Join me as I unfold my own dance with apathy and the strategies I've embraced to reignite my zest for life.

Overcoming Lack of Motivation

Speaker 1

What is up you guys ? Welcome back to another episode of the Bible's Nonsense podcast . Today is going to be an episode kind of like a stream of consciousness thoughts , if you will .

It's going to be more almost journal entry , like like I'm reading from a journal , just because I was feeling a little uninspired to put out an episode just in my meh phase , if you will . So I'm going to talk a little bit about that .

So if you're interested in how I pull myself out of those uninspired moments or quote , unquote what I call meh , like I'm just blah , like nothing's really good , nothing's really bad , that's what this episode is going to be about today . So stay tuned . So what is up you guys ? How are we doing ? I hope this audio is okay .

I get nervous because last week when I was recording my solo episode , I heard like a really loud pop , which it's done before when I was in New York and then the audio was just horrendous . But when I'm listening back the audio seems okay . So if it does sound different I apologize , but hopefully it sounds okay for you guys .

It's just I record differently when I have guests versus when I'm solo . Like I record on my computer when I'm solo , just because it's easier just to record into the audio garage band so that I can edit as I go .

But I can also , like , see the spikes and if I'm being too loud , whatnot , whereas with my equipment that's really good equipment I just have to write down times and then go back and edit . That way it's not a lot of editing . I just don't . When I do solos , I really just don't want to go back and listen to myself . That's what it comes down to .

So , again , I hope this audio is okay , but what is up ? Welcome back . I hope everyone had a blessed and happy Easter . If you do celebrate , I feel like I had a very lovely Easter . I watch church from home , which don't crucify me Like . I completely understand . Watching church from home versus going to church is different .

Number one I just really don't like crowds . Like I go to Summit Crossings here in Madison and I just really don't like crowds Like I go to Summit Crossings here in Madison and I just really don't like crowds .

Our pastor is wonderful , though , and they are very accepting , and I'm very happy that they do have online church for , like , when you're sick or things like that and you just can't get there . But in this situation .

With it being Easter , it's almost like for me , like that panicking of like I don't like going to the gym at New Year's because , even though I go to the gym regularly , that busy moment I just don't love it . But anyways , I watched from home . It was a lovely service . I still participated by myself with my dog , and it was a great service .

And then I got to go to my friend , friend Mal's house , which I always go to her parents house for holidays and things like that , and we had a great lunch . We ate some delicious food . Her sister is vegan , so I typically eat their stuff , like she's now going gluten free , so we eat a lot of vegan , gluten free things .

And then , of course , I eat some meats , but she doesn't care . I'm still trying to get her on the podcast just to have like an episode about being vegan , because she's been vegan for so long and just like the differences and what people think it is versus what it actually is , so maybe one day I can talk her into it .

She keeps telling me no every time I ask her , but maybe we could Also had some delicious gluten-free desserts that she made . And then I bought a strawberry cake from Mason Dixon , which is a bakery here , local to Huntsville . If you ever come to Huntsville , visit Huntsville if you're gluten free , even if you're not .

They have some delicious food Highly , highly recommend . She's also been on the podcast and since having her on the podcast , that has made me love her and her bakery even more . So what else happened ? This weekend I had a psychic reading from my good friend , chris Medina . I do that like once a year .

He's just amazing and he truly is gifted and I highly , highly , highly , if you like , have been thinking about a psychic reading . Definitely recommend him . Look him up on Instagram . Be cautious , there are fake accounts out there . He will never solicit you on Instagram or anything like that .

You have to go to his website , book a reading and then it's all through email . So don't ever fall for anything in your DMs because he just doesn't do that . But anyways , nothing really to report on the reading .

I've kind of been in this cycle with myself for a few years on what I'm going through mentally like whether it be career relationships , house goals , things like that .

So nothing new that he really reported , other than he just really reiterated and drove home some things that I've been struggling with in my personal life and he like re-mentioned conversations that I had with some people recently that nobody else would have known because I didn't tell even my closest friends those conversations .

And he like re-mentioned conversations that I had with some people recently that nobody else would have known because I didn't tell even my closest friends those conversations . And he like said , like this one line that I exactly said , and I was just like , how did you know that ?

And he was like , well , of course you already knew this , but it's just for me to reiterate so that you remember what you said . And I was like , well , that makes sense . So basically , I got to get out of my own damn way to get things done . We all do . That just is what it is . So let's get to the topic .

