Being vulnerable has always terrified me. I’ve always been scared of being judged or seen as too much. But lately, I’ve been learning that connection only happens when you actually let people in.In this episode, I discuss this fear and discomfort that comes with vulnerability. The overthinking, the shame spirals, and the constant urge to pull back as well as how I’ve slowly started to work through it. If you’ve ever felt scared to open up, this one’s for you. We’re breaking down what it really means to be vulnerable, and how it can actually be one of the strongest, most freeing things you can do.thank you for being here xx

Going to be honest, summer is one of the hardest seasons for me every year. I am always in this transition phase, waiting for the next part of my life to start and I am feeling stuck in this phase currently. Feeling ungrounded, stuck in a work cycle, and trying to get through the grief I've been experiencing. This has all reminded me how our emotions can co-exist and how feeling one emotion doesn't take away the value or strength of another present emotion. Listen to hear more about my current struggles and thoughts around this!

Life is full of unpredictability and we do not know what the future holds for us. It can be scary but it also can be beautiful and freeing. By mastering detachment we can free ourselves from anxiety and need for control over outcomes and our journey though life.

I have had the worst relationship anyone could ever have with food and my body. Through ED recovery I learned how to heal these relationships, figuring out my fears and deconstructing my beliefs to finally test myself again. Having food freedom doesn't mean that all you do is eat burgers and pizza all day, it means being free of guilt and shame, respecting & valuing yourself and your body. Listen to find out more in detail on just how to achieve this!

It's almost time for me to retire from my sport and needless to say I am not taking it well. Feeling burnout but with a great amount of pressure on myself has been causing me to underperform in my sport. I hit this mental block that I'm struggling to get passed but I plan to try and incorporate some new habits and perspectives for these last few weeks of being an athlete.

61: Intimate partner violence is an extremely prevalent issue we all can try to help minimize. Knowing the signs not only for yourself, but for others in your life can help to prevent the issues from getting worse. Also by changing the way we speak on social media and with each other is a great way everyone can take a part. Even small comments that reflect gender stereotypes can enhance the beliefs people have that cause them to act in aggressive ways and think its okay. thank you for being here! xx

60: If you're struggling with feeling behind, like you are unlovable, surrounded by people who make you feel bad about yourself, or having a hard time with your self-esteem, these are some reminders and bits of advice for you xx

59: It is burnout season & I have been so exhausted!! With all of the work and exams piling up this month I've started falling into a bad place mentally. Any self-care I had has been thrown out the window, so it's time to get it back and figure out how to keep pushing through this stressful time!

58: Even though I've done all the therapy, putting myself back into situations where I previously got hurt is terrifying. So many triggers & flashbacks come up in new relationships that I find myself holding back from trusting people. It's difficult and scary asf, but the reality of life after assault.

sending you all so much love! know that you are not alone and there is help out there for you. xx

56: I think that I am fully healed from mental illness and trauma until it all hits me all over again and I go right back into old thought patterns. It's the whole process of healing though; recovery isn't meant to be pretty and easy, you have to face the same situations over and over again until you learn how to handle it better. You have to face the uncomfortableness, go through the messiness and sometimes fall back. But you are ALWAYS moving forward and growing no matter how it seems.

55: I have a phone addiction and it NEEDS to be cured. So, I decided to delete social media for a month and see if I could do it. Turns out it was actually really nice and not as difficult as I expected. This is your sign to delete social media!!!!
