I've given this topic a lot of thought, but my contribution to this topic alone didn't feel adequate. So - I polled roughly 20 of my closest friends and family with the following question: "What is one thing about your personal journey / pursuit of "figuring things out" that has given you joy and peace amidst all the inevitable chaos of life?" I expand on their responses regarding self-love, controlling what we can control, enjoying the process, and more! I also give my own personal reason(s) that give me joy and peace. Enjoy! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/rantnotover/support
The human experience is all the same at it's core: seeking community, love, and belonging. Anyone else feeling the constant battle between living in the "life is short" and "life is long" mindsets?

We talk about Amanda's travel growth from spontaneous trips to planned excursions. Hot tip: check the weather of the place you're traveling to before packing. Waiting on other people to take trips with you is overrated. There's strength in knowing your travel style and what you'd like to experience during your solo travels: immersive experience or isolated relaxation. Sometimes driving 12 hours out of your way is worth it for the Utah salt flats. When in doubt, carry bear spray for protection.

I take a solo dive into why growing as an individual can inevitably lead to outgrowing people in your life. It can feel like no longer feeling fulfilled in someone's presence, being indifferent about the relationship, or straight up not wanting to tolerate their bullsh*t anymore. Is the conversation worth having to salvage the relationship or should you fall back and make them feel your absence? Choose people who are consistently choosing you. More importantly, choose yourself over a relationship that no longer serves you. Outgrowing can naturally bring about emotions such as grief, confusion, and hurt. Growth = alignment = attraction of things meant for you! I hope you enjoy and this makes navigating these strange waters a little easier ♡ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/rantnotover/support
Gabriana and I sit down to catch up on her new found love for fitness and the evolution of it all - from a college athlete, to a new mom, to a gym junkie. She walks us through the insecurities and battles she's had to overcome in the gym and in her own body. Body dysmorphia is a bitch. Making time for herself has made her a better mother, partner, friend, and overall human. We also dip into personal development and why it's important to call yourself out on your own bullshit.

Ashley walks us through her 10 year career working with animals ranging from the Pittsburg Zoo to her current career as traveling vet tech. Listening to her gut has been the biggest deciding factor in staying, leaving, or pivoting in her career. We navigate why trusting your gut is so vital, but also why people tend to avoid it. Leaving a comfortable situation can be scary, but also worth the risk - this applies to careers AND relationships. Ashley expresses her contempt for insects, and I explain my fear of possums.

1st layer is self-awareness + acknowledgement: This requires introspection, recognizing behaviors, patterns, toxic habits, etc. This is the catalyst for the rest of the journey towards happiness and self-fulfillment. 2nd layer is self-responsibility + accountability: This requires digging and unpacking (scary, but crucial to not avoid). Take ownership over your own life, your own healing, and your own behaviors. YOU are the common denominator in your life, take responsibility for it. 3rd layer is acceptance + control: This requires releasing and accepting what you cannot control, and start focusing on what you can control. This is a mindset shift, and energy shift, and ultimately leads to true FREEDOM. I give some vulnerable, real life examples of my own behaviors and patterns and how I've maneuvered through them using this process.

Boundaries are not a negative thing, they're to keep you safe. You can't expect someone to change their behavior if you don't express your boundary. Communicating boundaries are hard, and the delivery is important. Boundaries come down to self respect and knowing yourself, what you need, and what you aren't willing to tolerate. Adult friendships aren't easy, give them grace. The benefits of dating around. Sydni shares her non-negotiables/boundaries and I share mine. Signs that you need to set boundaries in a relationship.

Tendencies of masculine and feminine energies are innately in all of us! Even if you don't battle it internally, it's sure to arise in a romantic relationship. Women need to allow men to be soft, men need to allow women to be assertive. If someone can't honor or encourage your independence, RED FLAG. Sometimes a female's masculinity in a relationship can be a defense mechanism. First date etiquette and who pays. Energy balances in same sex relationships, it's still a struggle to navigate. A TRUE alpha man is secure enough to allow his woman to have masculine energy.

Take responsibility for your own circumstances, shortcomings, and reactions. Stop blaming the universe or other people for your life, take back your power and take control. No one likes a victim mentality. It's not what happens to us, it's how we react to it. Give yourself the closure and healing you need, don't expect it from someone else.

Everyone's love language is quality time, just be present and intentional with your time. Take social cues, not everyone loves physical touch (especially on a first date). Don't buy your way out of trouble with gifts, it doesn't replace your shortcoming. Do the act of service because you want to make the other person's life easier, not because you want to use it as leverage. Selfless sex is the best sex, by the way. Words of affirmation…oof. I'm shook and proud that most of my IG followers have had the "love languages talk" with their partner. Romantic relationships can survive if love languages don't align, IF both partners are willing to communicate their way through it.

This is a juicy one. I give my two cents on y'alls turn-ons and turn-offs while dating. I also give mine at the end! Communication is key, and honestly expected. It's also more than just speaking, it's understanding too. A guy having a house plant or two is a green flag (pun totally intended). Have ambition, a goal, a passion...something! Do you think the guy should pay for the first date? Consistency is hot, vulnerability is sexy. Confidence is appreciated, just don't be obnoxious.

Calling myself out for lack of consistency - and challenging myself to become more consistent. Asking myself "how bad do I want it?". Becoming a better version of yourself means looking in the mirror. You can't grow until you face your shit, you can't grow UNLESS you face your shit.