For today I'm going to be fully transparent with you guys . Keeping it real , I have been lacking motivation , and not just with the podcast motivation , but just in general . And no , I would not say that I am depressed .

Now , I know some people when they have like a motivation , that may be depression , and if that is you , in that case I truly recommend seeking help , because this podcast is not to give any type of psychiatric advice .

This is just kind of my own personal experience in me feeling that lack of motivation or that lack of like , like get up and go type thing , if you will .

So since I'm lacking motivation , I thought that , well , why don't we just turn that lack of motivation into some inspiration and make it into a topic on the podcast , because I'm sure others have felt that way , maybe feel that way or can relate in some fashion ?

Because I feel like no one and if you are , I feel like no one is truly 100% all the time , up , up , up , and if you are good for you , like I would love to be that person that's just so positive , never has a down moment , can turn anything that's negative into a positive . I'm working and striving to be there . I am just not there yet .

If y'all hear some rambunctiousness in the background , that is my chihuahua . Every time I sit down to record , she decides to run a marathon in the room that I'm recording in . So she's now finally settled down . So maybe she'll just stop for a little bit .

But anyways , going back to the topic , like , just when I say meh , I mean like M-E-H , like just blah , like not really good , not really bad .

You know , I've been very open on this podcast about mental health , with depression and anxiety , relationships , woes , whatever you want to say , like I try to be as open as I can or what I feel comfortable being open about .

Obviously , everyone has to keep some things private , especially when it's involving other people , because it's not always fully the story to tell . But , like I said , if you've never experienced that feeling , I'm truly happy for you , because it's kind of hard to describe .

It's those moments where you're like I'm not happy but I'm not sad , but I just don't want to do anything . But I'll do it because I have to and that's what adults do , right ? So like I can't just sit on my couch and eat bonbons all day because shit won't get done , bills won't get paid .

So you get up and you do things that you have to do , but it's more of like I'm just walking through life because that's what I'm supposed to do , type feeling . Um , now , some days I would be like 1000% would love to just sit on the couch and binge Netflix and be content with that .

And you know , speaking of content or contentment , you know when I've had conversations with me and you , who is the energy healer that I work with , she's done co-hosting with the podcast with me . I'm going to bring her back and maybe this would be a great topic to talk to her about . But she says that feeling really isn't a meh like a meh like a .

It's more of a contentment feeling .

And because I have grown up with a childhood of just chaos and I'm constantly like thinking I need to be doing something or constantly thinking I need to be catching someone's attention , that when I go through those moments of not feeling that way , then I feel somewhat down because it's not my norm , even though it's still a healthy feeling .

It gets confusing in my brain because I'm like , just like I said , like that I grew up in chaos . I thrive in chaos if I have a lot to do , actually really thrive .

So if I'm going through a moment in my life where there's just not a lot to do whether it be , you know , work , slowing down I should really enjoy those moments and just be like , oh great , because you never know , like everything ebbs and flows right .

It's like it could just come up again where you have too much to do , but when I typically thrive in those moments . So , yes , I know that sounds crazy , but but beyond that , to me it's just more of a coming from a place of lack or lack of motivation , and really that just can come from anywhere .

So like I try to ask myself , like where is this coming from ? Is it do ? Am I depressed ? Am I feeling depressed ?

And usually I know , if I'm feeling a little down or depressed , which I'm like no , that's not it , like I can't really put my hand on it , which again it's probably just contentment , like I'm just content with how things are , and it's just a weird feeling to me which I need to start embracing and I know that .

But I try to like look inward and say , like what is this coming from ? Am I exhausted ? Am I overworking ? Am I having some burnout ? Is it truly depression or anxiety ? Is it just a situational moment ? What am I going through in my life ? Am I going through a dating hiccup ?

Am I going through breakups , like feeling uninspired with the podcast , or am I just overwhelmed and therefore I'm telling myself I have no motivation because I'm like too much to do , let's sit down . Usually not the last one for me , because , like I said , if I'm overwhelmed I actually kind of get inspiration from that . I don't know why I just do Again .

Probably from my childhood , you know now that I think about it . This is something I really think I'm going to get me new on the podcast to talk about , because like to talk about this with someone who you know , teaches or works through these things with people . She would be a really good person to have on to discuss this .

Also , though , some medical conditions could even have you feeling that way . Like I know , I struggle with thyroid issues , and so sometimes when my thyroid is kind of low , I feel a little bit more like I don't really care to do anything .

