    Episode 122: Cocktail - Gratitude
    Jan 24 2024

    This week we are discussing a cocktail of topics — including gratitude in relationships, understanding vs judgment, and providing value. Relationships can end anytime, so choosing and appreciating your partner daily is important. Do you think the idea of soulmates diminishes the value of relationships by implying destiny instead of conscious choice? Relationships require effort and finding new ways to love as individuals evolve. A conversation Lana has with her grandmother highlights the importance of empathy and understanding over judgment. Everyone is a student of life, and should constantly be seeking improvement. Asking those in our lives how we can be better for them fosters open communication and nurtures valuable relationships. When was the last time you asked those closest to you how you can be better for them?

    Thank you for listening! ❤

    Episode 121: Hello 2024, Part 2
    Jan 10 2024

    This week we are discussing quality over quantity, the benefits of therapy, the importance of being aware of our own needs & feelings, and how to be kind to ourselves. Don't just try to do more things, but focus on doing the things that are most important to you and that will make you feel good. Therapy can help you learn coping mechanisms and strategies for managing your mental health, but it's not a cure-all. You'll need to continue to practice these skills and make lifestyle changes in order to maintain your mental health. Taking a step back to try and see the world from others’ perspectives will help you to be more empathetic and understanding of others, which can improve your relationships and overall well-being. What do you do for fun? What makes you feel good? How easy is it for you to resist self-shame and instead forgive yourself and learn from your mistakes?

    Remember, mental health is just as important as physical health. By taking care of your mental health, you can improve your overall well-being and live a happier, more fulfilling life.
