11. Protecting your peace and learning to take up space

15. The days are falling away like leaves.... but let's slooooooooow down anyway.

Do you ever feel like time is passing by TOOO fast? Some of it probably cannot be changed, but hustle culture and modern technology have also played a part in causing the time to pass by faster. In today's episode, we'll be talking about the slow living movement, why we should slow down, and how we can all introduce this concept into our own lives, even if our lives are busy now. Let's all take a deep breath and live more in the present, experiencing this amazing thing called life at the fullest level.

14. on body image & societal beauty standards

The one where I dissect my own insecurities about my body and the way I look, and question where these insecurities come from in the first place. When you talk out loud about some of the insecurities you have, you start to realize how stupid and nonsensical they truly are. So many of them were instilled by a society that does not care about us. I also suggest some alternative ways of thinking about our bodies (easier said than done, of course): how can we start showing more compassion to ourselves? Why do we talk to ourselves so harshly? How can we learn to see our bodies as our home for this lifetime and learn to let go of our attachment to how we look as part of our worth? I don't know the answers to all of these questions, nor am I an expert, but I am someone who is healing my relationship with my body and recovering from self-sabotage. I hope this may be of some comfort.

13. Respectfully, get a hobby

It may be rude for someone to tell you to "get a hobby," but it's also completely true...

12. "I feel like I haven't accomplished anything in life"

Do you, too, feel like you haven't done anything to contribute to this beautiful world? That you're running out of time to prove yourself as worthy to take up space on this planet? Today I'll be talking about unrealistic societal expectations that cause us to fall into harsh cycles of comparison. Why is it that we have the tendency to underestimate everything we do? Also, why do we need to be worthy in order to feel like we can deserve being alive?

11. Protecting your peace and learning to take up space

Happy 2023 and welcome to season two of the pod! Today we're kicking off the new season strong by talking about some very important topics that have been relevant to my life recently: setting boundaries, protecting your peace/energy especially when it comes to those who are very close to you, and learning to prioritize yourself. I wouldn't exactly call myself a people pleaser, and I've never really cared about other people's opinions of me, but I still feel an overwhelming sense of responsibility for those in my life. I feel immense guilt whenever I can't show up 100%, yet I'm at a point where I no longer have any capacity to give. Some people aren't too happy about that. But at the end of the day, we can't be responsible for anyone but ourselves. Let's talk about it.
