Thank you Suzanne, for giving us Peeta Mellark. The Hunger Games has been my favorite trilogy since I first picked it up at age 12. I decided to pay homage to it through a mini video series. I hope you enjoy and may the odds be ever in your favor :)

Thank you Susanne for giving us young, hot sexy president snow.

The sun is setting at 5pm now and, if my calculations are correct, that means we are all beginning to feel the beginnings of seasonal depression. I know I am. After a particularly challenging depressive episode, I decided to sit down and talk about everything I did to pull myself out of it. In this episode, I talk all about how depression shows up for me and how I have been able to heal myself from it. If you or someone you know is struggling, know that you are not alone. Please do not hesitate to reach out for help. Resources are listed down below.

After various requests to cover my Mormon upbringing, I felt the best way to do so would be by discussing the purity culture I grew up in. Purity culture is not just present in religion, it is everywhere. All of us are brought up with specific standards, relative to our specific upbringings. In this episode, I dive into what those standards looked like for me growing up, how they affected me, and how I have been able to re-program some of these belief systems.

Trigger warning: this episode includes descriptions of religious trauma as well as s*xual harassment.

In this episode I cover everything platonic. The good, the bad, and the ugly. In this day in age, more and more people are reporting having less and less friends. Our 20s seem to be the time where we make and lose the most friends often deeming this decade as a friendship recession. If you find yourself questioning whether or not your social circles serve you or wanting to make new friends, this is the episode for you. In this episode I dive into exercises, practices, and tips that aid in evaluating your current friendships, making new ones, and becoming your own bestie. Enjoy :)

In today's episode I decided to discuss my mental health, specifically my lifetime battle with anxiety. Anxiety has affected almost every aspect of my life for as long as I can remember. It used to rule my life completely until I decided I simply could not live that way anymore. In this episode, I dive into the ways I was able to receive help, and how I helped myself cope with my anxiety.  I must issue a trigger warning. In this episode I talk in detail about the physical and mental symptoms of anxiety and depression, as well as how trauma can lead to or worsen these issues. If these subjects are sensitive for you, I advise you to skip this one. If not, put on your pjs, grab a snack, grab a journal, and listen up and enjoy!

Today, I woke up disgustingly hungover so, naturally, I decided to talk about drinking for this episode. I have always struggled a lot with social anxiety and partying. My body just seems unable to metabolize alcohol like everyone else. It was not until very recently I realized I was drinking to cope with uncomfortable social situations. If you relate this then... this episode is for you. I share tips and trick to help the drinks go down a little more smoothly: from timing your drinking and socializing with your moon cycle to implementing rituals and practices to help ease your evening and morning. Enjoy.
