Thib Talks

In one way or another, we're all storytellers. But how do we set ourselves up to tell stories the best way we can?

In today's conversation, Raven and I talk about navigating life as a creative so that set yourself up for success as a storyteller. We talk about everything from the importance of creative community and having your own definition os success to being present and focusing on authentically sharing your story.

I've noticed that lately, I've been putting myself in a box. Forcing myself to fit into one category when in reality, I'm never going to be able to be just one thing, or choose one thing!( Ask me about my favorite anything and you'll see I give at least 5 answers)

In today's conversation I talk about what led me to always trying to categorize myself, how I saw it affecting me, and how I've changed my perspective.

I think we all know by now that music is a huge part of my identity. And, that I have my headphones on almost 24/7. So naturally, I needed to talk with someone who listens to music as much as I do (if not more). 

In today's conversation, I'm joined by Noah from the NativeNoah podcast and we're talking all about music! Everything from supporting your favorite artists and what makes an artist our favorite, to opinions on music videos and current concert etiquette. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR! (I may be a little late, but I still wanted to say it!)

In today's conversation, I'm catching you up on the last couple weeks of my life and sharing my reflections from the first few weeks of the new year. I talk about healthy relationships, putting into practice the lessons that I've been learning, and really understanding that no one is going to live my life for me, so I have to live out loud. 

Lately I've been feeling afraid of a lot of things, especially imperfection. This fear has been affecting so many areas of my life lately, and to be honest- I'm over it. In today's conversation, we're talking about the lens I've been viewing myself through and shifts that I've made in my mindset to take power back from fear. But...would you believe me if I said all this started because of some piercings?

This weeks conversation is all about music! I'm covering everything from my thoughts on recent Grammy nominations to slightly traumatizing concert experiences to what I've learned about labelling yourself in the music industry. 

Hello you beautiful people!! I'm BACK!! In today's episode, after a long hiatus, I'm putting it all on the table; everything from where I've been, why I've been struggling with uploading recently, all the way to why I even started this podcast in the first place. I share my heart behind Thib Talks and I how I want it to be in the near future.  

Its been a little bit since I've done a solo episode! I've been reflecting a lot on the last few weeks (surprise, surprise!) and I'm sharing what I've processed with you! In today's conversation, I talk about taking a break from social media and why I feel like it's been helping me, life slowing down, and working on becoming softer inside and out. 

I had this idea- what if I was the guest on my own show and someone else completely ran the episode? From choosing the topic to coming upwith questions, even doing the intro, someone else would do it all! That's what today's episode is- the Thib Talks Takeover, hosted by Sam Lopez! 

We've got a guest on the podcast this week!! In today's conversation Alexa Martin and I talk about everything from using your own obstacles to help others, overcoming intimidation, the mindset of an athlete, and how labelling can sometimes be a good thing. 

Identity is something that I think we all subconsciously know is important, but we're not totally sure why. A wise man, aka rapper Beleaf, once said; "You have to know who you are otherwise they'll tell you who you are." This something that has happened to me! In today's conversation I'm sharing some of my personal struggles with identity and why I think it's so important to understand who you are. 

I'm back!! It's been way too long since I've talked with you guys! For today's episode, we're catching up and I'm sharing some life lessons with you as I reflect on 19 things that I have learned at age 19. 

9 times out of 10, being a creative is amazing. But it does come with its hard moments.  How do you find the motivation to keep pursuing your purpose in hard seasons? What do you do to stay sane in busy times? What's the 'why' behind the things that you do? These are just a couple of the thing that Chy Ruch and I talk about in today's episode! 

This last week was a roller coaster, to say the least. Times like these it seems like there's a million little thoughts running around and I just need to get them all out into the open. But in today's conversation we talk about continuing to move forward and keeping your emotions in check, despite their protests. 

Maybe it's just me, but I want to do everything all the time. I want to learn every skill possible and help every person I see. Essentially I want to be all things to all people. But after some reflecting this week, I've learned that isn't a healthy mindset to have and there's a much better way to live. 

I think we may have covered almost every topic in this episode! This week I'm joined by Julia Cummings; seasoned creative, event planner, traveler and as she says "your favorite Blasian". We talk about all about creativity and how to navigate feelings of insecurity in the creative space, being strong in your own identity, and how to navigate the many seasons that arise in life. 

