In this episode me and Joy sit down for a long chat about first apartments, social media, success stories, and so much more. (For a little background) Joy and Me met on set for a short film earlier this month. She has been singing and songwriting since a very young age and is also currently writing her own book and working on her poetry. She had lived in the Boston area for a while before returning to live back home. After hearing all of this about her I immediately knew that there was so much we could all learn from her and her experiences.

Forgiveness is something that ive struggled with. Sometimes I hold grudges and cant let things go, other times I feel that ive been hurt in ways that I'll never truly be able to overcome. For a longtime I thought forgiveness meant letting someone get away with their actions and let them off the hook. Was I really letting them "get away with it"? Where do you even start? I cover all of these questions, share some tools for how to forgive, and so much more in this episode.

“Forgiveness is a transformative act because it asks you to be a more empathetic and compassionate person, thereby making you better than the person you were when you were first hurt.”

I don't like small talk..but I do think it's important to know how to navigate little conversations and to communicate with others better on a day to day basis. Thats why todays episode is all about small talk! Ive made a few recent "breakthroughs" on small talk that have really helped me strengthen my conversation skills. In this episode I'll be sharing tips on body language, handling awkward silence, and more!

For the longest time I thought that extraverts were the bubbly social people and that introverts were shy and awkward...boy was I wrong. In this episode I talk about how I discovered I was introverted and discuss the many common misconceptions about our personality types. 

Q&A pt 2!! Lucy is back for another Q&A episode where we talk all things school. We share our advice on homework tips, forming a sleep schedule, and also share our thoughts on whether or not we think having friends in school is "overrated".

( *Disclaimer* Unfortunately the audio quality in this episode is not that great. There is a few times where the mic cuts out dialogue and there is background noise. This was all due to the location and mic we were using. Next weeks episode will be MUCH better because I will be back in the studio. Stay tuned!! )
