Mar 10, 2025•24 min•Transcript available on Metacast We've all heard the quote, "If they wanted to, they would." You might have even used that quote to determine how someone feels about you. In today's episode, we're using this type of thinking and applying it to ourselves. If you wanted to do something, you would. If you wanted to chase your dreams, you would. If you wanted to leave that relationship, you would. If you wanted to move across the country, you would. Instead of making excuses for why things aren't working out for you, start asking y...
Mar 03, 2025•19 min•Transcript available on Metacast Have you ever opened up to a friend about a situation where someone deeply hurt or betrayed you, just to have that friend turn their back on you and befriend that person?

Feb 24, 2025•32 min•Transcript available on Metacast If you’re stuck in a situation that you’re unhappy in or you want to make a change but you’re scared, this episode is a reminder that NOTHING HAPPENS IF NOTHING HAPPENS. If you want your life to change, you need to make the necessary changes. In this episode, I talk about letting go of things that no longer serve you to make room for things that do. The longer you hold on to these things, the more they will continue to drag you down, make you feel uncomfortable, and make your life harder. LET GO...
Feb 17, 2025•33 min•Transcript available on Metacast Instead of worrying if someone likes you, ask yourself, “do I like them?” Are they kind? Are they funny? Are they honest?

Feb 10, 2025•43 min•Transcript available on Metacast I started this podcast in 2022 when I decided to start taking social media seriously. I was so afraid of what everyone thought of me (hence why I called it Trying Not to Care), and I wanted to please everyone. I soon realized that no matter what I do, I cannot please everyone. Today’s episode is a reminder to not lose yourself trying to get approval from others. The things someone dislikes you for, someone else might love you for. Be true to yourself because regardless of how amazing you are, yo...

Nov 18, 2024•28 min•Transcript available on Metacast This week has been a difficult one for me, as I’m sure it was for many of you. I went through 10 stages of grief, and I’m still crashing out as I type this. I have received so many comments and DMs asking for guidance on what you should do if a person in your life has voted differently than you in this presidential election. I wish I had an easier answer for you, but I hope today’s episode gives you some clarity. The answer to your question about someone is in their actions. When people show you...
Nov 11, 2024•37 min•Transcript available on Metacast I was taught that keeping quiet kept the peace until I realized whose peace is it keeping? After voicing my opinion in a video last week, I received a few comments that read, "I used to like you, but now I need to unfollow." My first reaction was to laugh it off, but as I sat with it, I felt as if I did something wrong. I knew I stood behind what I said in that video, I was proud of myself for voicing how I felt, but I still felt as if I made a mistake by posting it because it upset a few of my ...

Oct 28, 2024•40 min•Transcript available on Metacast It's much easier to point out when someone else makes a mistake or is acting out of character than it is to check yourself. In today's episode, I talk about holding ourselves accountable and checking ourselves when we're not being the best that we can be. It's important to take a step back and look at how we're behaving and how we're treating others. It's not enough to talk about how good of a person you are; you also need to show up as her. Actions speak louder than words. Hurricane relief fund...

Oct 14, 2024•35 min•Transcript available on Metacast If you can’t stop overthinking, listen to this episode. Last week I went on my first brand trip, and it was INCREDIBLE. The days leading up to the trip, I was so nervous and was thinking about every possible thing that could go wrong. It got to a point where I almost backed out of the trip because I was overthinking and SPIRALING. Thankfully, I pulled it together and forced myself to go, and I’m so glad I did because it was a huge reminder that OUR THOUGHTS AREN’T ALWAYS CORRECT. Just because I ...

Sep 09, 2024•30 min•Transcript available on Metacast It can be tempting to make your life seem much more luxurious and interesting than it actually is. We think if we post videos at a cool party or photos of us in an expensive car, it will wow others and make them envy our lives. But what is more important? People thinking our lives are so cool, or us actually enjoying our lives? Instead of focusing so much on trying to curate this perfect image of what our life is supposed to look like, let's focus on trying to make our life something worth livin...
