the for us podcast

In today's episode, I talk about how life is ever-changing, and how it comes in seasons (not the four seasons, but like phases or chapters of our lives). These seasons of life are all so different, some are chill and just all positive vibes, while others are when we have to learn hard lessons. But we can get through all of the seasons in life, and most importantly, learn something from each of them. We aren't in control of the seasons of our lives, for the most part, but we are in control of our attitude towards them and how we deal with them. 

Remember to practice some self-care this week!

First of all, let me just say that this episode is so special to me. Having my teachers on this podcast is something I never would have thought I would ever do, but here we are! This conversation is full of amazing thoughts and tips that my teachers share on school life, studying, and overall life lessons that every student needs. While we did run into some technical problems along the way, as I explain, this episode is probably one of my favorites, and I am so thankful to all of my teachers for doing this with me, and for all the wonderful things they share in this episode. Enjoy the episode! :)

In today's episode, I reflect on my middle school experience and talk about my top 10 lessons that I've learned from my middle school experience. I also share some of my thoughts/goals on high school, and how that relates to my middle school lessons. I hope this helps you if you are in/going into middle school, and remember that every moment matters! :)

Happy one year!!! It's been one year since I uploaded the very first episode of this podcast, and in honor of that, I made today's episode a re-intro to me, where I'm at in self-care, and my life since that first episode. This episode is entirely me being awkward, quirky, and deep all at the same time, sharing my thoughts about high school, my personal growth, and other random things about me. It's safe to say that I've grown a lot since the first episode, including in my podcasting skills, and I'm excited to see where else we're going to go with this. Thank you all for the love and support for this podcast, and for helping me reach 1K! Love you all <3

In today's episode, I talk about how we are not in control of every part of our lives, and how we need to learn to accept that everything we plan out may not go as planned. This goes back to staying present and dealing with current challenges, and accepting current blessings in life. Having our routines and our non-negotiable practices is important, but we can't let routine and planning take over our entire life. We have to learn to adapt to new changes, and stay grounded. It's a perfect balance. :)

Happy Mothers Day! In today's episode, I talk about toxic positivity and the differences between true positivity and toxic positivity. I also talk about how toxic positivity and extreme negativity are two extremes of a spectrum, and how we want to create a balance between all of our emotions and validate all of our emotions and experiences. This is a fun episode, so hang on and enjoy the journey!

In today's episode, I share my thoughts and experiences with projection, and how I personally have dealt with it. I also share tips on how to recognize and deal with projection, whether you are projecting onto others or vice versa. In this episode, I also tie projection with validation and how self-validation helps to stop projection.

In today's short-but-sweet episode, I talk about why consistency is so important. In selfcare and every other aspect of life, staying consistent in daily, weekly, or monthly practices is so important in sustaining our growth and keeping us grounded. Even when we feel so unmotivated, when we're having a bad day, and when life is down, our practices ground us, and practicing them consistently will keep us grounded and help us in the present and in the long run.

In today’s episode, I talk about accountability and how it affects our relationships, personal growth, and social life. Accountability is a complicated thing, but when we learn to integrate it into our lives, we become better people in the long run.

In today's episode, I talk about self talk and how negative self talk is holding us back from growth. I also talk about how our self talk projects onto others, and how self talk and inner thoughts have a huge impact on how we deal with others. Lastly, I share tips on how we can encourage positive self talk to replace negative self talk.
