As I'm growing into my most authentic self, I'm learning to be more honest with who I really am and what I want. This is who I've always been, it was a just a matter of when I wanted to be honest with myself. I hope this episode inspires those who are struggling to come out since I never had anyone tell me that it's okay. It's okay to simply exist as you are and be proud of it.

not really sure what I want to do either. but we're never really lost if we don't know where we're going.

We're so overstimulated that we become desensitized to the world around us. We become so numb that we lose focus on what's really important. I've spent a year trying to rediscover my creativity, immersing myself in art galleries to feel inspired, attempting to read books without curiosity, and surrounding myself in nature to reconnect. I've realized that the best way to find your focus and tap into your creativity is to allow yourself to disengage. Do things that don't take that much brain power like going for walks with your favorite playlist, cloud watching, or singing your favorite song on blast by yourself. Doing things like these heals my inner-child.

when you grow mentally, emotionally, spiritually you glow from the inside out.

To truly do what I want, I have to be honest with myself and come into terms that it's okay to feel lost. If we can't find a path, we create a new one. It starts with knowing what I want and recognizing my patterns. I tend to go back and think of things that are familiar, whether it's emotions or a memory. We often get even more lost when we go back to what's familiar, because we're afraid of the unknown, of the possibilities. In this episode you'll listen to me, being honest with myself, hoping It'll inspire you to be honest with yourself.

When I don't feel like myself I isolate myself in nature and listen to her. I ask for guidance and breathe, slowly and deeply. I sit and recognize the things that trigger my anxiety, now I'm trying to avoid those things. It's about recognizing and realizing the things that shake you and learning to sit with stillness and slow your breaths.

No one really talks about how hard it can be to create new friendships as adults because we're either at work or at home and anytime you meet friends is usually at nightclubs or bars, but that's really my scene. In this episode, I talk about how vital friendships are to your growth and how my new friendships have gotten me to open up more.

Foe me, it's the mentality of prioritizing others before my own.

it's fall!!!!
