LACKING CREATIVITY AND INSPIRATION: how to get inspired and enjoy the creative process

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 that to me?” The answer might just be: because they’re not you.

Skinnytok is a side of TikTok where users talk about weight loss and give dieting advice. Although skinnytok may be helpful for some, it has caused extreme harm to others. Skinnytok often promotes extreme weight loss methods and unhealthy behaviors associated with eating disorders. In today’s episode, I talk about my opinion on toxic diet culture and my experience with an eating disorder. My intention with today’s episode is to remind you that you’re more than your body. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to take care of yourself, move your body, or eat healthy, but don’t let it be at the expense of your mental health or relationship with food or your body.

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 making excuses for why things aren't working out for you, start asking yourself, "Am I doing everything that I can to make what I want work?"

Have you ever opened up to a friend about a situation where someone deeply hurt or betrayed you, just to have that friend turn their back on you and befriend that person? In today's episode, I talk about what the quote "a friend to all is a friend to none" means, the importance of friendships, the fear of being disliked, the consequences of befriending everyone and how to navigate friendships where you feel like you've been betrayed.
