Ep. 6 | Dating + Crushes at 30

Dating as a plus size person has not been the easiest. The lack of self-love and lack of confidence had me really questioning whether I was worthy of being loved, especially existing in a bigger body. This episode I talk about how my healing journey has shown me that I am worthy and that it’s okay to have a crush to bring you some hope and excitement.

Thank you for listening an...

Ep. 3 | Parents + Generational Trauma

This episode is focused on a post by The Holistic Psychologist, Dr. Nicole LePera, where she gives examples of being raised by emotionally immature parents and the effects on the now adult children. I have not been able to stop thinking about the post and how it relates to my current parental situation so I decided to create this episode.
