About Pieces of Passion

You aren’t alone, for so long I dealt with all my issues internally because I thought I was the only one who was dealing with certain things. I was convinced there was something wrong with me. We all deal with similar issues throughout life and it’s important for you to know you’re never alone and there’s nothing wrong with you. I hope this podcast allows you to feel seen and helps you better your relationship with yourself and the world. Personal IG: @macileejones Podcast IG: @myverbaljournal.letschat

   Nothing’s Wrong – I’m Just Tired

   Some weeks nothing is actually wrong — you're just tired, uninspired, and stuck in the same loop on repeat. This week I'm talking through what grad school, my hospital internship, personal training, and living alone actually look like day to day (spoiler: it's a lot, and it's the same lot every day). I'm getting into grad school reality vs. expectation, the surprising pros and cons of living alone, why "feeling behind" is mostly a comparison trap, and my go-to ways to break the cycle when everything starts blending together. Nothing's wrong — I'm just tired, and if you are too, this one's for you. Life update: hot summer days, new learning experiences at the hospital, my parents living their best life in Italy, Favs of the week: RHOBH, sweet potato fries + crispy chickpeas, and my walking pad. And an unpopular opinion… Follow: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Personal IG: @macileejones⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (https://www.instagram.com/macileejones?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==) ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Podcast IG: @myverbaljournal.letschat⁠ (https://www.instagram.com/myverbaljournal.letschat?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==)

   23 Things I've Learned in 23 Years

   I just turned 23, and to celebrate, I'm sharing 23 things I've learned in 23 years — some simple, some deep, all things I wish I'd learned sooner. We're talking body image and comparison, why changing your mind isn't quitting, advocating for yourself at the doctor's office, friendship quality over quantity, and why you should never settle in your 20s. Plus a life update on doomsday prepping (kidding... kind of), my birthday party, my dogs, and my current RHOBH obsession. Let's chat.

   Anxiety & Dating: Two Different Perspectives Ft. Lilly Van Alsburg

   My best friend Lilly Van Alsburg is back on the pod, and this episode is all hot takes. We've known each other since we were 8, but we could not be more different when it comes to anxiety and dating. We break down how our anxiety has shown up in totally different ways — social anxiety vs. overthinking, perfectionism, etc. from years of competitive sports, therapy trial-and-error, and what actually helped each of us manage it. Then we get into dating: our opposite approaches, the worst first date I've ever been on, and a rapid-fire red flag vs. deal breaker game where we don't always agree. Two friends, two very different perspectives — grab your coffee for this one. 🎙️ Follow: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Personal IG: @macileejones⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (https://www.instagram.com/macileejones?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==) ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Podcast IG: @myverbaljournal.letschat⁠ (https://www.instagram.com/myverbaljournal.letschat?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==) Lilly's IG: @lilly.vanalsburg (https://www.instagram.com/lilly.vanalsburg?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==)
