Often I think we don't realize how many times a day we are making a choice. From small to big, each decision defines the trajectory of our day, week, month, and even years. I talk about my perspective and opinion of how I believe we should handle this; based on my own recent experience with forgetting the power I have to change any situation I deem negative or holding me back. Realize that we are making our life what it is through our daily choices, whether they be physical, mental, or emotional.

Pronoia is now introducing VIDEO episodes! (only on Spotify. If you are listening on Apple Podcast, I get into the topic at 2:55)

Welcome to the very first one, where I provide helpful and realistic tips on how to get back into reading regularly as an adult-or just as someone who hasn't read a book in a while! After elementary school, the number of books I read rapidly declined. Instead of reading novels in my own time, I just completed the book assignments given to me in my English classes. Two years out of high school, I finally began reading again after SAYING I would for years. I was finally led back to reading consistently in October 2022. Through trial and error, I have found that the 7 pieces of advice I give to you in this episode really kickstart the reader in us-I hope they help you too!

I appreciate you for listening (and watching hehe) -Em <3

Let's get real. Today I felt inspired to speak freely about some thoughts that have been racing through my mind. I get vulnerable about my silent struggles and share a couple journal entries. I wanted to break the barrier of portraying a "I have it all together" identity, and really knock down some walls I have been keeping up. I think it is so important to make sure my presence on any social platform is as authentic as possible. Life isn't linear, and I am working on accepting every emotion as it is, remembering that anyones judgment of that is only a reflection on them. I hope this helped you connect with me a bit more.

Know that I empathize with your silent struggles too, & you aren't alone.

I appreciate you listening, Stay Pronoid...

psa: I struggled with audio difficulties with this episode for an entire day lol, so I apologize if the quality is not great! I did the best I could as I'm figuring out a new software, but I hope it is listenable!

Since the beginning of January 2023, I have had two experiences that became pivotal moments in my life thus far. A huge theme for me lately seems to be bettering my relationships with those close to me, and getting comfortable setting healthy boundaries. Each of these experiences from the past three months have revolved around 1, a lack of boundaries, and 2, a resolution resulting from setting healthy ones! In this episode I expand on these two pivotal moments, and explain multiple life-changing lessons I learned from both, that have set the tone for how I carry myself in my relationships with other humans going forward.

As always, thank you for listening, I am so grateful you did and I hope you are too(:

Life can be a b*tch sometimes, am I right? It can also throw us many hurdles that can take us completely out of the present moment. Not only that, but the rise of social media with the ability to have access to see everyones individual life experiences and careers, it is easy to compare where we are in our journey, with others. This comparison easily takes us into a state of constant anxiety about our futures, feeling unable to keep up, and wondering why we aren't accomplishing our goals as fast, compensating by watching others live a life we dream of. That is why learning to enjoy our journey is so important. We need to remember that our life path is our own, and in divine timing, we will attract everything we desire. Meanwhile, let's find joy in the process, joy in the simple pleasures of life! Let's appreciate everything we have and enjoy being in a flow state. 

In this episode I give tips on how I keep myself from falling too far away from my presence, and how I hold the 'enjoy the journey' mindset, through the ups and downs of being human.

As corny as it may sound to some, music truly saves. It is magic, it is frequency, it is the portal into our deep subconscious; and if we listen, it has the power to tell us so much about ourselves as well as slowly change our thought process over time. Music is many of our safe space and a universal form of therapy. We can truly heal from music and gain new perspectives on events in our lives. It has always intrigued me that a song can resonate so differently with different people, and our interpretations all depend on what mindset we are listening in. That is why I want to introduce this concept on my show, a series called: harmony Hz - where I will have guests on this podcast to share what a certain song means to them. Let's pave way for great conversation, new perspective, and connections, through our mutual love for music! I hope you enjoy this idea as much as I do (:

Up until the end of 2022, I never understood what a healthy, striving, friendship looked like. Although I had some healthy friendships, I didn't see them as often as the friends who were not healthy for me. I spent the majority of my time constantly around people who did not bring out my best, who were not empathetic towards me, and lacked every one of my friendship needs. Until I finally took the time to really find my true self, and learn what type of people I strive with, I was searching for friends in dead ends. In this episode I speak on my experience with finally leaving behind friendships that hurt me, In order to attract the genuine and authentic connections I have now! My purpose for this is to hopefully motivate you to recognize what you have been accepting that no longer lifts you up, and if need be, let some people go.

Something about today makes me want to talk about Love...<3

In the spirit of Valentines Day, in this Valentines edition episode, I offer some tips on how to start loving yourself, and keep loving yourself. In my opinion, loving yourself is not the same as just possessing confidence; having true love for yourself is a commitment with an importance of intention. I'm no expert at practicing perfect self-love, but after a long time of not knowing the first thing about what it meant to love myself, I have finally developed a somewhat lifestyle of encouraging the prioritization of showering myself with the care and kindness I need in order to love being me. This Valentines Day I decided to dedicate the entire day to taking myself on dates, treating myself, and setting new intentions for self-love. At the end of the episode I share my plans and ideas for spending this day focused on the love you can give yourself rather than focusing on the couple aspect of this holiday.

What is having faith in humanity?

In this episode, I unpack this question from it's exact definition as well as I explain how through a recent event in my life, as upsetting it has been, I have had my faith in humanity restored. Now, in order to have this faith restored, there must have been a lack of it before. I began to think deeply about what it means to have such little faith and belief in our human community. I discovered how living with a distrustful mindset affected the treatment I accepted in my life, the way I may have misjudged others, and the debilitation to my emotional well-being. I decided to alter my mindset to that now I consider having faith in humanity as one of my values, rather than something to be 'restored' and to be 'lost'.
