Hot Takes
The weather here is heating up and it inspired me to share some of my hot takes. Feel free to agree or disagree and make sure to head over to my socials to let me know what you think.
In today's episode I discuss:
We need to celebrate people for more than finding love and having babies, if you want to be celebrated for a life event don't be afraid to celebrate yourself the way you wish others did You don't have to be a morning person, waking up at the crack of dawn is overrated Everyone can benefit from therapy Being 'chugy' or 'cring' isn't a bad thing Social media has made people boring, scrolling isn't a hobby Dating apps have ruined dating but it is almost impossible to meet someone out in the real world Self-harm jokes are not funny, it's not dark humor- it's concerning In this episode I discuss these and more, not necessarily to justify my thoughts or convince you one way or another just wanted to air some grievences.

Summer Bodies
First and foremost, all bodies are summer bodies and you should not care what other people think. It is my hope that you feel good in the skin you're in and feel beautiful no matter what. However, with that being said I struggle with confidence in my body, especially in the summer. I am working on being kinder to myself and feeling more confident in my body, but it's not a quick process and so I wanted to share with you some tips that have helped me to feel good, beautiful and confident in the warmer months.
Again, it is so important to do the internal work of being kind to yourself, rejecting beauty standards, building your self confidence, and letting go of other people's opinions. But, if you're like me and you still sometimes struggle with feeling positive about your body then this episode is for you.
We all deserve to have a hot girl summer and I hope these tips help you do just that!

Making The Most of Your 5-9
This one is for my workin girls! I know it can be hard to come home from work and not just want to collapse on the couch and binge watch something or doom scrool on your phone, believe me I have been there. There's nothing wrong with doing that every once in a while but your 5-9 accounts for 1/3 of your day, 1/3 of your life, so let's make the most of it.
I was getting my schedule together for the spring/summer and I am so booked and busy I only have 3 free weekends over the next 4 months, this used to fill me with dread that I wouldn't have time to do things for me, but then a realized I have so much time every day to devote to myself. It was then I realized I was living for the weekend rather than making the most of my weekdays.
So if you're ready to stop living for the weekend and start loving everyday, this episode is for you!
