  • Self-Care or Self-Pressure?

    Self-Care or Self-Pressure?
    2025/07/20
    This one’s for you if you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by all the “shoulds” of self-care. 🫠 Is it still care if it just feels like another to-do list? In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the self-optimization bubble - how I fell into it, what I tried, what I learned, and what I’ve let go of. From morning routines and fasting windows to meditation, skincare, and that 10-step beauty ritual everyone’s talking about… Let’s get real about what actually serves you—and what just sounds good on the internet. Because not every trend is made for your life. And maybe, just maybe, the best routine is the one that feels like a warm hug instead of a full-time job.

    In this episode, I’m sharing a shift in perspective that came to me on a slow Sunday morning. We’ll explore why our minds love to fill in the blanks with worst-case scenarios, what’s actually going on in other people’s heads (hint: it’s probably not about you), and how to come back to yourself when your confidence starts to wobble. This isn’t about ignoring what people think - it’s about not letting it define who you are. Ready for a little mindset reframe?

  • I can do hard things!

    I can do hard things!

    Discipline isn’t always loud. Sometimes, it looks like tying your shoes when you’d rather stay in bed. Or showing up for yourself when no one’s clapping. This week, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my half marathon journey — not to talk running splits or medals, but what I’ve learned along the way: about mindset, commitment, and why showing up matters (especially when it doesn’t feel good). We’ll talk about: ✨ the reality of doing something when it’s no longer fun ✨ the mantras that carried me through ✨ and how setting priorities in one area of life can shift everything else too Plus, I’m sharing two TikToks that unexpectedly hit deep — and how they might just shift the way you see yourself and your life. Let’s dive in. And maybe you’ll find a little something in here that you didn’t know you needed. 💭 See (or hear) for yourself: - my Insta-Recap to my first Half Marathon last year: https://www.instagram.com/p/DCMcNkeMZBn/?img_index=1 - Book: David Goggins - Can't hurt me - TikTok: Different versions of you: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNdP5frwP/ - TikTok: Romanticize your life: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNdP5smxC/ Want to see what life looks like behind the mic?

    Things don’t always go as planned. You’re excited, you’ve got everything lined up… and then life throws a thunderstorm your way. Literally. In this episode, I’m sharing a story from my latest weekend at a festival — a weekend that didn’t exactly end the way we hoped. But instead of staying stuck in frustration, I took it as a reminder of something deeper: what if it was all happening for us, not to us? We’re talking about: 🌩️ Radical acceptance in real life (not just as a buzzword) 🍞 What burnt toast has to do with staying calm ⏳ How small everyday moments shape how we handle the big ones 🌀 Why control isn’t always the goal — and what to focus on instead So if you’ve ever had one of those “ugh, seriously?!” kind of moments (who hasn’t?), this one might bring a bit of peace and perspective to your day.

  • Role models, mentors & everyday inspirations

    Role models, mentors & everyday inspirations
    2025/06/22
    Who says you need a mentor? What if your next big step is just a podcast episode, a YouTube video, or a good book away? In this episode, I’m sharing thoughts on how the internet can help us shape the next version of ourselves — by learning from people we admire (even if we’ve never met them). It’s about finding mentors and role models, sometimes in unexpected places — and how that can slowly but surely change the way you think, live, and grow. Also: a little story from my recent travels that reminded me how beautiful small human connections can be. ✨ Tune in & get inspired.

    Ever felt like you’re somehow… not like the others? Like you stand out — at family dinners, summer parties, festivals, or even just in everyday conversations? In this episode, we talk about those moments where you feel like the odd one out — whether it’s because you made a different life choice, changed direction, or just don’t vibe with the crowd around you. No pressure to be loud or radically different — but an invitation to stay true to yourself, even if you feel a little offbeat. I’m sharing personal stories (cheerleading in a tiny town, showing up sober at a beer pong table 😉), some lessons learned, and reflections that might help you navigate similar situations — a little more grounded, a little more confident, and a lot more you. Let’s talk about… ✨ Belonging vs. authenticity ✨ Social norms that are just… weird ✨ Why people might push back when you grow ✨ And how to stay soft, open-hearted, and true to yourself through it all No preaching, just real talk. Let’s dive in.

    We’re all on social media. Probably every day. And while it can be fun, inspiring, and full of connection — sometimes it also pulls us into patterns we didn’t even notice were forming. In this episode, I’m sharing some thoughts on how social media really works behind the scenes — and how you can take back a little more control over what you see and how it shapes your mind. It’s not about quitting your favorite apps. It’s about using them in a way that actually feels good. And yes, there’s room for both: the fun cat videos and the content that lifts you up. Ready? Let’s dive in. .... Want to see what life looks like behind the mic? I share little thoughts, moments & more over on Instagram: 📲 @vanessa.fritz

  • Who says you have to stick to one thing?!

    Who says you have to stick to one thing?!
    2025/06/01
    Have you ever felt guilty for starting over — again and again? For changing jobs, hobbies, opinions, your whole vibe? Same here. 🙋🏼‍♀️ This episode is for the multi-passionate, ever-evolving souls. The ones who get excited about new ideas, new chapters, and the freedom to change direction (again). Inspired by a Madonna biography I listened to recently, we’re talking about what it means to reinvent yourself — not because you’re lost, but because you’re curious. And how society’s obsession with “sticking to one thing” might not be the only way to live a meaningful, successful life. We’ll talk about: 🎨 Why it’s totally okay (and even powerful) to pivot 🌀 How your values stay steady even when your path doesn’t 💡 Why being open to change might be the skill of our time 🧃And yes… why wearing a Disney shirt to the gym is 100% valid life choice If you’ve ever felt “too wild” or “not focused enough” — I see you. 🤍 See (or hear) for yourself: - Mensch!
