our struggles are real

body image issues

hi again friends!! i have had a hard time motivating myself during my 6 month hiatus, but here i am! i’ve been going through a difficult time so i wanted to ease back into uploading with an episode that dealt with something that i have (thankfully) overcome. in this sesh i go through what planted the idea of insecurities into my child brain and how that affected my self esteem in high school, the unrealistic beauty standards we set for ourselves based on our society and home life, how normalized it is to judge people based on their physical appearance regardless of age, gender or weight, and how our relationship with food can become unhealthy if it’s fueled by self hate. struggling with body dysmorphia and hating what you see in the mirror is a truly isolating experience, but we have to remind ourselves that sometimes our brain tricks us into being mean to ourselves. no one deserves to feel like the body they’re in isn’t good enough. it’s a long and bumpy journey to self acceptance besties, but i know that once you start feeling appreciation for your body for simply keeping you alive, you slowly realize that’s all that you need :)

angry, but in a silly way

hi friends! the day i recorded this was pretty hard for me. if you tuned in last week, you heard me talk about an appointment i was looking forward to - unfortunately, i missed it and i had some pretty strong feelings about it. in this sesh i talk about dissecting my emotional responses, how i feel about anger and managing it, and also… our toilet over flowing. i hope what i say resonates with you, but if not i hope you still get a few giggles out of it :)

our struggles are real

hi friends! i finally made the first episode :) in this sesh i give an introduction to my personal journey with mental health. i talk about early recollections of meltdowns, connecting the dots throughout my life and reassuring myself that i did my best. if you can see yourself or someone you love in the things i explain, i hope i was able to provide some kind of comfort or insight. i want you to know that we got this bestie!! it’s never to late to begin being kind to yourself.
