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!

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:

Hi Friends! 

Coming here on this fine Sunday to bring you all a fun mini episode about transition. I got a little artsy with this one because I felt like the only way to articulate what I've been feeling in the last few months is to share it in a creative and open way. I really hope you enjoy it, and if you're in a period of transition yourself, know that you aren't alone!

Grab a board, and prepare to paddle out with me on this exciting, nerve wracking and sometimes scary adventure!

Hello!!

Legit cannot believe it's March you guys! Today we are talking about having patience and trusting in the process. I think sometimes it's easy to feel like you're running the race of life but you're not moving fast enough or things just aren't progressing the way you would have liked them to. I'm here to be your metaphorical football coach to tell you, you've got this.

All the plans you're setting into motion right now will happen. The hard work will pay off. Keep  going!

Happy February Ya'll!! So much happening at all times but I'm so excited to bring ya'll a brand new episode all about recognizing the power that we have to take charge of our own lives and make things happen in the ways that work for us-- in ways that make sense for us.

Life is about prioritizing your needs so that you can start to share those blessings with other people. We can't give if we haven't yet taken care of our own needs. I'm aiming to do a lot more of that this year!

How many times have we all done things or went along with things just because we wanted to make other people happy? I'm working really hard to not do that, and I hope that through this episode ya'll can start to adapt those habits into your every day lives as well!!

Love you guys so so much!!

Hi!  I really hope that you're feeling good. That you're okay and healthy and well, and thriving. But... if you're not, that's okay too! I really wanted to make this episode be about making the best out of sucky situations and further how to help each other get out of this rut that I think many of us have been feeling.

It's hard to be excited about life sometimes when things just don't feel great or exciting or eventful. I know for myself I've felt that about 1000x over during the last few weeks. I'm really grateful to have some good people in my corner to turn to for love and support and I'm really grateful that I get to be here for all of you and can hopefully share some love and support with you all as well.

I hope you enjoy this episode, and I'm so glad we're on this crazy train together 🤪. Love ya'll !

Also if you'd be so kind as to leave a rating on my podcast on Spotify, I'd love you forever 🥰

"5, 4, 3, 2, 1..." It's a new year, which means it's time to shed some of that extra emotional baggage I think that I've been carrying around all year. I think it's high time I start letting go of the things about myself that I know I have the power to change, and walking into 2022 as a truly happier person.

These things aren't going to happen overnight, but I'm really glad I'm able to start the growth process right now, and work on getting rid of these things for good so that I can truly thrive.

I'm so excited to share all of these things with you all in this episode, and I'm so happy ya'll have been here on this ride with me over the last few years.

Remember that none of us is perfect, and that it takes work, rest, and determination to keep going even on the hardest of days. I hope ya'll can remember that as we begin to enter into 2022.

Hope ya'll have a beautiful new year and I look forward to catching up with ya'll later this month for some fun new discoveries on part 2 of season 3!

Take care fam!!

Here's the deal. As we wrap up 2021, I thought it was really important that we remember to reward ourselves for the small gains we made this year. 2021 proved to be just as hard-- if not harder than 2020, and the fact that we made any shred of progress in any way this year is something to be celebrated.

I think sometimes we forget to cheer ourselves on when we do something for ourselves that makes our lives better, or something that gets us that much closer to achieving the goals that we set out for ourselves.

This episode is all about celebrating those wins in a big way, and walking into the new year feeling like you can do anything you want to do!

I love ya'll. Hope you guys have had a lovely holiday season!

Hi!

I'll be the first to admit that I tend to form opinions about everything pretty quickly and I don't give myself a lot of time to give things a chance, and most importantly to be surprised.

Sometimes the situations, events, and circumstances in my life tend to dictate why I do certain things or why I make the choices I make, and often I expect a lot out of everything and everyone I come into contact with.

I know that a lot of these biases come from a place of frustration and hurt, and sometimes it's just me deciding that I'm not willing to grow or learn from these situations that are placed in front of me. That kind of thinking is really damaging and that's something I wanna dispel in today's episode. If you're anything like me, come along with me on this journey of self discovery and growth-- it might be hard but it's definitely all worth it!!

Allow yourself to be the Karate Kid, wax on, wax off.

Love ya'll!

Happy Thanksgiving all you awesome people!!

Wanted to come on with another fabulous episode for you guys to talk about the things that make me smile! As the holidays are fast approaching, I wanted to share the little things that I cling to that help me deal with all the things that stress me out, and make me feel overwhelmed. If these last few years have taught me anything, it's that holding on to the things I find comfort in goes a long way in improving my mental health. I hope that you can find some happiness in these things I'm sharing with ya'll.

Happy Start to the Holidays! 

Love ya!

Hi.

I hope your life lately has been filled with fun and exciting moments that you get to share with those that you love. I know for myself, I've been prioritizing doing literally ALL THE THINGS, and its been hard getting back into a normal rhythm.

Today's episode is all about building that new life for yourself that's exciting, but also can be a bit scary and overwhelming. We're digging deep into my insecurities, but also my hopes for the future.

I hope you come along for the ride, and I hope that you enjoy this episode!!

All my love-- xx

I'm starting to realize this podcast is really a way for me to hold myself accountable when it comes to taking care of my mental and physical needs! Anybody else been feeling insanely scatterbrained and seemingly unable to get it together?! I know that I have, so I thought it was important to share some thoughts and hopefully some good advice on how to create a more peaceful life that is productive and enjoyable!

I hope ya'll are doing well and I hope you guys love this episode! 

Talk to ya'll very soon!!
