ok so this episode is NOT about romance in any way, shape, or form.... its about actual chemistry. like, the class. and my experience in it, and the hard lessons that this class has taught me outside of the textbook. but i promise its still just as juicy (ok maybe not) as the book!

this is kinda on par with last weeks episode, but more in detail with what i've been working on in my personal journey!

today's episode is inspired by brene brown's book "the gifts of imperfection."

physical health is important, but exercise is more than just that. it has subconscious effects on the rest of our lives, reinforcing mentalities and habits that can make us stronger in many ways. so regardless if you do yoga, dance, go to the gym, run, etc., exercise is more than just that.

was i feeling motivated to record an episode on a random friday night? yes. is this episode also about motivation? also yes.

over the past few weeks, i've struggled with insecurity and comparison to a degree at which i haven't seen myself struggle before. so in today's episode i reflect on how i've dealt with comparison in the past and what i can do now to set myself up back on the path of growth. i hope that this episode provides some support to anyone struggling with this issue as well.

all relationships in life, whether they be platonic, romantic or family relationships, can be difficult at times. but there's no one size fits all answer on how to navigate complicated relationships. in my experience, centering myself, evaluating my priorities in the relationship and reflecting on my closeness with the other person has helped me to understand what my next best step will be.

today i talk about, well, independence, and the ins and outs that come with new responsibilities, especially as a teen.

(p.s. i'm using a new podcast recording platform and i have no idea how to use it, so hopefully this episode come out normally! if not, please lmk!)
