    This week's episode is a bit of a mess. I had a topic I wanted to talk about and it was all planned out but I just wasn't feeling it today so instead I spent 20 minutes ranting about random things, with absolutely no point at all.

    I have always worried so much about what people think about me even people I don't know. I few weeks ago I reach a breaking point and decided I was done living in fear of what other people think of me and I really wanted to let go of this habit I have. Over the past few weeks, I have really discovered so much about myself while working on worrying about other people's opinions less. If social anxiety is something you struggle with I hope this episode helps you. It's incredibly freeing to realize people don't care about what you're doing as much as you do.

    why is gratitude important?

    I have really been thinking about gratitude a lot lately and I thought it would make a perfect topic for a podcast episode. I hate to admit this but gratitude is something I struggle with and maybe it's because I am a little pessimistic at times. I have been self-reflecting a lot lately and I have begun to work on my gratefulness. Before recording this episode I did a lot of research about the importance of gratitude and I learned so much. In this episode I share my thoughts and what Google says about the importance of gratitude. I also share things that have helped me be more grateful as well as some tips from Google. I really enjoyed creating this episode and I hope you like it too.  MY SOCIAL NEW YT Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqddpajDPzOzTw9Yih_kRZg TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@miaristaino?lang=en Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/miaristainio/?hl=en

    can cussing be beautiful?

    I know this is an interesting topic for a podcast episode, but I feel like I have an interesting perspective on cussing. I'm not someone who cusses often but I do occasionally. After some of the comments I have received, I wanted to talk about cussing and my perspective on this topic. As I have gotten older my opinions on this topic have changed so much. I think that there are both positives and negatives to cussing and this is just how I approach the topic of cussing. I just want to remind y'all this is just my opinion and everyone has different opinions :) Hope y'all have a wonderful Wednesday.

    This was just one of those days that my thoughts were so disorganized so I really hope this episode makes so sense. I really struggle with being stuck in the past and I regret so many of the decisions I have made. I was so focused on my future as a kid that I didn't enjoy my childhood and now I want to go back. I feel like these thoughts and feeling really impact the decision I make now. I'm very torn between making my current self happy and doing what's best for my future. I'm in the process of changing my mindset and trying not to live in the future while making an informed decision that benefits me in the moment and my future.

    This one is for all my crybabies out there. I understand just how hard it is to be a super emotional person and other people can make you feel so embarrassing for crying/being emotional. But I'm here to tell you that there is absolutely nothing wrong with crying and being super emotional. This is something I have been struggling with the past few years and recently I changed my prospective and I have a completely new outlook on my emotions.

    I feel like every time a new year starts the internet becomes obsessed with goal setting. All of this talk has really got me thinking about how much of our success is reliant on other people. This concept really threw me for a loop and I am still struggling to wrap my head around it. I shared some of my goals for the year in this episode as well as talked a lot about how crazy it is that as we get older the more our success becomes determined by other people.

    Hey guys, I'M BACK!!!!!! I'm so happy to be making podcast episodes again. Moving and getting settled into college was crazier than expected. Now that I have my schedule sorta figured out I (hopefully) be back on my normal podcast posting episode. This episode is a bit of a mess and my head was kinda all over the place. I recorded the episode after a long day, I just really wanted to get an episode out for your guys. Enjoy this very OFF TOPIC episode where I basically talk about what I have been up to since coming to college and my roommate joined in for a bit. I also talked about things that I didn't expect about college/things I wish people told me about college. Also as I am typing this out I realized that I forgot to edit out a segment of my coughing and I'm honestly way too tired to go back and edit it out. Hope you have a great Monday!!

    I'm sure by now we are all aware of "that girl" aesthetic and lifestyle. It's pretty unachievable and hard to maintain for the average person. Constantly comparing yourself to 30-second TikTok videos can leave you unconfident. I have struggled for a really long time trying to achieve the "that girl lifestyle but I failed and it wasn't till I changed my mindset and made small changes that fit easily into my life did I truly feel confident and like "that girl"
