From chasing academic success, to friendships, to finding your feet online, the pressure to be perfect can be overwhelming. So let's sit back for a moment and chat about it because I know it's hard and you know it's hard so let's make it less hard — together.

It doesn't feel easy but when we take it one thought at a time we can do anything. So take a breathe, listen in and we can turn the volume down together.

Life doesn't follow a set plan as much as I sometimes wish it did. In this weeks episode I sit down and chat about the pressure of timelines, finding your own pace, and why 5-year plans are stupid. Let's break free from needing to go at a certain pace and find the pace that fits in with our goals. As hard as it is, our lives are constantly changing so let's use it to our advantage.
This episode serves as a heart-to-heart reminder that your goals and dreams are valid, no matter how long they take — and that life isn’t a pass/fail test.

Let’s talk about the winter wearies. My least favourite time of year. The time where I am always tired, unmotivated and kinda blah feeling. Where everything feels like too much and not enough at the same time. If that sounds like you in this season of your life, let's settle down, get cozy and talk about it. In this episode, I’m chatting about how this season messes with us, why it doesn’t mean you’re failing, and how we can take the pressure off while still showing up for ourselves (even just a little).

This one’s a little different. I’m finally talking about my faith—my walk with God, where I’m at, and how it’s definitely not perfect (but still real).

If you’ve ever felt unsure, unqualified, or like you’re figuring it out as you go… same. Let’s talk about it.

Ever thought you were totally over something... until it randomly hits you out of nowhere and you're like, “Oh. Guess not”? Yeah, same. In this episode, I’m getting honest about the things I thought I had let go of; like old high school friendships, silly fights with my parents, and the way I used to talk to myself when no one was around. It’s a little vulnerable, a little therapeutic, and a reminder that healing isn’t always a straight line. If you’ve ever carried something quietly because it “wasn’t a big deal,” this one’s for you. Let’s talk about it and maybe start letting go, for real this time.If you enjoyed this episode make sure you are following along for more like it.

If you’re feeling unsure about your future or just love hearing about how paths aren’t always straight lines, this one’s for you.
