How to Start Putting Yourself First

For this episode I brought my dearest friends Devin Tennant and Kaitlyn Lee to discuss toxic friendships dynamics we've been endured, the way we felt in those relationships, and how to navigate them so you guys can get the best out of your relationships. This is a long episode so listen in multiple parts if you have to. You won't want to miss a second of it. 

For this episode, I brought two of my favorite people Alyssa Revis and Ikreet Whala to discuss our experiences growing up as people of color in a predominately white area. If you are a person of color from an area like ours you are sure to have a laugh and nod along to this episode. We hope you enjoy.

In this episode of "How to be Your Best Self" I found it important to address the fact changing yourself for any reason other than your own well being and happiness is never the answer to the problem you're facing. Tune in to learn ways to accept your flaws and disregard outside opinions. 

In this episode of "How to be Your Best Self" I wanted to enlighten you all to the fact putting yourself first in situations is necessary and positive and help you feel more comfortable in doing so. 

This is the first episode in my new segment "How to be Your Best Self"! I recorded this brief episode alone to help listeners understand the universality of loneliness, see that it isn't something to fear, and then learn to be comfortable in that solitude. Enjoy!  

I switched things up a bit in this episode and brought some of my favorite poets, Gabriel Kris, Maryam Zalzala, and Kaitlyn Lee, to read a poem and dissect the themes and messages within the piece, the backstory, and emotions during the writing process.  Here is a link to the poems so you can follow along with us! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1449srOLCN1-uqs6yVcmk4if6J3dzsh_lWWJIo6TnKxw/edit?usp=sharing

In this episode, I brought Ama Adjare and Imani Boateng, who grew up in strict African households, to discuss how their upbringing made them into the people they are today, their family dynamics, and how they've navigated life under firm limitations and an unyielding belief system. 

In this episode, my cohost Isabel Kelly and guest Tran Lee, who I have known since freshman year of high school, joined me to discuss how we are grasping being seniors, reaching adulthood, college, and growing up. 

In this first introductory episode, myself and my co-host Isabel Kelly along with our oldest friend Logan Davis scrounged up some deep questions from the internet so you all could get to know us as more than just voices in a fun discussion before we dive into actual content. 

I've recorded a brief introduction so you all can learn a bit about what inspired me to make this podcast, what it's purpose is, and what you can expect in the future.