Today , I'm sure currently , what mine is stemming from unless it's truly , like I said , just contentment , because things are , in my opinion , going pretty well . I know I do have a tendency to be like okay , things are well . When is that other drop coming ?

Like , when is this quote , unquote goodness going to end , and so maybe I'm just looking for that and just feeling a little different . I don't know . I really truly don't know . Some say that speaking things into fruition . Others say that is intuition . Jury still out on which one I believe . Maybe a little of both , but I don't know .

Regardless , I haven't had much happening , which is good but leaves me uninspired for creative outlets Me and that's Kenny talks about this on her episode of the podcast where sometimes , like when you are a creative which she had to help me understand that , having this podcast , I am a creative when I was like , oh , wow , okay , maybe I am Because you have to be

creative to keep people inspired and , you know , feeling joy from the episodes or maybe laughing at the episodes and maybe it's you want it to be captivate , captivating so that they don't turn it off . And then sometimes you're just like , well , I just don't have it in me to do that today .

But I do have a lot of events coming up this weekend , in the next couple weeks , this weekend in particular , going to have a couple girls nights to go out and celebrate for some upcoming birthdays . So maybe the inspo will hit then and I'll have a lot to talk about . Hopefully nothing dramatic happens , but if it does , I guess you'll hear about it .

Regardless of what , the why is behind that feeling , the thing I typically try to focus on is getting out of it , because to me it's coming from a place like I feel like this is negative . Again , it may not , it may just be contentment , which is neither negative or positive and what works for me doesn't work for everyone .

So I try to find inspiration , like out in other things , like whether that be podcast

Exploring TikTok, Health, and Medical Medium

. I get on social media , which I know they say not to do , but I do , like you know , just passing time , like where I'm scrolling reels or TikTok videos . You know that might spark some interest in me to like debate something or research a topic . Further Lately , my TikTok feed because , like I said , guys , I don't typically just get on TikTok to scroll .

If I'm going to TikTok I use it as a Google search because it gives you short videos quickly . I used to do that on YouTube , which I still do on YouTube , but YouTube's videos are longer .

So I just get on TikTok and like type in , like like last week , for instance , when I was doing the Love is Blind topic and relationships , like type in love is blind season six , into the research bar , get all these short little videos to kind of get a recap on everything , to remind myself .

And then when I do that , like my TikTok feed then shows me like other relationship advice , whether it be like right now , for whatever reason . My TikTok feed is about relationship attachment styles . If you don't know what those are . That's like an avoidant attachment style , anxious attachment style , anxiously avoidant .

And then there's like the healthy attachment style , and I think it's doing that because , I typed in , love is blonde . I'm not really sure .

Maybe it's because me and my friend send videos back and forth about funny , like relationship things , just because of what she's going through , and so we'll send each other and like what I'm , what I've been through , like we'll send each other things that kind of relate and they're kind of funny . So they're usually about relationships .

So that could be why my feed is like that . I'm not really sure . I don't know how TikTok algorithm or Instagram algorithm works . To be honest , it seems to be changing every day , but anyway , so like I'll just , I'll just , if I'm like I'll just try to find inspiration , right , like I'll just go out and be like what topic can I speak on today ?

And then other times things just happen in my life where I'm just like I am really gonna drive this home . I'm going to talk about it .

As you'll have noticed , like last week I was like haven't done one of these episodes in a while , so talked about relationships last week and that was just something that I was personally going through in my personal life , so it was just easy to do . Other things I try to do is like dive deeper into health topics , because I'm really into health .

I don't talk about it a lot on this podcast and probably probably should , but I really do love like working out and eating nutritiously and learning about different types of diets or foods or whatever . I love going down a rabbit hole on thyroid health and hormone health and that's probably because I'm just genuinely interested in it .

Since I currently have thyroid and hormone dysfunction , I'm always looking for like what , what can I do to heal ? How can I heal what's out there that I haven't heard of ? Because you know , medicine changes all the time , which , speaking of that , I'm going to go off on a different little , not tangent but like topic here .

I was introduced to the medical medium recently . I don't know if anyone has ever heard of the medical medium , but I . It was just interesting how it was brought up to me . I was having the consult which I talked about , my plastic surgery to my eyes .

I had a consult with an oculoplastic surgeon in Tampa a few weeks ago and I just mentioned to her you know I have thyroid issues and autoimmune issues and asked her if she thought that's why I keep having this condition with my eyes and she was like you really should look up the medical medium .

