Pour yourself a tequila floater and strap in because this weeks episode is a crazy a** ride. This episode is all about ONE of my FAVORITE topics: dating culture in your 20’s!

From a very real and honest perspective, I share my own experiences and thoughts on the crazy f*cking ride that is DATING IN YOUR 20’s.

EP #22 | NO PAIN NO GAIN

This week is all about going back to why I started this podcast in the first place. YOUR 20’S ARE HARD! If you are in this period of your life, you know what I am talking about. Part of why this decade of our lives is so difficult is because we are constantly comparing. THE COMPARISON MONSTER WILL EAT YOU ALIVE!! This time of you life cannot be compared to anyone else’s because they are not you. Make mistakes, fail, try new things, push yourself outside of your comfort zone, date a lot of people, or date no one, find yourself, and about all else STAY IN YOUR LANE. 

EP #21 | STAY IN YOUR LANE

Listen up ladies (and gents) you are THE main character. You are that bitch. You are dare I say THAT GIRL. And you know what THAT GIRL does? She vibrates on a higher frequency. She sets healthy boundaries, she lives her life like she is THE GIRL (even on the days she doesn’t feel like it). In this weeks episode I dive into what it takes to be the main character of your life. 

Ep #20 | BE THE CARROT

I think everyone needs to hear this (including myself). STOP GLORIFYING BURNOUT! We do it in our careers, our relationships, to ourselves. It is awful when we constantly push ourselves  to our breaking point. We are not meant to live like that. We need to rejuvenate. We need to take the time to give back to ourselves. Never underestimate the power of refilling your cup. It is so important to prioritize our health and sanity. In this episode I dive in to specifically what I do to prevent my burnouts. 

Ep #19 | STOP THE BURNOUT

This one is taking me back to my roots! In this episode I break down and get in to the nitty gritty of all the things that I wish I knew in my early 20’s. Honestly, everything I discuss in this episode can be applied to any stage of life. This episode is FULL of tips, tricks, and (unsolicited) advice. I wish I had this episode YEARS AGO! 

Ep # 18 | Real Life Hacks For Being In Your 20’s

When was the last time you celebrated for yourself?  In this weeks episode I just want to chat and remind you to stop and celebrate your wins. It is important to recognize when you have accomplished your goals and are smashing your to do lists. STOP comparing yourself and accept your imperfection as the true perfection in this life! 

Ep # 17 | Celebrate Wins And Re-evaluate Perfection

On this weeks episode I share my deeply personal body image journey and my own personal struggles with body dysmorphia and diet.

I hope this episode will make you feel normal and validate your own personal journey with health, fitness, and being more loving towards your body. 

Ep #16 | Loving Your Body

#15-On this episode I am talking with Delaney Rowe. You may recognize her from Tik Tok.

If you have never seen her work, you MUST look her up. On today’s episode, we discuss what it’s like to be in your 20’s, living in LA, making new friends, self care, staying true to yourself, and how to effectively make content that is aligned with who you are.

Ep #13 | Living in abundance, appreciating the present, and dealing with the mess stored in closets

This episode is ALL OVER THE M*THER F!C&ING place. First, can someone please explain to me why everyone and their mother who is washed up from some reality show DECIDES it is their civic duty to start a podcast!!? Please....PLEASE leave the podcast for those of us that feel it is our CALLING. Which brings me to the meat of this episode which is all about throwing out the word RESOLUTION and exclusively using the word GOALS. Because let’s be real-resolutions go to die in the metaphorical graveyard at the end of JANUARY. But not goals honey. Not this year. I am here to equip you with ALL of the positive support and tools to conquer 2021. LET GET IT.

Ep #12 | Not Your Average New Years Goals (not resolutions because we don’t believe in that word here)

This episode is a shortie but a goodie. If you had anywhere close to the week that I’ve had, you need this episode. It seems that 2020 is going to be relentless until the bitter end. Well you know what?! It takes two to tango bitch. And I refuse to sit back and let 2020 win. In this episode, I set the tone of the last month of this crazy year right: ready to kick it’s ass.  I really just wanted to give you a little appetizer if you will to the main course all month.  When we encounter a colossal year such as this one, we need to digest it in small bites.

Ep # 10 | The Stay Open Story

Who knew when you got engaged that people would act so fucking weird. People come out the the woodwork that you haven’t talked to in FOREVER. Old friends disappear in the midst of (hopefully) one of the happiest times of your life. There is no telling what people’s reactions are going to be. But whether you’re engaged, getting married, having a baby,  quitting a job, or going through many of the changes that life throws at us-people ALWAYS have something to say. Well, I have something to say back.
