Hello! In today's episode, I wanted to have a chat about YouTube, social media, the cultures online & ultimately, the toxicity of being in the public eye. I also address some changes I've decided to make to the podcast itself & overall just have a conversation about how I'm feeling towards youtube.

Hello! In today's episode, I talk all about value and mindset - two topics that are really important to me. We tend to put other people's opinions of us on a pedestal...why? In this episode, I go into depth about the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset and how we can control how we let outside influence affect us and our view of ourselves.

Hello! In today's episode, I talk about a topic that I'm honestly very passionate about - perfectionism. I have been dealing with perfectionism for a long time now and I really want to bring my thoughts about the topic into this podcast. In this episode, I go into depth about how we value 'perfect' and the differences it can have person-to-person. I further talk about mindset and how you can take control of the situation by changing your perspective.

MENTIONED:

'strive for progress, not perfection'
