Hello Lovely People!

I am coming to you this week with another fun episode and *spoiler alert* mini interview with an awesome friend who is interested in starting her own podcast!

We decided to sit down for you and talk mostly about my tips and tricks to starting a podcast, and we also learn some things about ourselves along the way!

We really hope you enjoy this one! :)

Hi hi!

How are you friends? I've missed you all a lot and I've got a lot of really interesting/ fun/ dramatic thoughts to share with you all.

This episode title, while it seems overly intimidating, is really just a message from me about how to deal with your feelings when all you wanna do is go scream into a closet somewhere...

We're talking about all the real, raw emotions that come with being a human being, and most importantly, how to deal with them in a healthy way!

Tagging here a few fun things I mention in this episode ;)

"Hater's gon' hate..."

Enjoy your life fam. You deserve to be happy, you enjoy to feel love and peace and comfort. You deserve to feel like you're enjoy and that you don't have to keep proving yourself.  Find strength in the small things that YOU love about yourself! 

These are the thoughts that I have to keep in the back of my mind when I start to spiral in a million different directions. We deserve good things... don't forget it!

Love ya'll!

Hey hey! Happy Valentine's Day! In true valentine's fashion we're celebrating all the things I love--including my fur son, Studley James, but also talking about the nitty gritty parts of love.

Hi! 👋

Welcome to the I Think We Should Talk Podcast where we talk about how life in your 20's makes absolutely no sense! HA! 

... But really though, I'm bringing you guys another long awaited episode where we talk about what it means to make a comeback-- mentally, physically, spiritually, etc. 

At this point I feel like the sum of this podcast is about how to pick yourself back up after falling, but also how to pick yourself back up after periods of doubting yourself, figuring shit out, and just overall trying to be better and feel better.

I hope you guys like this episode!

So yeah. A lot's happened. I'm not okay. I'm not happy about a lot of things. I'm sad. I'm angry. I'm confused. I am all the emotions-- all at once. Frustrated doesn't even begin to cover it. And oh yeah, I'm back by the way, cause I can't take sitting back anymore not saying anything. Not voicing my opinion. If I can help it, I have to help take a stand and bring about some conversation, and a voice of reason into all this because the world is a wild, scary, crazy place. That said, I know things aren't all bad all the time, and I genuinely was going through it when I recorded this episode. Be advised though... definitely NSFW.

I hope you're angry enough like me to help enact change. For resources to support in the fight for women's reproductive rights, visit:
