When going through a tough time the most annoying thing in the world is everyone seems to have all the advice on what you “should” do, right? Well you’re not alone, but the reality is that sometimes these things recommended to us are actually things we should be doing - but before we can even fathom doing them, we have to drop our bad habits. Besties, welcome Amy Morin to Almost Adulting! Amy is a licensed clinical social worker, college psychology instructor and psychotherapist, and responsible for one of the most popular Ted Talks of all time. Today Violet and Amy start the conversation by unpacking the often stressful topic of habits - how we form them, stick to them, and what we can do when we accidentally break our positive habits. The duo dives into what our bad habits say about us, and the importance of breaking them in order to create good ones. Through this, Amy teaches that mental strength and mental health are actually two entirely different things, and how the lies that our brain tells us affect us on a much deeper level than we realize. Finally, the ladies discuss a topic that life never prepares us for: grief.  Though grief is something no one can avoid, it’s never something anyone is ready for. Through Amy telling her story she learned coping mechanisms that truly changed her life, and that EVERYTHING always relates back to one thing…habits. Whether it be maintaining good ones, or breaking bad ones, habits can be HARD, so give each other grace and tune in to discover the tools you didn’t know you needed. THIS WEEK’S PODCAST IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY:TalkspaceTo match with a licensed therapist today, go to Talkspace.com.

Based on his life experiences, Barrett explains how he was always a dreamer and teaches tools to help practice constant gratitude and mental awareness, regardless of how dark the world may seem at times. Finally, the duo discusses why setting boundaries for yourself especially when using social media is a must, the importance of taking care of yourself so you are able to take care of others, and how we always have a choice of how we approach life and our dreams.

Do you have the tissues ready? 'cause it's about to get EMOTIONAL. Today I present to you my three-part Manifestation audio diary. Each section is very close to my heart so listening carefully. Do you feel like you've lost track of your dreams? That your life has become so mundane that it doesn't bring you the joy you once had? If the answer is yes, this episode is made especially for you. During this episode, I talk about how important it is to never lose track of your dreams, how to manifest the life that you want for yourself, and blocking negative energies that other people might put upon you. Never let anything or anyone get in your way because you are beautiful and you are loved. Make sure to remove yourself from situations that instead of adding value, make you question why you're even involved. You are a light in this universe and don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise BADDIES!
