the for us podcast

as a new school year begins, its important to reflect on your goals for the coming months ahead. i like to set a theme/intention for each school year, and this year, my theme is the idea of focus. focus when it comes to discipline and studying, focus when it comes to recognizing what is truly important in high school life, and really seeing things in a big-picture perspective. i'm honestly pretty excited for what sophomore year has to offer, so let's see where it goes!

celebrating the small wins, whether in the general journey of life or in reaching for a particular goal, is one of the most motivating things you can do. appreciating the work that you put into a particular goal, or to life in general, is really what it boils down to. these small milestones also serve as understanding for harder times, and help us to recognize that our journeys are made of hills and valleys, and that determination and perseverance will help us get to the next milestone.

we all have this point where our routines/ practices start to feel boring, or we're not getting as much value from them as we used to. that feeling is the first sign that its time to ignite a "controlled burn" in your life, meaning its time to change, rethink and shake up your routine. and just like in a forest, a controlled burn leaves the ecosystem with more abundance and growth, so working to change your practices for the better will pay off.

have an amazing week!!

in today's episode, i talk about patience (kinda). as a fairly impatient person, patience has always seemed so foreign to me. but when i thought about patience in the same way through which i think about achieving a goal, it became more clear to me how to cultivate it. listen to the episode to learn more!!

have a fantastic week!

happy sunday!! today i revisit the topic of boundaries, why we're so scared of them, my experience with boundaries, and what we can do to make them just a little bit easier. i also talk about some common feelings around setting boundaries, like guilt, and some ways to change the way we think about them.

have a great week!

these five actions are some of my fav ways to facilitate deep inner conversations, whether its to understand more about myself as part of a learning journey, or its to clear up the root of some problem. these particular actions are also just regular old acts of self-care, but approaching them (or any other activity, for that matter) with the intention of digging deeper into yourself will spark your inner growth more than ever before.

happy sunday!

happy 100th epi!! thanks for all your love and support these past two years <3

today's episode is my thoughts on overcoming "setbacks" (you gotta listen to know why its in quotes) and more generally about goals and working towards them. regardless of what the goal you have is, setbacks will always manifest, but its about how we react, respond, and grow from them that truly matters.

its been two years since my 12 y/o self decided to sit down with a microphone and introduce herself to the world- how time flies. over these past two years, and this past year of podcasting in particular, i've learned a lot of lessons, lessons which i share in every episode. today, i go through some of my biggest lessons this year and what they mean to me and how they've shaped the way i view myself, the world, and how i carry myself through it. these are all things i've shared in episodes throughout the year, so consider it a season summary i guess :)

honestly, this podcast means so much to me. its helped me to process my life experiences, take away important lessons from them, and most importantly: grow. on this two-year podcastiversry, i was reminded why i started, and that's because this podcast is not just for you, not just for me, but for us. (hehe get the joke? ;) ) okay, i'll stop with the puns now... but happy two years!!

love,

nandini
