This week has been a difficult one for me, as I’m sure it was for many of you. I went through 10 stages of grief, and I’m still crashing out as I type this.   I have received so many comments and DMs asking for guidance on what you should do if a person in your life has voted differently than you in this presidential election. I wish I had an easier answer for you, but I hope today’s episode gives you some clarity. The answer to your question about someone is in their actions. When people...

I was taught that keeping quiet kept the peace until I realized whose peace is it keeping? After voicing my opinion in a video last week, I received a few comments that read, "I used to like you, but now I need to unfollow." My first reaction was to laugh it off, but as I sat with it, I felt as if I did something wrong. I knew I stood behind what I said in that video, I was proud of myself for voicing how I felt, but I still felt as if I made a mistake by posting it because it upset a few...

It's much easier to point out when someone else makes a mistake or is acting out of character than it is to check yourself. In today's episode, I talk about holding ourselves accountable and checking ourselves when we're not being the best that we can be. It's important to take a step back and look at how we're behaving and how we're treating others. It's not enough to talk about how good of a person you are; you also need to show up as her. Actions speak louder than words. Trying Not to...

If you can’t stop overthinking, listen to this episode.  Last week I went on my first brand trip, and it was INCREDIBLE. The days leading up to the trip, I was so nervous and was thinking about every possible thing that could go wrong. It got to a point where I almost backed out of the trip because I was overthinking and SPIRALING. Thankfully, I pulled it together and forced myself to go, and I’m so glad I did because it was a huge reminder that OUR THOUGHTS AREN’T ALWAYS CORRECT. Just...

It can be tempting to make your life seem much more luxurious and interesting than it actually is. We think if we post videos at a cool party or photos of us in an expensive car, it will wow others and make them envy our lives. But what is more important? People thinking our lives are so cool, or us actually enjoying our lives? Instead of focusing so much on trying to curate this perfect image of what our life is supposed to look like, let's focus on trying to make our life something worth...

At the end of 2021, while I was working at my old job, I was struggling with my mental health, personal issues, and paying bills. I felt so lost in life and was so unhappy with my situation.  Up until this point, I made excuses for why I couldn’t leave my job and pursue posting on social media full time. Excuses like, “What if I don’t make money? What if I can’t pay my bills? What if I embarrass myself? What if it doesn’t work out?” In December of 2021, it finally hit me that I didn’t...

LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE IF YOU ARE CONSTANTLY WORRYING ABOUT WHAT OTHERS THINK OF YOU. Being a successful content creator has always been a dream of mine, but I didn't start pursuing that dream until a couple years ago. The reason it took me 10+ years to start posting online is because I was afraid of others thinking I was cringey and making fun of me. I look back on those years with regret, but I missed out on something that was super important to me all because of others and their perception...

TW - This episode talks about sensitive topics such as body image, weight and disordered eating.
