I'm back this week talking about Nobel prizes, my fall festivities, and some risks I've taken that have paid off. Thanks for listening :)

Hello everyone! We are back and I can't wait for this podcast to integrate back into my routine in a new form. Listen for my fall IN/OUT list, some good news for the girls, and lighthearted advice :)

This week I discuss my answers to 7 questions to help me determine my "dream life", hoping to inspire others to reflect on what they want in the future and celebrate how far they've come. I also give some long overdue life updates and discuss my upcoming move! hope you love it xo :)

Hi guys!!! I'm happy to finally bring you my IN and OUT list for fall! I have been seeing quite a few of these and have absolutely loved the concept of sharing what you're into based on the season because I feel like it brings a lot of fun anticipation and helps switch things up. Some highlights from the list are my feelings about going out, fall flavors, and my thoughts on recent fashion trends. I hope everyone has the best week and thank you all for continuing to listen :)

Hi guys! I'm back with another week talking about 3 different ways I deal with criticism after needing these tools myself as I begin making new friendships and dealing with the pressure of a new job. I also tell you all about my recent east coast vacations, what is making me happy this fall, and why there's so much good content out right now! hope you love it :)

Hi guys! After a small hiatus I am back to the pod! I am so excited to tell you guys about how I'm getting adjusted in the new city and the new routines I'm establishing. I also get into how the negative mindset I had going into my work life affected me and how I'm getting through being thrown into uncomfortable situations. Hope you guys enjoy & follow us! @yourfavpickmeup

Hi everyone! I am solo today discussing a topic that is a big part of my life but I haven't talked about yet because I didn't exactly know how. I decided to tell you guys about my journey with eating healthy, exercise, and body confidence and how I've improved it over the years. This episode is very personal to me and I hope some people can relate to how I've felt in the past and ways to overcome it! Hope you guys love it and have the best week :)

Hi guys! This week I am so happy to be joined by my youngest sister, Emilea! She has been competitively figure skating at the national and international level for many years, and gives us her perspective on how having this huge and unique passion has shaped her life. She also tells us about making the hard decision to switch to ice dancing and opens up about what it takes to have the courage to follow your dreams! In the intro, we discuss our recent trip up north together & our fam! Hope everyone enjoys :)

EP 21: Hi guys! This week I am joined by one of my best and oldest friends, Maddy Roeske! We share our most recent embarrassing stories along with a few from growing up, and we also discuss our personal methods for maintaining a positive mindset (and when there's no need to be positive). I think you'll love hearing this as we kindof forgot we were recording and just had fun talking in Maddy's living room :)

This week I had a lot of time to relax and reflect, and what came of it was a lot of realizations about what people fear, how to overcome your fears, and what the most common fears are. I hope that in the next phase of my life, I lean into confidence rather than fear, and that is what I talk to you about today! I also touch on how I've used some recent downtime to learn about things I wouldn't normally be drawn to and the value of curiosity. There is also a brief golf segment (I had to).