He's helped thousands and millions of people , like even celebrities . So I was like , oh okay , like what is this Like ? I'll look it up . So this guy apparently can speak to spirits about your health and he knows what's wrong and how to fix it . He has several books . There's probably , like any condition you have , you could probably look up a book .

Um , I know this may be too woo woo for some people and like whatever it . Just listen if you want to skip past this portion , if you want . But I do believe in higher levels of beings on earth . I mean , let's be honest , the Bible talks about prophets who prophesize the future .

So why can't other people have gifts to speak like to spirits and or see the future Like ? I truly believe people have gifts . Now I don't know , I just I do . I do believe it . Anyways , you don't have to believe it , that's just my belief , regardless of what you believe in .

I recently went down that rabbit hole of like the whole medical mediums stuff because he has a book on thyroid healing . So I was like , okay , let me read , read his book , or whatnot ? Listen to his book , look it up , read his book , or whatnot ? Listen to his book , look it up .

And it brought out some interesting like perspectives , one in which I've never considered before . So long story short , to not like make this whole podcast about the medical medium . He believes that the EBV virus , which is the mono virus , is the root cause of thyroid dysfunction .

And like he even says , like you may not even know that you had mono because some , like you know , everyone's virus hits them differently , just like the flu does , just like COVID did .

And he goes on to say that like research kind of stopped before its time and people or researchers didn't continue researching , showing that EBV virus is in stages , there's different stages , and he says like it starts in the liver .

If says like it starts in the liver , if you're like , if it progresses past the liver , if it can't like detox itself out , then then it goes to the thyroid and then it progresses to the brain and the neurological system . So like , obviously , if it goes to the thyroid , you can have thyroid dysfunction , hypothyroidism , hashimoto's .

If it goes to the brain , to the neurological system , you can have things like MS , and so I continue to read this book and he's like talking about how your body just wants to heal itself and there's other pathways for the body to compensate for thyroid dysfunction . And I was like , okay , well , that logically makes sense Because , like , organs regrow .

Like if you cut out half your liver , it can regenerate . So I was like that makes sense . And then like his perspective on autoimmune diseases . So if you don't know what autoimmune disease is , that is where , quote unquote , the body attacks itself . So they call it autoimmune . Your body's attacking itself For whatever reason .

Whatever triggered that autoimmune response in yourself . His version is that why would the body attack itself ? He , he's like it wouldn't . It tries to naturally heal itself . So this EBV virus is in your thyroid or wherever , like in your joints , and wherever your autoimmune disease may be in your body is attacking the actual virus , not the organ .

So I was just like I mean that kind of makes sense , like why would your body attack ? Just like all of a sudden be like my body is foreign to me . That doesn't .

I mean , medically speaking it doesn't really make sense , but we just go with it Because that's what we're told , right , that , especially like in medical school or nursing school , that's what we're told . So I was like , okay , I can continue to go with this .

And of course , like his , his side is like you can heal your body with foods and you really shouldn't take medicine for this . And I that's where I'm kind of like I don't know , I don't know what I believe . Like I get what he's saying . Like people out there with hypothyroidism are walking around taking medication and still feeling hypothyroid .

But then my part is is like are they optimal ? Are they on the right medication ? Are they on the right dose ?

Because I'm on thyroid medication and , quote , knock on wood , my symptoms are pretty much at bay , because I stay optimal , because I am very fortunate that I have a doctor and a nurse practitioner that listen to me and my symptoms and don't just look at me in lab values . I also advocate for myself and get all my thyroid labs drawn .

But also part of me is like that functional side of me . I'm like , well , I mean I get it like food is supposed to be healing , like people healed with food way before medicine ever advanced the way it did . So I don't know . I'm going to keep reading , going to keep trying to see where my opinion lies .

But if you're interested in that sort of thing and it's not too woo woo for you , highly recommend medical medium to check out . Again , this is not medical advice . You do what you want . Talk to your doctor before you do anything that he recommends . But it's just something I was diving into to kind of get myself out of this lack of motivation and it worked .

But I read the book in a week , so now I need another book . But other things I tend to do to get myself out of that mood is dive more into other things in the health world .

So I do try to continue to focus on my workouts and my steps , like even when I'm like , oh , I do not , like I'll be working all day and I'm like I do not want to go home and walk .

But I have a step goal for my personal trainer and I will be honest paying a personal trainer gets my ass into gear , despite me not wanting to do something or feeling not inspired to do something . And I will say mostly because I'm paying for a service , I am good with my money , I don't like wasting money .

