Surviving the Arena

Welcome to Season 3 of the Surviving the Arena podcast! I am back, back again in the arena sharing more life lessons with all of you Warriors! This season, you can expect to hear about more growth, more life lessons and experiences, and more blessings. Tune in, EVERY FRIDAY for a new episode of Surviving the Arena! Thank you again Warriors, for joining me for another season, and for being there with me as we all learn how to THRIVE in this arena called LIFE!

THANK YOU WARRIORS! We made it to the end of SEASON 2 and I couldn't be here without all of the support and love I have received from all of you. I'm taking this time to put all the lessons I have acquired this season into practice. During the break, make sure to catch up on any episodes you have missed and stay tuned for SEASON 3! I will be returning to the arena on July 1st, so save the date and join me then!

This week's class is all about RELATIONSHIPS! We're doing things a little bit different for the final class of this season. I asked you Warriors for your questions about relationships and in this episode I give you my insight and experience, in the hopes that it helps you to navigate your relationships (romantic or otherwise)! Tune in and remember to let me know what you thought of this segment and if you would like it to return in Season 3!

This week in the arena I am talking all about the silent killer: comparison. Comparison truly is the killer of joy and we all know this. Yet, we all still give into it. It's one of those inevitable feelings we all experience, but if we don't learn how to manage it, how to prevent it from making us doubt ourselves, it can have some lasting effects. This week I am sharing some tips and advice on how I manage the feeling of comparison, allowing me to stay focused on what really matters; me, my happiness, and my success!

This week in the arena I am talking about worry! We all do it. We spend so much of our time and mental energy worrying about those things in life we just cannot control. This week I am sharing with you what happens when we worry, and giving you Warriors an exercise to try along with me, so that we can all get our heads out of the future we cannot control, and into the present that we should be enjoying!

This week's class is all about PERSONAL FINANCES! Join me in the arena classroom as I sit down with financial confidant, Val as we talk about all things personal finance. Val offers her insight on good financial habits, things to consider when making big purchases, and addresses some of the most common mistakes made when it comes to finances. Get a pen and paper and tune in!

This week in the arena, I am talking about fear. It's been a year since all of our lives were changed by the pandemic and with the continued uncertainty comes fear. Fear can be a bad thing, it can hold us back from living our lives, from making connections, and having genuine experiences. But fear can also be a good thing. Fear is a friend, a teacher, a reminder, that we are stronger than we know. So, tune in to hear about how I view fear and why I trust it to remain my friend in life, keeping me safe but not keeping me from truly enjoying my life. 

This week in the arena we are talking all about forgiveness and setting boundaries, two crucial skills you will need on your healing and personal development journeys! They are tough to do, but so worth the effort! Tune in to hear some of my boundaries and why I believe that these two skills are so important.

This week's class is all about PATHS TO SUCCESS. I am joined by one of my closest friends, Kyle Larkin, and we are talking about the different options you have in life and the importance of taking time to make decisions. We are often ushered down one path while we are in school and are greatly affected by the pressure of time. This week, Kyle and I are talking about the importance of weighing all your options and taking time to know you before making a plan for the future.
