    Confession #022: When Your Bedroom Is Your Only Sanctuary

    In this episode of Confessions of a Lost Soul, I talk about the emotional reality of living with family when it is not fully by choice. The gratitude, the frustration, the lack of privacy, the bedroom-as-your-only-sanctuary feeling, and the quiet shame of wanting independence but not being able to fully afford it yet. This is not about blaming parents. It is about being honest that support can be a gift and still feel emotionally hard. No perfection. No pretending. Just real talk about adulthood, money, independence, and wanting a life that feels like your own.

    Confession #021: I Don’t Know How to Rest Anymore

    This week I officially graduated with my master’s degree — something I’ve been working toward for over six years. In this episode of Confessions of a Lost Soul, I talk about the long road from working in finance and feeling unhappy, to going back to school, becoming a nurse, and working toward becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner. I share the late nights, the studying, the pressure, and what it felt like to have school become “job number two” after work ended. But this episode is also about what happens after you reach the goal. The pride, the fulfillment, the “now what?” feeling, and the weird guilt of finally being able to rest. No perfection. No pretending. Just the messy middle of achievement, identity, and learning that rest is not laziness.

    Confession #020: There Is No “Right” Decision

    How do you know if you’re making the right decision? In this episode of Confessions of a Lost Soul, I talk about spending a week stuck between two choices — moving to San Diego or Los Angeles — and the pressure to choose the “perfect” path. This is a real conversation about overthinking, indecision, and the fear of regret. What I’ve started to realize is that there is no perfect decision — only different experiences. And sometimes, what matters most isn’t the place… it’s the people. “A beautiful place isn’t paradise if you’re lonely… and an ordinary place can feel magical when you have your people.”

    Confession #019: I’m Trying to Become a Morning Person

    What if the way you start your day changes how you experience your life? In this episode of Confessions of a Lost Soul, I talk about trying to become a morning person — not perfectly, but intentionally. From rushed mornings to slow starts on the beach, this is a real conversation about how environment, presence, and small shifts in routine can impact your mental health more than you think. No perfection. No pretending. Just figuring it out — one morning at a time.

    Confession #018: Why Do We Lose Motivation So Fast?

    Why is it so easy to feel motivated at the start… and so hard to keep going? In this episode of Confessions of a Lost Soul, we talk about the reality of motivation — why it fades, why consistency feels boring, and why the hardest part of growth isn’t starting… it’s continuing. This conversation explores our relationship with boredom, the psychology behind motivation, and what it actually takes to keep showing up when the excitement wears off. No perfection. No pretending. Just real talk about discipline, consistency, and the messy middle of building something that matters.

    Confession #017: I’m About to Change My Life (And I’m Terrified)

    What does it feel like when your life is about to change? In this episode of Confessions of a Lost Soul, I talk about being in the in-between — waiting to hear about a new job, preparing for a potential move across the country, and feeling both excited and anxious at the same time. This is a real, unfiltered conversation about big transitions, uncertainty, and what it means to step into something new before you feel fully ready. No perfection. No pretending. Just the messy middle of change.

    Confession #016: Stuck Between the Past and the Future

    What if the reason you feel stuck… is because you’re living everywhere except the present? In this episode of Confessions of a Lost Soul, we talk about regret, overthinking the future, and the strange feeling of being caught between what’s already happened and what hasn’t happened yet. We explore how the past can feel heavy, the future can feel overwhelming, and why being present is often the hardest — but most important — place to be. No perfection. No pretending. Just honest conversation about uncertainty, overthinking, and learning to live in the moment.

    Confession #015: What Actually Helps My Mental Health (And What Doesn’t)

    Mental health isn’t something you figure out once — it’s something you keep showing up for. In this episode of Confessions of a Lost Soul, I talk honestly about what I’ve tried for my mental health — what helps, what helps a little, and what honestly makes things worse. From routines and habits to connection and mindset, this is a real look at what it actually feels like to take care of your mental health while you’re still in it. No perfection. No pretending. Just showing up, trying your best, and learning along the way.
