  • 60: Amplifying Your Voice: Navigating Politics, Power, and Personal Stories in an Unprecedented World
    Nov 15 2024
    I’m back with a solo episode where we’re getting real about speaking up and navigating life when things feel a bit, well, wild. I might not be the loudest voice in the room, but I’m here to get vocal about the things that matter – setting boundaries, getting involved, and staying true to yourself when the world wants you to shrink. Key Takeaways: • Finding & Using Your Voice: Speaking up isn’t always easy, but it’s necessary. I’m sharing how to use your voice effectively, whether it’s at work, with friends, or out in the community. Change doesn’t happen if we stay silent. • Boundaries, But Make It Real: Setting boundaries isn’t just about saying “no” – it’s about knowing what you stand for and holding firm even in tough conversations. I’m breaking down how I keep things real with people who see the world differently. •Local Change, Big Impact: Want to make a difference? Start small. I talk about the power of getting involved locally, supporting causes that align with your values, and why small actions matter more than we think. •The Magic of Storytelling & Listening: It’s not all about shouting from the rooftops – sometimes it’s about sharing your story and truly listening to others. I explore how personal experiences can inspire change and build connection. • Self-Care While Speaking Out: No one said making a difference was easy. I get into why taking care of yourself while you’re out there speaking up is crucial. Because burnout? We’re not doing that. •Community is Key: Remember, you’re not doing this alone.

  • 59: Disney Effed My Love Life: How Disney movies have impacted how our generation views love and relationships
    Nov 8 2024
    Disney movies taught us to dream big about love—but did those dreamy storylines secretly mess us up? This week, Ditch the Ick dives into how Disney’s fairytales may have warped our expectations for real-life relationships. AND we have a special guest back on the mic: my bestie, Jersey! Together, we’re peeling back the layers of “happily ever after” to figure out what Disney got wrong (and maybe what it got a little right). Highlights: The Disney Effect: How movies convinced us that love should be instant, magical, and oh-so-easy. Unrealistic Standards: Why expecting a Prince Charming might have us missing out on real, messy love. “Happily Ever After”: Why the fairytale ending is the biggest myth and how to embrace reality. Red Flags in Disney: Revisiting some classic characters (Prince Eric, we’re talking to you) to see how Disney skipped over some serious relationship icks. Why You’ll Love This Episode: If you’ve ever found yourself disappointed that love doesn’t look like it does in movies, this one’s for you! Jersey and I are here to ditch the ick and help you reclaim a healthier, more realistic view on love.
