  • I Quit My Alarm Clock For A Month
    Sep 1 2025

    We all know the drill: the alarm blares, you hit snooze, and somehow the day has already started on the wrong foot. So I decided to see what would happen if I quit my alarm clock for an entire month. In this episode, I share what I learned about waking up naturally, getting better sleep, and how letting go of the beeping tyranny of alarms actually improved my mornings, my productivity, and my sanity.

    Aug 28 2025

    We all want to get better, but where do you even start? Last week, I broke down the worst habits, the ones guaranteed to make your life a dumpster fire. So naturally, this week I’m flipping the script. In this episode, I rank the best habits for self-improvement, or at least the ones Instagram swears will change your life. Are they actually game-changers, or just another excuse to buy a $50 water bottle?

  • Ranking The Worst Bad Habits
    Aug 25 2025

    We all have habits that shape our lives, some helpful, some… not so much. In this episode, I rank the worst possible habits in a tier list, diving into what makes them truly destructive, why we keep falling for them, and what that says about the way we live. Think of it as a cautionary guide to what not to do if you actually want to get anywhere.
