because, let's be real, this girl loves to CHAT!I knew it was time to hit record when I got an anonymous ask that started with “male listener here”… like, okay, I’m going back to my wingwoman roots—and am LOVING it?!?!

We’re covering the 411 on everything from feeling lonely after cutting off toxic people, to questionable job locations, to dealing with high anxiety levels to situationship mishaps…because let’s be honest when have you heard of a situationship ending well.

So yeah, this is a conversation you want all ears on because plot twist…we all share a lot of the same problems—just in different fonts. Seriously, is this play about us?! So grab a snack, sit back, and get ready to take some notes.

It’s time we start living life in color again and stop accepting the gray. Hozier said it best “I got some color back, she thinks so too, I’m almost me again, she’s almost you”. You can’t be the real you, if you’re not living an authentic life of yours to the fullest. So how do you unlearn past habits and find your most authentic self? It starts with YOU! Now let me tell you how & what I did to make my life a brighter place!! Happy listening <3

The book I mention is called “How Bold of You” by Case Kenny - I definitely recommend reading to further your self help journey!! Book linked below!!

If something negative is said about you, are you mature if you never say anything, or are you simply being walked on? Who makes these rules and where can I find the guide?! Finding the balance between speaking up and letting it go is tough, and it’s something I struggle with. I’m far from mastering this “guide”, but it’s a topic that really got me thinking…one I wanted to learn, pull apart and chat about!

School’s out…but for good this time?? On this episode of OTBS, Cole Giannasca joins me on the podcast to recap our senior week at UNH, discuss what life has been like after graduation, and share funny stories from college…basically one big college debrief. This is about as unfiltered as it gets on this podcast…so be ready to laugh and also feel so understood (I too have entered the “graduation spiral”). Post-grads, this one’s for you! Happy listening <3
