How to heal your relationship with food and your body in order to gain confidence in college

Hello everyone! Welcome back to another episode, I am so glad that you are here! Before you click play, I would like to warn you that we are discussing eating disorder tendencies and mention weight in this episode, so if that is a trigger for you, please prioritize your mental well-being above all. In this episode, Regan and I are going to be sharing our stories of our struggles with body image, disordered eating, and healing our relationships with food and our self worth. We will also discuss strategies to focus less on physical appearance in order to exert more of our energy towards more important things that we do as college students!  I hope that this message will help you heal from any past trauma with food or body image. Remember that you are unique, STRONG, and perfect just as you are!

Resilience! How to overcome the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad weeks that life throws at us!

Hey friends, welcome back to another episode! This week we are tackling the topic of RESILIENCE! This is a trait that we all strive to embrace, but few people are truly able to sustain. Especially in college, life is challenging. Whether that be relationships, hard classes, stressful family situations, or self-deprecation, we have probably experienced some form of hardship. Sometimes, we just have a bad day.....or week, which brings us to this week's question. How do we overcome those awful weeks?! Katie will share her story of hardship and then describe what she did to embrace the heartache, seek support, and grow as an individual. I cannot wait to share this fruitful conversation with all of you!

Is your major the right fit for you? How to evaluate your wants, create a plan, and pursue your dream career!

Hello friends! Welcome back to another episode! You know what I think is insane? That 18-year old's are expected to know exactly what they want to do with their life the moment they graduate from high school! Chances are, your interests will shift and change, and many students lose interest in their original major. In fact, according to the National Center for Education Statistics, about 80% of college students change their major at least once during college. During this period of change, many students experience anxiety, stress, and confusion, and  may not know what steps to take next. Today I had the pleasure of talking to my friend Sawyer, who changed her major several times before finding her passion in the field of education. In this episode, Sawyer recounts the moment that she realized her original major was not her personal calling, the steps that she took to change her major, the support that she received along the way, and path that led to her true passion of teaching. I cannot wait to share this episode with you all! Youtube Channel Sawyer mentioned: https://youtu.be/va25aciCD3E
