052 // Oh My, How You've Changed in a Year
In this episode, I talk about some of the changes I've gone through this year. Thanks for being with me for 52 episodes now!

048 // Self-Awareness and Learning From Others
In this episode we talk about being self-aware, learning from the situations we're in, and staying positive. Most of the time, when we notice something we don't like in others, it has something to do with us and our own behavior. So examine that this week with me. Let's dive in.
Mentioned in this episode:
047 // Being Comfortable With Who You Are
In this episode, we talk about how change is inevitable, so being comfortable with who you are will always be a lifelong process. Let's dive in.
046 // Friendships
In this episode, we take a deep dive into the topic of friendships - what it takes to make them, what it takes to keep them, and what happens when you lose them. We've all been in the middle of chaotic, divisive stuff recently, and I've lost a few friendships because of that (and some other factors). So let's take a hard look at honesty in friendships, what we want and need from them, and how everyone approaches them differently.
045 // Dealing With Overwhelm
In this episode, we talk about dealing with overwhelm when you have a lot of choices in front of you. I'm learning a lot of new things right now, and it's hard to know which way is the "right" way to go. Let's dive in.
044 // Learning Is Good For The Soul
In this episode, we talk about all the different things I'm learning right now. Learning is one of the best ways to grow and evolve, so let's dive in!
043 // When People Say "You've Changed"
In this episode, we talk about what happens when people say, "You've changed." It could be a compliment, but it usually isn't, and I don't always love it when someone says this to me. We should be allowed to change, so we have to decide what we do when people say this to us. Let's dive in!
042 // Different Versions Of Ourselves For Different People
In this episode, we talk about feeling like different people around different people in our lives. With some people, I feel like I can be any version of myself. With others, I feel like I have to be the person they are used to. So we're going to dive into that. Let's do it.
041 // The Reevaluation of Authenticity
In this episode, we talk about the fear of being wrong and relearning to be authentic after you've changed.
040 // Are You Getting Unfriended Too?
In this episode, we talk about stating your opinions, the fear of being wrong, and developing thicker skin. It's a frustrating one for me, but stick with me. Let's dive in.
039 // Opinions and Open-Mindedness
In this episode, we talk about opinions, not assuming what people aren’t saying when they state theirs, and learning to listen to ones that don’t agree with ours. Let’s dive in.
038 // How Do You Respond to Criticism?
In this episode, we chat about what we do with criticism from others, what we think about ourselves, and how to (try to) be better humans.

In this episode, we chat about personal responsibility - for our own happiness, health, and success.

In this episode, we talk about soul-care vs. self-care, why we need both, and how I've been taking care of myself the last month.
Mentioned in this episode:

In this episode, I chat about anxiety and remind you to be kind to yourself.
033 // 5 Lessons We're Learning In Quarantine
In this episode, we talk about 5 lessons I hope we're learning from our quarantine time. Let's dive in!
BONUS: Just Surviving Is Enough Right Now
To make up for last week, I want to remind you that if all you're doing is surviving right now, that is enough. You don't have to perfect your bread recipe, learn a new language, declutter and organize your garage, or start that side hustle you've been meaning to launch. Just BEING right now in these trying and unsure times is totally enough. Don't feel pressured to do more than just survive if that's all you can do. Hugs, and I'm here for you.
032 // Positive Stories When We Need Them The Most
In this episode, I share stories from my friends about positivity, kindness, and generosity in a time when we most need to hear them. Let's dive in and feel good today by focusing on how we're coming together as a community to help each other out.
031 // Relieving Stress and Focusing on the Positive
In this episode, we talk about ways to relieve anxiety in these times of high stress and several positive things I've noticed over the last few weeks. Plus, I chat about the guilt I've been feeling as my life hasn't really changed. Let's dive in.
030 // How High Is Your Anxiety Right Now?
My anxiety is through the ROOF. So I'm trying to breathe, meditate, drink lots of water and green smoothies, take my vitamins, and remind myself that I'm happy/healthy/safe/okay. We are in uncharted territory right now, so it's okay to not know what you're doing, to take a pause and just be in order to save your mental health.
Here are some of my fave resources to stay present and grounded during these trying times.
029 // Finding A Sense Of Control (COVID-19 episode)
In this episode, I don't actually say the virus's name, but we all know what we're talking about here. And we're all feeling it - whether that's anxiety or illness or a sense of ease. Mostly, what we're looking for is a bit of control back in our lives, so let's chat about how to do that when the entire world is on edge. Hugs to you.
028 // Being Seen
In this episode, we talk about being seen: how some people treat it like a magician's illusion and how some people have worked very hard to just be themselves. But is it important? Let's dive in.
027 // Grieving All The Things In Our Own Way
In this episode, we revisit grief. The grief of losing a loved one, of a relationship deteriorating, of your old self dying… It’s all very similar, but we can deal with them so differently. And it shouldn't matter what it looks like to anyone else. Let's dive in.
026 // How Do You Determine Your Value?
In this episode, we dive into value - how you determine it, what you do with it, and how it affects your whole life, from all of your relationships to how you work in business. And I give you another example of subtle trauma and how one second changed how I valued myself and my work from then on.
Bonus: The Name Change! Discover Yourself >> Deep Soul Care
In this mini bonus episode, I talk about the name change! Thanks for sticking with me. You'll never know how much I truly appreciate it.
025 // Emotions, Y'all. We're Supposed To Have Them.
In this episode, we talk all about emotions! That it’s okay to have them no matter what they are, that you can work with them to create a good life, and that you will inevitably slip even when you think you’ve mastered them. We’re human! We have emotions. It’s all good, so let’s dive in.
024 // It's Okay NOT to Dream BIG
In this episode, we talk about how it's okay not to dream big sometimes. Sometimes, our biggest goals are little things for ourselves, and that's totally okay. We don't always need to set huge, scary goals to take over the world or make six figures in our businesses. It's all about whatever works for YOU. Let's dive in.
022 // Replace, Don't Just Delete
In this episode, we talk about replacing things instead of just deleting them from our lives. Not avoiding or focusing on the negative, but finding the positive and building ourselves up. Plus, I give you a bit of a life update, so let’s dive in.
021 // My 2020 Words of the Year (And How Distracted I've Been Lately)
In this episode, I share my 2020 words of the year. Plus I give you my Core Desired Feelings and an update on my life (hint: it's about burnout and distraction).

