Life doesn’t change by playing it safe. In this episode, I break down why the biggest breakthroughs come from the boldest moves and how the fear of failure, embarrassment, and uncertainty can hold us back from even trying. From my own struggles with confidence to giving up on dreams too early, I share how I’ve learned to stop half-assing my efforts and start choosing the uncomfortable path that leads to the life I actually wan...

You don't understand the behavior because you would never do it. In today's episode, I dive into the emotional toll of trying to understand people who treat us in ways we'd never treat them. I unpack the frustration and confusion that comes from expecting loyalty, honesty, and emotional maturity from people who just aren't capable of giving it. This episode is a must-listen if you’ve ever asked yourself, “How could they do th...

In today's episode, I talk about "shiny object syndrome" and how people often look for the next best thing. People become so focused on what others have that they lose sight of all the incredible things and people they have! Instead of trying to find better, pay attention to what you already have. The grass isn't greener on the other side! The grass is greener where you water it! Good things take time!

We've all heard the quote, "If they wanted to, they would." You might have even used that quote to determine how someone feels about you. In today's episode, we're using this type of thinking and applying it to ourselves. If you wanted to do something, you would. If you wanted to chase your dreams, you would. If you wanted to leave that relationship, you would. If you wanted to move across the country, you would. Instead of ma...

If you’re stuck in a situation that you’re unhappy in or you want to make a change but you’re scared, this episode is a reminder that NOTHING HAPPENS IF NOTHING HAPPENS. If you want your life to change, you need to make the necessary changes. In this episode, I talk about letting go of things that no longer serve you to make room for things that do.

Instead of worrying if someone likes you, ask yourself, “do I like them?” Are they kind? Are they funny? Are they honest? Do they meet your expectations? Do they respect your boundaries? Are they living up to your standards? No? THEN WHO CARES IF THEY DON’T LIKE YOU. YOU DON’T EVEN LIKE THEM!!!!!

I started this podcast in 2022 when I decided to start taking social media seriously. I was so afraid of what everyone thought of me (hence why I called it Trying Not to Care), and I wanted to please everyone. I soon realized that no matter what I do, I cannot please everyone. Today’s episode is a reminder to not lose yourself trying to get approval from others. The things someone dislikes you for, someone else might love you for. ...

  3. Someone who becomes your enemy over a misunderstanding without trying to resolve it was always your enemy 
  4. We are products of our past but we do not need to be prisoners of it
