Shit's HardDecisions are Hard (What am I doing with my Life?)Ughhh wtf am I doing with my life?? Throwback to the very first episode. I’ve been overwhelmed with anxiety of the future since I ever realized I had a future. We’re talking about making decisions, detaching from outcomes, and having faith that it will all workout. There are really no wrong choices, as long as you’re doing what you believe is best for you. We’re going over my goals and future career and trying to get a better understanding of what I want, because this shit is hard :///

2024-01-1625 minShit's HardIntuition is HardWe are talking about intuition and what feels best to you. In friendships, relationships and everything in between I think we tend to act on what society tells us to do. But that may not always be the answer. We’re tapping into the logical side of our brain, and cooperating without our emotional side, to come to a conclusion that's optimal for us. Focusing on people who make us feel secure, and shifting our attention away from people who disrupt our sense of security. Let's get into it, because this shit is hard :///
