During all of these crazy covid19 times, I have been finding that laughter has been the best medicine for me. I have been going out of my way to watch comedy specials on Netflix, funny videos on Instagram and whatever else I can get my hands on that will make me laugh and even just for a minute forget all the chaos that is happening in the world around me. So this week I decided to share some of the WORST dates I have even been on in hope to share a few laughs with you :)

Last year I found myself in a place where I was grieving the expectations I had for where I thought I should be in life and what I expected my life to look like by my mid 20's. On this weeks episode we are talking all about navigating through grieving your unmet expectations.

I have been seeing these productivity shaming posts circulating all over social media that has been annoying me. These posts have basically been saying that if you do not walk out of this pandemic with abs, a million dollar business model and a book completed then you have wasted your time and you lacked discipline. UMMM HOW INSENSITIVE!! What about the people that have literally been battling depression and anxiety every day with this crisis? Stop shaming people until feeling guilty if they are unable to create something right now. You do NOT have to be productive right now!

This is not how I planned to start episode 1 of my podcast, but honestly I could not ignore the real feelings I, and many others are currently feeling during this time. If you are struggling with anxiety right now, I pray that Matthew 6:25-34 is a sweet and gentle reminder for you to trust in God.

Some of my favorite worship songs to listen to have been:

1. Maverick City Music Spontaneous Worship

2. Bethel Music

3.  "Way Maker" - Paul McClure

Scriptures:

Psalm 27:13-14

Isaiah 41:10

John 16:33
