Inside the College Mental Health Crisis: How To Get Through It with Dr. Jeffrey Hayes, National Leader in Collegiate Mental Health Research

Self-Love Is The "Magic Wand" To Dissolving All Problems

If every relationship you attract, every job opportunity that comes your way, and every life decision you make must FIRST pass through the RELATIONSHIP YOU HAVE WITH YOURSELF... then one question becomes impossible to ignore: WHAT IS THE QUALITY OF THOSE THINGS? In this episode, I'm diving into one of the most life-changing concepts I've ever encountered: Louise Hay's theory that self-love is the "magic wand" to dissolving all problems. Whether you're struggling with relationships, money, anxiety, procrastination, self-doubt, heartbreak, or simply feeling stuck in life, Louise believed that true change begins with self-approval, self-acceptance and LOVE. We'll explore how your inner dialogue shapes your decisions and opportunities, and why the beliefs you hold about yourself may be influencing every area of your life without you even realizing it. I'll also share personal stories about how practicing self-love helped me shift my relationship with money, discover a new career opportunity, and stop getting in my own way. If you've ever caught yourself thinking, "I'm not good enough," "I'm not smart enough," or "My life just never works out," this episode is for you.

Jealous? — In Love, Work, and Life? Good. Let's Use It the Right Way.

Jealousy sucks. It’s uncomfortable, hard to sit with, and let’s be honest, every single one of us has felt it or been hurt by someone else acting out because of it. Whether it’s in friendships, relationships, or your career, jealousy finds a way to show up — and yet, no one ever really teaches us what to do with it. In this episode of Why All Girls Need A Pink Disco Ball, we’re having the conversation most of us missed growing up: what jealousy actually is and how to manage it in healthy, empowering ways. From college girl drama, to silent rivalries in the workforce, to the gut-punch of seeing your crush talk to someone else — we break it all down. We’ll talk about how to spot jealous behavior from others, how to stop toxic patterns before they start, and how to work through your own jealousy WITHOUT SHAME. Because here’s the truth: jealousy doesn’t mean you’re weak or insecure. It means you care. And when understood, it can actually lead you closer to the life you want. This is your judgment-free, science-backed, soul-soothing guide to turning that pit-in-your-stomach feeling into power. Let’s stop tearing each other down — and finally learn how to rise above!
