Additionally, I discuss what I have been doing to try to rediscover the magic in simply existing, as well as a few exciting backend podcast changes that will be taking place this upcoming week. 

In today's episode, I am embracing my contrarian spirit by challenging the current online trend to share your current struggles in an effort to be perceived as more authentic and/or relatable. Additionally, I touch on being an indecisive bitch who can't settle on bathroom tiles, my official review of Hocus Pocus 2, and the importance of knowing your boundaries, as well as your personal purpose for posting, and not allowing either of those things to be compromised by what's popular.

Current Events Mentioned

In today's episode, I am haphazardly sharing my thoughts on the online healing and self-improvement space, as well as the wide array of aesthetics that are associated with that niche (i.e., clean girl, hot girl, it girl, and that girl). Additionally, I touch on being in my Joanna Gaines era, creating a healthy distance from social media as both a creator and consumer of content, and understanding that you have the power to be the sole pioneer of your personal journey.

Together, we discuss building community online, healing from years of self-neglect, and uncomplicating the conversation around mental health.

In today's episode, I am recounting the various traumatic events that took place during my undergraduate internship experience. Please keep in mind that both domestic violence and sexual assault are mentioned multiple times throughout this story.

In today's episode, things get rowdy as I walk you through my running list of things that I strongly dislike (AKA hate). Some may call them hot takes, but I think of this as an unhinged opportunity for you to get to know me better because the things we don't fuck with mean something. Additionally, I touch on learning to cut myself breaks without feeling guilty, embracing fluidity in my identity and how I label myself, and hitting 3,000 Ambivalent Bitches on TikTok.

In today's episode, I am joined by Kara Bergerstock, a clinical psychology doctoral student currently living in Chicago.

Additionally, Kara opens up about how therapy has changed her life for the better, the importance of social justice and cultural diversity in her studies and work, having an abortion alone as a teen and how that affected the trajectory of her life, moving to Chicago, and having the opportunity to explore her bisexuality, ethnicity, and other parts of her identity in a new environment.

Additionally, I touch on the challenges of being a puppy/dog owner, entering my 24th year of existence, and not having a driver's license.  

In today's episode, I speak about the impact of the SCOTUS's decision to overturn Roe Versus Wade, which was a landmark decision that made access to abortion a constitutional right for individuals with uteruses across the nation for the past 49 years. Additionally, I discuss influencer silence, white privilege and white savior complex, and ways to get involved in the fight for reproductive freedom and justice for all.  

Reproductive Healthcare Resources

In today's episode, I am joined by my good friend and spiritual hypnotist, Merci Hypnosis. Together, we discuss the need for change in the digital spiritual community, the realization that you do not need to be "healed" in order to help others on their journeys, and why leaning into uncertainty and uncomfortability is essential for growth. Additionally, Merci opens up about the traumatic loss of her father, learning to listen to and trust her intuition, discovering her true purpose, and the significance of mental health awareness and integration in her work.   

In today's episode, I talk about being fearful of social media growth, realizing that one's existence has value regardless of what they may or may not have accomplished, and learning to accept and appreciate constructive criticism. Additionally, I speak on getting “canceled” by the cosplay community on Instagram, getting #Krissed on TikTok, and Lizzo taking accountability and action in response to the use of harmful terminology in her new single. Further, I wrap up this episode with a new weekly segment where I challenge the Ambivalent Bitches to be more introspective by asking an open-ended question.

In today's episode, I introduce a new weekly segment where I discuss something that I have recently been feeling indecisive about. This week, the hot topic is batch versus intuitive content creation! Additionally, I talk about prioritizing self-care during heavy times of collective trauma, my annual ritual of crying on my birthday, and why I believe Sadie Sink's character in Stranger Things, Max, is a fellow Moon Child.  

In today's episode, I speak candidly about the importance of celebrating small wins, the intersectionality of mental health and activism, and potentially kick-starting a waxing series on TikTok.

Additionally, I touch on the disheartening news of the very likely overturning of Roe v. Wade, my Curology journey, and taking a necessary step back from social media. 

In today's episode, I essentially give you all a brain dump of the last 24 hours. Additionally, I get into how it has felt to be seen and validated by a large influx of people on the internet, the seemingly universal experience of pondering one's existence starting in early childhood, and the power that being vulnerable holds. 

In today's episode, I talk about a variety of topics ranging from virality not being the move to the fucking realness of endorphins.

In today's episode, a light-hearted convo about recent events in pop culture and my personal life is had. Additionally, I dive into a very vulnerable discussion about my experiences leading up to grad school, my time as a student in NYU's Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness Master's program, and the factors that propelled me to take the leap and walk away. 

In today's episode, I give listeners a small glimpse into my mind by explaining why and how the podcast came to fruition, the meaning behind the podcast name, and what to expect moving forward.
