Today we have a special guest, Meghan, on the podcast! Meghan and I have been friends for 3 years and while we differ in personality, we struggle in the same exact ways. Which is why I knew I had to get her on the podcast!

Listen in to hear how Meghan inspired me to start my podcast and as we discuss all things being Enneagram 1w9s, perfectionism and how it shows up in our lives, all-or-nothing thinking and why it's harmful, and our advice for those struggling with either. If you're struggling with being a perfectionist, black and white thinking, or needing to be right vs wrong, this episode is for you!

Listen in as I share what it was like working through the hate and attacks I got, why I still posted the video even though I knew I would get *some* backlash, and 4 things I learned from this overall experience.

Welcome to our new segment...Therapy Talk! Therapy Talk episodes allow me to talk about 3-4 different topics that are too long for Instagram, but too short too warrant their own podcast episode (at least for right now). I talk about things I've discussed heavily in therapy, or had realizations of while journaling, talking to friends, or just living. There's something here for everyone.

In this Therapy Talk, I cover:

Consider this our own little 20-minute therapy session...starting now!

Do you feel like you can trust yourself? Maybe your answer is yes—either because it comes naturally or you've worked on it. That's awesome. But I think for many of us, myself very much included, we struggle to trust our gut and have confidence in ourselves. It can be difficult to do so when society and people tell us how we should live rather than us figuring it out for ourselves, when you never learned how, or if you've lost touch with yourself.

So, in this episode, I'm here to tell you that you CAN in fact trust your gut and have confidence in you. I also share my journey processing all of this as well as 7 practical tips that you can use to start building confidence in you and learning to trust your gut. You are worth listening to.
