welcome to season 2 everyone! we are starting fresh with a new season, one that I am so excited to share with you all. in this episode, i will be discussing some very impactful tips and strategies on time management as well on some study spaces and other little "things" that work for me as a student. this episode can reach out to all students, whether that be in high school or college. enjoy :)

welcome back! I’m here with one of my closest friend and honestly like family… Hayes!! Since it is finally may, it was the perfect time to start talking about college decisions! Hayes! and I share our college application processes, as well as how we decided to commit to our colleges. Hayes had a really interesting college decision journey so she’s here with us to share her story. We talk about the various challenges we faced with rejection and acceptances as well as making that daunting but exciting decision to commit to college. We get down and dirty to the real truths about applications, decisions and the challenges we had to overcome. Hayes is super funny and it’s such a fun but real episode!! We hope you enjoy this episode!

Welcome back! In this highly requested episode, I go into my personal advice and tips about skincare! We cover everything from daily habits that affect your skin, to the lessons I've learned using various products and my personal experiences. I also talk about the way you treat yourself now affects your skin and body later. (P.S. Please listen to your dermatologist and doctor. I have done my research and this advice stems from my fair share of skin issues. I am speaking simply from my own experiences and what I've heard from other people. A lot of these tips are general advice on skincare. I mention certain products and brand names but am not sponsored nor do I encourage the use of them because everyone has different needs for their skin. What works on my skin may not work for you.)

Applying to college is a stressful process if I know any. On this episode, I am giving out college application advice. Reflecting on my and others' experiences during college applications, I've gathered some advice from my fellow seniors. I dive into topics such as creating a list of colleges, essay advice, teacher recs, financial aid, interview and video portfolios, and SAT and ACT advice. It's hard out here so we're here to mellow down that pressure and hopefully make the process a little easier. I hope this episode is helpful to the people who need it! 

heyyy i am back... and this time, I am not alone! Today we have Erick, one of my friends, talking about his and his family's spiritual journey. His story stands out to me because it differs from my personal Catholic upbringing. He talks about his biggest influences, how he carries his faith in his lifestyle, and how his faith, throughout the years, has become stronger than ever. He expands on his relationship and bond with God, how he started to sing at his church, along with some of his favorite scriptures! Erick and his family's journey truly inspired me, and I hope you can experience the feeling I had when he explained his amazing journey. (This episode carries no intention to influence or pressure anyone to a religion. We ask that you come into this episode with an open mind and heart to listen and learn.) Enjoy! 

welcome back!! this is our first episode of the new year 2023!! today I kind of reflect off of New Year’s resolutions and goals I have for myself. I’ve recently been thinking about how patience kind of plays a big part in my daily life, and how I can work on being patient more and more throughout my life. One of my resolution is to be more patient and more kind so today I want to kind of delve into how to be patient, some lessons I’ve learned about being patient. I’m not guru. Both me and you are learning, but I hope some of the lessons and experiences I’ve learned throughout my life can maybe help you reflect on your own life and start a good note for the new year!

hellooo! welcome back to another episode. Lovely to have you all back listening as always :) We start this episode a little differently with a little weekend recap. We dive right into the subject of social media. how can we control our time and energy on social media? how we can control what we see and what information we decide to feed ourselves? I also talk heavily about how to be genuine and true about what you post and how I learned this lesson. lastly, I talk about what it means to post for yourself and the difference between posting for other, clearing the confusion about posting for ourselves. todays episode is a solo one but it’s a good one so get comfortable and tune in!

welcome back! I’ve recently been in a rabbit hole of senioritis and I know some of my fellow seniors are too. So in the spirit of senior and junior year, I’m here to give you all some tips to combat these awful illnesses.

holaa! another episode, another slay! on this episode, our guest is one of my best friends, my homie, the og… give it up for charliiieeee mooorrreee!!! Today, we’ve decided to be very vulnerable and honest with our weight and body image journeys. The topic of body image and many of its subtopics have increased in conversation throughout the decades and had its increasing impact among our generation. Topics such as eating habits, weight loss, weight gain, dieting, the social aspect of our bodies, and the internal thoughts and insecurities are just some of the subject matters that many of us or possibly all of us, have had to think or deal with before we are even fully developed. We incorporate our experiences from our own family and friends. Charlie talks about his experience stemming from a surprisingly young age to his understanding of body image and health now. We are being quite vulnerable but truthful with our experiences. We ask that while you listen, you are respectful of both of our stories. If you have any questions or thoughts about this episode please reach out to me on my instagram: claire.silva4. We are more than happy to answer any pending questions you have! Enjoy!
