So I've been thinking about money a lot recently. Since it's been on my mind, I figured it would be a good time to discuss some of the things I've learned about finances and money management over the years. I also discuss the ways the economy has changed from generation to generation. Although there will always be an argument around which generation had it the hardest, I think it's safe to say we are in a pretty tough spot right now as young adults. I hope you learn something in this episode that can help you better understand your finances/manage your money/etc. You are always welcome to share your thoughts with me on Instagram @biggirlbrain.

So I've been thinking a lot about how I used to handle the feeling of jealousy VS how I've learned to handle it now. Jealousy is ultimately about YOU. It's about how you feel about yourself. It's about the story you tell yourself about a situation you're skeptical of. Jealousy is a naturally feeling, but it is important to learn how to channel the feelings of jealousy and envy into constructive feelings. In this episode I discuss what I've learned about feeling jealousy VS acting jealous. It's a lot easier for us to control our actions over our feelings.  If you can learn and understand how to deal with your jealousy, you can use it as a way to consider your values. I hope you learn something new from this episode, it was very fun to read about and record. 

I've learned a lot over the last 2 years since I started working out consistently. If you don't know much about how to build muscle and burn fat in healthy ways, it can be challenging to get the results you desire. Unfortunately my journey started out rough. I wanted to make myself as small as possible, and I did not treat my body the way I should've. If any of you are struggling with or have struggled with disordered eating in the past, you are not alone! The road to recovery is not easy, it does not happen fast, but I am here to tell you that is IS POSSIBLE and it IS WORTH IT! I encourage you all to go the extra mile to take better care of your body. It's the only one you get. Thank you guys so so much for listening every week and being so kind and supportive! I love and appreciate each of you!!

Creating a disciplined lifestyle and routine is all about having proper balance. The goal is to prioritize what's most important, but not by neglecting the things that make you happy. Your mental, physical and social health are all equally as important, and you cannot grow in one area while you are neglecting the others. Be gracious with yourself as you take a step back and look at how you've allowed yourself to spend your time. As you move forward, remember that discipline is a verb. It is an action! The only way to create and maintain and disciplined life is by taking that first step into action! You are capable of more than you realize. <3

In the past I struggled with multiple thinking errors. Thinking errors are totally normal, but not an ideal way to look at life. If you can identify them and work to improve in those areas, you will be much happier and more successful. In this episode we will discuss 11 different thinking errors, and also the difference between the "Growth Mindset" and the "Fixed Mindset". As you listen, see if you can identify any of them inside your own mind. Sometimes it can feel like a shot to your ego and you may want to push these ideas away out of guilt. This is also normal, but don't give up! Strengthening your mindset is one of the best things you can do for yourself. I promise you, the confidence you will feel in the long run is incredible! I hope you learn something new today. Enjoy! :)