Insecurity is something that we all deal with from time to time. Unfortunately this has been something on my mind pretty heavily these last few weeks, but after some time to think, I've found some ways to combat those thoughts. In today's conversation I'm telling you guys some truths that I've learned when it comes to insecurity and how to change your perspective when negative thoughts come. 

I have a very special guest with me this week! One of my closest (and oldest) friends, Grace Cram! Grace and I talk about how we've changed our definition of friendship and what we've learned through long distance friendships like ours. We also talk about the different types of people that we've had in our own lives and what we wish our younger selves would have known. 

This last week had me feeling scatterbrained! My thoughts were all over the place but thankfully, after a while I was able to gather them and bring myself back down to earth. In today's episode, I want to share with you guys how I put my mind back into a good headspace and stay grounded. 

I think it's about time we had a new series on the podcast! This weeks episode is the first in a collection of talks I'm calling 'Friendship tales and fails'. For this first talk, I'm sharing an important key that I've learned in friendship; understanding where and how you get your energy. 

Happy New Year beautiful people!! To kick off the new year, I'm sharing 7 things that I learned in these past several months that I want to you all to know. These are simple little things that I promise will have a huge impact on your mentality and perspective.

In today's episode, I'm joined by my new friend Sam Lopez! We talk (and joke) about some of the struggles that come with being a Com major, but also, a lot of the things that we've learned through our classes. We also reflect on our college experience up to senior year and share some things we wish we would've known. 

I know, I know, I haven't uploaded in a while. Be patient with me guys!! Today's episode is a little shorter, but one that I still think is important. I'm giving you 5 reminders that I want you to carry with you into this next week. 

This week I'm joined by Ximena Idrovo, and we're learning all about Ecuadorian culture! Ximena and I talk about her favorite traditions and foods from her culture, what helps her keep her motivation to pursue her dreams, and how she wants to use STEM to be an advocate for the Hispanic community. 

Translation: I'm not from here, but I'm not from there. 

For today's episode, I'm joined by another special guest, Roberto Vargasz! In today's episode, we talk about what is was like for him living in 2 different countries at important ages in his life, what it was like adjusting to life here in the U.S, and how he's learned to find his identity. 

The idea of sustainability seems to be coming up all the time nowadays, with everything from re-usable straws to stylish cloth tote bags. But what does it really mean to be sustainable? And why is it something that GenZ seems to care so much about? This week I'm joined by my friend (and roommate!) Alexa Carrera! We talk all about the environment and the 'why' behind sustainability, Guatemalan food and culture, and much more. 

I'm back!! After a long(ish) break, I'm back with a new episode! In today's episode, I'm talking all about rest and reflection; what I've been learning about it, how it's helped me to be more confident and productive, and I'm making it a part of my daily routine. 

I bring up the topic of seasons a lot, but I haven't ever explained what seasons of life mean to me. In this episode, I talk about what it means to be in a season of life and how I've learned to navigate all the changes that they bring. 

I've had this phrase stuck in my head all week long, 'All you have is all you need'. In today's episode, I'm breaking down what I think this means, how it's applied to my life recently and how it relates to the fear of starting something new.

There's another Thib in this week's episode! Today I'm joined by my brother Parker and we talk all about college. We cover some of his favorite memories, ways that college made him grow, and things that he wishes he would've known now that he's out into the real world. 

If you didn't know I'm a One Tree Hill fan, now you know. This week, I'm sharing my thoughts on the Drama Queens Podcast (started by OTH actresses Hillary Burton, Sophia Bush and Bethany Joy Lenz) and how their conversations influenced my perspective on pursuing your dreams. 

This week, I'm getting a little more vulnerable with you guys. In today's episode I talk about some of the emotions I've been feeling this week, how I've learned (and am still learning) to control my emotions rather than letting them control me, and how I deal with fear. 

It's such a big trend right now to have a 'Hot Girl Summer', but what does that actually look like? And how can that mentality have a negative affect? Today I sit and talk with you all about my currently mentality for this summer, how and why I feel like I've been making the most of this time and how to deal with the pressures of social media. 

On this week's episode we're having another creative conversation, only this time I'm joined by Max Lopez! We talk about why we love poetry, how we use it in our lives and Max shares a few of his pieces.
