Hey there! This week, I kick things off with my tea talk (homemade cinnamon tea) and a life update regarding visiting my family, pranks with my cousins, going to the lake, and my cat. I introduce my unhealthy relationship with school by saying how long it’s been going on, the balance between giving and receiving, learning how to rest, taking the time to address it, how many of us struggle with it, my use of the word “toxic”, and outlining the structure for this episode. To provide context, I walk you through my story: how I was an average student transformed after watching Gilmore Girls which pushed me to the breaking point, then, I bring you up to speed and explain where I am today. Afterward, I try to understand why today’s youth feels like this by taking a look at the standards we are set, including the need to get into a good college, pressure by parents, comparison with friends, and feeling like we must always prove ourselves. Next, I touch on balance and health with allowing yourself time out, coping with the lowering of grades, navigating strict boundaries and trying to find happiness. I think it’s important to make a commitment with myself towards stability, passion with education and success. Finally, I share my weekly favourites in podcasts, online creators, and Instagram profiles before signing off.
