first rule of the Internet: don't read the comments! just kidding, sort of. while feedback is good, it's immensely helpful to understand why you can't please everyone, and why you shouldn't try. if you know you are a good person and coming from a genuine place, that's all you can control. once you know your values, you can speak confidently without worrying what people think. someone is bound to be offended, and that's ok. let go of that baggage and come to the dark side! kiiidding. enjoy this episode xx
there is a paradox of beauty that we internalize as young girls - namely, that our beauty determines our value, but that we also don't have any authority over it and what gets determined as "beautiful." We're also taught an inherent paradox that we shouldn't desire beauty or to stand out, evidenced in popular terms such as "pick-me girl," implying that wanting to be seen is inherently cringey. in this episode, i explore the topic of beauty and how it's become outsourced to others, and how to take that power back for yourself and allow your inner radiance to shine through unapologetically. xx enjoy!
Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching talks about the idea of wu wei, or inaction. He says, "The Tao (Way) is ever without action, yet nothing is undone.” A seeming paradox, but in reality, going with the flow can often be the quickest way to reach your manifestations. The outer world is just a reflection of your inner world, and the more we can align with it, the more harmony there is with both the inner and outer. Pretty cool, right? In this episode, I share a little anecdote that happened to me this week involving free gelato, Lexuses, and DJing that was a great reminder of how important it is to go with your flow. xx enjoy!
there's a really important distinction between playing just not to lose, and playing to win...i break it down for you in this episode. trust me, you're going to love this one, especially if you're an overthinker (like me). College football coach Lou Holtz once said, "In this world you're either growing or you're dying so get in motion and grow.” status quo doesn't exist!! get to growing baby! enjoy xx
seriously, what's wrong with being nice? i feel like being nice gets a bad rap. ever heard the saying, nice guys finish last? being nice is highly misunderstood. in this episode, i clear up what being nice is not, how to set your boundaries, and what being nice truly is. and why it's ok to be boring sometimes, because i'm just doing me. you do you. the end. enjoy!
