It's a Process

Easter Sunday was the day I had been dreading all week because it meant I was going to spend a family holiday all by myself. This episode I talk about how lonely I had been feeling and how I did my best to redirect my energy in positive ways. I also talk about how the smallest acts of kindness turned this Easter into one I'll never forget. 

I invite my two best friends, Eva and Christy, to discuss the ins and outs of our friendship, including how we've managed to stay friends since middle school, and how many times we've honestly thought the friendship was over. The episode ends with a fun game of "who is most likely to" where you'll learn inside tea about me as well as dirt on Eva and Christy. 

Though hard, I recommend doing your best to focus on any positive ideas you can during this weird, nerve wracking time. In this episode, I focus on my tips to finding some happiness, and ways I'm choosing to make the most of this stay-at-home-order. 

The current pandemic and quarantine has made me realize...I miss recording my podcast! So I'm back in a quick surprise episode to briefly discuss where I've been and why I stopped. 

Learning to balance your "professional-self" with your "everyday-self" with even your "going-out" self can get a little tricky...especially when worlds start colliding and people have all these different expectations of who you are. It's time we stop setting these own standards for ourselves and putting our personalities in different buckets for different scenarios....everyone needs to learn its time to just be yourself. 

After being told, straight up, that I'm hard to talk to because all I do is complain, I was forced to look my complaints in the eye, and figure out concrete solutions. Everyone can complain, but not everyone has the motivation and drive to fix the things they're constantly b*tching about. 

After taking a week long vacation by myself, I reflect on the importance of doing things for yourself and on your own - and how everyone could benefit from a little "me-time". 

When people think about their future career or where they want to be in 10 years - everyone looks at it a little differently. Today's episode explores my current thought process and why I think I may need to change my thinking. 

I power through my terrible hangover to rant to you guys about how everyone needs to start being more open about when they're feeling sad....and how I wish I was as cool as social media influencers 

Admit it...there's that one friend in the group that is ALWAYS being picked on. If it's not you, then you can probably figure out who it is. It's not always a bad thing, but do know, you aren't alone. There are other "Nickelback" friends out there - and there's no shame. 

If there's one thing I've learned in the past year, it's that...it's OKAY to not feel like actively seeking friendships, or choosing to be on your own. It's time we embrace that and stop hunting for friendships when we should be finding peace in our own solitude. 

If you know me, you know I've been talking about starting a podcast for awhile now. Well, here it finally is. And here's the story about what took so long, and why I wanted to begin this journey in the first place.
