Growth and Goals Podcast Ashleigh Nicolle

You may have noticed I have taken a few weeks off, I have been grieving the loss of my dog Wrigley. I initially wanted to take time off until I felt like I could come back and be my usual self, but that felt really inauthentic. This podcast has always been about me sharing with you my journey, process and experiences and I don't want to pretend that this time of grief isn't happening because it's a part of my story.
If you also find yourself grieving; whether it's the loss of a pet, a loved one, a relationship, a friendship, a job or anything else, then I hope this episode brings you some comfort. Unfortunately, no one in this life escapes grief, I just hope that I can make you feel less alone.

If you struggle with guilt for being "lazy", beat yourself up for not getting enough done, or have a tendency to tie your worth to the amount of things you check off your to-do list, then this episode is for you. Unfortunately we live in a society that glorifies grinding yourself into the ground and views things like much needed rest and relaxation as laziness.
In today's episode I want to share with you the three tenents of the "laziness lie", a phrase coined by Dr. Devon Price in his book Laziness Does Not Exist, and how you can overcome the lie that you are lazy.

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.
