When we think of people who have a seemingly “cool” life, we forget that they’re regular human beings like us who go through the mundane, everyday as well. In reality, your life only sucks if you THINK it sucks. Today I give a new perspective on how to have a good, fulfilling life and why having a “boring” life isn’t really a thing.

Society constantly places so much emphasis on our value as individuals based on our relationship status. For alot of us, being single in our 20’s comes with humiliation and shame, especially if you’ve never dated before. We tend to believe that we’re “behind” in life and blame ourselves for never having a romantic encounter. I’m here to tell you why thats NOT true.

As a society we’re constantly told that happiness is everything. The point of life is to be happy. But we can’t be happy ALL the time. I talk about why in todays episode.

Today I discuss the stereotypes that come with being an introvert vs. extrovert. For some reason, the first always gets the most negative connotations and I dive into the reasons why. I’ve gotten to experience the best of both worlds growing up as a super shy kid, but then also branching out to a social butterfly as I got older. I explain where I am at now socially, and the traits of being an INFJ.

Lyna is an older sister and I am a younger sister, which not only has its own assumptions and expectations, but also challenges and perks. We discuss differing traits for the youngest vs. oldest child to see if any of them ring true for us, and our favourite memories overall with our siblings.

Staying in your hometown is often met with frowns. Society frames your 20’s as a period where you should be exploring and going on adventures as much as possible, which is usually equated with a change of location. In the media, we always see the characters dying to leave their town so that their life can ‘truly begin.’ Today I discuss the reasons for why I stayed in my hometown and it’s perks, & why I hate societal pressure to be independent and move out.

Feeling sad and lonely is a natural emotion that comes to everybody from time to time. But there’s nothing worse than not being able to pin point the core reasons for these negative feelings. As a society, we’ve been conditioned to think that if you have a roof over your head, food on your table, and people who love you then you should count your blessings. In this episode I get personal with what I’ve been feeling lately and how I’ve been allowing myself to feel these emotions without guilt, and why it’s OK to just not be OK.

Christmas as a kid was the most wonderful time of the year, but as we grow up, that magical feeling slowly goes away. In this episode I talk about the FOMO and loneliness that may arise during the holiday season and how I view Christmas differently in my 20’s.

This episode is much different than the others because I share a vulnerable part of my past that most people don’t know. Trigger warnings: mentions of eating disorders, calorie counting, food restrictions.

Growing up, it was the biggest compliment ever to be considered “cool.” I don’t have much experience in this realm though, so I discuss what I thought cool was back then vs. how it’s changed in university. The question remains: is anyone actually cool? And why are some people put on a pedestal more than others?