So if I'm paying for something , I'm going to use it . Once I stop using a service like this gotta go . But yeah , so I'll get my steps in . I'll go for a walk . That passes time .

Sometimes that spikes inspiration , like I was on a walk today when I was like I really just don't know what I want to put out for the podcast and then I was like , why don't I just talk about this lack of inspiration ? I just sat down and wrote out all my thoughts and boom , here's the podcast .

So sometimes going for a walk can just clear your head , get some inspiration going . Other things that I like to do , and it's mostly just a pastime . I will say that , like sometimes it's . I think sometimes my feeling is more boredom .

Like sometimes I just get bored and I'm just like I need to pass some time because I don't have anything to do , mostly because I'm boring . But I get in my sauna . I don't have a sauna , I have a sauna blanket . Let's just , it's like a looks like a sleeping bag . I get in my sauna . I don't have a sauna , I have a sauna blanket .

It looks like a sleeping bag . I get in my sauna blanket and then I do try to do meditation . I'll be honest , meditation is just hard and I'm one of these people that I still just don't love it . I want to love it because it's supposed to be so good for you and people literally rave about it .

I'm not good at it and I think when I'm not good at something , I just don't love to do it . But again , those are just things that I mostly do to pass time .

But here , lately I've been spending a lot of time and thoughts with my house , like I've mentioned this on the podcast , doing projects here and there , recently painted three bedrooms and two bathrooms in the house , which drove me insane . I don't know , I like doing stuff , like the finished project always great , but going through it is hell .

But again , doing something , keeping your mind busy , finding inspiration , fun , having a feeling , um .

So , with that being said , like with the house , like I haven't really fully decided if I'm going to paint the living room in the kitchen or if I'm just going to keep it the color it is , like I'm really torn because the color it is it's like a grayish green , very warm , inviting , feels homey .

And then , of course , I painted the bedrooms and the bathrooms white , not like a stark white , but a warm white , and it still feels warm and inviting and I really love it because it looks more brighter and open and it makes everything look bigger and cleaner .

But then it's like thinking about painting the living room in the kitchen because everything is just so open . I just don't know . I don't know , we'll see .

Finding Contentment and Staying Busy

But like over the past couple years , I've done things like the painting I finally got the closets that I wanted .

Like changing everything from wire racks to wooden shelving , um screened in my patio , got some landscaping to fix up , but then , most recently , like the past couple weekends , things that I physically could do instead of other people doing them , just to kind of again not sit on the couch all day eating my bonbons I don't even know what a bonbon is , I don't

even know what a bonbon is . I don't know why I say I guess it's just because it's a saying that people say but I have been doing small things that I can do around the house , like I've changed all my cabinet cabinetry stuff from like silver to black .

I've changed like door hinges also from silver to black , like just changing all the silver in the house to black fixtures . And I've been wanting since I moved in this house to change bathroom lighting from the silver , like they were cute . They just weren't my style and it looked like these Beauty and the Beast like overhead lamps in the bathroom .

So I changed it to a more modern , like sleek black , which is really cute , which took me two damn days to do . I had to call my stepdad , who's an electrician , and was like what am I doing wrong ?

Like I keep putting this on the ceiling , which why I kept tightening everything to the ceiling before I got down to see if it would work , don't know , but I would literally like screw everything into the ceiling and my shoulders were killing me and would get up there and one light worked . He was like well , do you have everything , are you sure ?

Then we realized I had to strip the wires and finally , on the second day , got both the lights up and I'm like okay , please don't fall off the ceiling because that would be embarrassing . So far , so good . They've made it a week .

So doing things like that , I've also just been painting my grout in the bathroom , so I have these like tile in all the bathrooms and laundry room .

So I've been painting the grout because , for whatever reason , when I moved in this house it was like a gray , like some areas were gray and then some are white and I don't know if that was just because the towel is gray and white . So I was like is the ? I thought grout was supposed to match ?

So I started painting the grout in my bathroom to like a more vibrant white and it literally looks night and day Love it . But it's a very long process and I don't know like my shoulders killing me , knees like trying to paint the grout killing me , but I still have my guest bathroom to do and that I should be done with it .

But again , things to just do to pass my time and I actually it's kind of very therapeutic , you know , it's like almost like painting , like how adults have like paint by numbers . Honestly , it's kind of like that I just sit there , listen to a podcast , listen to some music .

