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!)

the concept of freedom has been on my mind lately, and i wanted to share my interactions with this topic and how freedom has manifested in my life, as well as what i'm doing to work towards it each and every day. i hope that this inspires you to reflect on what freedom means in your own life.

ambition is an important driving force in life, but we don't stop to ask why we want what we want. asking why we want to succeed helps us gain clarity about ourselves and brings us just a little closer to living a more purposeful life. one small step we can take is simply asking "why?" more often, so i challenge you to ask yourself "why" you want something this week.

time is of the essence, and using it effectively is a problem that we've struggled with for centuries. i've found that by self-evaluating, staying conscious of my motivations and goals, and by tuning into my higher intelligence, i can use my time more effectively.
