You Only Live Once. Are you the one skydiving off the airplane or are you sitting on the ground with 911 on speed dial? I feel like "yolo" has been used to justify reckless behavior, but it can also be just the push to get us out of our comfort zones and taking risks. In this week's episode, I discuss times when it's good and bad to be spontaneous, how the yolo mindset can help us conquer a fear of rejection / embarrassment, and my overall thoughts on this popular "screw it" attitude.

2 words to describe thrifting-- ready, set, GO! Sustainable and stylish.

Making this podcast was no easy task: like every goal, it required lots of planning and preparation. Starting to work towards a goal can seem like a daunting project, but in this episode I walk you through how to set a goal meaningful to YOU, what makes a goal attainable, and hopefully give you the motivation to begin working! (I now make little checklists for everything in my life-- it truly does help.)

For a lot of people, going back to school can be very stress-inducing. I talk about my personal school anxieties, as well as reasons some of those worries won't be so bad! :) I also discuss academic validation, things I enjoy about school, and advice if you are returning to school soon. Remember to stay organized, join extracurriculars you enjoy, and reach out for help!

I could never predict that a beach prank would lead to this episode, but here we are. In today's episode, I discuss conformity's impact on society-- how it influences current home design patterns, fashion trends, and our own unique interests. (Although even I am guilty of falling into the "everyone has this, so I need it" mindset). I also touch on how cults and politics use conformity to their advantage as well as tips to avoid conformity.

Cw: this episode contains brief mentions of rape. It's safe to say I am still completely heartbroken over SCOTUS' decisions regarding abortion in the US, but I took this as an opportunity to speak about women's rights and internalized misogyny in society. I won't lie to you-- this is a heavy episode, but it is important that I discussed what internalized misogyny looks like to everyday women and celebrities, how to correct our thinking, and to recognize sexism in our own lives. 10/10 recommend T...

(ITS BY BDAY!!!) Besides that, this episode was inspired by my guilt for being lazy/doing nothing during the summer. After I finish rambling about Stranger Things, I go through the common occurrences of FOMO, self-disappointment, and self-comparison that arise each summer. Plus, fun things you can do to fill all the time! Hello from 15yo me ;)

As you can tell based on my many rants this episode, makeup and its effect on us is something I could go on about forever. In today's episode, I discuss the dangerous effects of makeup, how the beauty industry utilizes those effects, but also why makeup can be a good thing. Surprisingly, my Utah trip taught me a lot about my self worth! :)

You guys seemed to like the first one of these episodes, so I'm back with part 2! In this assortment of topics, I discuss the value in learning another language (Deutsch für mich), why therapy should be normalized, the Trolley Ethical Dilemma, if money can truly buy happiness, & a short but sweet opinion on textbooks. As always-- viel Spaß! ;)

I've been dying to make an episode about my music taste for a while now, and I'm excited to share my playlists, fave artists, and song recommendations with you guys in this episode. Of course by this time next week, I'll probably have 5 new playlists and 100 more favorite songs, but for now I give you all my music opinions, and I also conquered my indecisiveness by choosing my favorite artists (in order) AND my top 5 fave songs of theirs. Enjoy this chaotic episode!

Reflect back on your life for this question. Have you recently bought a new shirt, gotten a new hairstyle, or gone an inch out of your comfort zone and asked someone you know what they thought of said action? Why is it so hard to just do what we want? Sometimes we're scared of being judged (we = me) or are seeking validation from others, but at the end of the day you should be doing what makes YOU happy. This episode is slightly unorganized, but what can I say? It's exam season :D

I'm back from Florida!!! I read 4 books in 6 days on my trip, but sadly had no one to discuss them with. So I'm discussing them with you guys, along with why reading is so crucial in this day and age. Books and short stories teach us so many valuable lessons and help us understand complex social issues in a simple "he said" "she said". Picking up a book is like opening your eyes to a whole new world...

I think we're all feeling the seasonal depression right now. The gloomy weather and cold has been catching up to me, and I'm honestly at my breaking point. In this episode I talk about seasonal depression, why it happens, & ways to push through it. Cold weather directly affects our mood, self-confidence, and general happiness in so many ways. Can summer just be here already? If you like this episode, feel free to leave a rating on Apple Podcasts!

This episode is part 2/2 on friendship. I dive into the whole subject of gossip, including harmful gossip vs. harmless gossip and having friends that gossip. I also discuss fighting with friends & how to resolve those conflicts (whatever u do, DO NOT fight over text!), as well as losing friends and feeling pressured to give your friends good advice. Some advice of my own-- you are not their therapist! And does anyone else sometimes get annoyed at people for no reason?

In honor of Valentine's day, this episode is all about friendship. I answer the question "how do you make new friends?"

This episode is part 1 of 2. I also hope you enjoy my *interesting* stories from my time in middle school...

I think we can all agree 12 year olds now don't look like us when we were 12. Kids (especially girls) are growing up faster than ever, but why is that exactly? In this episode I delve into all of society's pressures on young girls to act more mature. Whether that's social media, the film industry, adults, or makeup companies, they all have devastating effects on the younger generation-- and their self confidence.

This episode is slightly different from the others. Instead of covering one topic, I share a collection of my latest thoughts. Some mini-topics I discuss are John Watson's Little Albert experiment & how phobias/other behaviors can be conditioned, the connection music has to our mood & personality, and the importance in saying NO. I hope you like this style episode! Follow @andeverythinginbetweenpodcast on Instagram for more.

Since it's officially 2022, I wanted to make an episode covering New Year's and all of the customs that come with it. Resolutions, new year "new me" (plus why that phrase needs to go), and feeling like crap because your year wasn't all rainbows & unicorns. Hopefully this episode also inspires some ideas for YOUR New Year resolutions list. Follow @andeverythinginbetweenpodcast on Instagram for more.

I promise this episode is interesting. What actually happens when we die? We all have our own theories, but no one actually knows. Can people really be classified as just good or bad people? Are twin flames real-- and where do they come from? In this episode I hypothesize over EVERYTHING afterlife related, and discuss lessons learned from books where the main character.... is dead.

Does anyone else feel like each day is dragged on and on, and you're just DONE with life? Same.

I was SO SICK this past week, but anyways... I'm better now! Hanukkah is a mere 3 weeks away, and Christmas is less than 2 months away. (Although you'd think it's tomorrow based on how all the stores look.) The holidays bring a lot of greed when you're shopping, creating a wishlist, or looking at other people's wishlists. When does that greed go too far... and what happens when it does? Follow @andeverythinginbetweenpodcast on Instagram for more.

I've come to accept that my phone is an addiction for me, and whether I'm on it with friends, during my free time, or when I'm trying to get work done, I always feel drained afterwards. I only recently realized what it's going to take to get off my phone (and for you to get off it too!!!) Follow @andeverythinginbetweenpodcast on Instagram for more.
