The Slow Down Method

This week I talk about jealousy...and my caffeine addiction. I think you and I can definitely get stuck in the jealousy trap. Whether that's due to comparison, frustration, envy, or insecurity, we all sort of struggle with jealousy at least once in our lives. Today's episode is where I admit some of my shortcomings and reflect that when I've been jealous, it might've been because of something deeper in me than the other person.

Hello everyone, I have great news! I was invited to join my alma mater's Facebook group. Honestly, it's a bit funny to be invited to a group like that, not because I shouldn't be, but because it has been such a far-off memory for me. It's also funny because, to be honest, I haven't thought about a lot of those people. Not because I don't care, but also because I don't care. Maybe you understand, or maybe you don't. Why not join me this week to see what I'm talking about?

Is it just me, or does it feel like stress is creeping up on us? I know back-to-school is right around the corner, and everyone will probably be affected by it. How do you handle this back-to-school stress or any other stress? Join me this week as I handle my stress and how stress is only an emotion, not the truth we have to live with.

Vans Warped Tour Long Beach just ended this past weekend, which means Vans Warped Tour Orlando is the last one for this year! Let's talk Warped Tour and how it impacted my life. I talk a little bit about my transition from jamming out to VeggieTales to fan girling about Chiodos, Broadside, and so many more bands. I hope you enjoy this episode!

We've all had some name given to us, and I'm not just talking about our government name, but I mean nicknames. Sometimes those nicknames can be good and reaffirming to us, and other times they can knock us down.

This week, I want to talk to you about my journey with my nicknames and struggles with identity. I'm excited to share my heart and perspective with this one! What nickname do you have?

Today we talk about you! I have heard many people who want to start a podcast, a business, or have a YouTube channel, but when push comes to shove, they don't take action. This is your sign to start creating! Don't let yourself get in the way of you! Join me this week, where we talk about how being creative is exactly what you need to be doing!

This week, we are talking about alignment. What do you think about when you hear the word "alignment"? I think about an orthodontist or a chiropractor. Join me this week as I talk about alignment in my life and how we can use our past to affect our future through aligning it correctly.

I don't know if I ever mentioned this, but I have white parents. No, it's not because they stole me from a country in Asia; they adopted me when I was little. This week, I want to talk about a little piece of that and how it has challenged me to grow in my life and hopefully challenge you in yours.

This week, it was my birthday! What a crazy year it's been, but what a great year to grow too. This week, I talk about my birthday, how last year was great, and that this year will be even better. I'm excited to share this episode and share my (belated) birthday!

Mel Robbins wrote a book called "The Let Them Theory". It's a theory that many people have been talking about recently. However, I think a lot of people are only hearing half of the theory. Yes, at the end of the day, people are going to choose what they want to do, but you have the same opportunity to do the same. This week, I focus on how we can apply this theory in our own lives instead of worrying about trying what other people are doing.
