Get Comfortable with the Uncomfortable

Send us Fan Mailalright… so let’s just ignore the fact that I disappeared for a YEAR!anyway. I’m back my loveys. hopefully for good this time, but honestly with me you never really know. I missed this so much though, and I’m so excited to finally drop S2 Ep1 because after disappearing for a whole year, a new season felt necessary.this episode is a solo one, which I explain in the beginning, and we get into the myth of readiness, waiting for the “right time”, overthinking, hesitating, all of it. and why at some point you just have to act. like… unapologetically act now.If your reading this and you're like... "yea thats, that's me asf" thennnn this one is for you bc I really get into the theory behind why we hesitate and why we stay stuck.I hope you all enjoy so so much and see you guys on the next ep xxSupport the show

Send us Fan MailHi BEAUTIFUL people, meet this episode’s three guests: J, Lily, and Jada! If you’re a loyal listener, you already know that Jada and Lily have been featured on the podcast before (they’re our very first returning guests.) In this episode, we take campaigning to a whole new level, bringing authentic character to the table as we share our college confessions.We kick off the show with lively chatter about Pokémon and anime ( I dont know anything about these subjects btw), which quickly evolves into both humorous and heartfelt reflections on our time at The University of Virginia, and on growing to love the place we’ve called home for the past three years. I hope you enjoy the episode, and for my UVA students tuning in, don’t forget to vote!With love,Atty xxSupport the show

Send us Fan MailHey, my lovely people! I’ve missed you all so much, and I hope you’ve missed hearing my voice too. Today’s episode is bringing HEAT...so much so that we had to split it into two parts.We’re diving deep into religion in college. And trust me, whatever you’re thinking, we definitely touched on it, from sex before marriage to substance abuse, temptation, faith, and everything in between. But here’s the thing: even with such a heavy topic, this episode is filled with laughter, raw honesty, and some really eye-opening conversations. My hope is that while you’ll share a laugh with us, you’ll also walk away with a deeper, more profound understanding of how each of us views religion and how those views have shifted during college.Stay tuned for Part 2 because after hearing Part 1, you wont want to miss it. Love,AttySupport the show

Send us Fan Mail AHHH, welcome back fam (I missed you all). This episode is juicyyyy as we dive into... well, pretty much anything that crossed our minds. In this one, your host (that’s me, Atty—come on, you should know this by now!) invites three guests: Pooja, Merritt, and Daniel, for a heart-to-heart about life. Yep, just life. But here’s the twist, we're chatting about those sneaky stereotypes we form before even saying “hi” to someone. With this group's unique personalities , we take on the ultimate question: Do we judge people too quickly? Spoiler alert: things get deep. We get real about mental health, family dynamics, education (don’t worry, it’s still fun), and those assumptions we’ve all been guilty of. Oh, and we threw in some games...because why not?? By the end, we’re leaving stereotypes in the dust and realizing just how many people we miss out on when we let assumptions lead the way. So grab your headphones and hit play, and stick around because you won’t want to make the mistake of assuming you know where this convo is headed. Trust me, these are the kind of chats that just might change your outlook on life.XOXO,AttySupport the show

Send us Fan MailSTOP saying, “Why me?” and START saying, “Yes, MEEEE!!!” Welcome back, lovely people! Atty returns with yet another exciting episode (she literally says this every time, LOL). In Episode 6, she introduces two incredible individuals, Hermela Bernahau and Syrell Grier. Together, they dive deep into the beauty of life, exploring its profound essence. Truth is, often, we find ourselves trapped in our own bubbles, fixating on trivial details and losing sight of what truly matters. Our sense of direction, values, drive, and passions suffer as a result, largely due to our failure to appreciate life's beauty and really… just be grateful. Throughout this episode, they discuss the multitude of things to be grateful for, whether big or small, ranging from family, travel, ancestry, education, and food to social media, friendships, and a MILLION other things. Atty hopes that this episode will not only bring laughter but also serve as a reminder of the value and beauty EACH of you brings to this world. She encourages everyone to maximize their potential, acknowledge their shortcomings, and embrace being alive because life, after all, is a beautiful thing. So grab those headphones and get comfy yall, cause this episode brings you all the vibes and affirmations you didn't know you needed.Support the show
