    Self-Care Toolbox Ep 1: Finding Energy for Self-Care

    I'm so excited to start a new series & bring more structure to the podcast! For the next few weeks, we'll be exploring self-care - but not in the ways you think. The self-care "toolbox" approach aims to help you build a solid foundation of self-care habits, by first VALIDATING the struggles inherent in practicing self-care. This episode dives into the inherent struggle of finding energy & motivation to take care of yourself -- a huge roadblock that prevents many of us from getting started. I chat through why this can be a hindrance especially given societal pressures, and then share some tangible tips that have helped me find the energy to practice authentic self-care practices.

    The Need for Control: How it Starts & How to Let it Go

    If you can be a bit of a control freak like me, then this episode is for you! Over the past several months, I've been confronted with the reality that trying to control everything in my life is actually sabotaging my growth, peace, and happiness - in pretty much every area. Love that! :) That said, I've reflected on a few things in relation to this need for control: 1) How did I get here, AKA what in my past has caused me to become this way? 2) What does being a "control freak" really mean? What are the true symptoms & how could they be affecting my daily life? 3) What do I do about this? What is the solution? Whether you experience a need for control in a professional setting (like school or work), in relationships with people in your life, in your health & wellness journey, or anything else, this episode is designed to reassure you that you are NOT alone while offering tangible tips to help you let go and be okay with the unknown, rather than anxious in the uncertainty that is life.

    A Re-Introduction to Me & My Brand

    Welcome! It's been a while since I've sat down to share my story, my "why" behind my brand, and of course some random fun facts about myself. This episode marks the first of a new era in Genuine Gainz history - one filled with more discipline, more content, and more confidence. After going through a rough several months, I was forced to take a step back and re-evaluate my priorities and values; this brand is one of them, and I'm done making excuses and treating it as my second choice. So buckle your seatbelts... Genuine Gainz is back and here to stay. Whether you're a longtime listener or this is your first time hearing of me, I hope you learn something and enjoy the episode. If you do, don't forget to subscribe, rate 5 stars, and review - it helps me more than you know!

    You Know Yourself Best: Living a Values-Based Life

    Welcome back! This episode is a lot, so buckle up. Lately, I've realized the importance of making decisions that align with my values rather than other people's. Whether we like it or not, many of us get so accustomed to living life on other people's terms, which can make identifying our own values difficult. In this episode, I share a few experiences that have forced me to reflect on what's really important - AND, more importantly, provide some exercises that have helped me identify my values so that you can feel supported in identifying your own. Identifying your values is a challenge in itself, and then there's the task of actually living them out, so I empathize if you are struggling... same. That said, I hope this episode can empower you to spend just a little more time finding yourself and living in accordance to what you value most.

    Instagram Is Not Reality: Reminders We All Need

    I am constantly amazed by how much of our worth we all place into a social media platform. From spending hours agonizing over our posts to spending hours scrolling and feeling bad about ourselves, it seems to be a never-ending cycle. In this episode, I chat through some of the trends I've seen Instagram users making more recently, but also share my thoughts around how the platform remains a breeding ground for comparison, negativity, and lack of self-worth. Most importantly, though, I want this episode to inspire us all to get a little more intentional about how much power we give Instagram in our lives. Hopefully, we can all walk away ready to make Instagram what we want and find our own internal validation rather than seeking external validation through social media.

    Getting Real About Body Image Issues (yay)

    Lately I've been going through a seemingly random slump of body image issues, which got me thinking... why does it still feel like I am alone in some of our struggles, and what can be done to alleviate them? My hope is that by getting real on the topic, I can bring more awareness and relatability around not always feeling great about our appearance. If you struggle, you aren't alone!

    The Girlie's Guide to Conquering Your Fears & Getting in the Gym

    Are you a girl? Cool. Want to go to the gym but feel intimidated or overwhelmed, specifically by doing things that are often male-dominated and difficult (i.e. strength training)? You found the right episode - today, I'm breaking down the barriers that keep women out of the gym and giving some tangible tips to help you find your confidence and get in there! I used to be really scared to go to the gym and would stay on the treadmill ONLY. Weights? No. Machines? No. Anything other than hiding behind a 50-year-old treadmill that barely works and feels like misery? No. And honestly, the fears I had around trying anything new at the gym were real - and I know many other women share them. In this episode, I talk through some of these fears: namely, the fear of not knowing what you're doing, being judged, and... men. One day I finally let my desire to challenge myself surpass my discomfort and went to the weight room in my college gym. From there, it was history. Taking up more space in the gym by lifting weights has transformed my mental and physical health in ways that make all the discomfort and fears worth it. I hope that this episode inspries you to go for it, too. If you enjoyed, don't forget to rate/review/follow/subscribe/do whatever you want to support ... THANK YOU!
