In this episode I do a deep dive into why posting on social media is embarrassing and why it can be so hard to stay consistent as a beginner, this leads me to a bigger question--is content creation ethical? If so, how do we know when we dip into the unethical side, and why does it seem so hard to do content in a wholesome, helpful way? Join me for this special and personal episode 15!

It's okay to take a break, it's okay to slow down, it's okay to take a couple steps back, it's okay to take that nap, to eat that cookie, to push back that deadline, if these things will protect your overall health. I'm always being reminded that growth is not linear, and that the rest is just as important as the work. I read a quote today that said something along the lines of you are not just going in a circle it's a spiral and with every lap you are getting closer to yourself, and I feel like that is what i'm doing, over and over, learning and relearning the rules of life I've known since I was a child, and this was certainly one of them. Good to be back Lovies, enjoy the episode!

Sometimes it's hard to feel like you will ever be more than just a collection of all your mistakes and lows.

This anxiety of feeling like I'll never be more than the valleys of my mental health finally caught up with me and I fell into mental breakdown. During which I spewed hurtful things about myself and my partner. In this episode I share insights from a new rock bottom and truly embrace the feeling that the only place left to go is up.
