Trying To Figure It Out

This week, I welcome my first guest to the podcast, Jordyn Jones. Jordyn grew up in the spotlight as an elite dancer. Now at 22, she is a music artist, podcast host, and influencer, with over ten million followers on TikTok. Jordyn shares what it was like growing up in Michigan and balancing the pull of Los Angeles with the opportunities it has to offer. From a young age, Jordyn knew that she would never be interested in drinking alcohol; we discuss the trauma that reinforced her decision to abstain from drinking and how she navigates life in a city that relies so heavily on partying. The episode concludes with Al P's Three - an ode to Juice WRLD and our top songs by one of our favorite artists.

Welcome to Trying To Figure It Out. If there's anything all of us can relate to it's that life can be messy and I know I have my fair share of stories to tell from toxic friendships, relationships, mental health and more. I'm still fucking up, I'm still a shit show 90% of the time, but all I can say is that every day I am trying to figure it out and I want to invite you all on that journey with me.

In this episode, I take you back to where it all began...my parents divorce--and how they forgot to tell me that it happened. Oh and don't worry, you'll also hear about my run-in with Swae Lee, my obsession with Miley Cyrus' brother, and my hot takes on Hamilton. I wrap up with the first installment of Al P's Three, a running playlist of three songs that relate to each podcast episode.

Everyone, relax. Trying To Figure It Out is back with a solo episode, breaking down everything I do to mitigate symptoms while suffering a panic attack.

It's Panic Attack 101 with your host, Ally Petitti, and as you'll hear in this episode, I am exactly the right person to help you through. I explain my first panic attack, and how I've been on a roller coaster dealing with symptoms and panic since. I'm also here with the advice, and break down all the things that have helped me along my journey in dealing with panic disorder. Hope this can help you too! And remember, I'm obviously not a doctor, but this is what helped ME! Love you, Ally.
