You Know Yourself Best: Living a Values-Based Life

Genuine Girl ·

2024/08/07

Welcome back! This episode is a lot, so buckle up. Lately, I've realized the importance of making decisions that align with my values rather than other people's. Whether we like it or not, many of us get so accustomed to living life on other people's terms, which can make identifying our own values difficult. In this episode, I share a few experiences that have forced me to reflect on what's really important - AND, more importantly, provide some exercises that have helped me

Instagram Is Not Reality: Reminders We All Need

Genuine Girl ·

2024/07/14

I am constantly amazed by how much of our worth we all place into a social media platform. From spending hours agonizing over our posts to spending hours scrolling and feeling bad about ourselves, it seems to be a never-ending cycle. In this episode, I chat through some of the trends I've seen Instagram users making more recently, but also share my thoughts around how the platform remains a breeding ground for comparison, negativity, and lack of self-worth. Most importantly, though, I want this

Getting Real About Body Image Issues (yay)

Genuine Girl ·

2024/07/08

Lately I've been going through a seemingly random slump of body image issues, which got me thinking... why does it still feel like I am alone in some of our struggles, and what can be done to alleviate them? My hope is that by getting real on the topic, I can bring more awareness and relatability around not always feeling great about our appearance.

Feelings That Are "Normal" but Not "Normalized"

Genuine Girl ·

2024/06/02

Today's episode is a continuation of my previous episode diving into the quarter life crisis concept. I don't know about you, but going through this type of crisis (or just life in general) can bring up a lot of feelings that are not talked about and/or accepted by society - leaving us in even more of a crisis than where we started. This episode is an honest conversation about some of the feelings/concepts that have made me feel guilty or insecure over the past several months, but I truly

Exploring the Concept of the "Quarter Life Crisis"

Genuine Girl ·

2024/05/08

I don't know about you, but my entire social media feed has been filled with some serious, some not-so-serious references to the "quarter life crisis" (specifically, how everyone is coping with it by either getting married or running marathons.)Today, I want to dive deeper into this concept by sharing some of the research that I have uncovered regarding 1) WHAT this crisis entails 2) HOW to know if you are experiencing it 3) WHY our generation in particular is experiencing this so

Accept the Challenge of Celebrating Yourself

Genuine Girl ·

2024/03/04

I know firsthand how difficult it can be to be proud of ourselves for our accomplishments, for all the work we're in the process of completing, and for who we are as people. Yet, lately I've also been recognizing the importance of carving out time for celebrations - both big and small - to actually enjoy everything we're going through!In this episode, I chat through my challenges with taking time to celebrate my accomplishments & my tendencies to be a toxic workaholic that have

My Running Journey (If I Can Do It, So Can You)

Genuine Girl ·

2024/02/07

Welcome back to another episode! This one has been planned for a long time, but I thought it would be extra special to record it as my marathon approaches this weekend.I truly have hated running for most of my life (and still do sometimes,) so the thought of running a marathon was completely out of the picture for a long time. In this episode, I go into detail on how my relationship with running & cardio in general has changed and ultimately led me to this very out-of-character decision of

Selective Focus: You Can't Do It All

Genuine Girl ·

2024/01/31

Welcome to another mental health focused episode! This one is all about the hard lesson that, unfortunately, we can’t improve every aspect of our life or our health at once. I’ve had to learn this hard lesson by sacrificing my mental health for various areas of my life that I think I can improve all at the same time… that has never worked out too well. In this episode, you’ll get to hear some of my vulnerable experiences trying (and failing) to improve in every area - and how I’ve grown to accept

Listen to This if You Feel Behind in Life

Genuine Girl ·

2024/01/18

We've all been there: bullying ourselves for what we haven't yet achieved, for where we think we "should" be but aren't, for feeling behind. If you're anything like me, these feelings are... umm... frequent... But good news: this episode is meant to help all of us overcome this lie that we are behind!! I share a couple experiences I've had as of late that have shifted my perspective on my present situation and what I actually want in my life - and hopefully they will

2023 Reflection & 2024 Thoughts

Genuine Girl ·

2023/12/29

Welcome to the annual New Year's episode, where I usually reflect on the past year & share my goals for the upcoming one! This year I'm taking a slightly different approach by focusing less on tangible achievements & goals - because I don't know about you, but I'm feeling a little burnt out from hearing New Year's resolutions and SMART goals at this point. Hopefully this episode will inspire you to think a bit differently about how you enter 2024. :) Feel free to rate 5

The Physical & Mental Health Benefits of Yoga

Genuine Girl ·

2023/11/29

Today I wanted to bring us back to more of the physical side of Genuine Gainz with some talk about yoga! As something that has been such a large part of my life for so many years, I figured it was about time that I dedicate an episode to the topic - but with a focus on what benefits you might be able to find from the practice if you decide to partake. :) Overall, it's just for fun - don't put pressure on yourself to be a "yogi" or follow any particular schedule, intensity, etc

What Even IS Work-Life Balance?

Genuine Girl ·

2023/11/08

Yes, we are going there today: existential crisis mode has been activated. I've been feeling a little bit ~unbalanced~ lately, but that feeling has actually been a blessing in disguise as it has allowed me to reflect on what work-life balance actually looks like in my life. Not to spoil the surprise, but I've found that (for me) work-life balance is just as much of what I THINK about work as it is what I DO at work. Hopefully this episode can help you brainstorm ways to get yourself in the

STOP OVERTHINKING & Make Those Gainz

Genuine Girl ·

2023/10/28

This is probably a message meant more for myself than anyone else, but if you also happen to struggle with overthinking any area of your life, I hope that this episode can be the wake-up call you need to take charge of your thoughts, make decisions based on intuition, & be in the present moment so that you can not only make effective gainz (in every area,) but also enjoy the process.

There are ways to be there for yourself no matter what you're going through, & today I'm sharing a few things that have helped me stay connected to myself no matter what is going on in my day-to-day.

My Mental Health ~Journey~

This is an episode that I have been nervous to record because it is definitely getting to another level of vulnerability that could potentially have negative consequences... lol... BUT, I am making this anyway because I genuinely want to spread awareness not only for mental health in general, but also for the specific impacts that it can have on our daily lives. It's so easy to think that someone has it all together on the outside, but it can feel lonely living a life that feels so opposite of

If You Struggle with Discipline in Your Wellness...

Genuine Girl ·

2023/09/24

Today we are talking all things discipline! I am taking a bit of a different perspective on this concept than what you might find across social media; while I think having a healthy level of discipline is good, I also think that many of us feel pressured to constantly be doing more, which just disrupts our discipline levels. So how do we get around these feelings? In this episode I'll dive into what I've used to REALLY understand my propensity toward discipline by sharing some signs of too
