  • 29 Years Later...

    Yeah. I turned 29. Damn.


    But in all seriousness, what's the saying? Another year older, another year wiser? I feel like I've learned a lot throughout my twenties so far, and I share a lot about that in this episode.


    Hope you enjoy :)

  • Summer Bucket Lists + Influences

    Okay so is 'bucket list' a term that anyone really uses anymore? It was this huge phenomenon but now it seems like its tapered. This episode is all about bucket lists, and some indirect pressures we may place on ourselves to live our best lives in the short summer months.


    Hope you enjoy :)

  • Mental Health Awareness Month + Finding Balance

    Since May is known the most for being Mental Health Awareness Month, I really wanted to take some time out to talk about this and the different ways that some of us may feel about it in our own lives and how we cope.

  • Relationships with Food

    All relationships can come with their own unique issues. One that is sometimes overlooked is the one we might have with food. This episode is a bit about that, some of the hurdles that may come with it and the connotations we may carry within this.
