We all sometimes become victims to our habits which become ingrained and train our brain to think a certain way about a certain thing. We then create the same experience over and over. Sammi Todaro joins me to talk about being stuck in old habits (from being a teenager) and how we think you can begin to overcome this. We talk about why we get stuck with the voice of an angsty teen controlling our responses, and what are some simple ways to become who we want to be, and not who we are expected to be (based on the past). Join us to explore this topic from our perspective as two college students trying to break old habits and make new ones. *reference: "Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself" Joe Dispenza

This episode, my first ever solo episode, covers how to combat, recover, and prevent burnout. It is that time of year, when it seems like just about everyone is exhausted, and it has nothing to do with being lazy. Burnout is so common and often under addressed, which can lead to more serious problems down the road. In this episode, I explain the steps to realizing, assessing, and recovering from burnout to hopefully help everyone feel a little more inspired.
