Take Your Power Back!

Tue, 12 Jul 2022 09:00:18 GMT

My new hobby is reading and it has given me some knowledge to share among the masses. You're welcome. In this episode I talk about the new book I've picked up called "13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do" by Amy Morin. Mentally strong people don't give away their power. Meaning, the more you think about the person you hate the more power you give them. I know, mind blown! Mine was at least... listen in to learn more.! P.S. It's really interesting and has helped me be more forgiving and let things roll off my back.

College Isn't Your Peak in Life

Mon, 04 Jul 2022 09:00:18 GMT

I feel like we've all heard "enjoy college while you can, it's the best years of your life". It can be SOME of the best years of our life but our early 20s aren't gonna be the best times ever. It is really fun and was but I can't wait for all the other peaks I'm going to have in life. I talk about the lows after finishing college and how to bounce back in your first big kid job. It takes time to adjust but you can do it! More peaks in life are to come :) Also, if you're in college now and it's kind of a flop. Don't take it too to heart, there are so many other things that we have to look forward to. Sometimes are expectations aren't met and that's okay... eventually lol :)

Grow Where You Are Planted

Mon, 27 Jun 2022 09:00:17 GMT

I feel like in life sometimes we get so fixated on what's next, that we don't realize what's right in front of us. It can be hard to live in the now and not worry about the next big thing that's going to confront us. But if you live and grow in your current position, it can open up resources you didn't even realize were sitting right under your nose. Work on living daily life and grow where you are planted! It can take you places - just like hyper fixating on the future can without huge anxiety and stress.

There's a Land of Imaginary Friends?!

Wed, 08 Jun 2022 09:00:18 GMT

Did you have an imaginary friend? What does it mean if you didn't? My imaginary friend was an interesting one... I talk about what things my sister and I made up as kids. We did it all LOL. I also hop onto Reddit and read other people's imaginary friend stories and let me tell you... it's something else.

Working On Not Being A B***h

Thu, 02 Jun 2022 09:00:17 GMT

We all get a little sassy sometimes but let's check ourselves with this episode. I know I felted checked by a TikTok I found this week... I learned about "The Four Horsemen" and talk about what I learned I need to work on in my relationships. Acknowledging our flaws is a great first step or at least that's what I tell myself. Mindfulness is a great thing to have my newbs!

Does Everyone Have The Key To Happiness?

Tue, 24 May 2022 09:00:18 GMT

What is the key to happiness and how do we even find it? Cause journaling ain't workin' for me. This weeks episode is about living in the moment and finding happiness. I talk about different studies I read about and what makes happiness such an individualist journey. A solo trip to the beach made me start thinking about mindfulness and heres my thoughts on working on living in the present and being happy! PSA: I say "you know" a lot and I don't know why.

Youtube Just Isn’t The Same Anymore :/

Mon, 09 May 2022 09:00:20 GMT

I don't know what ya'll think but Youtube has not been hitting for me lately. The commercialization of Youtube is making what was so unique about this platform disappear. Youtube is becoming a huge commercial but with creators that you actually love and not just random actors. It's so disappointing and I hope there will be a revival of this platform sometime soon. Do ya'll think the platform of Youtube is dying or is it just becoming the new cable?

I Don’t Know What I’m Doing With My Life, Do You?

Tue, 26 Apr 2022 09:00:21 GMT

Lately, I especially don't know what I'm doing with my life. Post-college life is weird and learning how to create your own goals is hard. We've been told what to do with our lives for so long, now that I'm on my own.. I feel so overwhelmed. I'm looking up now after being so focused on finishing school and wondering who the heck even am I? What do I actually want out of life?

The Road to a Healthy Relationship: Tools to Understand Your Partner and Yourself Better

Mon, 18 Apr 2022 09:00:18 GMT

Sometimes being able to voice to your partner what you need from them is a really hard thing to do. We don't always know what we need, what we fear, what gives us an ick. I share 3 tools in this episode that I've used in my relationship to get to know each other (and yourself) better. Curating a healthy relationship takes some work but these quizzes lead you to the path to being able to start conversations you didn't even know you needed to have.

So far the worksheets are on Google Docs in the links below. They aren't on Pinterest yet.

