Living on your own is hard. It’s lonely. It can also be liberating.

In this episode, I share what it’s been like living alone—from the discomfort of finding your independence and making friends in a new city to financial woes and more. Consider this episode a look into the reality of living alone (mostly the messy side) and why I think it’s an experience we all ought to have at some point to really get to know ourselves.

Why do we overeat? And where do feelings of guilt around food come from? In this episode, we unpack the raw and messy reality of what it's like to struggle with binge eating and real talk on how to break the cycle. Our relationship with food tells us something about our physical and mental state—and when it comes to disordered eating patterns, it’s rarely about the food. From dismissing food rules to seeking to understand ourselves better, I share experiences of my own in hopes to let you know that you CAN move forward and you are not alone <3

So you’re dissatisfied with your life and feel like you should be happy? Here’s some tough love.

This episode addresses how in trying to get ahead and become the highest version of ourselves, we can easily get lost and forget where we are. After having a mini-breakdown, I wanted to open a dialogue on the uglier side of personal growth as a reminder that it’s TOTALLY OKAY to not have everything figured out. None of us do. And we have to accept that in order to find peace, to be present, to be.

When it comes to love, is the timing EVER right? 

I recently learned that the short answer is yes and no. There’s a difference between being open to a relationship and actually seeking one. This episode is about the latter. We walk through 7 signs you’re not ready for a relationship. This is dating advice that I used myself to reflect and can hopefully help you avoid a head-over-heels mess of your own—although that is, after all, how we learn.
