In this episode, I’m getting real with you and sharing a moment where I felt self-doubt creep in… and how I worked through it.

After taking a short break from the podcast to focus on school, work, and practicum, I’m back and reflecting on a recent experience that reminded me of something I truly believe in, the 1% better mentality.

I share:

• What happened during a group I led for student-athletes and why it challenged me
• The pressure I put on myself to “have it all figured out”
• What it looked like to sit in those feelings… and then move through them
• The importance of giving yourself permission to be human while you’re still learning

This episode is a reminder that growth doesn’t come from perfection, it comes from showing up, learning, and taking small steps forward.

I also walk you through two mindset shifts I’m actively working on:

• Naming what you feel without becoming it
• Letting go of unrealistic expectations and learning to meet yourself where you are

If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re not doing enough… this is your reminder that you are.

Sometimes the growth is quiet.
Sometimes it’s uncomfortable.
But every step forward counts.

And that’s what 1% better really means.

If I’m being honest… I didn’t realize how much I needed this check-in until I started talking it out.

With the first day of spring here, I found myself reflecting on the last few months and asking a simple question: how am I actually doing right now? Not how I thought I’d be doing back in January. Not what I said I’d change. But what my real, everyday life looks like today.

In this episode, I’m sharing a behind-the-scenes look at what sparked this reflection for me, something as simple as a weekly whiteboard question during my practicum that’s been getting people to pause, think, and be present. And it made me realize… how often are we actually doing that in our own lives?

I talk about what it means to live mindfully (without overcomplicating it), how easy it is to fall into autopilot, and why this time of year is the perfect opportunity to reset without pressure or guilt. Because the truth is, you still have time to shift, grow, and realign with what actually makes you feel good.

This is your reminder that change is constant, growth isn’t linear, and you don’t have to have it all figured out to start showing up differently.

In this episode, I dive into:

• Why March is the perfect time for a real-life reset
• The difference between living intentionally vs. on autopilot
• Simple ways I check in with myself each season
• Letting go of what isn’t working (without judgment)
• Why inner work takes time—but is always worth it

My hope for you is that this new season feels refreshing, honest, and aligned. And if something needs to shift… let it.

You’re not behind. You’re right on time

In this episode of Raising Serotonin, I open up about the pressure I’ve been putting on myself to do more, be more, and question whether I’m actually doing “enough.”

Sharing vulnerably from my practicum experience, I talk through the overthinking spiral, the inner critic that loves to show up uninvited, and what it looks like to catch myself before I let that negative voice take over. This conversation is a reminder, for me and for you, that growth isn’t about perfection, it’s about trying. And if you’re choosing to show up, stretch yourself, and do the work (even imperfectly), you’re already doing more than most.
