In this episode I talk about my thoughts on our experiences within society. It’s always felt as though there exists undertones of competition in what we share with others. I find this to be a struggle. Is it a reality or just my perspective? Let’s dive in.

I’m at my wits end these days with how society promotes self-hate and body image issues. Let’s venture into the inner workings of my thoughts as I pondered the root cause of our problems and just how blatantly obvious and apparent they’ve become, in my eyes at least. Food for thought.

A moment of self-awareness causes self-awakening. I explore my thoughts and feelings about my behaviours, what it has taught me and the ways in which it continues to do so. This a mid-journey episode and is a type of formal update without being written in the name.

I recalled a memory, an interaction I had with a patient that stuck with me over the years. In this episode I dive into that specific memory and shed some light on what it means with where I’m currently at in life. I also provide a bit of an update, though cryptic in nature. It felt good to get it out creatively I will say.

It’s interesting how inspiration for episodes pops up suddenly during everyday conversations in my life. This is one of those episodes. Stigma surrounding mental health that is anything less than ‘perfect’ holds a lot of weight and shame.

Perhaps it can help shed some perspective in your mind as to how you interact with the world in the future as a result.

It’s the new year! What does that even mean though? It means I’m exhausted with all this societal nonsense of feeling pressured to leave the old behind and pretend we can suddenly be different because of an arbitrary number on a calendar that was (let me remind you) created by a person. Let’s dive into my resolutions then, shall we?

I wouldn't be being honest if I skipped ahead now could I?

Let me fill you in with an update on what happened prior to the gap in episodes.

In this episode, I dive into feeling really tired, burned out and barely hanging in there. I explore a few topics in a superficial light to offer some insight as to what's been gnawing at me lately.

I skipped a few weeks here of content and figured I’d take the opportunity to apologize and let you know I haven’t given up!

In this episode I provide a re-cap of the less glamorous side of things things I learned about living on the road and full time travel. There are little things I hadn’t been aware of prior to, and I share in hopes of providing more insight and information on these aspects for those who might be considering a trip of their own!

I open up honestly about my current thoughts and feelings as I try to battle the emotional hangover of one chapter closing, and not being able to turn the pages to start the next. I begin working towards enacting self-compassion and kindness- which feels like the hardest thing in the world.
