I got sick from a toxic relationship + how I healed my PCOS naturally

A highly requested topic about how I got physically sick from being in a toxic relationship, and how I was able to heal my body naturally after suffering from PCOS for years and having irregular periods, mood swings, weight gain, and more. For years, I didn't feel good in my body, and I knew I needed to make significant changes.

How to manifest a specific person back into your life

How to manifest a specific person! Listen intentionally with caution. I want you to be happy overall, so I want you to manifest someone ONLY if you truly feel they were your person. Also I feel like I'm going to get cancelled for being a cold hearted Capricorn in this episode because I discuss my icks, but oh well. In this episode I also talk about my experience from dating apps recently and some fun life updates. Enjoy! :)

How to handle rejection & move on

How to handle rejection & move on

Rejection is redirection - everyone has dealt with rejection at a point. Sometimes the universe is here to just guide you into a much bigger and better situation that you could've even imagined for yourself.

In this episode, I dive into a dating story time about a guy who got me hooked on him and then ghosted me - ultimately leaving me feeling rejected, hurt, and embarrassed. I also talk about how to know your value and how it was fairly easy for me to overcome this situation after time had passed.

Stop diluting your power for a man

Stop diluting your power for a man

It's easy to lose focus when you're so fixated on someone else. But baby, you have to remember that YOU ARE THE MAIN CHARACTER. When it comes to relationships, we often dilute our power and give our energy away instead of directing it towards OURSELVES. Agree or disagree?

The red flags you see now are the reasons you'll leave later

Self explanatory. If you see some major issues early on, my best advice is to get out while you still can. The red flags you see in the beginning are the reasons you'll most likely leave the relationship later - or they'll be the reason you're unhappy in a relationship. Yes, people can grow and change, however, I've noticed that my gut was always telling me to run prior to diving deeper into a situation with someone...yet I just ignored it. Let's talk about it.

Work on yourself so much until they're not your type anymore

If you're overly consumed by the idea of a person instead of focusing on yourself, this episode is for you. We get so caught up and easily fixated on a new relationship, or a partner that isn't giving us the love we deserve, and it becomes an ultimate form of distraction away from who we are, our goals, and what truly makes us happy. This episode is really just a reminder to work on yourself and your goals, and find the passion that drives you, instead of focusing on someone that isn't showing up for you.
