There's been a lot of talk on social media lately about the importance of feeling your feelings, but for those of us with a long history of over-intellectualizing...everything, that can be really hard to make happen!

In the first ever extended episode of The Wildest Podcast, Jandra shares her experience in learning how to feel her feelings, including practical tips on what to do if you don't know what you're feeling, the difference between primary versus secondary emotions, and—most importantly—how to begin this process for yourself.

Most of us have heard of the many benefits of meditation, but—like with all things—knowing you should be doing something is very different from actually putting it into practice.

As someone who has explored multiple types of meditation (and has finally built a semi-regular meditation practice), Jandra spends this episode of The Wildest Podcast talking about a beginner's guide to meditation—including practice tips on how to start meditating, finding the right kind of meditation for you, and how to make your meditation practice "stick".

For anyone who struggles with anxiety, depression, or any other mental health issues, it can be hard (if not impossible) to stay creative — or even productive — during those times. Not everyone has the ability to take time off, which means sometimes we're left to push through and find ways to stay creative even when we're feeling at our worst.

In this episode of The Wildest Podcast, Jandra shares her own experience with depression and anxiety, including how she finds ways to stay creative when she's struggling, how to move forward when things get hard, and small things you can do to help keep yourself afloat when it feels like you're drowning.

You can buy CBD products pretty much everywhere these days, but are they're effective? Well, that can be a different story entirely.

In this episode of The Wildest Podcast, Jandra shares about her experience with CBD including conversations she's had with various experts on the subject, the countless CBD products she's tried, and whether or not CBD has actually been helpful—and whether or not you should try it for yourself.**

Manifestation and The Law of Attraction certainly aren't new concepts, but as popularity for them continues to grow—especially on social media—how do these things actually work? Are they even effective?

In this episode of The Wildest Podcast, Jandra talks about her experience with The Law of Attraction, why she thinks manifestation works for some people, and how to use the psychological principles behind these philosophies in your own life.

When it comes to productivity, most of us have learned to address time management issues first. We want to learn how to do more with the time available to us, and—while that certainly makes sense—there's also a natural limit to how much you can improve your productivity because there are only so many hours in a day. 

In this episode of The Wildest Podcast, however, we take a look at energy management, why it's so important, and how to learn your own habits and patterns so you can use your energy levels to optimize your day.

We've all heard about why it's so important to be authentic and vulnerable, but in today's episode of The Wildest Podcast, I want to talk about a concept I like to call "scripted vulnerability," aka the tendency to cultivate a more comfortable and almost filtered version of vulnerability. 

While there's nothing wrong with scripted vulnerability, this episode discusses one of the pitfalls of this habit, why real vulnerability is so impactful (especially in today's society), and how to practice being more vulnerable in your own life.

Setting boundaries can be challenging, especially if you're a fellow people-pleaser, but they can be essential to your mental health and well-being. In this episode of The Wildest Podcast, I speak with author and podcaster Jill Grunenwald about how to get started with setting boundaries, the best way to handle any pushback you might face during this process, and why boundaries are about more than just protecting you and your energy.

Many of us are familiar with the concept of “the pandemic wall,” aka feeling like you’ve hit a point in the pandemic where you just don’t know how to continue, especially since — thanks to lingering vaccine hesitancy in the United States — we don’t really know when the COVID-19 pandemic is going to end. Add in the stress of climate change, political turmoil, human rights issues, and the war on women’s bodies, it comes as no surprise that depression rates have tripled since the start of the pandemic. And — with 67% of U.S. adults reporting increased stress levels according to the American Psychological Association — if you’re feeling like you’ve hit a wall, you’re definitely not alone.

In this week’s episode of The Wildest Podcast, I share about my own experience in feeling like I’ve hit a wall, what I’ve done to help cope with that feeling in the past, and different strategies you can use to help you move through this feeling in your own life.

