The victim mentality is toxic. There, I said it. It is a social epidemic that has plagued our society. I know this because I've experienced it.
For years, I defined myself as the victim. Life threw things at me, and everything was out of my control. I would blame others for my pain while completely neglecting the fact that I never truly dealt with the trauma in my life that was causing this mindset.
I am here to talk about how breaking free from this dangerous mindset is liberating and how it has the ability to change your perspective of the world in the best way possible.
Today, I am joined with Kelsey Henricks. In this week's episode, Kelsey takes us through her life story and the many obstacles she has had to overcome. From growing up in the foster care system, navigating the challenges of high school, and moving all the way across the country to find herself, we are hitting it all!
I think that many people can relate to parts of Kelsey's story and the struggles she has faced within her lifetime. It was such a pleasure to sit down with her and listen to all she had to say. Enjoy this week's extra long episode!

We love our comfort zone. We feel safe and secure. It's good to have this little safe haven, but what happens when we refuse to leave it?
I will be the first to say that I don't like being uncomfortable and because of that, I will minimize the chance of this happening as much as possible. But this causes me to miss out on new experiences, meet new people, and discover new things about myself.
In today's episode, we discuss why and how we can leave our comfort zone in order to grow into the version of ourselves that we desire.
Hello friends!
Let's talk about self-doubt. This is something we have all faced in our lives at one point or another. But I don't think we realize the immense impact it can have on our lives if this becomes a daily thing.
I want to break down why we have self-doubt and the real , negative effects it has on our lives.

We live in a world where disagreement often turns aggressive. We can easily make character assumptions, harbor anger, or completely write a person off when they don't agree with an opinion we hold.
But I think we are missing a major piece to this puzzle with the fact that disagreement can actually be a great & beautiful thing. We live in a world with billions of people, each of whom are unique. We aren't going to agree on everything, but it's important to learn why this isn't inherently a bad thing.
Today, I discuss the good that can come from disagreement & how it can actually foster healthy relationships.

Technically, I've been "in recovery" from my eating disorder for about 2 1/2 years at this point.
We always hear that phrase, "in recovery." Maybe you've heard it in reference to ex-alcoholics, no matter how long they've been sober. Or maybe ex-addicts, even though they have been drug free for decades. Both medical & mental health professionals alike have come to this consensus- you will always be in recovery, not recovered, no matter how long ago your last relapse was.
I am here to say why this is not true & why & how full recovery is possible. While that definition may vary from person to person, the idea still exists. Whether you have anxiety, depression, a form of addiction, or any other demon in your life, you are able to rid yourself of them for good. Being "in recovery" does not have to be your destiny.

I think the one thing that all of society can actually agree on is the fact that weight is always a touchy subject. It's just not something you talk about with others unless they are apart of your close friends or family. Even then you can be treading rocky waters.
I had an encounter at the gym with an individual who did just this. And man, it's like he knew just where to hit me. In full transparency, this hurt me more than I wished it had. He confirmed every thought I had in my mind in regards to my body image, and because of this, my insecurities were solidified.
I want to talk about why it is not appropriate to comment/talk about other people's weight & bodies. Coming from someone who suffered with a sever eating disorder in college, I feel like I have a lot of insight into this area. I also want to talk about something even more important and something I wish I had put into practice sooner- the important of healthy coping mechanisms & forgiveness.
Hope that everyone has a fantastic week. I will see you guys soon for a brand new episode <3

New years is stressful. Many of us adopt this toxic "new year, new me" mentality that forces us into this sort of all or nothing mindset that can actually hinder your progress towards your goals much more than help it.
For me, January 1st was spent quarantining, meaning I had to put a lot of my goals on the back burner. I felt like I was off track before 2022 even hit.
Maybe you're in the same position. New Years day was almost two weeks ago & you have done nothing to chase after this year's goals. This is your remind that it's OKAY. We still have a whole year left ahead of us.
Today's episode I am talking about how to get back on track when you have fallen off your routine & how to maintain a positive perspective going into this year.
Guys, I''m stressed. I feel like my world is caving in on me, and I have too much to do and not enough hours in the day. But am I going to go crawl into a ball and cry and not do anything about it? NO, because that is not how we are meant to handle stress.
It's easy to resort to unhealthy methods of dealing w/ stress, but it's important to realize that those "quick fixes" are just that- non-permanent solutions to an issue that will never go away until you learn to face it.
In today's episode, I am giving some tips and tricks on how to deal with your stress in not just healthy ways but ways that will actually eliminate those stressors in your everyday life.
Friends sure do make the world go 'round. But are the friendships that you are investing in helping or hindering your growth? It can be hard to determine whether or not a certain relationship is worth the time so let me help you out with that one.
Today, I am going through my "Six Green Flags" that you should have in every, single friendship (aka, if you have a friendship that is missing one of these, might be time to either cut ties or not let them take up so much space in your life).
