You don't need to drink to have Fun on Weekdays | Ep. 31
So we all just got tired of going out?? In episode 31 of Fun on Weekdays, I talk about how my idea of fun has evolved since starting the podcast. I share the struggles of transitioning out of my “party girl era,” where most of my weekends were spent out at bars drinking, and the expectation that you are supposed to party in your 20’s. When in reality, we all need some nights in. As I find new passions and hobbies, I share the importance of “Fun on Weekdays” meaning something different to everyone, and how you don’t need to drink to relate to my message.

You don't need to move to have fun | Ep. 28
In episode 28 of Fun on Weekdays Podcast, I do something I hate - admit that I was wrong. Being comfortable somewhere does not mean you need to move!! After reflecting on the places I’ve lived, I realized it was never the locations I loved that gave me the experiences I’ll remember forever, it was the people. Sometimes all you need is a fresh perspective, treating yourself like a tourist, and discovering new ways to enjoy your home because after all, nothing is permanent.
