Being kind doesn’t make you a pushover...being kind without boundaries does. 😐 In this episode, I talk about the difference between having a good heart and abandoning yourself to keep everyone else comfortable.

I also break down 5 practical ways to be kind without being a pushover:
1. Being kind without needing to sacrifice your boundaries
2. Give because you want to, not because you feel obligated to
3. Be soft in tone but firm in substance
4. Be interested without becoming responsible
5. Match effort instead of constantly compensating for other people

I’M MARRIED!!! 💍🤍 After almost 10 years together, Josh and I finally got married! As excited as I am for this new season of life, before I come back from our honeymoon, I wanted to take a step back and talk about our relationship and what I’ve learned from being in unhealthy relationships before Josh. I’m sharing the biggest differences I’ve noticed between the relationships that made me question myself and the kind of love I have now...where I feel secure, supported, respected, and completely myself.

We’re talking about confusing chemistry with love, mistaking the bare minimum for effort, feeling like you have to earn someone’s love, and why the right relationship shouldn’t make you feel like you have to choose between yourself and the person you’re with.

Whether you’re single, dating, in a situationship, or happily in a relationship, I hope this episode gives you a little perspective on what love should actually feel like. 💕

As I step into a new chapter of my life, I’ve been thinking a lot about how much pressure I put on myself throughout my 20s to have everything figured out. In this episode, I’m talking about the anxiety that comes with feeling behind...whether it’s your career, money, relationships, or just not knowing what you’re doing with your life. I’m sharing some of the things I wish I understood earlier, like why changing your mind isn’t failure, why experiences aren’t a waste of time or money, and why you don’t need a 10-year plan at 22.

If you’ve been feeling behind or like you should have everything figured out by now, I hope this episode reminds you to stop feeling guilty for being exactly where you are.

4 years ago, I almost quit podcasting because I felt like I was wasting my time and no one was listening. Two weeks later, I had an idea to promote my podcast on TikTok, and that one video completely changed everything. I went from 200 listens per week to charting number 1 in podcasts on Spotify and Apple. 

In this episode, I’m taking you guys behind the scenes of how I went from working a job I didn’t love to quitting, becoming my own boss, starting Trying Not to Care, and eventually turning social media and podcasting into my full-time job. I’m talking about the mistakes I made, what I wish I knew sooner, how I started making money as a creator, and what actually helped me grow.

If you’ve ever thought about starting a podcast, growing on social media, or trying to turn something you love into a career, this episode is is filled with some advice that I wish someone had told me when I was starting out. 🎙️✨📸
