  • Have you ever wondered what could happen if you poured the same energy into yourself that you do into everything else?
    In this solo episode, I reflect on my past year of self-investment and share how you can start doing the same.
    Whether it’s hitting the gym, starting therapy, or upgrading your wardrobe, we’ll explore how small, intentional actions can help you become a stronger, more confident version of yourself.

    I'd always worked out at home, except for in undergrad when I would use a gym on campus. When I joined Planet Fitness some years back, I went like twice in one year, so I canceled the membership. Then I joined Life Time for 10x the price because I wanted more variety in my workout options, classes, a pool, and sauna. I went there multiple times a week until COVID-19 hit. So I learned that the greater investment was worth it with Life Time because I was way more motivated to go there than to go to Planet Fitness for $10/month.

    Not me listening to you on the stair-master at gym 😭 I’m sorry but imma listen to this podcast 24/7 at home, work, gym, when I’m getting ready in the mrn or when I want something sooting to sleep to until I can have encouraging conversations with the negative voices in my head.

    I love the message about tailoring your journey to you. Even small changes can make a difference/help you keep a growth mindset. Been starting to invest more in myself this year and learning to make the time to reflect and be intentional with my actions/being present. Hobbies have also been so helpful for learning more about myself. Being in college makes it hard sometimes to stay disciplined throughout the semester so having a toolkit of things that I can swap is useful for maintaining wellness. This semester I challenged myself to a weight training class too and it has helped boost my confidence even outside the gym.

    Interesting that we didn’t touch on financial investments. I think this focused mostly on external things-looks & appearances. But there are tangible investments that can be explore to better position yourself regardless of financial status.