In this episode, we talk about starting at the very beginning with new habits.
018 // 9 Things to Leave in 2019
In this episode, I talk about 9 things I want to leave behind in 2019. Because it's 2020 now and it's time to take control of our lives and live that life we love. Note: There is one S-bomb! Didn't mean to say it, but this podcast is all about authenticity, so I'm leaving it in there. :)
2019 Review
In this episode, I go over 2019 month by month with the highlights (and lowlights). Doing this helped me see what I need to do better in 2020, so I hope you'll give something similar a shot!

017 // Identity
In this episode, we talk about identity: how we are who we are, but how we can shift and change those things we identify with, and how we can’t get so hung up on identity when life is always changing.
016 // Self-Discovery Can Make You Moody AF
In this episode, we dive into how moody and confused a self-discovery journey can make you. We also chat about how harmful "absolutes" can be in your business and your personal life. Hold on to your hats - this one's a doozy.
015 // Self-Discovery Through Grief (And How That's Rough AF)
In this episode, I talk with you about what I've been going through since my dog suddenly passed away last week. It's not a fun episode, but there's still stuff you might relate to or understand. Like how to find yourself when you're not at all feeling like yourself anymore. Definitely cried a couple of times, so fair warning - it's sad. And I say a couple of mild swear words. Big hugs.
014 // Why Consistency is Holding You Back
In this episode, we talk about why consistency can be toxic to you and why you don't have to do it to be successful. Plus, I give you permission to quit that crap right now. This is a heated topic for me, so buckle up for the ride!
013 // Procrastinating on Your Goals
In this episode, we talk about how to get out of the procrastination funk and why it’s okay not to be perfect when it comes to your goals.
012 // Reflecting for a Better Future
in this episode, I reflect on how much my life has changed over the last six years. How my goals, my outlook on life, and how what's important to me have shifted. And I even throw in a bonus real-life story of how I had to set a boundary, which I wouldn't have done in the past.
As a heads-up, there's one S-bomb, so if that will bother you, feel free to skip this one. But I think it's an important episode regardless and hope you'll listen.
011 // Multitasking is Not a Thing
In this episode, I remind you that multitasking is not a thing. I talk about how not doing it leads to getting more done even if you don’t think it will. I also discuss how it stems from basing our worth on how productive we are and how it’s led to perfectionism and burnout. So let’s talk about how to stop doing this in order to live a happier and healthier life.
010 // Focus & Goals
In this episode, I dive into why we need to focus on one goal at a time with small steps along the way. It may seem counterintuitive or like we won’t get anything done, but we get absolutely nothing done if we’re super unfocused. But I promise you that a clear focus goes a long way. Let's chat.
Mentioned in this episode:
009 // Patterns in Your Behavior
In this episode, we’re talking about patterns in behavior - particularly negative ones when it comes to work, relationships, and making decisions. I worked on my awareness around these negative patterns, so I hope it helps you take a peek into yours.
Mentioned in this episode:
008 // When Your Creative Well Is Dry
In this episode, I talk about realizing that my creative well is bone dry. I also get pretty deeply personal about my feelings around my creative endeavors, burnout, and my money mindset. I nearly decided not to publish this one, but I'm doing it anyway in the hope that it helps you realize you're not alone if you feel like you're a mess. Hugs. :)
Mentioned in this episode:
007 // Expectation
In this episode, we examine expectation - what it is, four different types we deal with in our lives, and how each affects us negatively. I hope this episode helps you pinpoint different ways expectation might be weighing you down and show you that, with one question, we can eliminate some expectations to help us live a life we love.
Mentioned in this episode:
006 // Perfection
In this episode, we dive into perfection - what it is, where I think mine comes from, and how I work with it instead of against it. I hope this episode inspires you to take a look at your own perfectionist tendencies and give yourself permission to start small, commit to less, and suck sometimes. Let’s do it.
