Welcome to the new mini series! I'll be giving you bite-sized info you can use to help achieve your goals... personal or professional. This week I'm talking about the importance of examining what you consume... not only when it comes to actually consuming something (aka food!), but what content you're seeing on social media, what music you're listening to and who's energy you're around. This can all have an impact on your mentality and general well-being, so it's important we take a critical look and let go of anything that's not serving us.

For all those who aren't into the book review, the mood board talk starts at 11 min. Don't worry, I still love and appreciate you - but I do think you might like the book recs! Gen Nows, what the heck is up? We're back together again on this fine Thursday to talk about mood boards. We all hear terms like "envision yourself as your highest self and show up as them every day", "create an inspo board if you want to achieve your goals" or "you have to visualize it first before you achieve in real life". But what does any of it actually mean and does it actually work? Well, it all comes down to *visualization* and, essentially, yes it really will help you achieve your goals. I provide evidence - both research-based and anecdotal - about why visualization works and how mood boards help you visualize, as well as give you some tips to get started. All my research is down below if you want to do some fact-checking yourself!Once you're done with the episode, join the #generationnow community by following @generationnowpodcast on Instagram or @generationnowpodcast on Tik Tok.

It's Thursday, aka the best day of the week! This week Sara and I discuss how she started working in social media, how to get the most out of your internship, how she advanced in her career and how she sets boundaries with social media consumption. I also talked about the song that's taking over the internet - drivers license (does anyone else have a hard time spelling license?). I'm absolutely obsessed, not only with this song, but the vibes of my January 2021 playlist. So here are a few musical things of mine you may want to check out:My January 2021 playlist on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/user/roglaur A playlist with my fave drivers license remixes (and of course the OG): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlnSJPxxW_m6IcwVLjsU8PZwNYEWa8GCzOnce you're done with the episode, join the #generationnow community by following @generationnowpodcast on Instagram or @generationnowpodcast on Tik Tok.

Happy Thursday, Gen Nows! Okay, I don't know about you - but transitions stress me out. Actually, any sort of change is pretty much enough for me to put my headphones in and pretend to escape this world. Yes, I'm dramatic, but I digress. I find that having insight into changes or hearing about transitions from people who have done it before me to be super helpful - so let me be that for you this week. I'm talking about my transition out of post-secondary school and into the 'real world'. I'm talking about some of the ways I found out what exactly in my field I liked, how I dealt with burnout and learning to enjoy the journey versus always focusing on the destination. I hope you enjoy this little look into life after your degree/diploma and I'm always around to answer any questions you may have!Books I talked about in the beginning:From Blood and Ash by Jennifer Armentrout Chasing Lucky by Jen BennettOnce you're done with the episode, join the #generationnow community by following @generationnowpodcast on Instagram or @generationnowpodcast on Tik Tok.

Happy Thursday Gen Nows. As you know, Thursday is my favourite day of the week - and today is absolutely no exception. Julia and Val are here to tell us about how they started their communications agency - Crafted Communications - how teamwork is their dream work, how to balance your personal and work life to avoid burnout and what they do every day that sets them up for success. It was truly an inspirational conversation that left me feeling inspired and motivated, but in such a gentle way - opposed to the 'if you don't work 24/7 you're lazy' type of way that I think is far too overhyped these days.

Happy Thursday Gen Nows! This week I want to break out of the curated social media mold and let you know what's really been going on. Some sh*t has gone down this past week - from car troubles to realizing maybe my mind doesn't work like other people's. I always try to find a silver lining and pass that along to you, which I think I managed to do pretty well in this week's episode! I also did a mini Q&A at the end, so stick around to learn about why I started the podcast, what books I'm currently reading and my tips for setting personal boundaries.

We're back folks - happy Thursday! In this week's episode, I reminisce about some of the places I've travelled and definitely got in my feels a few times. It was so fun to reflect on the amazing experiences I've had and the impact that they have had on me. It also got me really excited about future travel plans and all the places I want to see. Talking about this got me super inspired, brought back some beautiful memories and reassured me that the universe knows what it's doing. So join me for another virtual escape, as we travel through Paris, Wales, Montreal and a few more incredible destinations.

Not a sweet escape (get it? Any Gwen Stefani fans out there?) - but a virtual escape! I know we're stuck at home right now - or just to work and back - so I wanted to take you on a little adventure this week. I talk about some of the things I'm looking forward to doing after the COVID-19 pandemic/physical distancing is over. I'm thankful we have such knowledgeable people guiding us through this global health crisis and I, of course, am taking all the precautions I'm supposed to (CLEAN YOUR HANDS PEOPLE), but that doesn't mean we can't have a little virtual fun.
