I left the country completely alone (and here's how it went) Oct 04, 2023

Show notes

37 | THE LONDON RECAP (slash reflection) IS HERE! If you follow me on YouTube, you may have already seen the entire visual documentation of my trip (links below), but in today's episode, I wanted to sit down and tell you everything I didn't say in the videos.
It's been far too long since I've recorded so we recapped a little & then got into my new favorite thing to talk about... my London trip. I wanted to use this episode to reflect on the trip, my feelings about it (good, bad, anxious), lessons I learned, and overall, how I felt about my first ever SOLO INTERNATIONAL trip. Enjoy. I love you x

Negativity bias Sep 12, 2023

Show notes

35 | By definition, "negativity bias" is our tendency not only to register negative stimuli more readily but also to dwell on these events. If you've ever gotten multiple compliments but focused more on the one insult, that is negativity bias at work.
Why do we do this? Is this normal? Is it scientific, or a mindset? This week, we're diving deeper into the concept of negativity bias to try to understand it, and ourselves, better.

Growth comes in waves Sep 05, 2023

Show notes

34 | Several months ago, when I was going through a bit of a rough patch, someone in my life told me that "growth comes in waves." In the time that has followed, this reminder has brought me so much peace, especially in uncertain times. This week, I wanted to share it with you. I love you xo

I met my celebrity crush IRL Aug 30, 2023

Show notes

33 | I've been a certified fangirl since birth. I can't help it! This is my truth. So it'll come as no surprise that, when I got to meet Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley (Damon and Stefan, respectively, from The Vampire Diaries) at an event last week, I was losing my sh*t.
As promised in last week's episode, this week I am bringing you the story of how I met Ian & Paul. I'm talking through exactly what went down, my reactions, and how it's made me think differently about being a fan in general.

Water your own grass Aug 22, 2023

Show notes

32 | The grass isn't always greener on the other side; it's green where you water it. It's so easy to get caught up in comparison, wondering "what if," and questioning whether or not we're doing the right thing in life. No matter the situation, it's important to remember to water our OWN grass instead of looking around and thinking it's automatically greener elsewhere.

Dear Diary #3: COLLEGE ADVICE EDITION Aug 09, 2023

Show notes

30 | Happy back-to-school season to those who celebrate! I am now two years post-college graduation, but I still miss back-to-school season and wanted to make a small contribution (and feel included) :')
I feel that I accumulated a lot of knowledge during my college years that had nothing to do with academics, so today I want to share what I learned so you can avoid making the same mistakes as I did.
This week, I'm sharing my best advice and tips about college (and school in general). I'm covering topics like high school vs. college, college admissions advice, dealing with homesickness, getting comfortable and making friends in a new environment, school/life balance, my GOLDEN RULES for time management and mitigating stress, studying tips, and advice on transferring.
As you can TELL, this is a long one, so clean your room, go on a drive, or just relax and let's hang out. <3

Confessions of a people pleaser (among other things) Aug 01, 2023

Show notes

29 | WE'RE BACK! And we're in major need of an update. I wanted to do a little catch-up (think: calling your long-distance best friend to chat about life for the first time in a while) this week and fill you in on what's been going on in my life and in my mind. This episode is definitely all over the place but is also representative of my very unpredictable, daily inner monologue.
We're covering being in a rut (& getting out of one), being a socially anxious people pleaser (& how to stop that), some of my current highs & lows, and more.
I LOVE YOU. Thank you for being here :)
