Simply Just Living with Isabel Petrou

entering 2024

It’s officially the new year. I know I can’t believe it either. With the new year, comes new goals. In today’s episode we run through my 2023 goals and chat about whether they were accomplished, then we close it off by discussing my 2024 goals.

the rise of influencers

Today's episode is a quick one but this is one of my favorite topics yet! We live in a world surrounded by influencers. Kids these days often even say they wanna be one when they grow up. I wanted to get to the root of this new phenomenon that only really just began to exist in the 2010s. How did influencers get their platform and how has that changed Hollywood forever?

my favorite things about being home for break

It's officially Winter Break for me!! I will admit this was in fact filmed over Thanksgiving Break, so if the timeline seems off that is why. Being home from break while in college is a really bittersweet feeling for me.

advice for college freshmen

Guess who's back????? I took a much-needed break from the pod to get my grounding during the start of the new school year. I'm good now and ready more than ever to put out new episodes for you guys. Today's episode is me (a sophomore) giving advice to incoming/already college freshmen who may feel a little lost in this new chapter of their lives. Trust me I have been there and I know it is NOT easy. Let's talk it out!

the pros & cons of being an only child

Have you ever wondered what goes through the mind of an only child? Are you an only child yourself who feels misunderstood? Well lucky for you I lived it. In today's episode, I answer both questions while going through my own experience of growing up an only child. We talk about all the positives and we definitely talk about all the negatives.
