Mind in Pieces

Being your authentic self can be hard, especially if you feel like others will see you as "different." This week, I sit down with a friend who values honesty above all else. We discuss transitioning to high school, party culture, drug use, and forming meaningful relationships.

There are times when life feels simply unbearable. We all use different coping mechanisms to try to deal with these low periods, but sometimes these coping mechanisms create new problems of their own. This week, I sit down with my first guest from the class of 2020 to discuss what she's been through. We discuss sensitive topics that may be triggering to some listeners. Please use discretion.

We all have characteristics about ourselves that we aren't proud of; the question is whether or not we are willing to put in the effort to change them. This week, I sit down with a friend to discuss how he has matured over the years and what he's learned from the mistakes he's made.

Success doesn't always lead to happiness. This week, I sit down with a friend who has achieved many things but is still struggling to find joy in her life. We discuss emotional support, friendship, confidence, beauty standards, and more.

Shrapnel can inflict wounds that last a lifetime. This week, I sit down with a friend whose family dynamics have affected many other areas of her life and shaped how she sees the world. We also discuss academic pressure, self-worth, and the path to finding yourself.