Wed, 06 Apr 2022 09:00:17 GMT

Does your Grandma give unwarranted opinions as well? I'm sure she does, it's kinda their thing. I talk about my Grandma drama, embarrassing moments, Tiktok, Wedding Venues, and more! Just a stream of consciousness uploaded for your enjoyment and my free therapy. Enjoy and come back next week :). PLEASE.

Hands Weren't Thrown But Someone Did Get ARRESTED?!

Wed, 30 Mar 2022 09:00:21 GMT

Yes, the title is true... Someone did get arrested. Even if you don't listen to this episode, let this be a sign to be more aware of your safety and to trust your gut! I can't even make this stuff up you guys. Life is crazy and sometimes in the worst way possible. Since Highschool and probably earlier I have strong memories of being crept on by men. Stared at, sexualized, belittled, feeling helpless, and disgusted. I share some of my earlier memories of this topic and my story from this past week in this episode. TW: Male harassment.

Worrying Is the Thief of All Energy

Tue, 15 Mar 2022 09:00:20 GMT

This is something I recorded a while back and I didn’t like it… now I’m not so sure why I was so hard on myself! I was kind of in a rut then and contemplating a lot but it’s still a fun podcast. Especially as I get going, it gets very random, and the energy picks up. I talk about worrying and taking out double your energy instead of just doing the action. We just have to remember to not make ourselves suffer twice :). I also talk about neighbor drama, wedding dress shopping, dying my hair, and me not being “that girl”.

Happy Monday Newbs! This is part 2 of Jessica and I's last episode. In this episode, we talk about grad school and the expectations being pushed on us after graduating college.

We are in the wildlife conservation field and tell ya'll about what are jobs currently consist of and what we wanna do next.

Feeling Like You're Not Good Enough...

Mon, 14 Feb 2022 10:00:19 GMT

Happy Valentine's Day Newbs! Last week was about love and finding the one. This week is about not feeling your best and kind of like you're just not good enough. I feel like we all have those days. Whether you're feeling down about being single or that your work ethic isn't up to societal standards. There's always an unspoken expectation that's so hard to reach, usually set by yourself. I share my struggles with this and some tips to make yourself feel better!

Our Trials and Triumphs with Body Image (Skinny ≠ Healthy...) with Katie Caraher

Mon, 31 Jan 2022 10:00:18 GMT

Hey Newbs! On this podcast, my friend Katie joins in to talk about our journeys with body image and what we've learned so far. As young kids, we equated skinny with healthy and beautiful. I was 7 or 8 years old and I was already worried about my body. Now as young adults, we've realized how detrimental that thought process can be and we weren't being healthy. We also talk about birth control and my experience of feeling unheard by doctors. We don’t know what our passions are and what exactly we're working towards but learning how to accept ourselves is a big step we want to keep taking.

This podcast was made with good intent and hoping to spread positive messages about loving yourself. But it's also okay if that process takes time.

Why You Should Never Be a Perfectionist...

Mon, 24 Jan 2022 10:00:22 GMT

Hey Newbs! Welcome to episode 4! My episodes have been a little out of order so if you hear me say a different number, ignore me lol. Past Audrey has no idea what's going on.

This episode was inspired by the Youtuber Alisha Marie when she made a guest appearance on the podcast "Making Moves" hosted by Taylor King. One quote she said made me spiral into thinking about all the times I prided myself in being a perfectionist. But is being a perfectionist really all that great?

New Year, New Me (Maybe)???

Mon, 03 Jan 2022 10:00:19 GMT

Let's reflect on 2021 and create some aspirations for 2022. I love to make just a couple of goals at first and then build on them throughout the new year. Big and small goals are great to give you direction but don't take them too seriously. New year's resolutions have been around so long, there's always next year to take another stab at it.

Reflect with me & use my worksheet:) https://pin.it/5skl7hO

Starting Adulting Newbie and taking Alexis Fernandez's advice!

Sat, 25 Dec 2021 02:22:53 GMT

Alexis Fernandez took a leap of faith, so I took a leap of faith. Hearing the "Do you f****** mind?" podcast pushed me to start mine and I am PUMPED. Finishing College and coming into the adult world has caused me to have some struggles... I want to talk about what I'm going through and what my newbs are going through as well.
