Twenty-third Episode released on 11/15/2019. This is coming on the heels of my first guest episode with Tyler Garza. I decided to take some of the themes that stood out in that guest episode and continue with it on this one with the 3 topics. If you ever feel depressed, just know that it is okay, and there are ways to get through it. I'm super stoked with finally getting the first guest episode done, and it's done well in comparison to the other episodes. I thought the length of the episode would be a factor in people listening but looks like y'all loved the guest thing. More to come.  Still thrilled to be bringing you more content and I appreciate any and all feedback. Continuing to use my voice to spread growth to the world in my own way. 

Today's episode touches on the following topics: 

1. Give yourself interventions 

2. Communicate with people who care about you when you feel depressed, don't exclude yourself from the world

3. Seek professional help if your friends/fam/support system isn't cutting it 

Feel free to leave any feedback as it is much appreciated. Thank you and I'll catch you later.

Twenty-second Episode released on 11/08/2019. FIRST GUEST EPISODE featuring my guy, Tyler Garza, whom I met in high school and become close friends with at the University of Oregon and still rocking. Felt really honored to have Tyler be my first podcast guest. This episode is lengthy, clocking in at approximately 30 minutes but it has some great content packed inside. I sit down with Tyler and cover where he’s at in life and ask him some interesting questions and we have some good back n forths. I think there’s several things to takeaway during our conversation on this pod. Hopefully y’all grow from this, I know I did! More guest episodes to follow, let me know who y’all wanna hear from. And if you can’t listen the full 30 minutes that’s fine, but if there’s one thing Tyler Garza would want to leave you with, it’s PLAY THE LONG GAME. Still thrilled to be bringing you more content and I appreciate any and all feedback. Continuing to use my voice to spread growth to the world in my own way.  

Today's episode touches on the following: A guest sit down with Tyler Garza (IG: @T__Garza)

Twenty-first Episode released on 10/28/2019. It's been minute since I've released an episode for the podcast. For that I am feeling guilty, but I've been trying to put together guests coming on the podcast and really hit some roadblocks as far as recording content. This episode exactly covers all of that and what I've been going through. Life is a complicated beautiful mess isn't it? I hope y'all are feeling these fall vibes I've been getting. The colors of the leaves, the tinge of the burnt orange sunlight, the crisp air, it's all shaping up to really be a great fall here in the PNW. While it's been nice out, I've been making excuses and letting things slide. Don't slip up like I have, keep on growing, I urge you. I'm okay with where the podcast is at still though and don't feel like the gap was too terribly long. Let's get back on track! Still thrilled to be bringing you more content and I appreciate any and all feedback. Continuing to use my voice to spread growth to the world in my own way.

Celebrated a close friends birthday and went to an Oktoberfest event in this area. Still pushing it out on a Monday to start the week anew.
