The 8PM Rule Podcast

About The 8PM Rule Podcast

This is basically my journal...just with a microphone. A thinking-out-loud podcast if you will! Every Tuesday, I share the lessons, stories, questions, and experiences shaping my life as a 22-year-old athlete navigating faith, boundaries, relationships, healing, ambition, and adulthood. I don't have everything figured out, and that's kind of the point. New episodes every Tuesday.

   Don’t Waste A Perfectly Good Ex | The 8PM Rule Ep. 15

   What if the hardest part of letting go is realizing you were the one making it feel like love? In this episode, I unpack heartbreak, ego, and why we stay past our expiration date. We’re talking about taking love off the pedestal, recognizing what you brought to the relationship, and leaving without letting the hurt turn you heartless. I'd love to hear your thoughts, stories, questions, or ideas for future episodes.

   Make Humans Human Again | The 8PM Rule Podcast Ep. 14

   What if we stopped expecting humans to be perfect and started valuing the people who simply aren’t afraid to be seen trying? In this episode, I dive into authenticity, ego, love, religion, and why I’m learning to care less about perfection and more about the heart behind it all. I'd love to hear your thoughts, stories, questions, or ideas for future episodes. Video:

   I Love Being Underestimated | The 8PM Rule Podcast Ep. 13

   Rejection is the best thing that has ever happened to me. In this episode, I talk about why I’ve learned to love being underestimated, how rejection has changed the way I see my worth, and why being honest about who I am makes it easier to let some chapters end. We also get into faith, discernment, and trusting what’s happening in the behind the scenes of my own life even when nobody else sees it yet.

   The Art of Being Delusional | The 8PM Rule Podcast Ep. 12

   What if being “delusional” is actually just getting an early screening of a divinely-induced version of yourself that nobody else can see just yet? In this episode, I dive into authenticity, anxiety, and how becoming both hard-headed and delusional have been the most quality-of-life-maxxing habits I've ever adopted. I'd love to hear your thoughts, stories, questions, or ideas for future episodes.

   Bring Back Shame | The 8PM Rule Podcast Ep.11

   Some things deserve grace. Some things deserve understanding. And some things…we need to start shaming again. In this episode, I’m talking about everything from our obsession with judging other people, using our upbringing as an excuse for who we are as adults, unnecessary lying, accountability (or the lack thereof), friendship, and a few completely unserious things that have personally pushed me over the edge. This is partly a conversation about giving people grace, partly about taking responsibility for yourself, and partly just me airing out my grievances with society. I'd love to hear your thoughts, stories, questions, or ideas for future episodes — and more importantly, what would YOU bring back shame for?

   I Have Beef with Birthdays | The 8PM Rule Podcast Ep.10

   Apparently nobody actually ever knows what they are doing. In this episode, I talk about my complicated relationship with birthdays, the pressure to have life figured out as you get older, the realization that adults don't actually know everything, and methods to reframe our views of aging. I'd love to hear your thoughts, stories, questions, or ideas for future episodes. Video: The 8PM Rule Podcast on YouTube.

   Insecurity Comes First | The 8PM Rule Podcast Ep. 9

   Insecurity, projection, self-esteem, relationships, the fear of being alone, and why nobody else can be responsible for making you feel secure. In this episode, I dive into how insecurity isn't always something other people give us but rather the lens we're already seeing the world through. What we see in everyone else might actually tell us a little more about ourselves than we'd like to admit. I'd love to hear your thoughts, stories, questions, or ideas for future episodes.

   Am I Obsessed with Chaos? | The 8PM Rule Podcast Ep. 8

   Maybe peace only feels boring when you’ve spent enough time getting really good at chaos. In this episode, I talk about life after constant deadlines and measuring sticks, the strange discomfort of having too many possibilities, and learning the difference between having something to do and having somewhere meaningful to go. Mostly, this is a conversation about what happens when life gets quieter and resisting the urge to make it loud again just because that’s what you know.

   You Don't Need More Confidence | The 8PM Rule Podcast Ep. 7

   Confidence, failure, potential, perception, changing your mind, and starting before you're ready, this episode is about why I don't think you need more confidence. You need evidence. Doing the thing before anyone validates it isn't an unfortunate part of pursuing the life you want, but rather just the price of admission. The Drake we know today, considered one of the greatest lyricists of modern times, was once releasing mixtapes and playing shows for $100...

    I Don't Think You're in Love | The 8PM Rule Podcast Ep. 6

    Heartbreak, breakups, attachment, grief, healing, therapy, delayed gratification, and why moving on isn't about pretending you don't miss them, but about choosing not to go backwards. This episode isn't just about romantic relationships. It's about every version of heartbreak: people, places, injuries, environments, and the versions of ourselves we're forced to leave behind.

    On Resentment | The 8PM Rule Podcast Ep. 4

    Resentment festers quietly through unresolved hurt, crossed boundaries, unmet expectations, and the conversations we never have. In this episode, I unpack where resentment comes from, why it's so difficult to admit especially toward people we love, and a three-step method that is helping me keep my heart vulnerable while still protecting my peace and banishing limiting beliefs.
