Society is SUSGuess Who's Back in the House (burned-out)Well well well what do we have here!? We are all so quick to prioritize all things society "needs" us to do, but when does this give us time for ourselves? 59% percent of Americans are currently feeling burned out in their day to day life; with work, school, or whatever your schedule consists of - little time is left to dive deep and explore what we truly want to do. It can be so easy to be filled with mental and physical exhaustion when working on the clock of societal demands. Join Lexi as she discusses her return to...

Society is SUSStand Up, DRANKAlcohol is something that is SO normalized in our society. Bad week? Drink. Long day at work? Drink. Nice day outside? Drink. You get it. While the moderate consumption of something enjoyable and stress relieving is not the problem, the way it is pushed as a coping mechanism, the dependancy forming habits, and way it is so accessable, IS. People are in jail for marijuana, yet alcohol is celebrated. With marketing and money, alcohol may seem impossible to avoid. Join Lexi in a conversation of the potential issues this substance can create and how we can make concious choices...
2021-04-0229 minSociety is SUSIt's Chill if You're Mentally illJoin Lexi as we discuss removing the societal stigma behind mental illness. This should not be some taboo topic we are ashamed of admitting or simply talking about. SO many individuals struggle and it is viewed in a negative light, when in reality, it is a very common and real issue. We must stop following sterotypes or underestimating people's ability. Your mental illness is valid and very real, and does NOT make you any less of a human being. As we as a collective release the stigma, more help and resources will begin to open up, we need them...
2021-03-2628 minSociety is SUSSounds About WhiteAcknowledge. Listen. Educate. Empathize. Understand. Use your voice. White privilege is an innate ability acquired at birth; for ALL. No one is exempt from this. As white people, injustices are not faced for simply being. While all humans have valid struggle and no one is taking that away, no white person is struggling BECAUSE they are white...and that is the sad difference. Systemic racism trickles down into society engulfing a population with negative sterotypes, unfair disadvantages, and in some cases, a fear for one's own life. Join Lexi as we discuss how this impacts society and what we...
2021-03-1930 minSociety is SUSCome Get Ya'll JuiceAlexa, play Kids by MGMT. Cute little babies, amazing right? Sure, but that does not mean all feel the same way. Having children is a lifelong commitment, and while some are ready to embrace that in stride; others may be completely turned off by the mere thought of it. AND THAT'S OKAY. Society loves to tell us how we should be living, it loves to scream the "CORRECT" lifepath in our face. Our own well being and mental health? Who cares just do as we say!!!

2021-03-1230 minSociety is SUSMy Purpose is NOT Having OneWhat's your purpose in this life? Okay don't think too hard. Lexi discusses how she has struggled with this concept for years, as society always makes us feel as if we need some grand obvious purpose to define our life. Purpose can be eating a piece of toast, walking on the beach, singing songs poorly as you drive; you get it. Purpose does not need to be some obvious part of who we are, and furthermore, it can change daily! Find joy and peace in the little things that fill you with passion.

2021-02-2630 minSociety is SUSGender Norms Are LameThis week we dive into the complex world of gender. When you do not identify with the set of expectations society has provided for your biological sex, it can create some confusion and discomfort and often, mental health struggles. Sex may be the biological sense of how we were born, but gender on the other hand is a construct society has (ONCE AGAIN) shoved upon us. Many assumptions, forced identities, and behaviors are influenced by this concept of gender, yet none of these should exist. BUT BOYS WEAR BLUE AND CAN'T WEAR DRESSES?! Patty, don't start.
