  • E19: Create peace in chaos with easy routines
    2021/03/11

    Life is hard! It’s chaotic and sometimes the ongoing chaos can cause us to feel unwell. Today’s podcast details my recent struggles as a pregnant mom and how I plan to create order where I can, while still accepting the things I cannot change. Though we can’t always change our emotions, we can change some things around us. We can bring order out of chaos, develop healthy routines and habits, and utilize rest and reflection to recenter ourselves. 


    In today’s episode:

    How to get your head above the weeds

    Routines are helpful habits

    Organize your day - block scheduling

    Don’t neglect to care for yourself

    Reflection and trusting in God

  • E17: Where is the passion in your life? Pt 1
    2021/02/26

    Have you ever been told to pursue your passions, no matter what? When we make passions our primary pursuit, we often end up chasing a fleeting thing. Before doing so, we need to make sure we are grounded in who we are, content with where we are, and know why we want to pursue our passions. Furthermore, we need to consider if we could become passionate about the opportunities in front of us - where we are already at - before we pursue the next best thing.

    In today's episode:

    Work shouldn't be your primary source of passion and fulfillment

    How does contentment relate to passion?

    Understand who you want to become first

    Discern your "why's"

  • E16: Find comfort in the skin you're in
    2021/02/19

    This is my 3rd pregnancy in 3 years so I know what it’s like to be heavier and struggle to dress my body. But I refuse to hide it and remain uncomfortable in it, despite how my weight has fluctuated. It’s common to feel uncomfortable in your own skin for various reasons and the solution is deeper than just “loving your body.” It takes a mindset shift toward treating yourself well, instilling healthy habits, choosing positive self-talk, and allowing yourself to dress in clothes that make you feel good. 


    In today’s episode:

    I’m pregnant again!

    Feeling uncomfortable in your own skin

    The solution isn’t loving your body

    Treat yourself well

    Instill healthy habits

    Positive self-talk

    Dress in clothes that fit

  • E14: What is an uncommon life?
    2021/02/04

    I realized that, after 13 episodes of this podcast, it might not be evident to everyone what I mean when I say “uncommon life.” Where did that term come from and what could it mean for you?

    Understanding your “Whys”

    Finding your purpose

    Living a purpose-driven life

    Make your time reflect your priorities
