  • The Trying Times of Social Media (Episode 16)

    Since the last episode, I got to thinking about how social media has impacted the way we socialize and even acts as a buffer sometimes so that we don't have to interact with someone irl. So this one's all about that and my recounting of how new age interactive media took over when I was growing up.


    Hope you enjoy!

  • That Time I Wasn't Productive (Episode 10)

    Ever have someone tell you that you NEED to do something differently to be more productive, or to be better? Well, this one is a backhand at that. In this episode, I talk about what society deems as productive, burn out, learning about what is productive for you and creativity as an outlet vs creativity as a career -PLUS more.

    Hope you enjoy!

  • That Time I Found Myself (Episode 8)

    It's not like I got lost as I was going somewhere, but this one's about finding your people and how that can become a little easier to do when you are fully in tact with yourself. So I talk a lot about hobbies, variables and expectations. 

    Hope you enjoy :)

  • That Time I Was Homesick (Episode 7)

    Homesickness is something we all deal with at some point or another. I've never really had this in depth of a conversation with anyone about how it can be this very heavy thing that feels like the end of the world sometimes? So this conversation focuses a little more on that and ways that we can help ourselves if we ever find ourselves in that position. 

    Hope you enjoy :)
