51. I Support Meds for Everyone (Except Apparently… Me?)

This week’s episode is for anyone who’s ever said, “I 100% support meds for mental health,” while simultaneously whispering “...but like not for me, obviously.” Yep. That’s been me.The supportive friend. The advocate. The one who’ll help you find a psychiatrist and talk through your dosage, while quietly raw-dogging my own anxiety and insomnia for years because I’m fine. (Spoiler: I was not fine.) In this one, I’m opening up about what finally pushed me to try SSRIs, how the first few weeks on L...

50. Your Timeline Doesn't Have A Deadline

If you’ve ever found yourself spiralling on a Tuesday because someone you barely know just got married and posted a humblebrag about hitting six figures by 29, this one’s for you. In this episode, I’m talking about the myth of “being behind” — that sneaky little narrative that says you’re late to some imaginary party where everyone else has their dream job, soulmate, and salary figured out while you’re still Googling “how to feel okay about doing nothing.” We unpack: + The fake life checklist so...

49. Okay Yes I’m Spiraling, But Productively

Ever catch yourself spiralling so hard your brain’s doing Olympic-level mental gymnastics over… literally nothing? Same here, friend. In this episode, I’m sharing 3 weirdly effective tools that help me stop the mental chaos just enough to function. No toxic positivity. No “just journal about it" (that does help too sometimes, ngl).

46. What Doesn't Kill You, Texts You Six Months Later

How many times have you yearned for your ex to see their wrongs and come crawling back into your life?

Do you often think about work outside of the office? Do you have hobbies that don't involve your job? How would you feel if you couldn't continue in your career? Would it be very upsetting to you?

41. Mute Your Competition

Comparing ourselves… we’ve all done it. All felt that pang of jealousy when we see someone else have what we want. It’s only natural. But I find in today’s social media-obsessed world, it’s a daily occurrence and I’m comparing myself to someone or something a lot. This usually sends me into a spiral feeling like I’m not good enough, that I’ll never be “successful,” and that my goals and dreams are not worth fulfilling. #tragic When I feel this way, I do this trick to stop the external noise so t...

38. What To Do When You’re In A Funk

October was spooky, which is #onbrand. I got laid off at the beginning of the month and Bren lost his grandfather two days later. Not to mention all of my friends also went through it in some form as well. No matter the type of grief, it can catapult you into a F U N K. First and foremost this episode is to normalize that everyone gets into a funk, no matter if they’re grieving.

35. I’m The One Who’s In Charge with Shaughnessy King

I don’t know about you but the typical 9 to 5 grind has been brutal lately. Doing the same thing day in and day out, working for someone else, is not as inspiring as it used to be. Especially after Miss Rona, the work landscape has changed drastically. Remote work is the new norm, employees are actually setting boundaries and work is no longer the main focus of everyone's life. And thank god for that!! Shaughnessy King was ahead of the curve and realized all of this second everyone was forced ba...

How many times have you said to your best friend, "we should start a business together." I honestly think it’s a true testament to friendship to have this thought cross your mind at least once. You and your friend daydream and joke that, "this would be a really great idea” but then nothing comes to fruition... Well the same story of friendship applies to our guests, Cora Pursley and Payton Butler. They always knew they wanted to get into business together but unlike the rest of us, these two wen...

33. Is Home A Feeling Or A Place?

How do you define the idea of “home?” Is it by the way you decorate your place or the furnishings you have? Maybe home to you is using your favorite coffee machine every morning and drinking your cup outside on your patio. Or maybe it’s not through physical things and rather the feeling you receive when you’re spending a night out with your besties. Either way is 100% right! I’m sharing today how my perception of home has changed over the years. How it started as purely a feeling and how I’m tra...

32. People Don’t Care If Your Pillows Are Fluffed with Brooke Primm

We’re channelling our inner Martha Stewart, Ina Garten or Oprah, if you will. Whichever homemaker, or hostess inspires you most. With the rising costs of literally everything… There’s been a resurgence in hosting at home! And I mean why wouldn’t we?! It’s going to cost just as much as if we went out but rather we get to pick what we’re eating, curate a fun theme and spend time with people who matter most to us, instead of constantly dodging that one creep at the bar. Brooke Primm has over a deca...

According to peoplemanagement.com, “80% of employees feel anxious about attending online work meetings.” And I’m sure there are similar numbers for in-person meetings cause those can be just as daunting… Unfortunately, I’ve not fou...

30. Healing Your Body Through Osteopathy with Florence Bowen

If I were to ask, are you familiar with osteopathy? What would be your response? I asked this in a poll on Instagram, 30% of you said it’s changed your life. 20% said y’all are somewhat familiar but want to hear more and then 50% of you said that you didn’t have a clue what it was. And I’m definitely in that last category. While I’m trying to be more mindful of taking care of my body, I’d say I’m still stuck in the stereotypical mindset that working out and eating properly is the ONLY way to tak...
