When Anxiety Attacks..

This is a mini episode filled with my favourite thoughts I remind myself to find strength, peace and inspiration when I need it most. They are my 'grounding thoughts' - thoughts that can stop my mind spiralling into a helpless place where I think I need to to 'control' the world and all of it's outcomes in order to feel ok. Instead, these thoughts remind me of my own personal power and ability to choose how I interpret every circumstance I am giving, so that I can calm myself down and intentionally respond from a place of faith and curiosity - which always serves me far more than just reacting to my negative thoughts and letting my fears drive me. So, I hope this episode does the same for you and is one you turn to whenever you need a boost of inspiration and hope on tough days.   Want some extra help to manage your stress during high school and college?

Finding Grit When You Want to Quit

Today's episode is dediated to my beloved pup of 16 years, Cooper Fitzsimons, who we sadly said goodbye to this week. For anyone who's struggling with grief and loss, and is need of some extra hope and strength to get you through it, this episode is also for you. &lt;3 

Loving, Losing & Letting go..

Despite what the highlight reels may show online, college in real life can be challenging. Overwhelming. Confusing. And somewhat lonely experience - even when you're surrounded by people.  You've shed your identity of a high school student, yet still trying to figure out who you are in the world as a young adult.  You are desperate to make your parents happy and prove your success through your grades - but that pressure can only last so long before it takes its toll under the mountain of homework and exams.  Time feels like it's forever escaping you and a good night's sleep is a luxury you wish you could afford.  Your mind is forever spinning over 'which is the right major???' and you're exhausted from the endless social events you're attending to try make new friends. And perhaps you've made some - but still, you're not yet comfortable enough to share with them how you're really feeling. So you keep pushing your stress aside and hide it beneath a smile - a smile that's only surface deep. Beneath it, is a girl who's struggling, and is in need of extra support...  If you can relate to what I described above as a college student, then make sure you check out this amazing interview with college sophomore, Elle Snyder. She bravely opens up about the toughest days of her first year of college and shares all the things she's learned from that struggle to help you through yours. &lt;3   Want some extra help to manage your stress during high school and college?

When You're Struggling To Handle College - And Feeling Ashamed of It..

This episode is a fun and meaningful pep talk filled with all wisdom and advice I wish I knew and understood as a teen.

The second part are words of wisdom I wrote a few years ago filled with all the advice I would've liked to have given my 17 year old self - it's too late to go back and do that, but thankfully I can share it with you today so hopefully you don't make the same mistakes as I did. If you are in that same place of overthinking and overstressing everything, I hope this episode helps shift your perspective back to what you CAN control and what really matters most in life. 🙌  Want some extra help to manage your stress during high school and college?
