Before getting into the nitty gritty of a taboo topic, I catch up on the current chaos of my life, which gets interrupted by a broken Body Armour fridge. Then I discuss everything an inexperienced me can talk about when it comes to sex: the first time having sex, the mental & emotional aspects of the physical intimacy of sex, and orgasming as a virgin. To top it off, I finally learn the correct way to say Rupi Kaur's last name.

The American education system needs a massive upgrade.

The first part of this episode is simply my backstory, starting with growing up in the church, and why I believe in God. After a discussion on loneliness and beginning the journey of contentment with being alone, I share my stance on various topics regarding Christianity, including homosexuality, tattoos, and politics.

Stand with the women of Iran!!!

After discussing the sorrow and grief that consumed me in August, I talk about three things that involve establishing your core: friend ghosting (and all the funny stories), the struggle with new friends (and negativity some of them bring), and why I have the best core.

Lifelong friendships don't happen overnight; take your time.

After conquering technical difficulties, I sit down with my friend Reeve to talk about all the things, including Facebook & the comfort with being one's self, the emotional process of a heartbreak (especially a friend heartbreak), and mental health. This will have you smiling from ear to ear by the end of it and have you wishing you were friends with Reeve too.

Be kind to yourself; self-worth is a rollercoaster journey.

To my little warriors, my love bugs, my champions of the womb (hahahaha).

At the wonderful wise age of 23, I wanted to share some advice for life as you conquer the world you're born into. It's not going to be easy, but as your mom, I am right by your side and here to help you fight, with love and kindness.

After catching up on life and sharing a day of pure clumsiness, I discuss the love/hate relationship with my body, exercising, and the mental-physical relationship; the way I view my body and my decisions regarding my physical well-being are based on my mental. This episode seems to have more of everything: anecdotes, tangents, and saliva.

Accept that there's never 100% body love 100% of the time.

TRIGGER WARNING: this episode includes topics of rape, abortion, and sex trafficking.

During a thunderstorm, I discuss freedom, human rights, and everything involving the effed up regression of America. I am worried, angry, and tired-- tired of waking up and not knowing what other rights of mine will be taken away, let alone the limitations of equal treatment because of the color of my skin. I have a platform to rant and use my voice, and it's about dang time I used it.

We. Cannot. Stop. Fighting.

This episode is all about the battle between Miss Independent & Hopeless Romantic when it comes to wanting a true love relationship, a life partner. Topics include: insecurities, third-wheeling, & the mental warzone. However, before we get into all of that, I discuss a few other things: Roe v. Wade being overturned, my trip to Northern California, being stuck in an airport, etc.

Men do not get a say in what women do with their bodies; this should not be a political debate.

The title says it all. While discussing the four topics in the title, I also: expose my financial situation, throw a little bit of shade without shame, talk about my recent food cravings, share my thoughts on the impossible burger from Burger King, and talk about things I did to go the extra mile for people who would not do the same for me.

That's just the beginning.

In the event of convenient timing, this is being published right after I got pushed out the door at my job and transferred to a new location. A majority of this episode is spent sharing five standards that make someone a leader, all of which overlap; of course, communication is one of them. Plus, this episode is me saying a tearful goodbye (yes, I cry at the end) and saying everything I somehow managed to hold in on my last day. Since it's been a minute, I also give my thoughts on Jack Harlow's new album (spoiler alert: it isn't pretty).
