Today, I take a solo episode to look back on the good ole days. Ok ok, hold up- my college years weren't THAT long ago. I'm not that old, chill out.  However, I must say, they do seem to be slipping farther and farther away with each passing year. Anyways, it's August, and everyone is headed back to school; so I thought it would be a good opportunity do a little reflecting. How would I have done college differently? What would I do the same? What did I learn in and outside of the classroom? Whether you're starting in college, going back for a new year, or want to feel a little nostalgia for your younger years, this is the episode for you! Laugh, learn, and enjoy episode 9 of Raw Intentions. Xo

Today we bring you part two of a two part interview with lovers and friends Mack & Tony. They take us on a trip. Ha Ha, get it? Awful joke. Anyways, I sit down with them and continues our riveting conversation all about van life and their travels, while then pivoting to some drug dialogue. Specifically, the ever so lovely ~mushrooms~ M & T, resident experts on the magical fairy dust, break it down for any beginners out there, and talk about their own experiences, what you should expect if you're a first timer, and the best way to have the most beautiful experience possible. The wine and the weed are really flowing in this episode, and the conversations go into the wee hours of the night in all different directions. So enjoy our very candid and increasingly intoxicated chats, and happy tripping yo yo. xo

On this week’s episode, I interview my friends Mack & Tony on a wide array of things. We sat and recorded conversations inside a van; a van who’s interior was built from scratch to create a home within the 70 sq. ft walls it provided. They sold all of their belongings, packed their lives and their dog Dixie, and hit the road for a year and a half of full van life adventures. Mack and Tony not only share advice on purchasing your own van, and building it from scratch (which they lovingly named Chicken Legs), but also share relationship advice, funny stories from their travels, and Kardashian gossip. These conversations were fueled with copious amounts of Cab Sav and Mary Jane, and went into the wee hours of the night. So, for timesake and to pair with our ever so shrinking attention spans, we split this episode into 2 parts. You can listen and laugh with part one here, and part two will drop next Thursday. Enjoy the episode xo

So many of us are on the dating scene; trying time and time again to put ourselves out there and find "the one." Although dating and being single can be endlessly fun and silly, it can also be really hard. On today's episode, Raw Intentions discusses rejection, heartache, and the ugly sides of the dating game. I've had countless experiences rejecting and being rejected throughout my life, but a recent experience had me turned sideways. I share my own recent experiences with the depths and heaviness that rejection involves, as well as things I did to navigate that temporary time in my life and come out on the other side. I also touch on how to be there for a friend when they're having sad girl hours, and how to know when you're ready to cannonball into the dating pool once more. Thank you for being here, and remember- you're not alone in your sadness, dating is HARD and having feelings is cool. Always here if you need a friend, and I hope this episode makes you feel less alone. Enjoy episode 6, and let us know what you think!

In this episode, I invite my dear friends Baylie & Emily Beebe, to come chat with me as my first ever guests on the podcast. On a roadtrip back to Denver from Aspen, I asked the car their opinions on various subjects that I planned on discussing on this weeks episode. Well, their insight was so, well... insightful, that I decided I needed their help telling the story on the mic. The conversations were so juicy and full of information, I decided to make it a two-parter. Today, we deep dive into all things friends. Moving to a new city, friendships and navigating them as they change from college to your 20's, making new friends and tangible ways to do that, and so much more. With tons of stories, laughs, advice, and Deborah being the absolute GOAT, you're going to want to give this one a listen. Thanks so much for the love & support, and hope y'all enjoy the episode! Xo

The first real life episode. Well the second I guess, but still! Scary! Today, I take a deep dive into not only what it means to be single, but also how to make the most of this season of your life. I've become the resident expert on this single stage of life, as I've been single for the majority of my twenties. I want to empower you, and give you the tools to help you find the many positive things that your temporary relationship status allows. I get it sister; I can empathize with what you may or may not feel about your current solitude, because any thought or feeling you've had, I probably have too. So allow me to use my own life experiences to guide you, with the hopes that you leave feeling understood, validated, and excited to try to make the most of it all. It won't last forever, so make it count! Enjoy this episode, and please forgive us for the poor audio quality. We'll get better I promise.
