Medication has been part of my mental health journey for the last 10 years, and today I'm sharing that story with you. In this episode, we're having an honest, judgment-free conversation about SSRIs and SNRIs, what they are, how they work, and why I believe it's time to normalize talking about mental health medication. After asking my Instagram community whether they were currently taking an SSRI…
What does it really mean to be rich? In a world that constantly tells us to chase more money, bigger milestones, and the next level of success, it's easy to believe that our happiness is waiting on the other side of our next paycheck. But what if we've been measuring wealth all wrong? In this episode of Raising Serotonin , I'm challenging the idea that money is the ultimate definition of success.…
Summer has always been my favorite season, but over the years I've realized how easy it is to put pressure on myself to make it "perfect." In this episode, I'm sharing a reminder that summer doesn't have to be packed with expensive vacations, nonstop plans, or picture-perfect moments to be meaningful. Instead, I'm inviting you to define what this season looks like for you. We talk about creating a…
In this episode of Raising Serotonin , I’m diving into a mindset that I keep seeing all over social media lately: “it’s not that deep.” And honestly? I don’t agree. I talk about why I think this mindset can sometimes become a way for people to emotionally check out of their own lives, avoid vulnerability, avoid failure, or stay small when things feel hard. Because the truth is… your life is that…
This episode feels incredibly personal to me because I’m reflecting on the end of my first practicum experience inside a college counseling center, four months that challenged me, stretched me, humbled me, and changed me in ways I didn’t expect. I went into this experience wanting to be great immediately. I set impossibly high expectations for myself, thinking I needed to know everything, help…
In this episode, I’m getting real with you and sharing a moment where I felt self-doubt creep in… and how I worked through it. After taking a short break from the podcast to focus on school, work, and practicum, I’m back and reflecting on a recent experience that reminded me of something I truly believe in, the 1% better mentality. I share: What happened during a group I led for student-athletes…
If I’m being honest… I didn’t realize how much I needed this check-in until I started talking it out. With the first day of spring here, I found myself reflecting on the last few months and asking a simple question: how am I actually doing right now? Not how I thought I’d be doing back in January. Not what I said I’d change. But what my real, everyday life looks like today. In this episode, I’m…
In this episode of Raising Serotonin, I open up about the pressure I’ve been putting on myself to do more, be more, and question whether I’m actually doing “enough.” Sharing vulnerably from my practicum experience, I talk through the overthinking spiral, the inner critic that loves to show up uninvited, and what it looks like to catch myself before I let that negative voice take over. This…
In this episode of Raising Serotonin , I’m opening up about emotional spirals, the kind that feel overwhelming, heavy, and hard to pull yourself out of. I share some of my own experiences with spiraling and what I’ve learned through therapy, self-reflection, and giving myself a little more compassion along the way, I talk about the importance of slowing down long enough to acknowledge what I’m…
On this week of Raising Serotonin, I’m sharing what it’s really been like stepping into something completely new, my practicum for my master’s degree. I talk honestly about the nerves, self-doubt, and emotional waves that come with starting unfamiliar territory, and how quickly those moments can bring our deepest core beliefs about self-worth to the surface. I reflect on what it looks like to…
