Still Figuring It Out

hi, I know in this episode I talk about a lot of things. So, I'm not going to make a whole paragraph about it. I just want you to know how thankful I am for anyone who listens to this and how happy I am to finally be back. I promise to never take this long to return again. 

Hi guys, I know it's been a while but as you will see from this episode there's a reason for it. I promise to never go away that long again. And to everyone who reached out to me, you will never know how much it's meant to me. I love you guys so much, here's to so much more. 

I know I may start off this podcast being very happy and sarcastic, but deep down I'm feeling a lot of different things. I feel guilty, abandoned, sad, confused, angry, lost, out of routine, and just overall overwhelmed. If you listen through this whole episode, thank you. I never imagined in my wildest dreams that I would ever have to utter those words but it's real and it happened and is still happening as I post this. If you take anything away from this episode it's to wear a mask, social distance, stay home if you're not feeling well, and don't be selfish and not think about other people. Thank you for always being there for me, especially in a time like now. 

In this episode, I am probably the most chipper I've been in a while. Why you may ask? I'm on vacation this week. So, I take you along what I've done so far this week which includes seeing friends and loved ones, staying busy, and getting attacked by bees. I then go into the topic for this week: the author Taylor Jenkins Reid. I talk a little about her life and tell you about 3 of her most popular books. Between a Hollywood starlet, a family with a past, or a rock band from the '70s, Reid does it all. Think these stories will be worth the read? You'll have to tune in to find out. 

Hi, you guys. I know it's been a while (2 weeks) since I've last uploaded. So, with nothing planned for this episode, and ginger ale poured into my wine glass I sit down and catch you guys up on where I've been for the better half of August. Between birthday parties, anniversaries, a wedding, and a failed interview there's a lot to talk about. Thank you all so much for your support, and I can't wait to give you new episodes. 

In this episode, I rally through some scorching weather to talk about my past weekend of fun in the sun, overwhelming work days and trying to get through the night without waking up. I then go into the topic, an author you need to know and read. I give a brief overview of who Alex Michaelides is, talk about his two books and tell you why you need to go to your local bookstore, buy them, and read them at the beach. If you need a sign to get back into reading, here is it. 

In this episode, I catch you guys up on my life and what I've been up to. Between some traveling, getting wine drunk, and learning to relax, I come to terms with how I've really been feeling. To be honest, my mental health is not loving me. I go into the topic of the idea that we have to have it all and be "on" all the time. How society and comparing ourselves to others influence us as well as learning to take a pause and not see resting as being lazy. If you need a sign to do just this, I hope this episode can do that for you like it's trying to for me. Thank you so much for sticking around and if you're new, enjoy the ride.

For anyone listening to this with headphones on, you have been warned. With so much love you showed with my last guest episode, I thought the best way to thank you would be to do another one. And boy, did we deliver. With seltzers in our stomachs and questions in the palm of our hands we get honest and upfront with you guys. We cover every and anything we get asked. There are drinks, laughs, and most importantly, friendship. Thank you for all the love recently, there's so much more to come. 

In this episode, I talk about my hectic work week, barely having time to breathe, and why I'm taking a break from drinking. I then go into the topic for this week, the idea of trying to find my "home." Whether it be physical, family, or relationship-wise, I never felt like I had a home in any of those. It took writing it down for me to see it was starting to come along all this time. The beauty of writing. I hope you enjoy this as much and as hard as it was for me to write it.

In this episode, I talk about finding new job opportunities, working out again, and getting on a reading grind again. Then, we do a truth or drink with my special guest, my best friends Meg, Mandy, and Amy. We get honest and real and that's all that matters. If you want more of us, let us know.
