In this episode, I talk about how I have been feeling in regard to the way things are 'supposed' to be, and why that is well...bullshit. Stop placing pieces of your life into boxes in which you think you are supposed to live in, and start doing whatever you want. Life is short! Have fun, be kind, and be creative. 

Hi friends! This week we talk all about stress and how it can lead to burnout. Butttt hang around and you'll hear some ways to help overcome life's stressors to improve your state-of-being and overall mood. 

This week I am introducing a new sub-series where we discuss trendy topics and discuss some of the research backing it, to see whether it deserves the hype or if it's a hoax. I have been seeing gut health trending for a while now, and wanted to cover some of the information behind it to determine whether or not it is a legitimate thing.  Join me as we come to a conclusion!

Hello everyone! This week I sat down with my friend, Kat, and we discussed body image and our own personal struggles with it. Please be aware that some sensitive topics are discussed in this episode, so if you think you might be easily triggered (i.e., disordered eating) maybe skip this one!

This week join me as I discuss why striving to be 'That Girl' is not always ideal, and can actually set you up for failure. Any progress, whether that be physical or mental, is going to be obtained through realistic goal-setting and sustainability, not perfection or quick-fixes. 

This week, join me as I reflect back on my college experience through undergrad and grad school. From terrible roommates, the pandemic, and meeting people who have changed my life, there is something to learn from every phase!

At some point or another, most of us will experience that terrible pit-in-the-stomach of heartbreak. It is not easy, and it truly does suck. But, breakups are a chance to put yourself first, raise your standards, and grow from the hardships. This week we discuss how to get over a breakup, and why they should be viewed at in a more positive light, all with a shift in mindset.
