26. Dating ft. BFF

As you all know, I am very married so this week I bring back the BFF for talking about dating. We talk about dating apps, communication, experiences, and more. Trauma and experiences in childhood even get brought up to how we are treated now in relationships.

Who knew you could learn about yourself just from travel? Traveling brings more than just a vacation and seeing new places. It also brings us personal growth through experience, confidence, and out of our comfort zone. Some may even just find appreciation for their home and thats still growth. Fun fact: I learned my love for matcha by traveling to Las Vegas trying something I wouldn't at home. Spread your wings to a new destination and learn about you!

In order to flourish, I think you might be missing out on answering your inner child. This week's topic is all about that child you used to be. Thanks to a realization of feeling like I'm enjoying life again and feeling in harmony, I felt like you guys might want to do the same. I've seen a tremendous change in my mental health just by painting for fun again. I hope you feel that joy too :) THIS EPISODE IS UNEDITED FOR AUTHENTICITY 3 POCAST MERCHANDISE: https://www.etsy.com/shop/flourishwithness INSTAGRAM: @flourishwithness | @well.by.ness TIKTOK: @vvanessawenzl CONTACT: [email protected]

Summer is upon us and I don't know about you guys, but, i have been so busy I need a clean out and a reset.

Let's get back on track!

You know how they say you meet you best friend or you "person" in college? Well, meet Brandi. My person. Totally not planned but necessary, you are finally meeting my college best friend I always talk about. You'll learn more about me and a lot about Brandi. Brandi and I met a year ago in our college journeys and have been inseparable ever since. We were making a podcast for a project and it ended up into a 30 minute chat sesh with the best timing of meeting my person.

I indirectly took a little social media detox and I wanna talk about it as our first episode back! Social media has become such a demanding place but, it doesn't have to be. Taking a social media break can be great for your mind and becoming more present in the moment. I took one month off and I wanna talk about what I did and how I felt.

This week's episode is probably my favorite one to date. It is 100% my number one requested topic and such an important one today. I am talking to one of my classmates and friend, Madelyn Siner. Madelyn brought up the topic of mental health to me because it is so important to her as it is to me as well. We live in a society today different from previous generations when it comes to mental health. We get as open as it gets hitting all the topics on the beginnings of our journeys, the signs, testing, and advice we would give from our situations. This one gets deep so if anything sounds triggering to you, please feel free to skip anything you need to. If something resignates with you, just know it is okay, seeking help is okay, and I'm your biggest cheerleader to support you if you need it. My DMs are always open. I love you and you are more than worthy. <3 FIND MADELYN: IG: @madelynsiner Tiktok: @madluvsusmom THIS AUDIO IS (barley!)

This week we are talking about drinking and I don't mean water! We are talking about the idea of drinking alcohol at any age and the idea of drinking. Theres such an idea around drinking being the way people come together and the idea of drinking as a fun activity vs. not. I talk about how its totally okay to not and you're not alone!!!! Grab your mocktail, settle in, and listen in to my not so completely sober balanced mind.  THIS AUDIO IS UNEDITED FOR AUTHENTICITY <3 POCAST MERCHANDISE: https://www.etsy.com/shop/flourishwithness INSTAGRAM: @well.by.ness TIKTOK: @vvanessawenzl CONTACT: [email protected]

People pleasing is something we have always been taught to do. These habits have been taught to us to make people happy even if its not for us! We need to start thinking of ourselves and stop sacrificing our happiness for other. We deserve to matter too. Our feelings are just as important so instead of sacrificing our own feelings, boundaries need to go up. We go over topics and q&a at the end of the episode straight from you the listeners!  THIS AUDIO IS UNEDITED FOR AUTHENTICITY <3 POCAST MERCHANDISE: https://www.etsy.com/shop/flourishwithness INSTAGRAM: @well.by.ness TIKTOK: @vvanessawenzl CONTACT: [email protected]

If I had a brand deal for every time I've been requested this topic...that'd be a lot of brand deals. This week I'm talking about influencing and how I started in the influencing world and why I influence. Its a world bigger than a single picture of a product and and it has its own science to it! Posting your life can be even more fun when you connect with others and put something into the world. I go over brand deals, reality of brand deals, collaborations, media kits, and so many more! If you are thinking of taking on influencing at all in 2023, this episode is for you!  THIS AUDIO IS UNEDITED FOR AUTHENTICITY <3 POCAST MERCHANDISE: https://www.etsy.com/shop/flourishwithness INSTAGRAM: @well.by.ness TIKTOK: @vvanessawenzl CONTACT: [email protected]