Last time I just literally sat with my thoughts and was just like thinking and I actually did have some inspiration , but that was last weekend and that was on last week's podcast . I was like I really think I want to recap Love is Blind , like I really love that show .

But don't get me wrong With all that said , the things that I do passing time , I do have those days where I'm like , screw it . We sitting on the couch today , boo , we sitting on the couch , me and the chihuahuas , we sitting on the couch when I say chihuahuas , I mean one Me and Chunky Butt sitting on the couch .

But for me and my busy body , like my mind , like I , like I said , going back to my childhood and how everything was chaotic I quickly become bored and sometimes , like that's what I think my feeling is , it's just , it's just boredom . So , again , going back to contentment , I truly , the more I sit and talk about this , I think it is just contentment .

That's why sometimes podcasts are just very therapeutic for me , because I'm like , oh , I'm talking to my feelings and my emotions .

I think it's just truly contentment and I just get bored because I don't personally know what to do with contentment , like I don't know what to do when things aren't all awry , things are busy , I have a lot to do and then , if you've noticed , the things that I do to pull myself out of that mood is to stay busy . So that's probably what it is .

But also , like I'm not a stranger to talking about therapy , I've been in and out of therapy , like I worked with Minyu , who is an energy healer , and love that sometimes I say therapy isn't working , because talk therapy is just talking , right , like I obviously can talk . I don't have an issue talking .

I can get on this mic and just talk , talk , talk , talk , talk . But that doesn't always solve the issue , but like we just figured out what was going on . It is contentment .

So sometimes talking does work and then when I'm having deeper conversations with friends or even doing episodes like this , like where I am just talking and figuring things out , I'm like , okay , maybe therapy is working . So that's another option for people is to go to therapy .

So if you find so , with all that said , like if you find yourself feeling uninspired or in these down moments , I see you and I feel you .

Now , if it's true depression , like if you feel like you have lost interest in things you once loved or you no longer want to you know , eat or drink or things that sound like true depression definitely encourage you to seek help and talk to someone . Talk to a family member , talk to a friend , call a therapist , talk to someone .

There is no shame in talking about our mental well-being .

I know there is still some stigma around it , but it is getting better and we should never truly care what other people are thinking about our mental well-being , because that is something that we really just have to get over the stigma and I know it's easier said than done and , of course , again , this is in no way advice to anyone , but that's just something I

highly recommend is , if you're feeling that way , to seek help , because there is help out there and it could be very beneficial . I'm not talking about true depression . I'm talking about just moments where you just either feel content , you feel meh , you feel uninspired , you're lacking motivation , just because things are kind of calm in your life .

And these are just the things that I do that typically work for me . That does not mean that it's going to work for everybody else .

Like I said , working through this episode , when I'm like , oh , everything that I do , like I'm sitting here like just thinking about what I'm talking about and it's like , oh , everything I do is like to stay busy , to move , to motivate , to try to find motivation , when really sometimes you just need to sit with yourself , let the thoughts flow through you , let

the energy flow through you . Welcome the energy that's there . That's what I've learned from me and you and it's it's all going to work out and it's all going to be okay .

Again , I'll drive it home and reiterate this If it's depression , seek counseling or help and talk to someone , because that is a different story and sometimes there's other factors that are out of your control .

But I am going to see if mean you can come on and do an episode about this with me , just to have it like in a more professional like , obviously from a professional who deals with this with other patients who can kind of give you better suggestions , if you will . But otherwise I want to thank you for listening .

I know this is not the typical episode I do . It's not like an uplifting episode , but it was just what I was going through in the moment and I just was like , why not share it ? I haven't shared stuff like this before and I'm not always like , oh , let's go get it .

Like always feeling inspired and sometimes I think , if we hear other people just in what they go through , because , like I said , like Sometimes I think , if we hear other people just in what they go through , because , like I said , like I've mentioned this , like on social media , like we look to social media , thinking everyone is always happy , always like bubbly ,

always these things , when really it's just a highlight reel

Human Connection and Podcast Sharing

. You know and like , and sometimes that's with the podcast , y'all get an episode of me once a week and sometimes , like , there's a lot of great things going on or I'm just sharing only the good things and not some of the bad things .

And I think if we just all like , connected on a human level , where everyone is going through certain things , and we can share and connect on that level , then it just makes the world such a better place because we don't feel alone . But anyways , guys , I will end it there . Always like , share and subscribe to the pod if you love these episodes .
