  • WFYC: ep. 16 making new friends in your 20's

    Welcome back to another episode of the What Fills Your Cup Podcast!In today’s episode we will discuss making new friends in your 20's! Your 20's can be a difficult time to navigate, as we are all growing, learning maturing and discovering what our likes and dislikes are. Through these experiences, it is so important to have people you love and care about- as well as able to confide in as we continue to grow into ourselves. The power of community, friendship, having a good support system is all a part of the human experience, and what a beautiful thing that is! Learning how to make new friends, I talk about how I am pushing myself out of my comfort zone, navigating my 20's with the support system I have around me, as well as discussing some vulnerable times the past few months. Sit back, relax, listen and let me know what you think of this weeks chat.

  • WFYC: ep. 15 navigating life in your mid 20's

    Welcome back to another episode of the What Fills Your Cup Podcast!In today’s episode we will discuss how navigating life in your 20's looks different to everyone. Feeling behind? Not knowing what to do or where to go once you're finished school? Comparing your life to others you see online? Feeling rushed? These are all very common emonios many of us feel in our mid twenties, during a time where we are still learning about ourselves. What we like, what we don't, our interests, passions and hobbies- it all is a part of growing each day. In this conversation your host reminds you all that there is no reason to rush life, to slow down, enjoy being young, and try not to put so much pressure on yourself to have it all figured out. Discovering what your dreams are, and what your personal goals are that you want to accomplish in this lifetime is going to be completely different than what other people around you want to achieve- so what's the point of worrying if you're "behind"? I hope this episode is a reminder for you all that everyone's life paths look different, to soak up the now, enjoy the present, and to chase whatever goal or dream you may have. Life is short, no need to rush the journey!Don't forget to subscribe to the What Fills You Cup YouTube channel, follow on Spotify or Apple Music and share with your friends!
