Millennial Growing Pains

Millennial Growing Pains

Have you ever gone through a difficult time and were told that it's all just part of growing up? Have you heard of the most recent trend in wellness, the Growth Mindset? Do you wonder if this is just another bs movement, like the Positive Thoughts trend? Let's dissect what growth means, the ways it challenges us, and how Milllennials can channel all of our angst to make a difference. Episode featuring special episode art by Madeleine Valentin and "Healing" by Anaís Azul, the musical hymn for self-care.

Inadequate

Sometimes you look around and everyone seems to be doing leaps and bounds better than you. In this episode, I address the all-too-common flood of panic we all experience occasionally, where it feels like nothing we do is good enough. I explore some of the larger societal constructs that contribute to this phenomenon, and how I try to help free myself of it. Thanks for listening.

Ties that Bend

As you grow and transform, so do your friendships. Sometimes you outgrow them, sometimes they forget you, sometimes it's a mutual parting filled with love and goodwill. In this episode, Romina dives into the murky world of non-romantic relationships to get to the bottom of ties that bind, ties that break, and ties that bend.
