my delusional era
i'm in my delusional era. the ability to detach from the dreariness of existence and framing it as delusion eliminates so much unnecessary pressure which is exactly what I need. we talk all things hyperfixations, the idea of pranking yourself into doing things as a joke, my relationship with social media, dependency on screens and my favourite social media app ✨geneva✨.
you deserve multiple streams of peace 🏃🏾♀️🤸🏿♂️🧘🏾♀️🍃💕

i'm anxious not stupid
does your anxiety ever make you feel like a failure? does it ever make you feel stupid? let’s get real in this episode and really unpack the stigma that society has stuck with people with anxiety. as people who experience anxiety our thinking tends to be out of whack with reality and often times distorted - & that does not make you stupid or incapable it makes you human. regardless of what society make think or say i’m here to tell you differently. ..⃗. you are not stupid, and you are not a failure ◡̈ . and neither am i 👼☁️.

operation: hot girl
let’s talk about self love bb ツ
my biggest goal for 2021 was to exude confidence in all facets of my life and so this is where ‘operation: hot girl’ was birthed🖤🌙. when i say ‘hot girl’ i’m not just referencing the superficial ways to achieve ‘hotness' i'm talking an aura, an essence - a vibe - #vibecheck.

the art of start
hello & welcome to the perpetually anxious podcast! today's episode topic is fitting for my first ever podcast. we talk about the notion of done is better than perfect. i pose the question to you guys, asking in what ways are you hindered by doubt and fear in relation to starting something new or even just starting mundane tasks that you have to do. do it badly is what made me start this podcast and I hope it inspires you to do the same with whatever it is you have on your mind to do. i can't wait till I can hear from my listeners so we can go even deeper. stay safe and blessed.
