Have you ever gone through a difficult time and were told that it's all just part of growing up? Have you heard of the most recent trend in wellness, the Growth Mindset? Do you wonder if this is just another bs movement, like the Positive Thoughts trend? Let's dissect what growth means, the ways it challenges us, and how Milllennials can channel all of our angst to make a difference. Episode featuring special episode art by Madeleine Valentin and "Healing" by Anaís Azul, the musical hymn for self-care.

Sometimes you look around and everyone seems to be doing leaps and bounds better than you. In this episode, I address the all-too-common flood of panic we all experience occasionally, where it feels like nothing we do is good enough. I explore some of the larger societal constructs that contribute to this phenomenon, and how I try to help free myself of it. Thanks for listening.

As you grow and transform, so do your friendships. Sometimes you outgrow them, sometimes they forget you, sometimes it's a mutual parting filled with love and goodwill. In this episode, Romina dives into the murky world of non-romantic relationships to get to the bottom of ties that bind, ties that break, and ties that bend.

Remember when you were a kid and wanted nothing more than to be a grownup? Remember when you became a grownup sometime in your 20s and your world just flipped on its head? Throw in all the sociopolitical tragedies we're constantly filtering through hectic news headlines and you've got a life wrought with conflicting feelings and thought patterns. Kim and I take a stab and identifying just what exactly it is that causes all the 20-somethings to feel miserable, and figuring out how to cope with massively depressing events like domestic terrorism and the anti-immigrant campaigns. Stay light, friends.

Welcome to the first episode of my podcast, going mntl. This episode delves into who I am, why I'm doing this and why I believe being uncomfy is the best thing you can do for yourself.
