    Breaking the Mold: Challenging Conventional Adulthood

    In this episode I explore the notion of redefining adulthood on our own terms and prioritizing fun and enjoyment during the summer season. Ultimately, being an adult is a personal journey that involves ongoing learning, growth, and self-discovery. By balancing our responsibilities with our desire for fun and adventure, we can find a sense of balance. In this episode, I'll unpack the labels society has placed on adulthood, whether it's the "adulting" trend or the expectations we encounter daily. We'll examine the pressures and norms that can often feel constricting, and limiting to our authentic selves. Essentially preventing us from fully embracing our individuality and passions. Listen as I explore different perspectives and views that challenge the conventional notions of adulthood and inspire you to break free from these molds. So, if you're tired of the societal pressures and yearn to discover a more fulfilling and authentic version of adulthood, this episode is just what you need. Together, let's break the mold, challenge conventional notions, and redefine what it truly means to be an adult. Stay in touch!

    Making Your Day-to-Day Align with Your Intentions

    Welcome to this episode, where we explore how to make your day-to-day life align with your intentions and values. It's easy to get caught up in the routine of daily life and lose sight of what really matters to us, but by taking a step back and conducting a life audit, we can start to identify areas where we can make changes to better align with our goals and values. From there, we'll discuss how to assess the knowledge we consume and make sure it's in line with our intentions, and how discipline can be reframed in a positive light as a form of self-love. Tune in to learn how you can start making changes in your own life to create a sense of purpose, fulfillment, and joy. Stay in touch!
