Staggered Stance

I got a test to see how my body reacts to exercise and nutrition. And while some things made sense, other things surprised me (both good and bad). In this episode, I dive into my results so that people can see what this test studies and whether or not it would be good to take it themselves!

In this day and age, posting on social media has become the new "cool" thing to do. And while posting on social media is important for my personal brand, I am also very aware of the negative side of these popular platforms. In this week's episode, I talk about the toxic culture around social media, the need for social currency, and the desensitization of our most cherished memories due to everything being at our fingertips.

Identity is important as it guides us through life and gives us a sense of uniqueness and drive. But is identity also indirectly limiting our opinions and opportunities? In this episode I talk about Identity: the good, the bad, and both at the same time, in hopes to increase the possibilities that we as individuals can see the world and ourselves.

As SUP grows and develops, it is changing. Paddling has changed so much in the past few years and even decades. So today I sat down and decided to talk about these changes and how it has influenced the sport as we know it today.

In this episode, I go through my concerns, challenges, and experiences graduating high school, turning 18, and being thrown into the world of adulting, where all of a sudden, every possibility can be a reality and every decision can determine your future. I talk about the struggles I've experienced due to the lack of daily structure, and the mental challenges of the expectancy of maturity while still experiencing the "immaturity" of my teenage years.

I learned a lot about myself this past week, and I want to talk about it! Learning to be ok with being less productive is hard, but through an epiphany I just had, it doesn’t seem that bad.

Why buy something and not use it until it no longer works? Why contribute to the production of an item when you only plan on using it once? I learned an important lesson about the importance of being aware of the environmental impacts of the items we own, and the lack of accountability we face when letting these items go. If we aren't aware of these topics, what will become of the world when we never put them into action?
