EP 5- How to Get Serious About Chasing Your Dreams

In this episode, we sat down to talk about self-care and the stigma behind mental health. This will be an on-going theme in this show, but this episode specifically talks about the growth we’ve seen in each other in the past few months with self-care and how we’ve been able to maintain a healthy lifestyle. In your 20s, self-care can often be put on the back-burner, but this is NOT ACCEPTABLE. Put yourself first, and you’ll be able to do things you never thought possible.

EP 3- Trusting the Process

EVERY SINGLE PERSON CAN LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE. We had the pleasure to sit down with Taylor Hickey, body positivity activist and future law student, to talk about all things self-love and body-positivity. With today's never-ending rat race of posting on Instagram, it can be so easy to quickly compare yourself to others and forget how to love yourself. In this episode, we discuss how to OVERCOME today's distractions and get to a point where you truly love every bit of yourself in a healthy way. Thank you so much Taylor for sharing your thoughts on this extremely important topic. We learned so much, and you will too! Tune in! As always, email us: thisisyour20s@gmail.com FOLLOW US-- we post good things :) Elyse Insta: @haskell_the_rascal Meredith Insta: @meredith_breda Taylor Insta: @tay_hayes_ TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1) You need to appreciate yourself every single day. This means taking the time to look in the mirror every day and point out the parts about yourself that you love. 2) Stop being so hard on yourself for eating “bad”-- it’s not worth your stress, especially around Thanksgiving and Christmas time! 3) You may not feel like you're making progress with self-love, but ANY progress you make, is good progress. Consistency--- check in with your mindset every day. 4) Self-love and becoming 100% body positvite takes so much time, keep reminding yourself of where you want to be and continue working on it!     See you next week!
