  • Dating in your Twenties (with Katy Bellotte)

    Today’s episode is all about dating in your twenties: the apps, the bad first dates, the pressure to be married by 30, and everything in between. I bring on NYC content creator Katy Bellotte, to chat about the pressures of dating in a major city, dating app culture and the hidden blessings of being single. Chatting about the magic and comedy of love is completely on brand for her, which is why I was so excited to have the opportunity to sit down with her. Be sure to check out her social media channels, podcast, graphic design business and patreon! I had a lot of fun with this one. Hope you enjoy!

  • Re: Being Black in America and What We Need to Do Differently

    Sigh... here we go again. Here are my thoughts on the senseless murder of George Floyd, the current state of affairs in America, and why we need to look towards new solutions based on the private conversations we have on social issues. #BlackLivesMatter.

  • Building Identity Capital

  • Imposter Syndrome (with Meghan O'Neil)

    In today’s episode I brought on my good friend, Meghan O’Neil to talk about Imposter Syndrome, something I’ve noticed many recent grads talking about feeling during their transition into the adulting life. I thought it would be good to bring Meghan on to chat about this because she performed research on Imposter Syndrome for her dissertation at the University of Oxford in the UK. We both share our experiences with the topic as well as what Meghan found in her research to help combat it. Such an interesting episode and Meghan is always someone I enjoy learning from. Hope you enjoy!

  • The Post-Grad Draft: Choosing Your Teammates (with Adam Sherif)

    Today’s episode is with my good friend from college, Adam Sherif - As we approach our one year since graduation, we reflect on the past year and what we decided to prioritize during this period in our lives. In our discussion, we both had a commonality of reassessing our friendships and realizing the importance of the Post-Grad Draft - deciding who we want on our team as a support system during the transition from college into the real world. Adam is always someone I can learn from so I hope he can provide the same to you, it's such a good episode! Enjoy and have a nice week everyone!

  • Positivity and Self Control (with Christina O'Connor)

    Today’s episode is all about how we can use positivity to drive healthy self control. Like Taylor Swift says in her song 22, the side effects of being twenty-something-year-old include being happy, free, confused and lonely at the same time. It's miserable and magical OH YEAH! Knowing this, I wanted to talk a bit about how we can use happiness and our freedom to make good choices that help bring us towards being the best version of ourselves. To help me out with this, I brought on my friend Christina O’Connor, the CEO of sunshine, to talk about the ways she’s learned to do this in college, and how she continues to apply it.

  • The Pressures of Productivity

    Hi friends! In today's episode, I talk about increased pressures to be productive and creative during quarantine-time. I share some of my experiences with this pressure, as well as what we need to remind ourselves of - give yourself a break! We are all doing the best we can with current circumstances. Even though social media makes this harder to do, try not to compare how you are spending this time with others.