While I've spent a lot of time sharing about my journey with fear and anxiety on this podcast and my social media accounts, it's not something I've dealt with my entire life. In fact, I used to be surprisingly fearless. After a bad reaction to medication left me with debilitating panic attacks, I was scrambling to get back to "normal" — to the fearless version of myself who loved stepping outside of her comfort zone — but I had to re-learn how to take risks from scratch.

In this episode of The Wildest Podcast, I share my own journey with risk-taking including why it's so important to continually stretch your comfort zone and how to build (or rebuild) your ability to take risks for yourself.

When it comes to starting something new — whether that's a new hobby, a side gig, a project, a career path, or a brand new business — it can be hard to motivate yourself to get started, especially if you're unsure how to begin, worried about starting the right way, or afraid of what might happen *after* you start. 

We hear a lot of advice that tells us to "just start," and while this advice is true — especially because you'll never feel 100% ready — that doesn't necessarily address how to move through your fears and actually make it happen.

In this week's episode of The Wildest Podcast, we talk about how to get started in anything you want to do, common fears that might be holding you back, and 3 ways to get started if you're not sure where to begin.

We all know the importance of mindset — studies suggest that cultivating a positive mindset offers a whole host of health benefits including increased lifespan, lower rates of depression, improved immune system, and more — but does that mean you should ignore your so-called negative emotions?

Absolutely not! In this episode of The Wildest Podcast, let's talk about why feeling bad isn't a bad thing and why emotional self-validation is a powerful resource to have in your personal development toolbox.

As a recovering people-pleaser, I know how hard it is to let go of the expectations of others — especially when it comes to figuring out what you want to do with your life. I've spent years chasing various goals only to realize that I was doing what other people wanted or expected, and the idea of doing what I wanted with my life was nearly impossible — mostly because I didn't know what I wanted.

In this episode of The Wildest Podcast, we'll talk about what I've learned over the last few years when it comes to setting boundaries, navigating external pressure, and how to figure out what you really want when you feel like you're being pulled in a million different directions.

We’ve all heard the cliché that says “failure is proof that you’re trying,” but there’s a big difference between hearing something like that and owning it for yourself. After all, failure is uncomfortable. We live in a world that has taught us to chase success, and — while that isn’t a bad thing — it does mean that the concept of failure can be a little scary for some of us.

In this week’s episode of The Wildest Podcast, we dive into why failure itself isn’t necessarily a bad thing, what it is that we’re really afraid of, and how to change our perception of failure so it's no longer holding us back.

If you’re anything like me, negative self-talk is something that sneaks up on you — sometimes showing itself in ways you don’t even expect. Sure, there are the obvious forms of negative self-talk (aka criticizing yourself constantly) but there are the less-than-obvious ones too — subtle forms of self-sabotage that emerge when you aren’t giving yourself the same kind of grace and patience you’d give a friend.

The solution? Learning how to break the habit of negative self-talk by introducing a certain level of mindfulness as well as healthy coping mechanisms that can help you counter negative self-talk.

If you’re ready to learn more about how to ditch negative self-talk, set aside a few minutes and tune into this week’s episode of The Wildest Podcast.

Let’s face it, anger is a potent emotion. It’s also an emotion that our society tends to avoid and frown upon — especially in women — which means many of us have learned that it’s safer to hide or avoid things like anger and resentment rather than address those emotions head-on. However, there’s nothing actually wrong with anger (or any other so-called “negative” emotion). In fact, I believe that emotions like anger and resentment are indicators — signs that there are issues that need to be addressed — which is why I think it’s important to talk about how we can cope with these emotions when they arise. 

As someone who has been struggling with anger and resentment in my own life, I wanted to take a moment to address these feelings in this week's episode of The Wildest Podcast.

Struggling to save money? You're definitely not alone! In this episode, we'll chat about The Savings Ladder, aka the savings strategy that my partner and I developed over the past 8 years that has helped us save over $30,000, pay off our student debt entirely, and save for a down payment on our house — all while still spending money on various things we wanted.

We'll talk about how to create a sustainable savings habit for yourself, the importance of starting small if you have big financial goals, as well as share an example of how you can start implementing The Savings Ladder in your own life.
