GWTP: Get With The Program is a series aka a conversation with myself dedicated to storytelling, my sometimes arrogant opinions, and everything in between. Rest assured, we’ll talk all about real life and culture, iconic moments, pet peeves, and some serious tea with P will be spilled.
Are you tired of being disappointed with those closest to you because they just aren't measuring up? It's time to lower that god damn bar, never thought I'd speak that into existence! Going into any situation, you should take into account other people's faults and expect that their behaviour won't change because if you believe the contrary, more often than not you'll end up disappointed. Why are you surprised that your bestie who's always late is not on time for your dinner reso? Why do you think the Hinge match who told you he wanted to be #FWB suddenly wants to be in a relationship? Why are you surprised that your graphic designer didn't translate what was in your head digitally? Wait, were you even clear with your expectations? Probably not. Listen now for the most relatable situations and how to start managing your expectations, to limit feelings of disappointment. #YesPlease Share episode ideas with me here, GWTP fam!
When was the last time you turned your OOO on for an uninterrupted vacation day? Trust me, I don't remember either! GWTP fam, THIS is your reminder that your brain literally needs a vacation to stay sane and vacay doesn't always mean leaving the country. However, giving your brain that mental break it needs to perform and enjoy what's right in front of you requires taking a step back from your routine of repetition. Listen now for my ultimate staycation tips that will still transform your state of mind without getting on a flight.
Dating in 2020 is hard. Being left on read hits harder. Can we all learn how to use our words? Prioritizing communication over cowardly antics is a bandwagon we all need to hop on- just saying! I share perspectives you don't want to miss on what it's like to "ghost someone" and be "ghosted". Listen now as I enlighten your close-minded energy, GWTP fam!
We live in a world where people are thirsty to make that bread at the expense of losing everyone and everything around them. The lengths we go to be considered the slightest bit "successful" would have been considered unbelievable decades ago. It's a blessing and a curse for us millennials to grow up in this world of hustle culture. From a young age, my parents had embedded in me that working my ass off was a non-negotiable. I found and continue to experience immeasurable fulfillment when excelling in my career and it's been something that's stuck with me since day one. Literally though, when I was in my early teens, I was paid illegally to scoop ice cream, sweep floors and clean toilets and at that time I was thrilled at the fact that I was working- no task was too small but everything I did had to be excellent, some would say perfect... However, at that stage in my life there was no additional pressure to be posting my every "win" at work or brag about the fact that I was always the first one to arrive and the last one to leave. In an age where 12 to 18 hour days are praised via social media engagement, there has to be some sort of prioritizing that takes place for your own sanity (pre-breakdown). Listen now as I explore this idea of #HustleCulture and the importance of sometimes doing what's best for you and letting tf go of all the rest. SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY: if you are thriving in your relationship AND your biz hit me up rn because I don't think it's humanly possible in 2020. #SomethingsGottaGive
Yes, it's wary not weary! Buckle up for your quick English lesson on what these terms actually mean because you and I both learn something new every day. Listen now for how we should be acting woke and wary in our relationships, friendships and when approaching new opportunities. Suddenly, you'll be reflecting on your level of caution when approaching new situations, people and pyramid schemes (sos). Don't miss out on my POV when it comes to trusting your boo thing too quickly. I'm no genius but I sure as hell take pride in my level of self-awareness and you will too, GWTP fam.
GWTP fam, it's time to step out of your comfort zone. These past six months have been dominated by L's and now more than ever, you need to start challenging yourself to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. Yeah, I said it! And the only way to grow is to put yourself in situations that you don't feel 100% about. Stop blaming the over-saturated market and start with simply leaving your house and meeting someone new. Sweetie, you need to remember that all of those people doing their damn thing are not you! Listen to the ep rn and find out how to GTFO of your comfort zone.
GWTP fam, I went on a tragic first date and you deserve to laugh at my expense (literally). Get a cocktail in hand and sit back as I cover this week's top three news stories, my horrendous first date since COVID and the importance of removing base level emotions from your life. We have all been that person where we say, “I'm fine” when absolutely nothing is FINE. It's time for you to start understanding your feels and expressing them to the real ones in your life. We are no longer going through the motions because life is too damn short! Reach out to me (@peeadams) on the gram and share your cringey date stories and how no longer discrediting your feels betters your life.
