This week on the Plants and Cats Podcast I chat yet again about burnout and why my recent burnout was just the wake up call that I needed.

I’ve had to make some really tough calls as a business owner lately and let go of some projects that were really near and dear to my heart. In doing so though, I’ve opened myself up to allowing the space that I’ve needed to really dig into writing my memoir and plan out some fun creative projects for this year.

Tune in to today’s episode if you’re feeling stuck and need some reassurance that you CAN change your mind on things in order to realign your life to better suit yourself and your needs.

This week on the podcast I talked about the burnout I've been experiencing the last few months and what I've been doing to try to combat that while at the same time working towards unmasking my autistic traits so that I can start living my life more as my authentic self.

If you or someone you love is wondering whether or not they may be on the autism spectrum, a great resource to start off with is the Embrace Autism website, here: https://embrace-autism.com/autism-tests/

This week on the podcast I talked about why you don't HAVE to set new years resolutions if you don't want to, what you can be doing instead, and why slowing down over the winter can be beneficial for us as humans.

This week on the podcast I talked about why you are the only thing holding yourself back from going after the things you want. Fear gets in the way of the things that you want, and often presents us with all kinds of excuses. I kept hearing how brave I was to make this big move to BC and relocate my life and here's a spoiler for y'all: I'm just as scared shitless as the rest of you! I also talked about how being out here has given me a different perspective on the things I want to be doing and touched on some of the things that I might be changing regarding my focus on my career.

This week I not only talked a bit about my current favourite obsession, MUSHROOMS, but also my recent experience with microdosing psilocybin and the effects it had on my mental health and general outlook on life. 

At the top of the show I talked about our dream vacation to Florida and all the Disney parks and all the other things we did on our whirlwind of a trip so skip ahead about 20 minutes if you want to get right into today's topic.

This week I talked about why self-care isn't just taking a bubble bath, and the importance of making sure we are taking time for ourselves EVERY SINGLE DAY. I'll give you some ideas on ways that you can incorporate more self-care into your life, and how it doesn't have to take up as much time or be as hard as you think. 

This week I talked about why doing an audit of who you follow online is so important and how following the wrong people can be harmful to our self-esteem and what we can do to combat that. 

This week I talked about why photo filters like the ones used on Snapchat, TikTok, and Instagram can be harmful to our self-esteem and what we can do to combat that. I also chatted a little bit about my past as a photo retouch artist and how that part of my career shaped the way I now retouch and edit my own work from my studio in the present day.
