30. Expiration Date?

This week we're getting into my current ~morning and night routines~ and talking about how it's changed over the past few months. I think we all have a little routine that makes us feel our best, and it's important that we carve out time for ourselves to do things that FUEL our souls! I talk about strict routines vs. relaxed ones, and why it's good to stick to a schedule but not make it drive you crazy. This episode is a much lighter spin compared to the last few introspective episodes, so it's good to pop on just when you want a background voice, someone to listen to, or even if you are just really curious what another human being's routine is! I hope you enjoy :)

This week we go into the topic of feeling 'stuck' and setting boundaries...whether it's in our overall mentality, in friendships, in relationships, in our sport, in our career/overall purpose, you name it. I go through my personal journey of being stuck in various areas the past few months, and where I stand with setting boundaries, standing up for myself, and creating alternate plans when things go wrong. I think with social media & comparison it's easy to feel like you don't "have it all together" because you get to view other people's lives daily, but I hope this episode helps you realize that you're just where you're meant to be right in this very moment! So give it a listen, step into your power, and stop accepting the bare minimum.  Be sure to share with a friend or loved one! Appreciate you :) Here are the links that I mentioned in the episode!

Welcome back to yet another episode of Wholistically, You Podcast! This week, we're getting back into things and talking all things ~confidence~. Whether it's confidence in body image, in sports & performance, in relationships/friendships...whateva. Anything from an eating disorder to relying on sports for value, to relying on boys for self-worth--I've had quite the journey with this subject. Confidence effects us at such a core level that it can effect almost everything in your every day life. I get realllll #real in this episode. Talking about a lot of things that are longgg overdue--I hope you can sit back, relax, and feel empowered with me :)

Welcome back to another episode of Wholistically, You Podcast! This week we’re continuing the theme of being done competing in the NCAA. Maybe you’ve gone through this/are going through it/are going to go through it soon…but there is an end date in college. This is such a difficult, emotional transition and I’m here to share my personal experience with it. The date of graduation can often feel like an expiration date; that your time has come to an end, that your talent no longer matters, whatever it may be. I’m here to shed light on the subject, so give it a listen and let me know your thoughts :)

Welcome back to Wholistically, You Podcast! After a LONG hiatus from the pod, we're ~officially~ back and here to stay. This week's episode is all about wrapping up my college career as a D1 track/xc athlete, and what I learned throughout the journey. We talk all things identity in sport, academic validation, eating disorders/depression whilst competing, and so much more. Had 5 years to reflect and gain perspective for this one--give it a listen & I hope you enjoy :)

Heyooo and welcome back to another episode of Wholistically, You Podcast! This week we're getting into the concept of control--the element of it, the illusion of it, and why we feel the need to control certain things in our lives. You won't wanna miss this one because we get down to the root of it. Why do we feel the need to be perceived in a certain light? Why are we controlling our intake, our looks, our overall image? I share a lotta personal stories about my journey with the subject of control and how I cope with letting things go. Sit back, relax, and do yo thing and enjoy the episode :) Find me on Instagram @wholisticallysam or personally @samikulaaa Find me Tiktok @samikulaaa Appreciate you 🙂

Heyooo and welcome back to another episode of Wholistically, You Podcast! Today we're not just talking about gold medals and all their glory...but the why behind them. The hardships behind them. And overall just a reason to stop thinking that the world revolves around you and only you. Sharing some insight on being a collegiate athlete, accomplishing big things, and the journey and the road to get there. Of courseee we get real, raw, and honest - you can count on that. Also majorly apologies about the audio...the perfectionist in me is shaking in her boots but I hope you can just listen, relax, and vibe with the content :)

Welcome back to another week of Wholistically, You Podcast! This week we’re taking an interesting turn and talking about the subject of ~burnout~. Because maybe you’ve been feeling like you’ve turned lazy, unmotivated, detached from certain things? Maybe that you’re lacking passion in certain areas of your life that you never thought you would? Give this a listen to see that you’re really not that alone in this and that you just might be a bit burnt-out. I share my personal struggles w/ this subject, and I hope you can listen, relate, and enjoy :)

Heyoo, it’s another episode of Wholistically, You Podcast! After a week hiatus and having a few track meets under my belt, I’m back with another hour of some self-reflection. Lol. This week we’re talking about the long run: not just the long run in running but for the people, the activities, the things we do for our whole lives…Do you find yourself always looking for a quick-fix? Do we diet/exercise/hang around people for the wrong reasons? Finding a short-term solution to a long-term problem? This week we’re switching the perspective to how we live a lifestyle rather than just prepping for one race, one photoshoot, one date, whatever. So give it a listen and enjoy :)

Welcome back to Wholistically, You Podcast! So…this week we’re getting real honest. We’re talking all about the middle stages of a mental health journey. I feel like I’m in a rather interesting place in ED recovery right now? Where I’m way past my worst, but I’m definitely not at my best. Give this a listen to hear how I’m battling the ~limbo~ of a mental health journey. Hear how it effects the relationships with other people in my life, how it can affect my performances, and how I’m moving on from negative, disordered thoughts. I hope this resonates, I hope you don’t feel alone in this, and I hope you enjoy :)
