Episode 20! We made it, and we’re so happy you’re here! This week, I sat down with my lovely friend, Anna Grace Newell. She is truly SUCH a dynamic soul, and a woman of many talents. We’ve been friends since 2017, and have experienced much of life together. Something that bonded us from the beginning, was our struggles with food, body image, working out, and the anxiety we put around those things. We’ve both undergone a transformation of sorts, and healed ourselves from within while learning and growing in various parts of our lives. I’m so thankful for everything I’ve learned from struggling with that for so long, so we share our stories to try and help you if you’re struggling too. Living in these bodies sometimes means intrinsically hating these bodies, feeling shame around how they look and obsessing over making them “perfect.” We get it, we’ve been to every dark place you have, and we want to help and make you feel less alone. So we hope you enjoy these conversations and I’m always here if you need me. xo

On this week’s episode, I bring on a dear friend of mine. The one, the only Genevieve Henderson. Gen was actually one of my first friends in Denver, and quickly become someone that I hope sticks around for the long haul. A fellow podcaster herself, she takes the mic quite naturally. We had zero plan going into this, and really took the episode all over the map. We swap dating stories, Gen demonstrates how hard she pulls, transformations that occurred for us both post-college, challenging and overcoming them, and much more. Lots of laughs of course because, well, we’re both hilarious. I hope you enjoy this episode and get to know my dear friend! If you’d like to follow along with her, you can follow her personal account on instagram @genny_henny, and from there you can snag links to not one, but TWO of her podcasts. Let us know what you think and have a great day xo.

Have you ever heard something that really stuck with you? Something said in passing, in a book, on a billboard that shifts your mind forever? Well this week, I take a solo episode to share all of my favorite pieces of literature. Quotes, phrases, words, books, poems; things that have truly changed my life and the way I think. Take notes if they rock you, and explore meanings they could have for you, whether similar or different than my takeaways. Truly an earth shattering episode, in my humble opinion. If you feel something, anything at all, slide in my dms at @rawintentionspodcast. Or not. Either way I hope you enjoy xo

In today’s episode, we welcome a very special guest- Ethan Smyth, aka my brother. Although he's "Brutha from Anotha Motha," in my contacts, he is very much from the same mother. Unfortunately. Anyways, in this episode, we turn the clocks back, and reminisce on all the good ole days of our blissfull childhood. Fights over gameboys, throwing up outside of a childhood bedroom, fond memories as the VIP position of my younger brother, lots of laughs, and calling grandma to ask who her favorite grandchild is. We went really rogue with this and go all over the place, and had lots of fun in the studio. Although I forced him to record with me, Ethan already wants to come back and record a part two. Let us know what you think and if he should be permitted back on the Raw Intentions set. Enjoy xo

POV: You and I are talking on the phone, I'm probably on a stroll in my neighborhood, and we're giving each other ALL the life updates. Because this week, I decided to take a beat to bring everyone up to speed on all the intimate details of my life that literally no one asked for. We talk about everything. My recent birthday, an ex flame popping his head in to say hello, a new flame on the horizon, moving, and lots more. Jam packed and juicy, whether we're besties in real life or online, I'm giving you the lowdown. So mom if you're reading this, don't listen. Definitely a bit different than episodes in the past, so I hope you like it! And if you do, you MUST let me know what you think! Also if you’d like to play a drinking game, take a shot every time I says “like.” Warning though, you might black out xo

Getting really personal, and dare I say, RAW? Because in this episode, I share my story with getting diagnosed and living with Crohns, an autoimmune disease that resides in the digestive tract. We really get into it- I talk about my lifestyle changes, dietary restrictions, alcohol adjustments, and lots of accidental sharting of le pants during bad flare ups. Why in the world do I share all of this highly personal information? Because I want you to know you're not alone if you're dealing with this shit, no pun intended. If you’re struggling with any kind of gut disease or think you might have something funky going on, this is the episode for you. And please know, you have all the support right here to validate your experiences and get advice for managing your own illness. We hope you enjoy this very niched episode, and please don't hesitate to reach out on @rawintentionspodcast with any further questions xo.

The final part of the three part business series has arrived! If you need a refresher, you can catch part one and part two on the “Fake it Til You Make it” and “Content, Customers, & Covid” episodes. Today, we did what we've dreaded doing. We've done the research, read the articles, and of course called my dear father with a million boring questions that had equally boring answers. I take the mic and spills the beans on everything you’re most likely confused about as you start your business. Taxes, licensing, wtf an LLC is, finding the right supplier, having employees, and so much more. Essentially, I'm a woman of the people- I did the research so you don’t have to, spelling out the do’s and don’ts of the important, inevitable decisions as a business owner. Hopefully you’ll find these words from the wise helpful, and enjoy this weeks episode. Xo

Although we planned on doing part 3 of the riveting self proclaimed business series, I turned 28 this week, and nostalgia hit me like a freight train. So I decided to pivot, and this weeks episode is an ode to my former self. All the things I wish I'd known as I've moved through the mysterious era of my twenties. There's no rule book, but I do my best to impart some wisdom. We talk about friends, self image, the art of saying no, my trusty vibrator, dating, and to wear more sunscreen. This is the perfect episode for any ladies moving through their twenties, wondering what the hell is going on. The truth is, none of us know what we’re doing, so let’s figure it out together. Enjoy this episode and leave some feedback if you feel so inclined. xo

On this week’s episode, we decided to kick off a short series where we talk anything and everything business. Questions and advice on entrepreneurship & business are by far the most frequently asked, and something that, over the years, I've gained quite a bit of experience with. In college, I started Raw & Rebellious, a side hustle that's turned into my full time job. My story is a bumpy one, so I decided to take us all WAY back to wear it all began. This episode gives advice on getting started, noticing your thoughts, the dangers of comparison, what success looks like, the toxicity of the work horse mentality, dealing with copy cats, and much more. So here is part one, with a few more business centered podcasts episodes to follow. If you have any business questions that you’d like us to answer in future episodes, please message them on instagram at @rawintentionspodcast, and you can follow along with my buizzz on instagram as well at @raw_rebellious. Enjoy this episode and let us know what you think! Xo
