11|permanent labels for an impermanent existence: a conversation about identity

In this episode, I challenge the way that our culture regards identity. From the time we are young, we receive subtle messages that encourage us to attach our identities to a career or things. Underlying these messages is the suggestion that we have to define our identities at all. I explain that to capture the entirety of our existence in merely a few adjectives or words sells our human experience short and has the potential to lead to suffering. I suggest a different way of thinking that allows for more flexibility to just be and experience different versions of yourself without the need to constantly define it. Thank you for listening!! :)

10|creating a healthy relationship with social media

This episode delves deep into the threat social media can pose to your mental and emotional well-being. I explain that negative experiences with social media are, in part, attributed to the nature of the apps themselves but also encourage listeners to consider how their own behaviors relating to how they use the apps may lead to negative outcomes. I break down what I consider to be the five leading factors that contribute to the creation of an unhealthy relationship with social media and suggest ways to take on healthier habits for a healthier mind.

09|how to move through negative emotions

In this episode, I address the harsh reality that suffering and negative emotions are an undeniable part of the human experience. I debunk the idea that the goal of life should be happiness and instead suggest that we should strive for experience, accepting that negative emotions are apart of said experience. I go on to talk about my personal encounters with suffering  and suggest several mindset shifts and tools to help you move through negative emotions in a way that still allows you to live life to the fullest,  mindfulness mediation and Buddhist teachings acting as the basis of such lessons.

08| no more ghosting: a conversation on communication

In this episode, I talk about the importance of communication and confrontation in relationships. I had a very hard time with this until very recently, but learning to express my needs in a healthy way has really transformed the way I move through all sorts of relationships. In this episode, I unpack the roots of why confrontation was once so difficult for me and why it may be difficult for so many people; I explain how to express your needs and concerns in a way that's true to how you feel, but also mindful of the other person's emotions; and describe why ghosting has the potential to be so damaging on both ends. Thank you for listening!! Please rate, review, and follow if you like this content :)

07|you can't be behind in your own life: learning to become okay with where you're at

This episode is for anyone that is feeling uncertain or uneasy about where they're at in life and/or where they're headed. There are a number of outside forces  encouraging a nonstop hustle culture that can make it feel like maybe you're not doing enough or maybe you're not doing the "right" things. This episode serves as a reminder that you can never be behind in your own life and whatever pace you are going is perfectly okay. I talk about my own feelings and experiences with this topic and share some of the ways that I've worked through them in order to be at peace with where I'm at.
